I have no idea why this restaurant isn 't busy all day. The food is delicious, the prices are low, the service is good and the place is clean. I 've been here a handful of times over the past year and a half and have never had a poor meal. I can heartily recommend the mixed mezze platter for two to start it comes laden with hummus, tzatziki, falafel, some sort of samosa, an interesting beetroot dip and more besides. One of these, with a couple of additional hot mezze, can easily serve four as a starter. For a lunchtime or a smaller meal, there 's enough variety to make a whole meal from these starters (which is probably the intention). A lot of the hot food has been grilled over charcoal including the amazing halloumi so this lends them a delicious, aromatic smoky flavour. I can 't resist the lamb on the mains the kleftiko here is rich, tender and packed with flavour. On previous visits I 've enjoyed the guvec tender diced lamb in a thick tomato sauce cooked with aubergine and courgette and topped with a generous layer of melted cheese and the moussaka, and I 've never been disappointed. My less carnivorous other half is a fan of the chicken bosphorous chicken breast in a tomato sauce which comes with an amusing 'sail ' of charcoal grilled cured meat, but I have seen some of the selection of fish and vegetarian options being consumed on the other side of my table. They must have been good, as I remember not being allowed to try them. On my most recent visit, on a Sunday evening, there were six of us and we had starters, mains and two bottles of wine. The bill was £110. For six people. How come people aren 't queuing out of the door to take advantage of this?
