If there’s one thing people thought London was missing it was a good Greek restaurant. While there are a number of Cypriot restaurants in London, Greek restaurants were not really popular till very recently.

You get everything from some amazing breakfast meals to some of the most traditional main courses that you can order for lunch or dinner. If you know your Greek food well, you will love the souvlaki that this restaurant serves up. It’s a budget restaurant where you can enjoy an amazing meal at an affordable price.
