"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."

"Really enjoyed everything about our visit to Andy's Taverna. The menu was authentic and extensive, and the welcome was friendly. Very impressed by the Greek wine list, around 17 bottles around £22, very reasonable for wine which is hard to find elsewhere in London. We noticed the portions could be quite large so had to hold back on ordering on this occasion, but what we had was delicious spanakopita to start, and then I had the kleftico (the lamb was so incredibly tender) and my dining partner had the mixed souvlaki moist chicken, very tasty lamb and pork, all served with a generous salad. We would definitely like to return, with a bigger appetite, to work through more of the menu!"

"The food was fine and everyone enjoyed it. The issue I had with place is that when ordering our meal we explained that one member of our party had a carrot allergy and can not eat anything that contains carrot or that has touch carrot. They said that the dish that they had ordered didn’t have any carrot in it. We emphasised that it would be a medical issue and could they make sure before they served the food. And guess what the dish turned up on a bed of coleslaw with carrot in it! They did rectify it but how stupid can you get"

"service was very helpful, but eating is too fast. So we got our flatbread, that was nice and warm but just over five minutes later, when we hadn't finished eating that our main course arrived. with the time I had completed the first course, my main course was cold. I was not impressed with the food quality. if they do not want you to eat at once (almost), then this restaurant is not for them!"

"I really enjoyed my meal here. I had the warm hummus I was a bit skeptical, but it was so delicious. My only criticism is that it would have to do with a flatbread. My friend had the vegan meatball kebab and also enjoyed his. I'll come back."

"Had a fab time at Ullysses on a Saturday evening. We were booked in for a 6.30 sitting. We got there and there was a wedding reception in full swing. Very refreshing to see something like this in a place like that. That spoke volumes to us to say that someone thought so highly of the place, that they chose to have their first meal as a married couple there with all their nearest and dearest. The food was exceptional. Could not fault it! I've had Greek plenty of times, home and abroad. This was up there with the best of them. Value for money was excellent, although we did think the drinks were a little pricey, but for the standard of the food, we didnt mind all that much. We sampled a cocktail each. The same cocktail but 2 very different tastes unfortunately. As for the restaurant itself, the staff were thoughtful, helpful and attentive. Our surroundings were pleasing and comfortable. Quite noisy and a couple of boisterous children, but they belonged to the wedding party. We didnt mind, as it was a one off. The music was fab too. When we visit Birmingham again, we will absolutely be returning to Ullysses. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend."

"The service at this restaurant was lacking, but the food was outstanding. We placed an order online for a mixed grill with house fries, a kebab with garlic sauce, and king prawns with rice. Unfortunately, the mixed grill was missing chips, the prawns didn't come with rice, and the kebab was sauce-less. When we called to address the issue, we were met with rudeness from a staff member who claimed we had ordered from the wrong menu. The manager eventually clarified the confusion caused by two different menus on Just Eat and their website, and offered a small gesture to apologize for the mistake. Despite the disappointing service, the food we did receive was exceptional. If they can improve their service and menu consistency, this restaurant has the potential to excel in terms of food quality."

"I was pleased with the extensive menu choices at the restaurant. I selected the Mousaka as my main course and enjoyed it. However, I would have preferred my dessert to be served at room temperature instead of straight out of the refrigerator. The staff was friendly and attentive, but I mentioned my feedback about the cold dessert and they took it onboard, even offering a suggestion for a different dessert next time."

"This is not a glamorous restaurant it is a small, family run affair, a bit too brightly lit and in need of a few decorative flourishes, but the reviews are so good because despite the less than perfect surrounding the food is genuinely outstanding....I have eaten a lot of Greek food in Athens and the Islands, have many Greek friends and have visited the country over times. This food is exactly like what I have eaten there and in my friends homes. Tasty, rich without being overbearing, comforting, not greasy and totally fresh: and perfectly cooked. It's also reasonably priced. In my opinion it is much better than many way more expensive and celebrated Greek restaurants that serve greasy and tasteless Greek specialities I took my partner and our two kids and they all loved it. We had perfect deep fried calamari that is possibly the best I've ever had thick rings, fresh and tasty, just the right amount of light batter not those stringy thin frozen things sold in most places; spanakopita (spinach and feta fried pies) that were the perfect consistency and ratio of cheese to spinach; taramasalata that was not too creamy (but perhaps could have had a bit more lemon) and then the mains! A delicious chicken souvlaki and whole seabass, both grilled perfectly plainly fresh as can be and delicately seasoned; and a vegetarian Moussaka that was so authentic it took me right back to Greece, again, avoiding the over-greasy bland offerings of so many Greek places light, fluffy and gorgeous. All in all the meal was excellent I took what we didn't eat home and we had a second dinner tonight and it was just as good second time. I highly recommend this restaurant and have only not given it stars because, quite easily, they could make some significant improvements to the interior (dim the lighting for one) and possibly improve the wine list a little. But for Greek food I now know where I am going, everytime. I should point out that this is the first time I've been moved to write a review.."

"Having booked a table for 3 a week before during the government eat out scheme, we arrived at the restaurant sharp 6.30 pm as per the booking. We were asked to wait outside and it had started raining.I was asked for the name and booking details. The staff brought the book and could not find our booking so went to ask the owner. The owner came with the book and told us someone called and cancelled our booking and she could not do anything about it. We tried to say why would we do that and she was not willing to listen. The restaurant may have cheekily cancelled our booking if they had shortage of tables. Never again shall we go there. Worst customer service.."

"We love visiting Zorbas, its a real taste of Greece for anyone hankering for a small reminder of those days sitting in a Taverna enjoying the food of that great country. Like all businesses, Zorbas has had to make some changes to survive the pandemic. They have changed the layout of the restaurant as well as a small part of the menu. Sadley, there was no live music when we visited, although the air was filled with a pleasant background of traditional Greek melodies. Our meal came out very quickly from our order, this was far faster than before. People in our party had meat balls, Saganaki cheese for starter. A couple of Lamb Kleftico's, Xirino Souvlaki and Kotopoulo Souvlaki followed as our main course. The standard was great, a fresh taste, akin to what I have had in the best of Tavena's in Rhodes, Zante, Athens etc. For us, the usual party feeling of live music was missing. Although, the staff said they hope to have a new Greek musician soon, so our next visit will see my wife getting up and dancing with the staff. We cannot recommend Zorba's enough. I find you need to book to avoid the disappointment of not getting a table,"

"our evaluation reflects an important thema we have experienced with eating. the beginning of the day dish (lemon sole) was served very underoccupied (e.g. at places). the chef had left the restaurant in the time, this became evident that the waiting staff to complete the cooking of the fish. they did their best, but it was burned on one side. when they had returned the court to our table, all the other members of the party had finished their meal. for a specialized fish restaurant to serve uncooked fish is unpredictable. we had also expected a warm welcome from the chef (owner) as the restaurant has its compact size and interactive culinary experience. the chef hasn't told anyone a word, even when he ran through the restaurant when he went early. there can be good reasons why this was the case, but no one has explained something to us. there was no desserts or coffee available and we left the feeling, the entire meal was an inconvenience for the owner. the waiting staff did their best and was certainly not to blame for what was a bad overall eating experience. a low price reduction was offered, but this was not a cheap meal."

"The dining experience and service were not quite up to the standards of my previous visits. However, Charis, our server, was exceptional. My only slight drawback was the noise from a clearly organized group in the adjacent room; we found it distracting to hear their conversations, readings, and singing. Perhaps it's worth considering renting that space next time for a more private experience. Other than that, everything else was amazing!"

"booked here for dinner and we sat upstairs. we asked how many beak plates we should order and 3-4 per person was the advice, we have ordered 3 plus zatar brot each. everything tasted amazing, but the tabouleh and iceless kookoo and the brokkoli were absolutely hanging out for me. the brot was also delicious. 3 records were for us definitiw enough. we had also mocktails that were nice. the staff was nice, especially when I killed my glass and broke it. oh, my God!"

"I waited in the waiting area for what felt like an eternity, and the service was incredibly disappointing. The staff asked me about the offer at least ten times, and they repeatedly requested my email confirmation—around eight times—before we were finally seated. When it came time to pay, I nearly told them I didn't care about it since I was already prepared to spend a good amount. Honestly, there was no sign of good customer service at all. We truly regret choosing this restaurant."

"There’s certainly no shortage of food outlets in Ocean Terminal, with the likes of Wagamama, Pizza Express and Franky Benny’s all taking up residence. On a recent visit, Mr. Nick’s seemed to be the only busy outlet, with only a couple of empty tables. We (the girlfriend and myself decided to try it out. We both went for the Chicken Gyros pita. It’s described on the menu as being wrapped with tomatoes, onion tzatziki and fries and was only £4.50. Who would have thought that including fries in a pita would be such a good idea? The meat to salad to fries ratio was spot on, and there was just enough of each to keep hunger at bay but not ruin my appetite for dinner later. The staff at Mr Nicks were both friendly and helpful, making it a delightful place to pop into for a spot of lunch. It’s perfect for grabbing a quick bite to eat while out shopping or grabbing some dinner before or after a visit to the cinema. Note: They don't offer alcoholic beverages (Sorry! I didn't get any pics during this visit. Read the full review here:"

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."
