Food Quality

Pros:

  • "All the Food was amazing."
  • "The most delicious Greek typical food you can find in Bath!"
  • "Food was amazing. Some of the most delicious Greek food I've eaten."
  • "Fresh, authentic and so, so tasty."
  • "Particularly recommended: Htapodaki marinato - Marinated Octopus with olive oil and thyme - super tender and flavoursome."
  • "The food is delicious and the service is very friendly and helpful."
  • "The food was incredible - it was all I could do to not eat the smoked aubergine dip with a spoon!"

Cons:

  • "What a ripoff! This place is a throwback to the early 00’s late 90’s where no matter what cuisine you got a really bad imitation of reality."
  • "We had a Meze of refried/reheated and (what tasted like) supermarket antipasti type dishes eg the roasted peppers and houmous, that didn't taste anything like what you get in Greece."
  • "The food was far from genuine or well cooked at all for that matter."
  • "The food was simply not fresh, it felt like it has been made several hours ago."
  • "Really dry and oversalted meat in gyros."
  • "The Greek salad wasn’t tasty and defiantly not worth what was charged for any of the dishes."
  • "The chips were reheated in the microwave and were hard like stones and we could not touch them, the meat was old and abs disgusting, full of fat and looked green."

Cons:

  • "The service was a little slow, but it was addressed without us saying anything - an extra portion of pitta was offered."
  • "The service was a tad slow, but the food more than made up for it."
  • "Absolutely disappointed with the service, half of the menu was sold out."
  • "And the worst part was the poor service - it took forever to take our order; there was no checking in to see if everything was okay; no offer of water; our food order seemed to get lost."
  • "One thing that we were a bit disappointed is that we were waiting for quite long for food. We were very hungry, it felt like ages."
  • "I had to wait very long for my bill."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The atmosphere was lovely and an overall wonderful evening!"
  • "The atmosphere was really nice, completely chilled out."
  • "A true gem hidden away just off the main high street. It's like walking into a taverna in Greece where you're greeted with big smiles."
  • "It's the best Greek taverna we've found in England and we've tried plenty!"
  • "The location and ambience are charming, and the feel is very homey."
  • "Lovely atmosphere, there is greek music playing in the background."
  • "The atmosphere of this lovely little restaurant left us feeling as if we had spent a few hours in Greece!"

Cons:

  • "The place is now hugely busy and booking ahead is essential. The dining area is fairly small so it does get very hot inside and the atmosphere is busy - both draws or downsides depending on what you're after."
  • "It's a very small restaurant, which means it has a lovely ambience, but the dining area is fairly small so it does get very hot inside."
  • "The only thing is that it is quite small and tight."
  • "Seating is limited and there may be a wait at times."
  • "Unfortunately just after we sat down and order a large group with several young children arrived."
  • "No WiFi and absolutely no mobile signal inside."
  • "They tasted a bit like cough syrup."

Value

Pros:

  • "Food, service, quality/price were all very good and high quality."
  • "Reasonable value, if not cheap."
  • "Prices very reasonable."
  • "Authentic Greek food and very reasonably priced."
  • "The meal was very reasonably priced."
  • "Food was a bargain price. Plentiful and generous proportions."
  • "The meze were very good sized and great value for money."

Cons:

  • "Both my friend and I thought the salad was overpriced for what it was."
  • "I have given a four star review mainly because I don't feel the prices reflected the portion sizes."
  • "Needs to be said, me and my girlfriend, we normally don’t spend more than £30-40 on food when going out. And our bill here was double that. BUT, the food was absolutely amazing."
  • "We've just come back from Greece so we thought we'd buy a spanakopita in the uk to compare but at £7.50 each for a small snack I couldn't believe it, £15 for two!?! Classic city robbery, felt like an idiot instantly after buying them."
  • "Obviously, the place is pricey, 17 GBP for a gyros is too much."
  • "Very expensive for mediocre food."
  • "But the salad I got (classic Greek salad) was over 9 pounds, really pricey for what it was."
