    I visited last night for a takeaway, shout out to the guy behind the counter who was so lovely and patient with me- talking me through all of the Greek desserts. The food was really delicious and portions were massive. Nothing was scrimped on for example the fries with feta had a load of feta where as some other places they have a tiny amount. Food was fresh and hot. Great value for money. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again soon.

    Visited tonight on a hideously cold and wet Sunday to find a warm restaurant with friendly attentive staff .Drinks arrived quickly , to be followed by our food . Great humus starter with super warm pitta , closely followed by mains . Pork skewers were amazing , as were the chicken , super moist , and the salad and chips were equally wonderful . Health warning the portions are HUGE .Too full for desert but as we paid , were given a complementary baklava to take home , which was a lovely touch .Apologies for zero food photos , hadn’t eaten all day so we all got stuck in , but thoroughly recommend . Prices are spot on , and quality is fabulous .Another great independent Heaton restaurant worthy of a visit , we will be back !

    Although I would have given stars today , we were all disappointed. We asked for two portions with no chips and both came with chips and just a few pieces of gyros whilst salad was half of the container ...I noticed that in another review , the owner said in another review , that the portion contains gr. of pork gyros , however , ours were gr. and gr. on each portion , I included a picture of the biggest portion ...Pork skewers were not cooked properly .. what a shame after over a year of good food and experience to see cutting corners ..it was busy , but this doesn’t justify the service and quality for £. bill
