Alexandros Greek Restaurant

Apart from a bit of halloumi offered at BBQs in the past I hadn’t much sampled Greek cuisine so was especially looking forward to this meal for a friend’s birthday.
It’s run by a husband-​and-​wife team who clearly like to ensure their guests are all well taken care of during their meal, we felt very welcome and the service was excellent.
As we were a large group we decided it was easiest to order several ‘Meat Meze’ platters to share which turned into one of the most delicious banquets I’ve ever had. Oodles of houmous, tzatziki, warmed pitta breads, succulent pieces of pork, chicken and lamb, some giant looking baked bean things which were totally moreish, I tried everything and disliked nothing. It was hands down one of the top five meals I had in 2013.
Dimitri came out from the kitchen to chat to us after our meal and told us they source fresh local ingredients for their dishes and you could certainly tell this was the case from the tastiness of what we’d ordered.
If you’re ever in Northenden, dining at Alexandros is a must.
Tip: Expect to pay £16−19.50 for a Meat Meze and £15−18.50 for Vegetarian Meze (the portions are very generous!).

Amazing new (ish) Greek restaurant in the heart of Northenden. Me and my boyfriend went for our anniversary last year and it had just been open 6 weeks, it has taken off so much that you really have to book in advance now if you want to get a table and I’m not surprised the food is plentiful and delicious!
The chef who owns the biz is Greek and his wife is at the front of house, she’s very friendly and polite and can’t do enough to help with menu choices etc.
Chef also pops out to have a chat which is just lovely. We went for one of the Mezes in the end and had to take a doggy bag because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs! When we went a carafe of white wine imported from Greece was very reasonable price I think around £3.50/£4.00, it might have gone up now, who knows.
All I know is that I cannot wait to go back for more!
