"Business lunch for four, recommended by a colleague who loves the place.Location is great and the conservatory style dining area is really nice. Tables are well spaced out and the overall effect is really calm and peaceful.Only one other table being used, so the service was quick as you would expect. Bread and olives to share were delicious, really nice, mains ordered 2 tuna and 2 salads. The tuna steak was exceptional, beautifully cooked, delicious. Everyone in the group well satisfied with their food.They desserts were good, but not up to the standard of the starters. Decent priced bottle of wine, some coffees and everyone was happy.It’s a little lifeless, I’m sure some days it must be busier which would create more of a buzz. Prices aren’t bad, given it’s location, service and food are good. Would definitely go again, and just to make sure we do, the restaurant have a loyalty card scheme which we signed up to. Covers a few different restaurants (including Ginos and Piccolinos) and you get £20 for joining! Not bad"

"Bad food. Loooong wait both for drinks and food. Waiter (owner I was told) got 2 meals wrong. Brought calamari fritti for my husband and I which he never ordered in his life and I can 't stand them as they are like rubber in the UK so would never have ordered that. Waiter insisted I did, not once but 3x! My husband actually asked for whitebait! My husband ordered calf 's liver as a main which is soft and succulent in France, Germany and Greec etc. It was thin and like shoe leather. It is supposed to go into a hot pan, then turned over after a few seconds and taken out of pan served. This is what it should be like "A classic of British cooking, Calf 's Liver is succulently tender and fine grained with a deliciously mild, sweet flavour. More and more people are discovering the delicious flavour of Calf 's Liver due to its place on the menus.« I took it home to give to the dog and foxes!! My friend next to me (we were 13) ordered meatballs which were so salty she couldn 't eat them. Another lady didn 't like how the fish was done. It was mediocre. MY mussels had anorexia. I have photos. They were non existent or if there was one in the shell, it didn 't measure more than 5mm. 20 were empty and the sauce was not nice. Obvs they were not fresh mussels, they were cooked already and just heated up. Lots and lots of small broken shells in the sauce. Must have been the last dregs. Just as well I didn 't swallow one of the shards. Will I go back? No, I 'll go to a real Italian restaurant next time. Bragging about an Italian chef! He needs to go on a cookery course IN ITALY! I lived, ate and cooked there. I know what Italian food is supposed to taste like!!!!! And sooo expensive."

"Owners need to sort this out. The review is regarding the deli only. I have visited multiple times for drinks and snacks on the go. The drinks are good. But my goodness the customer service is appalling. The staff there are so rude, they need training in customer service. Every time you go in, when you order you feel an inconvenience, they talk amongst themselves even when they are serving you especially when one is sat at the counter eating her lunch of breakfast. there is no eye contact. No friendly good morning or thank you. Just that’s £4.10. Really unprofessional. They don't even take care to remember your order. My partner goes in there multiple times a week and they never remember her order. She orders the same thing at least twice a week. No care or attention.say what you like about Costa and the likes but they remember your order. If it carries on I’ll avoid completely. Lots of other locals have said similar. Shame."

"My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, thanks to the lovely waitress named Olesia. I was fascinated by the flowers in the Greek mountain teapot, and she made extra effort to find these tea flowers for me and even gave me some to take home. While I asked other waiters and waitresses about the flowers in the tea, Olesia was the only one who paid attention and provided exceptional customer service based on my interest. The food was deliciously prepared, and I highly recommend trying the taramasalata here as well!"

"I have to say, having now been back 2 3 times, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite spontaneous meet up for dinner locations in Soho. I 've been with a large group, I 've been with just a few other people, and each time the service is prompt and friendly. If you don 't book ahead you might have to wait just a bit, but they are surrounded by some cool shops in Kingly Court, so you won 't struggle to kill time. Whyte and Brown do, as they say, really lovely chicken . It 's usually a pretty good sign when a place chooses to do just a few things. This place does chicken souvlaki, paillard, roasted beer can....I 've tried them all and I 'm impressed! Chicken isn 't the most exciting main, but these guys prepare a perfectly moist and unfussy chicken. And, it doesn 't break the bank. It 's the sort of place you can bring anyone to there 's just enough things on the menu, and they offer wine, beer and cocktails. It 's a great choose your own adventure dinner option!"

"This was our first visit and both my wife and I agreed our expectations had been exceeded. There was plenty of space around our table so other conversations were not intrusive. The waitresses were very attentive and friendly so we immediately felt at ease. The menu was excellent with many tempting choices. The actual food was really well presented and the flavours were excellent. We both really enjoyed a relaxing evening with great food. We would definitely recommend and we will be booking again."

"This place is a bit of an institution in Cambridge. Situated at the heart of the old town, folklore has it that the university tried to close it down but the students managed to get them to overturn their decision. Surrounded by high profit-margin chains and exclusive boutiques, I could believe it. You can actually get *good* chips for less than two quid, which is a small miracle in itself. They will do you a chip butty (pita filled with chips and a good dollop of hummus on top) for not much more. It must be the student influence, but they do mention vegan options on the chalk board outside, and they do at least appear to know what a vegan is, which I'm always so grateful for! If you want to up the ante, you could go for the falafel or apparently the veggie burger is vegan (not 100% confirmed that yet though they have a rough and ready seating area upstairs and you can even get a sneaky glass of wine to go with your feast. Yep, they still predominantly serve animals, but, for Cambridge, this ain't too bad. Updated from previous review on 2017-07-28"

"When you don't know what or where to eat... follow your nose. That's how we finally have known this place. We didn't know which place to choose in the street plenty of restaurants and cafes, so, we select this one for the simple smell that was on the road. We weren't disappointed. What a delicious surprise of tastes and ingredients! From the first bite to the last one you will enjoy different meals so far from the classic pizza or burger. If you want to eat something else, and something really good, come and eat! I recommend it to you so much that it could be a part of a tourist guide."

"Why have they got rid of regular chips in the gyros??? They now use waffle fries. In a gyros!! Where in greece would you find that? It also means the waffle fries sit on top of the gyros and you cant bite into the meat and chip at the same time. It falls apart! Makes for a very messy and broken up gyros. Which is a shame as this has been my favourite gyros for years. BRING BACK CHIPS! Service: 1"

"I visited my elderly Mum today, she suggested going to the Derby Arms for a roast dinner as she'd eaten there recently with my sister. However they were fully booked, so I looked online and found Galu. The reviews were great and my Mum has only ever heard good things from friends and neighbours. So I called and booked for 12:45 Sunday 21st Jan 2024. We were both pleasantly surprised to see roast dinners on the menu ... Mum order lamb and I ordered beef part of their set menu. When the dinners arrived, you could see straight away that the lamb was Very Fatty (not even crispy) when my my tried eating it, it was both tough and chewy! As for the beef, this was cooked ok and edible, although I asked for the beef to be medium, but it was more well done. The waiter came over to ask if the meal was ok, I highlighted how the lamb was... the manager then came over and offered my Mum a slice of beef to compensate, bearing in mind she ordered lamb. Mum subsequently found that some of her roast potatoes were hard inside! I finished my meal, but could see Mum really didn't enjoy hers leaving a substantial amount on her plate, and having tried her lamb it really was inedible! We were then offered a full list of desserts rather than the set menu, having chocolate brownie and creme brûlée (both were gorgeous) When the bill arrived, I was hoping they would have somehow made amends, but alas no ... as Mum doesn't like to cause a fuss and it was her treat, I decided not to say anything, although the staff manager could tell we weren't happy. Having come from East Sussex for the day and regularly have great Sunday roasts in local pubs, I was hoping for something special in this restaurant, but sadly that wasn't the case. In fact it's probably one of the worst roast dinners I've had in a long time. I very much doubt we'll return ..."

"My partner and I tried this restaurant for the first time on Friday night. We were blown away by how wonderful it was. Jane, our server, was delightful. The food was simply amazing. I ordered the lamb with sweet potatoes, while my partner had the stuffed peppers. We were not disappointed at all - the food was incredibly tasty and bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were generous as well. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes from the menu. Thank you, Jane, for a lovely evening."

"I went to this takeaway late on a Monday night as they were closing. The tv's displaying the menus were flickering, difficult to read and eventually just crashed. I ordered a pork wrap without chips. It was wrapped up and I got halfway home before realising it had chips in it. The pork in my opinion was just small cubes of fat. No pork meat. It was cold, I only waited 5 minutes before taking a bite and then decided to put it in the bin. The staff I thought weren't very happy to serve me. I won't be visiting again."

"We decided last minute to go here whilst working in the area. So glad we did! Nice feel inside, good vibe and music and friendly team. I had the lamb, goats cheese and bacon marmalade burger; definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had, perfectly cooked and great flavours! My colleague had the dirty burger and thoroughly enjoyed that to. Definitely recommend!"

"Lovely decor, good service from our young waiter. The food was delicious, though there was one negative that took away a 5 star experience. We ordered from the record menu, 3 dishes each. We both received 2 dishes, with a wait of about 10 minutes for both souvlaki. On the plus side, my friend got a free Greek coffee as she hasn't had it before. Definitely worth a visit though"

"Had a lovely meal here the food was excellent and can thoroughly recommend the sea bass cooked to perfection. First time we had visited and certainly won’t be the last. The owners were delightful very friendly and warm. The staff were rushed off their feet as it was a busy night but the delay in getting food was very welcome as the portion sizes were extremely generous so we had no complaints with this as were not in any hurry."

"Managed to book a table for two last minute and now I understand why this place is so busy! Best meal out I have had in a long time. Food was perfect and incredibly priced, we had it with a bottle of Greek red wine which was perfect. Staff were friendly and attentive and helped me in my choice of food as I have a few allergies. Food came out incredibly quick. The lamb chops were to die for. Highly recommend and I hope to visit Andy's Taverna soon again."

"A two-course early starter menu for £12.95, I had the mixed souvlaki (three types of kebab cooked on an open grill) and full chargrilled fish of the day, a choice of salmon or Sea Bass I chose the latter as it's my favourite fish. It was cooked to perfection, To be totally honest I was surprised by the portion size which was a decent sufficiency, the chips that accompanied the meal were quite possibly the best I have had. The staff were friendly and welcoming which when you are a stranger in a city is always a bonus. 5* food at very reasonable prices you couldn't ask any more. I also like to inspect the as you can tell a lot about a place by checking them out, it they a spotless 99.9% of the time the rest of a place is, an in this case they were spotless"

"It didn’t hurt that the waiters were quite easy on the eyes; our waiter, Calum, was not only attractive but also truly exceptional. Now, let’s talk about the food. It was delicious! I highly recommend the chicken spring rolls, which were absolutely delightful and definitely some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The shrimp prawn crackers were also fantastic; I could have eaten more, to be honest. For my main dish, I opted for the sweet chicken with coconut, and I can’t complain about that choice either. The flavors were to die for. If I had to make one constructive critique, I would have liked a bit more coconut flavor in my rice. However, the rice was still pretty damn good. I will definitely be returning!"

"So a couple of weeks ago we ordered a takeaway from Piato restaurant in Baldock. 3 chicken souvlaki, 12.95 each, so 38.85 in total. One of the chicken meals was undercooked with pink/blood running through, so could not be eaten. All 3 meals came with a salad in a box and all 3 salads were brown . Andy called the manager and was very respectful and pointed out how surprised we were as we have eaten many times at Piato's and have never had a bad meal. The manager said he was sorry and he will cook the chicken longer next time and he insisted that the brown on the salad was due to the dressing that was put on the salad. He told Andy he was sorry and when we next order, he will do something for us to make amends. Today Andy called to order 3 more meals and was told we could have a 10% discount 3.80. Andy said that that offer was ridiculous as one whole meal last time was inedible, the manager would then only offer 15% 5.82. Off the order. Andy was told that they were not offering any more than that. So we cancelled the order and will never eat in Piato's again. What a joke and such a shame what poor customer service from what we thought was a quality restaurant. Check your chicken folks!!!"
