On first impressions I was underwhelmed. The interior is simple, like that of an Aegean coastal village, washed blue woodwork, white tiles and simple wooden tables and chairs. Not particularly loving the fake vines and flowers on the ceiling. That added nothing to the ambiance except looking cheap and gathering dust. The restaurant was a lot smaller than expected, but cosy. Authentic greek music playing in the background,but not too loud, making the atmosphere feel very relaxed and comfortable. Clientele were a mixture of cultures including Greek or Cypriot, which is usually a good indication of the quality and authenticity of the food. Service was attentive and tables were sanitised before being seated. Hand sanitizer also available on each table and strictly table service, which most of us prefer. Going forward I hope this remains. The menu isn't crowded, cold meze dishes and hot meze dishes, should you wish to pick and mix as a party. Plus meals from the grill which consist of Gyros,Koftas, Sausage and cutlets. There is a specials board with traditional Greek dishes, such as moussaka. I opted for the Chicken Platter and a Greek salad . If eating a meze the dishes are brought out in order of preparation, cold first. This is a traditional way to dine. Greek wines and desserts are also available. The platter was a sight to behold, in hindsight I shouldn't have ordered the Greek salad as there was plenty on the platter. The chicken was delicious, shredded and very tasty. The food was very fresh and simply seasoned. This however was very clever as it complimented the freshness of the salad. Sliced pitta, skin on fries and homemade tsatziki dip also included on the platter. I definitely couldn't finish it all. My only criticism is that I would have liked to see Greek rice as an option, homemade flatbread and there was an overkill of green peppers in the salad. Overall it was a pleasure to visit with a hipster vibe. Ample parking on the avenue at the front. I would definitely recommend. The most popular dish appears to be the Gyros. Go...
Read moreWe visited this restaurant as a family of 15 for Father's Day we had reserved our tables previously. On arrival all the staff were friendly and efficient. We explained we were early as we had travelled from Newcastle to meet family here so could we wait and have a drink til the rest of the family arrive which was no problem at all to the staff and promptly got us a table even though they were extremely busy with customers.
The drinks were a little expensive at a small bottle of mythos greek lager at £4. Peroni/Italian lager was on draught however so that was a bonus. Wine was a little pricey too. The food prices however were very reasonable.
Babis introduced himself and was friendly and built excellent rapport about Greece and his time spent studying in Newcastle which was nice whilst we waited for the rest of the family to turn up for the meal.
When the family arrived the service was on point from the start with drinks and meals being ordered and delivered within a reasonable time frame all drinks were served at the correct temperature and the food was outstanding and well presented.
All staff were efficient and friendly throughout our visit.
I will definitely recommend and return to this restaurant next time we are in Hull from Newcastle with all our family.
Thank you to Babis and all his fantastic staff and chefs for an amazing meal and great time in your friendly welcoming greek restaurant. It was just like being in Greece with the atmosphere, decor and music...it was spot on.
Look forward to seeing you all again...
Read moreWell popped in her to see how it was with the wife at 4pm ish yesterday (friday) so it was quiet. Baby's? Or Harry I think he called himself, the manager, Greater us with a warm welcome into the cosy and spacious restaurant. Inside is lovely, decorated with flowers and plants giving a warm interior. There is a secluded booth for larger groups, we sat by a radiator as it was cold out. I ordered a Mythos beer and wife had a lovely lemon drink Loux I think. Not sour or sharp nor sweet or tasting of saccharine. So, food wise, we ordered calamari, tirokafteri, spanakopita, dollars and Olive bread made that day. I have to say the food was so fresh and the hot starters exactly that. The manager did a quick check back, not in our face or hanging around but polite and brought extra lemon wedges. The food was full of flavour, beautifully cooked and not heavy on the chilli in the dish with them. We took our time then had a pork and chicken gyros (no photos of these as huge and tbh the best I've had). The thyme/salt coated chips were superb. Nothing was greasy or overloaded in oil. All that food plus 2 beers and a softie for 42 quid, money we'll spent in this Greek family run restaurant. They do takeout too. Toilets were spotless. Fantastic and well worth visiting. I'd suggest booking as doesn't have loads of tables. We will be...
