"The taste of this doesn't remotely resemble Greek cuisine, and I'm really disappointed."

"The worst that I've ever eaten: it has been done last week or something, it was microwaved heated, dry, almost no aubergine or meat.. and the sides taste like plastic."

"Food was rather below average quality and lamb was horrible."

Cons:

"Waiters had very strong body odour, the sausage was still raw in the middle, and the sardines were dry, bland and likely frozen."
"The waitress was very hostile from the very beginning when we presented her with our kgb voucher."
"They told us to wake the sleeping baby up or leave the stroller downstairs because the restaurant was small."
"The only thing was the fact that we had to ask for the bill 3 times."
"Because the owner of this place is extremely rude and doesn't seem to care about the customers at all as long as he gets his money."

"First step in this restaurant: it smells smoke, old, dark, we were the only customers..."
