We got the chicken gyro platters and the food was so good and very plentiful! We also got dolmas and cheese croquettes. Both were yummy, but the dolmas and taziki were some of the best I've had! Would recommend!

The only Greek ran by Greek people in town. Food is fantastic, price is fair, service is great. Place is small but cozy.

Just like being back home in Greece! Food is fantastic! Pita gyros wrap was proper size and well cooked. The gyros platter was excellent and included a side of ‘toursi’ (lightly fermented cabbage and carrot) which was super yummy. And we had Loux fizzy orange (Greek Fanta, only better!). Well done to my new friends from Larisa, Thessaloniki and Athens. We’ll definitely go there again!

Me and my partner went in this evening and grabbed some meals for ourselves and my parents. I’ve been bought this by some Greek friends before and have been thinking about it for ages. And yet again I am not disappointed. It’s great to watch the guys preparing all the fresh food right in front of you. I wasn’t aware you could dine in! But now I know I’d be inclined to come and dine in too! The atmosphere is great the guys here are super friendly and the FOOD more importantly is bloody brilliant. 11/10. Will be back again soon I’m sure
