We ordered pork and lamb souvlakis. They were awful, being virtually inedible.. I left half the lamb as it was so tough and rubbery that I could hardly cut it. I suspect it was a very old 'lamb' indeed. The pork was not much better. Oh well, the next time want Greek food we will have to go elsewhere. What a shame, as the ambience is good, although quite dated, and the octopus can sometimes be OK .

The bad first...rice and potatoes were pretty bland and not at all enjoyable, the pitas were tough as tree bark and tasted about as good. The random pieces of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot were flavourless. The good...the chicken tasted okay (just), the lamb chops were cooked nicely and were probably the best part of the meals. There was a large amount of food, too bad most of it ended up in the garbage.

We found the portions to be larger & better. More veggies & only a small portion of rice. Neither of us could finish our meals. read more We found the portions to be larger & better. More veggies & only a small portion of rice. Neither of us could finish our meals.
