I had high expectations but the visit was very disappointing sadly. It was a Saturday at 7pm and…read morethe noise was overwhelming to the point that Mrs G and I could barely communicate across our tiny table for 2. The biggest disappointment was the food ( which is what we actually went for). We chose a number of Mezzes - essentially Tapas. Without exception they were disappointing - Mrs G's lamb chops were essentially burnt, and the whitebait was overwhelmingly "fishy" making me reticent to eat more than one tiny bite. (Nasty). The patatas bravas aoli came late (as did my lamb souvlaki) was so-so at best. The courgette fritters were actually chopped (I was expecting sliced) and barely warm. My margarita was tasty but tiny. The whole event was over in 50 minutes and we were pleased to call an Uber and leave.

From the beginning of our experience in Rozafa to the end, we were very, very disappointed with the service. The service was poor. They barely came to our table. When I asked our server to explain the dish, he acted like he didn't understand me and put it down for my order. We ordered a first course of pita bread and hummus for 3, and we were given 2 slices of pita bread while other tables were given 6 (for two people, btw). Once our dinner came, we didn't see the server for another hour. Yes, we were at this restaurant for almost an hour and a half and most of it entailed waiting to be acknowledged. We didn't see this with the other tables, and it has lead us to believe that they targeted us as Americans. We did not show them disrespect. We asked questions, and we tried to be unassuming. Needless to say, but it is not high on my recommendations. Ohh...and the food was okay.

There is no set menu here you either order the meat or veggie platter and the courses just keep rolling!! Starters: hummus, tsasiki, hot pitta, beetroot salad, potato salad Hot starters: feta parcels, stuffed tomatoes, etc there are so many dishes! Mains:sifado, moussaka, garlic mushroom, rice, chicken stew, chicken dishes All great big portions to share with extra sides! Drinks were very reasonable- they also have mythos beer which is such a tasty option! In terms of after you eat they get everyone up dancing round the restaurant so you will either love it or hate it! Be prepared for a crazy night of being told how to dance by the crazy host, lots of good food and cold beer!!

However this place is really NOT for that. This is the sort place where groups of people come to join in with crazy dancing and interact with the staff.. SO with that now in my mind we arranged a hen party to take place here. Having booked beforehand with £5 deposit each we were led by a waiter to our table. All of these were crammed closely together. I could not take note of any decor as it was dark , lighten with dim disco lights. Having ordered a bottle of rose the first set of food arrived. Lentils, olives , beetroot yoghurt dip, hummus, and tomato butterbeans. A large quantity of pitta bread was provided to shovel this in our mouths.. Next course cheese ricotta samosas, stuffed vine leaves, calamari, and chicken kebabs...Another course followed of stewed beef? moussaka, roast chicken and various rice...then finally a filo pastry dessert which toffee and icecream. The food overrall was of standard quality but the quantity you got was good. Food snaffled, the party began, everyone in the restaurant (apart from a couple trying to be romantic) got up and did a bongo train...After things got chaotic I grabbed a Mythos beer from the bar and watched the mad dancing continue. My friend was the third bride to be that night and so she was made to dance on a table solo, and with a member of staff ..followed by a shot of ouzo.. Other strange activities later ensued, including men pouring cups of water down each others throats, and swinging heavy tables with their mouths.. Everyone overrall enjoyed the crazy dynamic experience , if you are into this kind of party atmosphere then this is for you. I personally like nice restaurants/pubs with good food and a nice chilled out atmosphere where I can converse with ease...

Firstly, it's really well set up for groups so look into it if you have a work/bday type do. There were about 15 of us and ordering and food delivery went extremely smoothly. They have a two course deal for £19.50 with loads of great options - I obviously had the mezze platter to start and the meat platter for my main. Both tasty although I might go for one of the other starters next time as lots of the mezze elements were great but you don't get that much of each because the overall portion is so generous (i.e. this isn't really a complaint). The meat I thought was a very high standard, I enjoyed every element. Nice condiments accompanying it too. We were a little late to arrive so the entertainment (live singing) started while we were still eating - this made it impossible to chat so they might want to consider better volume control depending on what stage people are at with their night. However the entertainment was in general great - not the best belly dancer I've ever seen but very enthusiastic. The waiters also danced which was hilarious (note: some of them quite fit) and then they got everyone in the restaurant holding hands kicking randomly not-so-Turkish-style. I think this was the juncture at which my friend who knows I yelp turned to me and held up five fingers. Finally there was some DJing and we were dancing until at least 1am (and I'm sure if we'd wanted to stay out longer than would have been welcomed). Hilarious and fantastic range of songs from current top 10 to Spice Girls Wannabe and a whole load of other cheesy classics. I danced like nobody was watching. Unfortunately a large number of my work colleagues were watching and some of them had cameras. Overall if you're looking for something sophisticated/upmarket it's clear from all the reviews this isn't the place but if you're a group and want a bit of a laugh with some decent good value food this is ideal.

The best bits! 1. Tasty food and as much as you could consume in one seating - I only had 2 plates of mains and one of dessert but I seriously was struggling to breathe afterwards (in fact I couldn't even finish my pint in the next bar I was that full!) 2. There were some tasty Turkish treats but it was very international with all sorts - the lasagna was particularly enjoyable. £10.90 wasn't a bad price to pay for it. 3. The desserts were ace - profiteroles were so so so good! The bit's which let it down slightly 1. The beer selection was pretty lame with just generic lagers on sale - I only drank half of my Efes beer which looked like the best bet. No craft beer or ales. 2. The atmosphere was a bit lacking considering the buzz is that it's electric at the weekends - maybe they could do with adding something in the week! 3. I thought it was a bit (a big bit) of cheek putting a 10% service charge on our bill seeing as it was a buffet - I've seen some strange things in my life and this goes up there in the WTF stakes! Overall an enjoyable night out with friends but I'd struggle to five it a 4 on this visit.

Finally got to try this new greek place at the Village. The venue is spacious and I love the decor…read more The menu looks so appetising and contains new dishes that I haven't had before. The falafels that I ordered looked like cheesebites and the flavour was a bit bland but the tzatziki sauce brough the dish back with some flavour as it was well seasoned (£5.90). I really enjoyed the Saganaki and the way it has been coated in golden crispy goodness against the texture of the cheese that was similar to halloumi ( £7.50). However the best dish for me was Pastichio ( £9.50), greek macaroni with bechemel sauce and a hint of cinnamon. It is layered together similar to a lasagne. The rich sweet tomato sauce really took me back to my greek holiday in Symi. This place is average in terms of value for money but the service is outstanding. Plus the food brings a bit of mediterranean sun into the Village. Didn't get to try Lamb Souvlaki (£12.50) and Lamb Giannotioko (£12.75) as hubby and friend were way too hungry to share food! (Oh and Mythos is £3.50 a bottle)

(I still haven't eaten at Panchos - something about it intimidates me.) For £2.90 I can get a pitta the size of my face with an impressive amount of halloumi in it, in chunky fritters. This comes with all the expected salad and some nice fresh-tasting tzatziki. Once I was offered chilli sauce with it, which was a fantastic addition and something I wish to replicate. ("It makes it hot", I was told by the man behind the counter, leaving me to decide whether this was a come-on or a blindingly obvious statement of fact. Another time I ventured in out of the driving rain, with soaking wet hair, and the same man genuinely asked me "... is it raining out there?") For £5 you can get a drink and a portion of chips, but I probably wouldn't bother. The chips are soggy and boring and I'd rather just have a coffee paid for by The Man (a.k.a. my non-profit employer). Another solid option in my never-ending quest for a cheap lunch in the city centre.

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. :)
