Stopping in headington for lunch, as always Greek food is high on my list to try so we stopped here at acropolis for quick bite. Ordered off a lunch menu which had a good selection of starters and mains to choose from, £5 for any starter on the list and £10 for any main also on the list. Went for a chicken souvlaki with rice. Portion size was ok not huge or small, the chicken had a nice char flavour with decent seasoning throughout, juicy chicken succulent and holding the flavour especially when squeezing fresh lemon over it. Came with a portion of rice with peas and carrots mixed in, pretty much what you expect, maybe reheated? It wasent bad but it was bland and standard. Had a garlic sauce on the side which was very nice creamy and garlicy! I would say for £10 I would liked maybe a side salad aswell as rice, or some bread too. Dish felt like it was missing somthing, maybe it was that. Overall I would rate it 7.5/10 - potentially like to try their evening menu and get a full vibe from the spot, as I’m sure it has some hidden gems on the menu!

came to celebrate my boyfriends birthday meal here recently and would rate our overall experience a 3. food was very plain and both mains felt as though they were missing something? it’s as though the meat had been just grilled with no seasoning or any kind of marinate which the menu had promised. salads looked as though they had been out of a pre mix salad bag and not the traditional greek salad we had been expecting from a “greek” restaurant. halloumi was yummy but not for nearly £8. also worth mentioning their soft drinks are not branded coke or diet coke and felt a bit ripped off paying £3.50 for some own brand flat syrupy sugary cola. we waited 20mins for our plates to be cleared and a further 20mins to pay the bill. we were going to stay for dessert but decided to go elsewhere.

Being from Greece, you wouldn't find many quality Greek restaurant like this one. Since its very difficult for me to go back home, I come here regularly as the food is extraordinarily delicious. Its authentic and full of flavours that takes me back to Greece. Range of amazing drinks and deserts priced reasonably that went with my food. The atmosphere is a WOW. The moment you walk into the restaurant you feel like your in Greece, with amazing pictures on the wall, a very large fish tank with beautiful fishes, amazing décor and setting. My favourite is the mini museum with Greek statutes. I recommend this restaurant to anyone, its a shame some people are negative about the food, which shows there lack of experience of the food and culture.

As a Greek living in the UK the last 4 years (London, Glasgow and Oxford) I can say this is one of the best UK Greek Taverns. The food is lovely, cooked by Greek cooks and made me feel I am back in Greece. The service is excellent, all the people friendly and nice and the owner great. Glad to have found this restaurant. Will definitely be back there really soon! I definitely recommend it to Greeks and non Greeks. PS. The prices are very reasonable and they also serve the lovely "AΛΦΑ" beer!!!
