On the corner of Bellshill Main Street is not the place you'd expect to find an authentic Greek restaurant, but don't let that put you off. Inside the decor is standard, nothing special, but the food does the talking. Whilst looking through the menu, we were brought some lovely fresh bread, butter, olives and some oil and balsamic (which we duly inhaled). I could've ordered everything as it all sounded so delicious. I started with 'Pastourma' - Greek village sausage with a Mango salad. The sausage its self was spicy and quite dense, similar to a chorizo. It was delicious and paired beautifully with the unusual combo of Mango salad. For main, myself and my 2 friends all went for the Lamb Gyros. The lamb was absolutely meltingly tender. The pitta was doused in oil and Greek herbs and was sooooo tasty. Served with Tzatziki (oh the Tzatziki!!!!) and salsa, it was so authentic and delicious! I couldn't finish it, although I truly wanted to! We had sides of Tzatziki with dip, which I love anyway, but this was just extra special. So creamy and garlicky and just divine. We couldn't possibly fit in puddings, but they do a small Greek selection. The only thing that could have improved my meal was a round of Mythos (being pregnant this wasn't to be :(! But I cannot wait to go back and get my next Greek fix!!

We loved this restaurant and enjoyed all our dishes. The good thing about small plates, at modest prices, is if a member of your party doesn't care for a dish it's no big deal. The salads, the kebabs, the dips, the seafood... everything was first rate as was the service. Only dish that faltered (and we had 10 among four of us) was the moussaka. Terrific meal! They need to pay more attention to their Yelp listing - there's a full bar, excellent cocktails, and they take credit cards - despite the Yelp listing.

As I get further into my twenties, I've found that restaurants have an increasing tendency to play their music very loud. I'm sorry, and call me old fashioned, but one of the main things about going out for dinner is that you are there to have a conversation with the person you are with. I'm not there to get my groove on. Anyway, I digress. I really enjoy Greek/Turkish and Middle Eastern Food which is what this place specialises in. We chose some mezze plates including the chicken souvlaki, soutzoukakia (meatballs), the Moroccan Chicken Tagine and the Loukaniko. It was mouth watering. It was great value too, the portion sizes were manageable and we left very happy customers.

Tucked away on Bath Street just round the corner from the hustle and bustle of Buchanan Street sits this newly opened family run business. At fist sight, it didn't look all that inviting, perhaps a bit barren and empty even, with just the odd smattering of funky artwork on the wall and some rather plain and sad looking furniture. We arrived at 7pm and it was rather quiet with the stereo playing some Greek pop music. Fortunately after a half hour of so, the atmosphere picked up as the restaurant got busier. The menu looked good, with a range of hearty looking Greek grub, but I didn't really know what I wanted, it just had to contained grilled meat. So, I just asked for the traditional Greek Meze, which is a set meal and very popular in Greece. Surprisingly they didn't offer it, but the owner said it wouldn't be a problem to whip up his favourite dishes and do us a Meze style banquet for us. We polity accepted and waited for the food to arrive. We were treated to some really fantastic dishes. To kick things off; Saganaki Prawns, made with feta cheese and a deliciously rich and tasty tomato sauce. I think we polished off a couple of baskets of bread mopping up the splendid sauce. Furthermore, a wonderfully seasoned and fresh Greek salad and some grilled cheese with tomato and peppers. The main dished comprised of Gyros, which is a pork style kebab, delicious, and skewered, charcoal grilled lamb and chicken with the house's fresh, hand-cooked chips, yum! It fair to say, after all that meat, I spiralled into a deep meat-coma and was unresponsive to any form of chat or questions, hence agreeing to a desert when asked by the waitress. I went for the wonderful and rich Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts to really finish me off. Fortunately our lovely meal meal wasn't ruined by Greek dancing nor the sound of smashing plates. This was an initial concern of mine as the restaurant is certainly big to accommodate this. Credit should also go to the father / daughter combo who work tirelessly in the kitchen and in attending to the customers needs quickly and with a smile. Oh, one more thing.........if your ever in town and fancy a tasty snack they do a wrapped Gyros to go for just £3.95, total bargain!

I am also sorry to report when something doesn't quite meet expectations. But that was the case for…read moreme at Yiamas. I came in for a late lunch--there were only a handful of people in the restaurant but everyone seemed happy enough with the food and immersed in either work they were doing or in the conversations they were having. It is a pleasant enough space (the 1st floor) and definitely has enough room for groups, which is a plus. However, the food was less than satisfactory. I ordered a pork souvalki, which unfortunately they were out of and had to settle for what I thought the next best option-a simple gyro pita. While the presentation was absolutely fine, the meat was just lathered in grease. It looked as though the fat had never been properly wiped off of the meat and that addition oil or maybe even butter had then been placed on top of the fat. There was also too much salt content--which suggests to me that the meat isn't at the quality it should be. Gyro is street food in Greece. But that doesn't make it greasy--it should not be greasy at all in fact. In Greece, the gyro meat stands alone, in that it is not covered in fat, oil, or salt. It is covered with an array of vegetables (which vary depending on the chef and vendor) but usually consists of fresh tomatoes, onions, sometimes fresh and sliced cucumbers, sometimes lettuce, always with potatoes (fries that are lightly fried), and always with a healthy amount Tzatziki. It is absolutely delicious and frankly, should be filling but should not make you feel sick (unless you over eat!) Perhaps Yiamas other food options are better. But on principal, I am not a fan of an establishment that has loads of grease on any of their food items--not a good precedent. On another unfortunate note, I do need to mention that the bathroom did not seem to be properly cleaned as it had a terrible odor. This definitely could have been just an unfortunate and one-time problem but it was an issue on my visit. On a better note however, the staff was nice and helpful--there was very little tzatziki on the gyro and they immediately gave me more when I mentioned it to them. As other reviewers mention as well, the food is reasonably priced. So in the event that the other foods on the menu are have less salt and grease, perhaps it will amount to a better experience.

As the Duke of Paradise I feel it is my duty and indeed my honour to award this exquisite…read morerestaurant 5 stars. Paradise is one of the finest looking restaurant in all of Glasgow. Its actually like a mini museum with hundreds of wonderful and ancient looking Persian artefacts and paintings adoring the walls and bookshelves. I could spend hours looking at all the stuff, but its not the real reason why I come here. Of course, the real reason is for the sumptuous Persian food. Persian or Iranian food is famous for its kebabs and these guys do some of the meanest kebabs I've ever had the pleasure of eating. In fact Persia offer a plethora of wonderful kebabs, like minced lamb, lamb fillet, chicken, fish and prawn. The kebabs can come singly or in various combinations and with different marinades and seasoning's. If you are struggling on what to order I would totally recommend a mixed kebab which comes in portions for 2 or 4 people. The mixed kebab for 4 also includes succulent grilled lamb chops, about 8 other various kebabs and rice or naan. I'm not even a fan of lamb chops, but in Paradise they taste so good. For a price of £49 this is an outstanding bargain. For non kebab lover there are also the famous Persian stews. These are often very rich and fragrant made with interesting spices and citrus fruits for example. For vegetarians, these will be you main options. The starters are equally good. As some of you know I am a bit of an aubergine freak and the Mirza Ghasemi (Grilled aubergine, garlic, egg and tomato sauce) is outstanding and tastes brilliant with their freshly made naan bread. Another firm favourite of mine is the Olivieh Salad, which is deviliciously addictive. If you are an adventurous type you may well fancy a shot at some of the peculiar deserts. Although most are not really to my likin, take for instance the Falode (Noodles mixed with crushed ice, rose water and sugar, served with a slice of fresh lemon) or Fresh Carrot Juice and Ice Cream. They are pretty interesting but a bit odd for our western palate perhaps. The baklava is always a winner though and the portion size can feed a few. It's worthwhile mentioning that Persia doesn't serve alcohol which obviously keeps the cost of the meal down considerably. I've been visiting this place for years and the quality of food has always been excellent. Therefore, if you fancy a taste of heaven, I would definitely pick Paradise :)

Tucked around the corner near the Hamilton Advertiser newspaper offices, Costas in Hamilton is one…read moreof, if not thee longest serving restaurant in Lanarkshire, celebrating its 40th anniversary recently. I am ashamed to say I haven't been, and as someone who is getting fonder of Greek food by every taste, I couldn't wait to try it out. My boyfriend and I had an early dinner here last week and, after searching for it for a while, discovered it hiding around a corner, quite inconspicuous for passers by. However, we quickly realised that this place does not rely on passing trade, but fills the tables instead by word of mouth from loyal customers, some of whom have been coming here for all of its 40 year rein. It was empty when we arrived, and we were quickly seated in one of the stained glass booths which are quite beautiful. The décor of the restaurant is traditional, bordering on old fashioned but warm and comfortable, with an air of familiarity that made you feel right at home. We decided to order from the Early Evening menu (5pm-6.30pm), a two course starter and main for only £9.95 per person. We ordered a bottle of house wine which was lovely and very drinkable, and got down to choosing our meal. We both went for the Bruschetta a la Greque, a large piece of toasted bread topped with peppers, rocket, feta cheese, red onion and olive oil. I have no idea why I ordered it because I don't really like tomatoes and I hate red onion, but it just sort of came out of my mouth! When it came, it was presented beautifully and topped full of ingredients. I picked the onions out, but other than that it was delicious. The rocket and feta were warmed and incredibly tasty, a delicious start to the meal! I ordered moussaka for my main, and was surprised to see it came with a small mountain of fries and salad! I thought it would have came on its own. It was absolutely yummy, real comfort food, although I felt the bechamel sauce topping was just a little too thick for my own personal taste, which made it unnecessarily stodgy. I couldn't finish the fries either, but they were deliciously fluffy on the inside and just the right side of crispy on the outside. Even though I was stuffed I couldn't resist a look at the sweet trolley which I absolutely loved the idea of. The waiter wheeled it round with an array of both traditional Greek and the usual deserts, and I decided to have a slice of dime bar cake, which I have tried before and absolutely loved! With a dollop of cream, it is to die for, honestly! It's a must if you get the chance to visit Costas. We spent a while finishing our wine and chatting, before being brought the bill, which was very reasonable at just over £35. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was lovely and the food was good, but I would love to go back and sample the full menu to get a real flavour for the place.
