This restaurant had been on my list for quite some time, and since it’s almost impossible to get a table, I was especially excited to finally try it. I had mentioned in advance that my friend was eight months pregnant, so I was slightly concerned about the seating, and unfortunately, even I didn’t find the high chairs particularly comfortable. We did, however, get amazing seats overlooking the kitchen, which was fun to watch. That said, on a 35-degree day, sitting right by the open kitchen became extremely hot and sweaty, and we ended up eating quicker and leaving sooner than planned. It’s probably not the most comfortable spot during summer. The staff, however, were outstanding, attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. They guided us through the menu beautifully, although I would say they encouraged us to order more than I personally think was necessary, especially considering how rich the dishes are. We started with the spicy feta dip, hummus, borani and with two flatbreads. Every single dish was packed with flavour, beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. The carbonara flatbread was another standout, rich, indulgent, and honestly something I could happily eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The chicken thigh was perfectly cooked: juicy, full of flavour, and simply excellent. The fava was slightly underwhelming for our taste, although that likely comes down to personal preference. We then shared the lamb souvla as a main, which ended up being far too much food. I also felt the dish was missing a bit of freshness, perhaps a simple salad alongside it would have balanced everything nicely. Overall, it was still a really great dining experience. I would happily return, everything else was top-notch.

The foood was absolutely good. The chicken thighs were a must try as they packed in a bunch of flavours and extremely juicy. The onions and the pita bread were also a must recommend along with their dips. The lamb was just alright. The host was absolutely fantastic who helped us with selections and portion size and they did also help us to accomodate with the older people in our group. Will definitely visit this place in Borough market again. Definitely will visit this place again.

After waiting in line for about an hour, we were seated in the area overlooking the open kitchen, which added to the experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and informative throughout. The food was simple in concept but executed beautifully, with excellent flavours. I particularly loved the Fried Feta and the Soy Mushrooms, both of which were outstanding. The bread was also exceptional and clearly made with great care. To accompany the meal, I tried the Kiwi Sour cocktail, which was well-balanced and refreshing. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience that was definitely worth the wait.

This is a great spot. Although they advertise walk-ins, the place was almost fully crowded at lunchtime on a weekday. We managed to find a table though for 2. The highlight of this place is grilled meat. Both the pork souvlaki, grilled thighs and saddleback porchetta were incredible - tender, juicy and flavourful. The wildflamed flatbread was just okay but nothing more. The spicy feta, roasted peppers and pickled red chili spread was fairly good. Chard borani and crispy garlic spread was even better. The plum + mezcal margarita cocktail was also just amazing. The service and the atmosphere were really good. I definitely recommend sitting at the top (ground floor) rather than the basement. I want to be back, this is a great small plates spot
