Terminus Road has always boasted good restaurants in Eastbourne. Ever since I was a teenager it was the place to find good restaurants. Now there is another to add to the list. We had passed by some time ago and decided we would try it one day. The sun was shining and the outside dining area looked great. However a large seagull was lurking on a table so we went inside. We were immediately greeted and seated at a table for two , the music was playing softly in the background, it was busy but not crowded. Just perfect . The waitress was lovely and took our order quickly . We did not order drinks but she delivered a tall carafe of cold water which she later replaced when empty without being prompted. We were told there would be a 25 minute wait for the platter but it was delivered within 15 minutes. It was delicious, two chicken kebabs, two Greek sausages, two other sausages , chips , dips and salad with pittas. The three dips were, paprika, a lovely sweet yellow mustard and zatziki. It was very tasty. We saw the Chef delivering the food , and what impressed me was that , he stopped to talk to some diners and he cleared empty plates from tables too. I like to eat, big portions and there was enough for me , even though I did have more chips than my wife. I have to add it would have been greedy to have eaten it all , so the waitress offered us a takeaway foil box . So to sum up quickly . It was a really great , ( get it ! ) experience. Lovely atmosphere, good home cooked food full of flavour , piping hot , in a family style restaurant, delivered in a timely fashion by efficient staff. I would recommend it to families and singles. Go on treat yourself , avoid others until you have tried it , please . You must try the lunch time menu its excellent. Add a bottle of Mythos and you're on a winner. By way of an update I've been back twice since then and Vas and Ame are still serving...
Read moreWhile I am not willing to give this rating, I am writing this review in the public interest in the hope that many people will not experience unpleasant feelings similar to mine. If you visit this restaurant, you may encounter an unimaginably unpleasant experience due to the staff's emotions, attitudes, or perceptions. I visited this restaurant after completing my master's degree in London and was on a week-long holiday with my husband in Eastbourne. There was a narrow two-seater in the middle of the hall where the staff invited us to sit, but I wanted to spend some more quality time with my husband and to sit in the cozy four-seater seat on the edge. However, the staff told me in a furious tone and expression that all the other seats were fully booked and that he should reserve the seats I wanted for the customers who walked in without reservations. Following an embarrassing and unpleasant encounter, my husband and I left because we no longer wanted to stay there. On my way back to the hotel after an intimate and nice dinner somewhere else, I had a chance to look inside this restaurant, and I noticed two people sitting in the exact seats I had requested but was denied, and all the seats in the hall were still empty. I feel NAUSEATED just imagining eating there. Suppose you want a tremendous Greek cuisine experience and a beautiful Instagram photo. In that case, I encourage you to visit a Greek restaurant just around the corner that is friendly, much more vibrant, more authentic and serves excellent taste. And I sincerely hope that your journey, which should be the happiest, will not be tainted by unpleasant...
Read moreTens! tens! tens across the board! 😍🙌
Came here for lunch & dinner (on separate days) and can genuinely say that this is one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. Every dish I had (as you can see from my photos, there were many!) was seasoned, cooked, and presented to perfection. It would be so hard for me to pick a favourite, honestly...but I would thoroughly recommend the octopus.
Service is impeccable too. My waitress, Amethyst, was so sweet & attentive. She asked me about my day and chatted to me on & off which was a nice change from wait staff that only see you as a table number and nothing more. I noticed the owner was also very present during each of my visits. Greeting guests, taking orders, chatting, saying goodbye. Just making sure that every aspect runs smoothly and reflects his high standards.
Atmosphere is such that you genuinely feel transported to Greece 🌊🍇🏛️🏝️🇬🇷 Music, decor, artwork, retail items.. Even the water is imported from Greece! You can tell they have made everything as authentic as can be, and it shows. Also there's both indoor & outdoor seating which is nice when you want to enjoy the sunshine ☀️ Can't wait to...
