Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was lovely and a thanks to the young lad who took care of our table, Tiago!"
• "Delicious food (the only note is on the prawn dish - it's mostly bulgur with few prawns)."
• "We ordered the Vegan Chicken Monastiraki (beautiful flavours); Vegan Meatballs(very filling); Gigandes with Spinach (refreshing); Pourgouri (very filling); pulled pork & chips (succulent); Tonia's Prawns(Not impressed) and the kids Chicken, Chips & Hummus (very dry meal). Overall the food was good."

• "The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal!"
• "Definitely the best Greek restaurant in Southampton."

Cons:

• "Horrible experience from when we walked in. We were ignored for a good 20 mins before being asked for our order."
• "After waiting for our lunch for 50 minutes after ordering, and heavily contemplating walking out, the food that arrived was probably the worst 'greek' food I ever had and among the worst food I ever had at a restaurant generally."

• "My family and I went to celebrate my birthday yesterday (10th june). We had a wonderful meal and the staff were very attentive and even gave me a piece of cake for my birthday."
• "The place was clean but quite empty for Friday dinner time. Although the houmous, tiropitakia, and lamb meatballs were good, we found the pork belly and chicken monastiraki very dry and tough."
• "Food isn't exactly cheap and the service is OK. Sat down to order and waited ages for drinks which is annoying."
• "The food was amazing. I loved the delivery on the stacked plates. There was so much flavour."
