Table ready, very welcoming atmosfere and food just divine as always. Don’t forget to ask for the dessert - sometimes they have amazing home made cake - last time I had a carrot cake. I was tempted to order the second slice.

Delicious food. Only thing is the meat could have come a bit quicker so we could have eaten it with all the bread and hummus we ordered! But appreciate everything is freshly cooked

Wonderful food, excellent service. First time visiting and will definitely be back. The restaurant is very unassuming and no frills but this adds to the charm. The Greek salad with feta was sooooo good. Cash only but there is a cash machine around the corner for anyone who forgets this.

Amazing as always, great food, great service and great atmosphere. My favourite Greek restaurant in London ! Payment is only cash, which can put off some people, but once you are aware of this, it's fine. Food and wine are amazing value, the 4 of us ate for about 100 quids, including a selection of starters, mains and 2 bottles of wine.

Great value, great quality food in a family run restaurant. The Meze set meal has very generous portions. The atmosphere is more relaxed and casual and it can get very noisy if there is a big party in.

This place was recommended by a work colleague,but it’s location down a backstreet and it’s outer appearance did put us off. Inside this very Small,quirky venue had very friendly staff,a buzzy atmosphere and okay food. Though the overpriced drinks(wine glasses required)and bread that should be included not charged as an extra! The 1 dingy Toilet was inadequate for the amount of customers and the place though trying to look rustic was nudging towards scruffy!!! A lick of paint inside and mainly outside would not go amiss. All in all it was okay,but would not return as many of my local restaurants do the same food better,cheaper and in far better surroundings.

Best food and amazing service. My favourite place. I discovered tsiakkos 8 years ago when I came back from a holiday in Greece. I never looked for another Greek in London, if you haven’t tried, give it a chance.

I love this restaurant. The food is great; sometimes a bit crowded, but the overall atmosphere is fantastic. If I remember correctly, it is cash only which is slightly inconvenient. Otherwise, a hidden gem!

We were a party of two and had the Meze platter (£25) each. It was sooooooooo much food. We were warned but we went for it. Food is yummy and well priced and staff are super friendly. You really do feel like you're entering some random person's house when you come in but the atmosphere is great. I think I will try the individual item menu's next time as I felt I didn't have enough room in my stomach for the key dishes that came at the end, which was a shame.

Food was below average, nothing similar to what you would eat in Greece or a proper Greek restaurant. Additionally, we were very cold and the decoration was horrible. Will never visit again.

The starters were good, although these trickled out and we had to remind them of one which took ages to appear and when it did it was a big disappointment. The beef was overcooked and tough. The chicken souvlaki was undercooked and the rice was over spiced in a way that detracted from the taste. Most of the waiting staff looked like they wanted to be somewhere else and seldom did they make eye contact. Table service was poor as were the toilet facilities. A towel is not a good substitute for paper towels. Paying the bill was a joke and we ended up taking it to the staff behind reception. It felt cheated having to pay for such sloppy service and they did not seem to care. I would not recommend eating here.
