The waitress told us they were fully booked and was quite rude. There were clearly lots of empty tables but she insisted. We walked away checked the booking system and there was availability.... So we booked and went back, the waitress was clearly annoyed. Not the best experience. Great food once we got in and great prices

The restaurant was quite busy ,when we arrived they had a stand in manager who didn’t seem to get the service right, and was really just wandering around or just sitting looking at the booking system, We had a 20 wait before we got to order any drinks order ,There was young man who was very helpful and apologised for the service and also explained that they were short staffed. He was the only member of the waiting staff that appeared to have any form of customer service . I do Think all staff should be speaking in English to each other, especially in front of house including the manager, but there was a lot of staff speaking in their own language to each other in front of customers.

Good selection of Greek food - definitely try the halloumi fries, they were like crinkle cut chips drizzled with a rosemary honey, delicious! Very good value with the offer from the Fork

Foods were better than I thought from a chain restaurant. Service was good until I have to remind them about the discount on foods on the final bill. Hence knocked a few points for the services.

Love this place, great place for a bit of Greek without breaking the bank. The Forks deal was also exceptional. Very happy and full bunny right now.

What you would expect from a chain, everything was good except the food was only average

The staff were very kind to give us a table, even though we were quite late for our reservation. The food was OK, but, unfortunately, they ran out of the Moussaka, which was disappointing, as that’s my favourite on the menu. We also had to wait more than we would’ve preferred to order food and then receive the bill. 6/10 overall

Service was slow to start but good once we had ordered. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Food was tasty but portions on the small side. Overall good value with 50% off the food.

Decently priced, even better with the discount. Good portion sizes and generally quite tasty, though some of us had mixed reviews on the halloumi (which I actually quite liked)

This is a chain of restaurants so my expectations were not very high - it lacked a personal feel that restaurants run uniquely run by individuals have. Portions are smaller than I am used to in family run Greek restaurants, but that may not be a bad thing if you are overweight. The Bulgar starter was not availabel but the waiter said they had modified the saffron rice dish by adding tomato - the result was no sign or taste of saffron and a rather bland result (not enough tomato to be called tomato rice). The Pork was excellent - crispy deep fried pieces with crackling. My wife's souvlaki was OK. The house red wine was too young and high in tannin - not very nice. Won't go there again, but stick to our local Cypriot places in North London.

The staff were welcoming Given the groupon offer to start which was wrong, the fries were sold out even after ordering and the Greek salad had no olives or red onion and was in a dish that had a residue of tomato sauce that the waitress tried to tell me was a recipe from Thessaloniki. Discount was applied but was still wrong. Overall experience was not what I was expecting from the “Real Greek” restaurant

The pork belly was really disappointing and lamb meatballs were burnt. The rice inside the vine leaves were also hard = undercooked rice. The Only positive was that the food was 50% and the waiters had a smile on their face
