"The food was incredible."
"Classic greek food done well."
"The grape leaves which were AMAZING in a rich stewed sauce that brought me great comfort and tasted so good."
"The Kleftiko here is honestly one of the best meals I've had in London."
Cons:
"Seabass okay but veg tepid and slightly overcooked."
"In the main course, I ordered Grilled Fish on staff recommendation, it did not have much flavour and was a bit chewy."
"The food portions were enough and food seemed nice, however seemed to give me food poisoning the next day."
"The food might be okay, but the owner is terrible! We had a company dinner and I don't know what happened but the owner - waiter had a really bad fight with the cook just in front of us."
"The food is not fresh and poorly cooked/microwaved!"
"Disappointed with the meze. Not fresh and overcooked meat."

Service
Pros:
"The service was honestly the best I've had at any restaurant here in the UK."
"The waitress was very friendly with us."
"Good and welcoming service from the staff."
"Very good service, the minute you arrive you are warmly welcomed and seated at a table of your choice."
"Service was top notch and very friendly."
"The staff were so lovely, especially Sue who took great care of us!"
"The waiters were very friendly, the orders came quickly considering we were a big group of people and there were other groups at the same time."
Cons:
"Don't trust the 50% off of this restaurant!"
"Would have given 5 stars if we weren't asked to move from our table (before actually paying) just to give the table to another group who had just arrived looking for a table."
"The owner was hostile and rude."
"One of the staff seemed annoyed when I asked if I could alter my starter slightly."
"Horrendous owner. We had booked 4 months in advance for my son's baptism lunch and a week before, we rang to confirm. The owner immediately acted shifty and it was clear he had double booked."
"The servers were really friendly, but pressured to leave a review and confronted me when not happy about the review."
"One bad experience when my 10 year old chose here for her birthday treat. Service went out the window that day due to a large party given preference to any others."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"The sunset view is truly spectacular!"
"The atmosphere is great and the prices are competitive for the area of Camden Town."
"Really nice outdoor seating with cover if it rains and cosy atmosphere."
"From the moment you walk in, you feel at home."
"You can even dine outdoors while safely sheltered against the rain."
"The location is pretty and the decor is well cared for!"
"The atmosphere was awesome, people are happy."
Cons:
"Proprietor looked 'stressed'."
"What was truly disappointing was to see how tired and old fashioned this restaurant is, it is so stuck in the 1970s (skip the toilets)."
"Restaurant also had a quiet, awkward atmosphere."
"When asked if they do Halal food the waiter was very sarcastic and patronising!!"
"The toilets need looking at and need to be cleaned at regular intervals."
"Avoid!!!"
"I don’t know whether this food just doesn’t travel well (we ordered on Deliveroo) but everything was overcooked and bland."
Pricing
Pros:
"Great pricing, excellent performance and service."
"The prices are extremely reasonable."
"Great value for money, the potions are filling and the food is tasty."
"Very reasonably priced for both portion size and for London."
"The lunch option is perfect portion size and very good value for money."
"For 2 starters on top of the free standard one (we were treated to 2 more), 2 main big meat dishes, 2 glasses of wine, 3 glasses of Zivania and 2 coffees, we paid 68GBP, including the service charge!"
"We came here for a lunch and spent just under ten pounds for two courses (including a soft drink). Unbelievable value for food of this quality."
Cons:
"Well food was ok, price was NOT way too expensive."
"Not sure it would have been worth it without the big discount, though. It was nice, but it wasn't special."
"I mean If you don't want to do the full discount why you show it on the fork?"
