It's our first time trying Greek food, and we were super excited as we've seen many good reviews about this place🤩! Happy to say that the food didn't disappoint and we'll definitely recommend it to those who want to try some authentic Greek food. Remember to get their Chope vouchers as well!👍🏻

Grilled Lamb Chops (Paidakia) were super good, nicely grilled and super tender, without any gamey taste🍖! We also loved the Moussaka, especially the layers of minced beef, eggplant and potato which tasted super comforting when eaten together🍲. Kinda reminiscent of a lasagna!

For dessert, definitely try their greek yogurt, as the texture was unlike what we've ever tasted before😲! It's light and fluffy, but creamy at the same time. Slightyly sour too, which was a perfect match with honey🍯. We also received a complimentary dessert as we were celebrating a birthday, which we believed was called Galaktoboureko😬. Looked unassuming but the layers of filo pastry with warm custard was super good, not too sweet too!

The makeup is kind of like a snack, it's some sort of crunchy biscuit inside chocolate. Overall the texture is like nougat, and somehow it's very delicious, if a little too sweet

This was complimentary for birthday, it's off the menu so idk why there's an original price but I'm guessing the normal portion would be bigger for that price

Greek yoghurt. Top quality stuff, it's so luscious and fluffy and thick. But rather ex tho. I'm most impressed by the quality of the walnuts, it's so crunchy despite being smothered in honey

It's written gyro on the menu but this is how they spelt it on the receipt

It's alright, rather bland actl I kept spamming the feta cheese dip

The ckn was well grilled but rlly needs more seasoning to bring out umami

Get something else when you're here, this isn't much more satisfying than stuffed

Their lamb chops are pretty unique, it's not the Uber tender kind with a strong char which is my ideal. This one was tender and a meaty bouncy bite. Unfortunately the sauce was too sour for me, it's not v strongly flavoured otherwise. There's no crust too.

Potatoes were really nice, it's almost moist actually, you can have it on its own. There's a mild fruitiness to it

Overall it's pretty good

Very good pita, quite different from the normal soft pita that's ubiquitous. This one is noticeably darker and thus more bite and more smokiness, with nice salt and spices on top.
