    This fantastic turkish restaurant is hidden just behind Southwark station, and covered by plant…read moregrowth. The restaurant is basically located in a converted railway tunnel which adds to the charm. I selected the lunch menu. Despite the items being extrmely hard to pronounce I managed to order a starter and a main. The starter was a calamari rings in batter with a sweet chilli dressing followed by an adequate main of 4 chicken patties with bulgerwheat and salad. Very tasty, good portion and quality. This is definitely one to try again. The lamb shank looked good from what others ordered and I'll be trying that.

    It is nice to see more and more places popping up in this previously quite deserted area. EV is…read moreperfect for a quick fix before or after a visit to the theatre or Tate Modern. It's self-service with all mezze dishes on display behind a massive glass counter. I can't remember exactly how much they charged for a selection of four salad items, but the portions were very generous and good value. Mind you I wasn't as impressed as I have been at TAS proper (they belong to the same group). The tzatziki and grilled aubergines were rather bland. I was impressed by the freshness of the parsley salad though and felt I was eating healthy food. EV is located under some railway arches and has the ambience of a generic self-service buffet restaurant - the type you get at National Trust properties. It somewhat lacks in atmosphere, even though the turquoise chandeliers add a touch of class. In summary: more of a quick lunch fix than a destination for a good night out.

    My friend and I ate here for dinner last night. It's cash-only btw and you can pick up money from…read morethe cash point at the Sains a two-minute walk away. It's £13.50 for the meze including dessert. I got the veg meze and she the meat (chicken). A bland soup and two delicious mini feta and spinach spanikopita start the meal and then a starter of dips and various food like broad beans, hummus, beets, etc. Some were flavorful and others bland. Overall though the food was lukewarm (when some items should have been served warmer) which I was disappointed at. Only the bread (which my friend loved) was served hot. I enjoyed my roasted veg and potato main (served hot) but the rice and peas accompanying it were bland. But the salad was delicious; loved the dressing! My friend loved her chicken and overall seemed to enjoy the flavors better than I did, as I saw it as hit or miss. The dessert was a homemade yogurt with honey which I loved but my friend not so much. The Greek wine is cheap and very good! I got a white and my friend the red. We got a carafe of tap water but it took some arm-twisting in that the owner only wanted to serve us bottled water initially. It was only upon ordering wine that he digressed. The owner speaks in a low voice but is obviously passionate about his food and business. I wasn't sure I would be full because the meze looks small (I eat a lot) but I left pleasantly sated.

    Incredible, fresh and traditional Greek food. Was blown away by the pita, Veggie Musaka! Greek…read moresalad was so fresh, especially the feta. Very kind waiter and love supporting a small family business! Vegan options!
