Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food, both taste and quality of ingredients, is second to none."
  • "Food was incredible, (having lived in Greece, it lived up to the standard!)"
  • "Amazing food and efficient service"
  • "The bread is served with really fresh herb infused olive oil and is absolutely delicious."
  • "Food is always such high quality and service is up to scratch."
  • "Great tasting food, attentive service and reasonable prices."
  • "The food was amazing. Would highly recommend the lamb kebab."
  • "The kebabs are phenomenal, cooked to perfection and you get plenty on your plate."

Cons:

  • "Food was OK, the Burger was not really made with love to the detail and taste was ok."
  • "Food was a mixture of cold and moderate temperature (chicken Shish and chicken souvlaki)."
  • "The food was OK in Glasgow standards but definitely not authentic and some dishes are misnamed."
  • "My shish chicken kebab was not enjoyable. The meat was very fatty and had bits of bone/cartilage."
  • "Kebabs done right...more like kebabs done wrong! I got two measly pieces of chicken with my chicken shish order."
  • "Food is ok.. Vegetables are overcooked, seafood Shish is called seafood but has only salmon!!"
  • "The food for me was a bit bland and underwhelming."
  • "Visited for lunch with a group. The food was ok, I had something from the lunch time menu which is £9.95 that doesn't seem to be available on the web site."

Service

Pros:

  • "Staff were lovely, attentive and we also enjoyed some great, reasonably priced cocktails too!"
  • "Really appreciate Ewan taking care of us, was very cheerful knowledgeable and helpful."
  • "Service: was nice, pleasant."
  • "Staff were really polite and friendly, the food was the best I've had in ages."
  • "The staff went out of their way to cater for me and my friends yesterday."
  • "Service was very good, prompt but not pouncing."
  • "Staff super friendly and attentive, ambience and decor spot on."
  • "Been here a few times now for lunch and have always been happy with the food."

Cons:

  • "The place was busy but it doesn't excuse the fact that the place was understaffed and this resulted in no waiters checking with us during our meal."
  • "Our friend was late and the server rushed us to order before they arrived assumingly because of the 1hr30 max table slot."
  • "It sat on the table going cold. At 1hr 30 there was clearly no rush for us to leave."
  • "Waitress bluntly rolled her eyes when we said we would be happy with tap water at first."
  • "The waiter came by ten mins after we asked for tap water and showed the same attitude. Absolutely disgusting."
  • "Had to deal with an incredibly rude member of staff during our last visit."
  • "Very unprofessional people. I invited my friends to have dinner and I booked a table with online for a specific time. Two minutes before I arrive to the restaurant they called me and they said they have to cancel my booking and there was no reason why."

Value

Pros:

  • "So 2 cocktails, one starter, 2 mains a side and a pudding (and a tip) all came to £61.50 which we thought was very reasonable."
  • "It's worth every penny."
  • "Very fair pricing, as well."
  • "The lunchtime menu is so reasonably priced."
  • "Great food and very good value! The service is very good too."
  • "This restaurant doesn’t take reservations, which means you might have to queue around busy times."

Cons:

  • "Probably wouldn't visit for lunch again as pricey...nearly £45 for 1 hummus, 2 chicken gyros, 2 soft drinks."
  • "Food fab Service fab The only downside if you get the seating in the middle, it can get cold when the door is opened as people come and go but other than that, fab."
  • "Tasty food but the portions to price ratio is ridiculous. A side of chips costed 4.5 pounds and it is literally 15 chips, no joke."
  • "Food was good, although could have been warmer."
  • "Food is ok.. Vegetables are overcooked, seafood Shish is called seafood but has only salmon!!"
