Sokrates is a fine little Greek restaurant tucked away in the Pennines…read more The food is uniformly decent and surprisingly cheap. There's banquets to share and a good range of dishes, all of which look good enough on the menu to take a hopeful punt on. In fairness, they ARE all worth taking a punt on! The bar is as well stocked as any restaurant bar and the wine list is... well... I'm not a wine expert so I wouldn't know. From the look of it, it seems good enough unless you're Oz Clark. The staff are all pleasant and clued up and, on certain nights, they have traditional Greek music and, well, let me just say that, if you're after a quiet romantic night in, avoid this one (ring ahead to find out when it is as I can't remember) as it can get a bit loud. Fun as hell though. A good little restaurant this!

Mykonos is a greek restaurant near the train station…read more The owner of Mykonos, Dimitri, is the friendliest, happiest restaurant owner I have ever known. He gets really involved with the people who eat there. Whenever I have been there, he has made me get up and dance with him on a table at the front. After the dancing he gets everybody outside and lets us all smash a plate. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is the best I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I highly, highly reccommend this place to people of any age for birthday meals, anniversary meals, a fun night out with friends, anything! You will have fun, guaranteed!

He had us all up dancing all around the restaurant and out into the street and down the side of the building to smash plates! we all had such a good night that i will definately return!

It's run by a husband-and-wife team who clearly like to ensure their guests are all well taken care of during their meal, we felt very welcome and the service was excellent. As we were a large group we decided it was easiest to order several 'Meat Meze' platters to share which turned into one of the most delicious banquets I've ever had. Oodles of houmous, tzatziki, warmed pitta breads, succulent pieces of pork, chicken and lamb, some giant looking baked bean things which were totally moreish, I tried everything and disliked nothing. It was hands down one of the top five meals I had in 2013. Dimitri came out from the kitchen to chat to us after our meal and told us they source fresh local ingredients for their dishes and you could certainly tell this was the case from the tastiness of what we'd ordered. If you're ever in Northenden, dining at Alexandros is a must. Tip: Expect to pay £16-19.50 for a Meat Meze and £15-18.50 for Vegetarian Meze (the portions are very generous!).

The chef who owns the biz is Greek and his wife is at the front of house, she's very friendly and polite and can't do enough to help with menu choices etc.. Chef also pops out to have a chat which is just lovely. We went for one of the Mezes in the end and had to take a doggy bag because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs! When we went a carafe of white wine imported from Greece was very reasonable price I think around £3.50/£4.00, it might have gone up now, who knows. All I know is that I cannot wait to go back for more!

Despite passing this place on my school bus for 5 years however I'd never spotted it before. I now realise this has been a huge oversight on my part! I went with a group of 10 people for a bday celebration of an ex housemate. The staff coped really well with a big group and we were taken very good care of. They don't put a tip on as standard even for a large group - I prefer this practice, other restaurants please take note! The interior is nice, basic rather than luxurious but this adds to the atmosphere. They have a good drinks menu, I shared a carafe of red wine with someone and it was decent for the price. The menu has lots of choices, too many - I wanted everything! I had the deep fried halloumi in batter. It was delicious, perfectly done but I'd have preferred a better salad garnish, it just had 3 wedges of raw tomato with balsamic glaze. Friends shared the mezze platter and this looked great. Everyone said the starters were fantastic. I then had a steak casserole dish with star annise and cinnamon. The mains come with a choice of rice, chips, salad or roast potatoes. I went for chips and they were perfectly cooked, the rice looked good on other plates too. The meat was tender and the onions in my dish were lovely and sweet. I really enjoyed it. They brought out a piece of chocolate fudge cake with candles and sang for my friends bday, a nice touch. We all tried a bite of cake and the fudge icing was delicious. I had a medium sweet coffee which was the only down side of this meal for me. The Greek delight it came with (a piece of pink sweet very like Turkish delight) was amazing but the coffee itself was very bitter and full of grainy residue. Overall I loved it, really want to go back and try someone dishes. Needs to go on the list for yelp events I think!

A friend recommended this restaurant to us, so we decided to book a table and give it a try…read more Knowing that the venue has served as various types of restaurant in the past, first impressions were that it has been given quite a good makeover, right down to the colour theme of the island of Santorini. The welcome from the staff was friendly and we were shown to our table straight away and left with the wine list. Whilst not extensive, there are a number of Greek wines to choose from so we tried the Makedonikos, a medium dry white wine that went quite well with our food. Of course, being a Greek restaurant we had to start with a mezze, and there's certainly plenty to choose from here. We tried a small variety of dishes including the calimari, tzatziki and hummus, all of which were delicious. Next, the selection of main courses provides plenty of choice and we both decided to try the Stifado, a favourite of mine since I first tried it in Cyprus a few years ago. The beef is so well cooked here until it is really tender and just falls apart on your fork and the sauce is full of flavour. Highly recommended :) My only comment on the restaurant itself is that, although they've tried to capture the essence of Greece, it's not *quite* there yet. The lighting seemed just a bit too bright and behind the decor, the resturant seems just a bit too modern for a traditional Greek taverna. Hopefully this will change over time as the restaurant develops a bit more character - it is still quite new after all. Otherwise, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back. :)

So when I spied the rather nice looking Meze I made a bee line for it. It's quite a swanky looking eatery, especially in the area it's in and inside it didn't disappoint either. The waiters were pleasant and efficient and it all looked promising. That promise was maintained throughout the evening. The food is Turkish and Greek and a cuisine I've not really sampled too often. I wish I had though if this is any standard to measure by. Really tasty starters and fresh, well cooked mains. The kebabs and Turkish rice was simply delicious. The wine list was also perfectly good and the price, although not cheap reflected the standard of the food. A must for lovers of this type of food.
