"The Norfolk Arms, close to Euston station(ISH). Quiet and considered, a pub focusing on wines (sherries included) as much, or more than beers. Still, a variety of keg and a couple of casks on offer. Sweet people behind the bar, a smile always offered. An honest effort to accommodate me. Perhaps more a wine bar/restaurant in a traditional pub building. I am easily confused."

"Warm-hearted service, modern fairly informal decor, range of meze dishes which were easy to share. Food was a little too mildly flavoured and presentation lacked finesse or garnish. I would have preferred food with a stronger commitment to flavour and more contrasting colours and textures. The cutlery seemed to have a life of it's own as did the little pot of salt which was easily knocked over. To summarise, I and my friend had a relaxed and pleasant meal, but was a bit disappointed with the food, and therefore also, the value for money."

"impresses with their eating, great quality of food, many vegetarian decisions. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. the menu is good for vegetarian. id recommend her salate, which was very well prepared. also their soulva pits are very full. the Sharing tablets are also very good, not huge portions, but a good teaser for taste buds. the hotel is located in a light walking distance from aldgate or liverpool station. they have both external and internal seats. I would be happy to visit her again."

"We’ve eaten there now in past 2 weeks. Lovely food and staff. Only concern both times was the awful draft that the restaurant experiences because of layout and the large entrance door. Both times we’ve left feeling super cold. It’s lovely in the summer but we eat there with some trepidation in the winter. Can something be done to heat the place up more?? Hope so!! The only fault we could find . What we love: the wines, the fresh vine tomatoes, the lovely friendly service, and the food never disappoints from mezze nibbles and pittas to the meat to the desserts..."

"authentic Greek pork and chicken gyros, huge portions, tasty house made starter and salad. I had the mixed dives with picturesque and mixed circles and I enjoyed every bite. mousakas was also very tasty and fresh. the most friendly and friendly owners and employees and a pleasant environment. beautiful selection of desert and coffee to enjoy either in or away and I especially like the small corner business with the Greek products. well done Greek village, we become family members!"

"Just a little disclaimer: the following review is not an angry customer's rage: the food was genuinely BAD. Sometimes I simply don't understand Zomato ratings or can hardly relate to them: The Life Goddess looks incredibly attractive and cozy, and the rating of 3.9 sounds very encouraging however the food in this supposedly Greek food haven is just beyond terrible. My colleagues and I visited the cafe yesterday afternoon: we came for teas, cakes, and a bit of wifi and were so encouraged that went back for lunch today: well, it would've been much better just to stick to our original menu of coffee and emails, and ignore the food all together. The okra dish I had was simply dull and...read more"

"Had heard mixed reviews from friends but really loved the menu so decided to go. The food is excellent, got a table which was a little cramped but the service was excellent. Lots of options to choose from, opted for 3 dishes each but the gyros was an overstep, was too greedy : Everything else was great, the deep fried feta with mango chilli (I think I've got that right was immense, everything else was delicious. Great and very attentive service and very good value. Would probably prefer some other beers to choose from but the cocktails were excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to go back."

"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.."

"Wanted to try @halloumiglasgow for a while now, now we know it’s a greek wanna be and fancy wanna be place. Drink was fine but £8 for a mix of juice as chose to make it a mocktail while the £8 was supposedly for two shots alcohol and three juices so no reduction that they didn’t put in the alcohol. Then less than a can of Pepsi was about £2.60. The food a gyros and the spinach pie there, took 3 minutes to arrive, warm ish, obviously frozen and so long kept frozen that it lost its taste. Chicken in gyros just a few bites. Portions are starter size, although called mains and a wee bit of food is about £7 £8 £11. Couldn’t say we’ll go back anytime soon, even though the staff were nice and the disappointments not their fault whatsoever. Chairs outside and table wasn’t too clean either, wouldn’t like that without a pandemic going on let alone trust the cleaning in the current situation"

"I revisited the restaurant after having a great dinner for the first time. it is a permanent restaurant, with delicious Greek taste. I would recomend the kleftiko and the mixed grill from the menu very well! the service is really good and eating is always served on time."

"The most delicious meal I've had for a really long time. Booked this last minute slightly on a whim because not our usual cuisine. The chicken souvlakia was absolutely unreal. The chicken was thick, incredibly moist and the flavour was absolutely delicious. We had a mese mix of smaller plates, about 5 or 6 and that was perfect for 2 people. The pita breads were warm and the dips were so tasty. We also had chicken wings which had so much flavour and crispy just in the right places. The pudding was a malt chocolate slice and again, delicious. This was slightly on the pricier side, but for me, absolutely worth it. Whilst the dishes were very simple, the attention to detail and the amount of flavour was so fleshing.The interior was full of love and attention, with pretty plants and artifical vines on the beams. The host was very friendly and the overall experience was just so nice. Highly recommend."

"Food was decent as usual) but the service left a lot to be desired. The wrong food was brought out on one occasion and then added to the bill even though no one had ordered it). One item was unavailable which meant two of our party had to reorder. Another item a very simple one) the trilogy was brought out after everyone else had been served. We then had to send the bill back three times as it was incorrect. Our waiters/waitresses were all very apologetic but it was overall a poor dining experience that spoilt a welcome lunch for a new member of our team. We have visited The Life Goddess a number of times for team lunches and never a had problem previously. Sadly, I don 't think we 'll be coming back in a hurry which is a real shame :"

"The positives. I was well greeted to take up my reservation and placed at a table for 2. Menu was varied . Restaurant clean. Lovely live music. Negatives. Restaurant was quiet with only 1 other table occupied. To our surprise, after placing our food order we were asked to move for a large booking, even though there were other areas that could be used. Turned out the large booking was for 8 who had just booked and could have been positioned without interfering with me. Secondly, our drinks order did not arrive promptly and when chased were told that they were waiting to give is with our main course! The final big issue here was they had the cheek to slip 2 extra drinks on to our bill. Would I go back or recommend the restaurant, no way Jose."
