The starters were just warm and the plates were too small. The mains were rushed and also only warm, with a bland taste. Overall, we were not happy with the quality of the food and would not recommend this place.

The restaurant has declined in quality, the food was better in the past. However, the atmosphere is still enjoyable and it is a great spot for hosting a party. read more The restaurant has declined in quality, the food was better in the past.

They also have a great selection of wines, or you can enjoy a glass of Mythos, a delicious Greek beer. This family-owned restaurant provides excellent and friendly service. Conveniently located just a short drive from downtown Coventry, parking is easy to find.

Onto the food; the portions were not generous, starters were served on a plate of a size most resturants use for bringing the bill and a few mints. My Kleftico was well cooked and the meat fell off the bone, but it was too bland. I 've had much better in pub restaurants. It was 'garnished ' with half a plate of shredded lettuce which ending up swimming in the graby. The Moussaka was poor. There were three Rose wines on the menu but they had no stock of any of them. We were offered a bottle of Blossom Hill, probably straight out of Tesco. I ordered a J2O to drink, was given a choice of four flavours but the one I chose arrived as something different.The live music was probably a little too loud.The one saving grace for the evening was our hysterically funny waiter, who wouldn 't have been out of place in Fawlty Towers. I think he was new and his antics weren 't deliberate, he was so charmless and inept it was funny. Completely untrained I think.Finally the bill. We asked three times for it and waited 15 minutes before we got fed up and walked up to the desk to pay. They seemed to have trouble making the bills up yet the place wasn 't exactly busy for a Saturday evening.Not one to revisit.

Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but they are so friendly to our kids (and in Coventry that can be a real problem in some places). We love the atmosphere and think the family are a really great bunch. Best Greek food in the UK.
