It makes you fall in love with greek cuisine, and why didn’t I go to this place earlier? It took me a year to get here. So, if you are nearby, you must visit this place

Chicken Gyro Wrap with Tyrokfteri (spicy sauce) - £7.80 - rating 9/10 Chicken pie with 4 kinds of cheese - £3.30 rating 8/10 Ferro Rocher Mouse Cake - £4.80 - 8.5/10

Following my visit to this place, I have decided to visit this place every month or whenever I can.

The outstanding element of my visit was the customer service, and it made me think every restaurant should learn from these individuals.

The food was amazing, as I expected, the place was packed, and the smell of fresh pastries/ food makes you stay there. Please note that there is limited space for eating in, but the shop was busy even people are happy to get a takeaway from this place.

There is a price difference between ordering food from the app. I would highly recommend visiting this place.

Chicken Gyro Wrap

The gyro wrap was the highlight, with chips, and the meat was juicy and tender. The sauce complimented the wrap well, and it was a decent portion too.

Chicken pie with 4 kinds of cheese

The pastry was well cooked, and as I ate it, I could taste cheese with various tastes inside my mouth. It was savoury and cheesy, but not as much as I expected. I think I will try another pastry next time.

Ferro Rocher Mouse Cake

It just cut through and melted perfectly. The amount of sugar was so balanced and made me eat more and more even...

From my Good Food 2025 vote:

Anasma in N-U-L is not only an institution in its community, but a sacred place amongst patrons. Their tranquil balance of knowledge and care is a testament to the forces that continue to transform our discarded market towns into fruitful, multicultural tapestries. Amidst no other establishment, near or far, have I ever tuned into more diverse languages, curious enquiries, first names greetings and mispronunciations. I cannot speak with any overt qualification on the standard of food and drink, however, I write from inside the cafe resisting the ever present urge to (for the 4th time in 6 days) splurge on what I would consider the freshest and most naturally addictive delicacies available. I would recommend sampling greek coffee, Saganaki, tahini wafers and of course the pies! The best analogy I can provide likens Anasma to a drop of water, quenching an arid plain, attracting life from all directions who have persevered thirstily through dormant flavours and lifeless queues of stale pastries into a bright and inviting, all the while rather unassuming salvation. Sat facing the street in the company of my new friends and enjoying the steady flow of people both investigative and familiar, with a steady flow of remarkable food and coffee, is the type of morning that makes hard work worth it wherever you are from - and there is no better projection of this idea than amidst the warm welcome of...

Myself and 2 daughters decided to stop for a quick bite. On entering and sitting down we were given menus quickly. We were all at various degrees of hunger, myself deciding to have the “small dish” of cheese croquettes, 1 daughter had fries with Halloumi and 1 decided on chicken souvlaki. I was very surprised on seeing the croquettes as there were 5 and quite large in size. They didn’t come with any garnish i.e leaves/herbs etc and looked really unappetising. I had one bite and that was enough…the breadcrumb coating was quite oily and had a very odd taste and the cheese filling was equally dismal and tasteless with a very artificial consistency. My daughter’s said that the fries had an odd taste, similar to the croquettes and we thought it might well be the oil they were fried in. The chicken souvlaki however went down ok. Overall not a place I...
