You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.

They hosted a large group of us and everything from start to finish was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fried calamari, char grilled octopus, king prawns, and even many of their dips. Those who had the meze were also very impressed. Portions are decent especially with the mezes.

Goodness gracious! We got here due to a recommendation from a Greek friend. As such indeed we…read moreexpected good quality but actually such phrase is an understatement. We had a big dinner with a few people, so luckily we got to try different stuff from the menu. Everything was SUPERB! We had a mixed meze entry of hoummous, tarama, tzaktziki, olives, potato salad, pitta, some seafood and so on and every single thing was superbly exquisite. All the entries were high quality, well balanced flavor and great consistence in the mouth. The different mixed meats we tried in the mains were excellent too. Perfectly cooked fish, pork loin with halloumi, exquisite squid and calamari in batter just at the right point (not overtly oily in the pallate) lamb-chops that were super fresh and tender along with other kebab-style meats and fresh salad on a delicious balsamic dressing, all exquisite! Last but not least, we hit dessert. Limoncello ice cream which was delicious! and very well presented, right consistency and not feeling too heavy. Then fresh fruit served on a flaming bowl of sambuca, to dip the fruit on before eating. I had never ever tried such! In short, stunning food, good ambient which feels nice and cozy yet not overtly formal. Better yet, prices are very reasonable. I can hardly imagine getting a better deal for top-notch Greek food anywhere in London. The location is pretty much apart from commercial locations and a bus from Wood Green to the site is anywhere from 10-12 min aprox But no matter where your point of departure is, trust it will be well worth the visit!

Staff here very welcoming and friendly…read more Had the Meze and after previous experiences with one of these mammoth eating sessions, decided to pace myself through the first courses. They were all fab but then got to the meat course, which i had saved myself for only to be very dissapointed. It was very small and the meat was very dry. it consisted of a lamb chop, a piece of chicken breast and a small greek sausage. What an anti climax. Would i go again, probably, but wouldnt have the meze.

I tried to leave yet he wanted to go here as he imagined there would be no where else to go. I the chairs and tables are so tightly compact I could barely move in my chair. The smell of beer was so poignant. We ordered an array of starters the worst being grilled kalamari, I don't know how they could of cooked it with so little taste. It was like rubber. When I ordered my steak to begin with I thought how it was near impossible to ruin a rare cooked steak. They did it, it came out medium with a small amount of pink. The sides were what I enjoyed the most, shop brought humous and bread. I left in disgust, and I urge Yelp to make 0 stars possible.
