We visit once a year when we stay over before our flight from Manchester airport. The food was outstanding as always. We had a Greek salad to share between two with pitta bread. I had Stifado with rice and my husband had pork souvlaki with chips and salad. Huge portions and plenty of flavour.

We went to this beautiful taverna to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday with family, as they were recommended to us by our grandparents who enjoyed a meal a few weeks earlier. We LOVE Greek food, and this place did not disappoint - it was the most authentic Greek we have had in the UK… and we can’t wait to go back! We had the lamb kleftiko, moussaka, seafood linguine, plus lots of delicious starters and we didn’t want it to end! The restaurant itself is lovely too. We can’t wait to eat here again!

Served by a very attentive and pleasant gentleman 'Richard', couldnt do enough for us. Food was exceptional, both our meals were excellent. Very inviting restaurant and the staff were all very pleasant. Other than eating in Greece, this was the best Greek Restaurant weve been to in the UK. Would highly recommend.

Food is exceptional, friendly staff and lovely ambience on restaurant. Only very small criticism is both times I've asked for a glass of wine with ice and both times they forgot the ice and I had to ask again but other than that it's a lovely restaurant and beautiful food x

We really enjoyed the Greek night for a family birthday celebration and staff were very accommodating for our baby. Drinks were slow to come initially but lots of people seemed to arrive at 7.30 when we did and there was only one person working the bar ( difficult when cocktails are ordered) so perhaps that's why. Food was delicious but our dip selection came without pitta and we had to wait a long time for it to arrive ( we had finished our starters) despite asking twice for it. Apparently it had gone to another table.

Lovely time had, but only one person waiting on for the whole restaurant, he was very good at he's job and worked very hard .but meant having to wait for assistance. We were a larger group and my meal was very dry moussaka, I was putting it down to being kept warm till all the orders were ready to go out . It had been my mother birthday and you made a lovely gesture of a birthday cake and singing happy birthday which made our event special . We would come again lovely time had many thanks

Couldn’t fault anything really. It was shame that there were no more people in apart from us and another table probably because it was a Monday evening. One of my friends was a bit disappointed that she couldn’t have a cocktail though but apart from that it was very good

2 vegetarians and 2 meat eaters. We all thought the food was fabulous. So much choice and good size portions. The ambiance and the service were first class. Our server Richard was one of the best. He was the perfect level of friendly and his knowledge of the menu was so refreshing. He made excellent recommendations and checked in on us. The shots at the were a lovely touch too. Can’t wait to go back.

A very pleasant evening meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. The menu caters for a variety of dietary needs which in my instance is for gluten free food. My main was sea bass fillets which were very tasty and worth every penny. The restaurant still had a lovely atmosphere even though they are currently having an extension built at the front to increase capacity. The extension work has been arranged as to not impact on their customers but will be a lovely addition for the summer months especially. We will be back

Food was lovely, but in other Greek restaurants I’ve visited, you had a choice of chips, rice or salad with a main course like gyros. It was just chips, portions were very generous so overal great evening
Business Response:
Hi Wilma and thank you for your feedback! We offer a choice of the sides on main classic dishes, but if you would have asked for rice or salad instead with your gyro platte, we could do with pleasure! Every customer has to enjoy their experience when visiting our restaurant, so please next time ask the server if any changes are needed, and they will be more than happy to help

Overall this was a nice restaurant with very friendly staff. The food is good although for me, over salted. I would say that the table for 4 we seated at was a little cramped. Finally, I always disilke my hot meal served on a stone cold plate. No real excuse for this, but it is often the case in other restaurants too. These are small criticisms that shouldn't deflect too much from what was a really enjoyable dining experience with pretty tasty food cooked well. Hopefully, these small points will be taken as a positive for future improvement.

visited 1 week after refurbishing reopening, in the afternoon just before the England final so not many people in. Food was lovely, service friendly and attentive, refurbishment very nice, cloakrooms spotless. Only concern is no handrail down the steep stairs (there is a downstairs cloakroom). will be going again

Decor is lovely, food was ok, not enough salad on there, we had a mixed plate of skewers with chips. Paid the bill with cash and expected £15 change but before they brought the change we were asked " do you want all of your change back?"
