THIS PLACE DESERVES 11 STARS…read more I came to London as a tourist, not knowing what to expect. My son and I found out about this place by a recommendation by someone in our hotel. The food is Mediterranean, which is a delicious food type already. Melabes is in a great location which has tons of shops around. So, when you get tired of spending your pounds in central London, you can come here for an amazing experience. The atmosphere is splendid and decorated beautifully. The service is impeccable, we got our food extremely swiftly. And lastly, the food is so delicious my conscious doesn't want to stop eating. So in conclusion, come on down for an overall splendid experience.

The family and I were vacationing in South Kensington and ordered with medium expectations. Everything was exceptional/fantastic. The food portions/value for the cost is awesome. It all comes with foil containers and we had enough for multiple meals. The food flavor is exceptional. Well seasoned but not overpowering. My personal favorite is the Chicken Taouk (sometimes called Chicken Shish depending on what menu you're looking at). Incredible value. We'll absolutely be ordering here again in the future.

I don't think there's enough Greek restaurants in the Sussex area so its nice to see this place…read moredoing so well. Its a family run business that really does pride itself on making you feel welcome once inside. I've traveled quite extensively around Greece and this place really does its best to reflect the hospitality you get out there. We always go there for lunch and have a couple of lamb Souvlakis as it really does take you back to Athens! They do a lot of dishes for two to share at some really good prices. I saw a seafood mixed grill float past me that looked really impressive. Great for large parties but do watch out for the Ouzo - it catches up on you after a few!

Honestly, feeling a strong sense to give a one star review. Never thought I would be asked to leave…read morethe table "because the next party has arrived"... and at a Greek establishment? With wine still in our glasses, and coffee still hot?! Sorry, have to give a HUGE thumbs down on service. And offer my disbelief and dissatisfaction at whoever is managing this restaurant and borrowing from Greek culture, whilst missing out on the key component of Greek dining. Either you're a sell out. Or you're an outsider and you're exploiting Greek culture and cuisine. One the website we get: "MAZI, which means 'together' in Greek", but it should be followed with, "... but don't take too long, we will ask you to leave." Having said all of that, and trying not to affect the rest of the review, food was not great. Mushroom Chicken was the best dish (was the priciest line item - second to their service charge - but the only dish that I was impressed with). Tiger Prawn risotto was very bad (both the prawn, and the risotto). Grilled Octopus was average (size, prep and quality of octopus left a lot to be desired). The Calamari Citrus was also less than average. Lot's of the seafood sadly missed the mark - Tuna Crudo was the most satisfactory of all the seafood items. I will say that the cocktails were prepared well. Including a welcome drink. And the juices were fresh - albeit expensive. In fact, everything was overpriced - but it is London, I get it. Still wish the food tasted better. The atmosphere was loud and energetic. The cherry on top was the service charge (highest line item on the bill). Cheers to ownership and management for appropriating Greek culture and putting a heavy London spin on the dining experience. My family would have had some choice words for you, thankfully they were not present to be insulted. Anyone wanting Greek food, I would recommend to look elsewhere. The culture and cuisine has A LOT to offer, unfortunately Mazi disappointed for us.

Came here on a recommendation of a friend who lives in London and we were not at all disappointed…read more We started with some great cocktails and I really enjoyed the Aegean Negroni I opted for; the addition of black pepper simple syrup really added to the complexity of the drink. Every single dish we had was superb, from the jars of tzatziki and tiropita to the crispy calamari and seabass tartare to start. The fresh bread, which was lightly charred, really paired well with the tzatziki and tiropita which were lightly whipped and so flavorful. The seabass came with a cucumber and jalapeno broth which had just the right amount of spice to elevate the fish. For main we split the lamb and grilled octopus which were both perfectly prepared. The lamb, which appeared to be sous vide, was cooked to an exquisite medium rare and the octopus had a great char both was still tender. The service and setting were both great and we highly recommend this establishment.

Highly recommend stopping in here for a fresh, nutritious, and reviving meal. As a tourist, this is exactly what I needed to eat after several days of junkier food. We ordered family style, sharing: - a grilled chicken platter that came with salad, rice, and some kind of delicious spinach based sauce - meat stuffed aubergine with couscous, a yogurt sauce, vegetables, and potato salad - cabbage, carrot, parsley salad - Greek salad - pita and hummus Everything was so good and felt so good to eat. The flavors and textures all complemented each other well. The stuffed aubergine was said to have tasted just like my husband's Armenian grandmother's home cooking. Owners were super lovely!

The food is pretty great and worth a visit or two, because I didn't have enough stomach room to try every single dish. We ordered naan, labneh, za'aluk, artichoke, oyster mushroom, cauliflower, and finally lamb. You can watch and smell everything that's being made and it's all tasty.
