We had a Groupon for Simply Greek and didn't really know what to expect. Overall, we were really…read morepleased! The Groupon was for the Greek Mezze dinner, which requires a minimum of 2 diners. For £18 per person (we had it 50% off from Groupon!), you get a big platter of appetizers and a big platter of entrees, though the entrees are small, mezze-size. So you get to try lots of different things. Hard to remember what we had, but i think the appetizers were tzatziki, hummus, a broad bean dip, fried halloumi, vine leaves, spicy sausage, meatballs, and Greek salad. We got some garlic bread first, then pitta to eat with the rest of the dishes. Phew! Lots of food already! The hummus was really excellent - it was thick and garlicky and addictive. Different than I've had at other places, and delicious. The halloumi was great too. Vine leaves were the usual, I don't remember being particularly wowed by the meatballs and sausage, though they were fine, not my favorite part of the platter. The Greek salad had nice crunch fresh vegetables, olives, and tangy feta, so I really enjoyed that. We were getting full already! Then came the main plates - hard to remember it all! Greek pasta (yum!!), lamb (tender, amazing), chicken kebabs (gorgeous charred flavor, absolutely delicious), and some other things that clearly weren't as memorable as the other 3! I do remember chips that came on the side were hot, crispy, and basically perfect. The mains were better than the appetizers, in my opinion (except for the hummus). The meat was so well cooked, the flavors were just right, and we were very satisfied! The thing is, it's pretty pricey at £18 per person (without a Groupon). Though you will get very full, no doubt you'd get full too if you ordered a la carte and got one entree each and an appetizer to share for maybe £10 less. Since dessert and drinks aren't included in the mezze deal, I don't really think it's financially worth it. I'd certainly come back, but I'd order a la carte. Service was very friendly, our server was lovely and warm. You can't really see the dining room for the street, since it's below street level, but it's actually very nice with lots of Greek-looking decor, blue and white everywhere, sort of a beachy feel. Don't judge it by the plain exterior, give it a try! I'm sure we'll be back.

It seems telling that only a few months after it re-opened, it was almost completely full on the night when we visited.
