Simply Greek — Restaurant in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

Very nicely greek restaurant. We went on a very hot day so the air-con wasn't working but by the time we left we were actually quite comfortable as the air-con had been fixed. We ordered a few items, mine was a Greek salad it was nice and cool but very disappointed in the size of the cucumber which was huge pieces of cucumber slice to be cut smaller.

The olive oil and balsamic vinegar was nearly empty, and so was the tomato sauce (ketchup).

I hoped that good service would make up for the small space this restaurant provides... unfortunately that does not seem to...
