Date Night — Best Greek in London

Start with

Açma Verde & Salt Cod XO Labneh

The universal consensus across reviews is that the bread program is 'amazing'; specifically, the açma (a garlic-laced Turkish bagel-hybrid) paired with the salt cod labneh, which Nick Lander called the 'highlight' of the spreads.

Start with

Merguez Sandwich

Called "spectacular" by critics, it features spiced lamb under a "duvet of melted provolone" and a "rustling avalanche" of paprika-dusted straw potato crisps.

Start with

Hummus

Described as 'the closest thing to a revelation,' this 'homely' version is 'hefty and grainy' because the chickpeas are broken up with a fork rather than blitzed into a paste.

Start with

Hummus with Masabacha & Crisps

Described as the 'best £5 you can spend in London,' this 'show-stopping' dish is a multi-layered affair featuring velvety smooth hummus topped with crushed chickpeas and shards of spicy crisps.

Start with

White Taramasalata with Homemade Bread

Critics consider this a 'strong contender' for the best in the city. It is 'reassuringly pale' and 'gently fishy,' served with 'thick, properly charred slabs' of bread dusted with oregano.

Start with

Saganaki Tapioca Bites

Universally praised across reviews; a masterclass in texture with sesame and thyme honey.

Start with

Kalamari & Grilled Lounza

Critics highlight the mezedakia here, specifically praising the 'freshly, crisply fried' kalamari and the grilled lounza (smoked fillet of pork) for its 'agreeable traces of the flavour of charcoal.'

Start with

Spicy Tiropita

This deconstructed cheese pie is served in a jar as a 'luscious pot' of spicy cheese and caramelised leeks with shards of filo pastry; critics note they could 'just feast' on this and the other dip jars.

Start with

Minced Lamb Kofte

Described by Jay Rayner as the 'stand-out item' of the meal, these are 'crisp-shelled' and 'bristling with fresh herbs.'

Start with

Lamb Kleftiko

Consistently praised as a standout for 'wholesome authentic Greek food' by local experts and restaurateurs for its reliable quality.

Start with

Andy’s Special Souvlaki

Tender lamb infused with a strong rosemary flavour and paired with charcoal-grilled vegetables that bring out their natural sweetness.
