Gadgetgem took me here for dinner and I have to say the meal was superb. I cannot believe that this place is so close to Shepherds Bush and no-one knows about it. It’s a real hidden gem. The food was great the lamb(main) was the best I have ever had it just fell off of the bone, the squid(starter) was cooked well not rubbery or undercooked although I was really not keen on the desert. It really wasn’t to my taste. I even liked the house wine it was ‘unusual’ but lovely. Prices were very reasonable(we got the set menu option). However, the restaurant itself isn’t much to look at it’s very dated, quite small, and we were the only people there. However the staff were very friendly and we had a lovely meal and time.

Amazing Greek food in a small intimate atmosphere. I recommend having the set menu, the first visit I had the Kalamarikia, Kleftiko and this lovely semolina based dessert. The second visit I had dips and stifado. All the dishes were delicious and reminded me of being in Greece. I’ll definitely be back for another visit.

I’ve always been wondering about this place which is placed in a small row of shops just off the monstrous roundabout linking Holland Park and Shepherds Bush/Westfields. So far, the Indian restaurant next door has always won. And after reading an article in the local paper will continue to do so. The images of dirty dishes and floors were enough to put me off.

After running around Hyde Park with a Labrador for two hours, playing ‘throw the stick into the bushes’, one can imagine your appetite would be as voracious as a dog’s need for a juicy bone! So off I chumped to the nearest wholesome restaurant I could find which would fill me to the brim, so I landed here in West London’s leafy suburb. In Greek, kleftiko means stolen meat. According to legend, this dish would be made with a lamb stolen from a flock as it grazed on a hillside. The thief would cook the meat over many hours in a hole in the ground, sealed with mud so that no steam could escape to give him away. Nowadays, the lamb is sealed inside a paper package, which keeps the meat moist and traps its fragrant juices. If this recipe whets your appetite for a true Hellenic delicacy, you could do far worse than check out this delicious and modestly priced eaterie. Leave the dog outside though :-)
