Editorial Review

The food served in this unassuming room is of a surprisingly high quality. Flawless spanakopita wraps flavourful spinach and feta in crisp phyllo. Tender squid is tossed with garlic and mushrooms in a fresh-tasting tomato sauce spiked with chili and oregano, and finished with feta and white wine. The authentically Greek texture of tirokafteri (mashed feta and hot banana peppers) will please Hellenophiles, as will a skewer of juicy little shrimp barely charred from the grill. Such careful timing is missing from a stodgy moussaka, its potato base undercooked, its béchamel cap stiff. Token wines; cheerful service.
