I've been going there for years on an off. There are few true Cypriot places in this part of London, and this always had good Cypriot dishes, fair proportions and good service. The ghastly guitarist and his horrible singalng songs used to drive me mad, but there was a homely, quirky feel to it. I don't know if it has... More

No complaints about the food, which was tasty and decently portioned. The staff were friendly but could have been more attentive. There was entertainment in the form of a guitarist but sadly he was not particularly good and his music was more English than Greek, which took away from the ambience. They would have been better off leaving the Greek... More

The food was inedible, burnt chicken with blood in the centre, had an awful smell, so called souflaki, nothing like what it should have tasted like. We had a couple of uninvited guests... More

Located near Ealing Common tube, so easy to get to. This was for a celebratory night and boy was it a great choice. Very welcoming place and quite quirky with things hanging from the ceiling and a bit of a mish mash of items on walls etc. The toilets get a special mention and you may spend longer in there... More
