Not perfect but nearly there.
I live around the corner so was curious to see these guys working like Trojans over Christmas to get the restaurant ready for new year. Ever since they opened the restaurant has been busy every mealtime.
After a large late lunch, we got peckish around 8.30pm so it seemed like a perfect excuse to order from our new Greek neighbours.
We had mixed dips with pitta, hummus, spinach and feta fritters, mpriam (more of which later), a chicken gyro and (ordered by accident due to a dodgy phone line and a bit of confusion on my part in ordering) lemon and oregano roast chicken and potatoes.
The food was cooked to order so the two roasted potato dishes meant that we had a 30 minute wait - no problem for us but if ordering for delivery you should factor in that this is not really 'fast food'.
A lot of the food had lost quite a bit of heat by the time I got it home on a very cold January night so a quick blast in the microwave was needed to bring it back up to my wife's preferred temperature (two degrees hotter than lava).
The food was delicious. The mpriam (oven-baked potatoes, zucchini, aubergines, tomatoes, onions and herbs) was a triumph and greatly enjoyed by all the veggies in our house. The chicken gyro pitta wrap was also really tasty and a welcome change from burgers etc. The lemon & oregano chicken was good but the potatoes surrounding were another star.
Can't really comment on service as I was just collecting an order placed by phone but one of the owners whom I spoke to - George - was really friendly and seemed genuinely delighted with the great reception his new restaurant has had.
I want to bring a Greek friend to get his views but one thing is for sure - we'll be back. read more
