This is easily the best Greek Souvlaki we have tried in London. Freshly made, authentic and delicious and friendly staff. Spoke to the staff about Greek HipHop and enjoyed his recommendations.

Visited this amazing cafe in the sunshine today and it was like being back in Greece! Only thing missing was a nice cold glass of Mythos. Delicious fresh food and lovely service. There’s nice seating outside to enjoy the sun and it’s very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

I had a lovely experience here. It has a wonderful atmosphere, it gave real Greek vibes with the decor and a very friendly family running it. The food was excellent and very filling, I love that the food is actually imported from Greece aswell. Will definitely be coming back again.
