"Never disappointed when we have visited for lunch. The Mousakka is a homemade standoff, simply amazing. Larger portions than most light bites around the town centre. Accommodating to kids, although maybe not buggys due to space. Always full but someone is always leaving as we have entered #lucky Coffees are always piping hot and to barista specs. Definitely worth a regular visit and pleasantly situated in the middle of town. Not forgetting its also a local business too. Update: Have since popped in many times. Still always full of custom and the legendary Mousakka is generally available due to its popularity. My 11yr olds go to place to eat and celebrate. The panini 's in her own words are 'really delicious '."

Just moved to Bury and looking for a good café for coffee/lunch. I have been to Kottani a few times before when visiting as it's my kind of place! Good food, good coffee and good pastries. Perfect thank you!

A lovely little taste of Greece. Wonderful food and drinks! The atmosphere is just perfect and really feels like being in Greece, definitely worth the visit if you need a brief escape from your day to day life. Brilliant staff, really welcoming feel!

had an excellent lunch here yesterday packed with huh and feta accompanied by salat and hummus. very fast, friendly service and very good value. I would highly recommend that it is not open at night as we attend concerts in the Apex theatre and have a meal before the show.

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic Greek food! Spoilt for choice here. Highly recommend a meze plate (see pic of the menu below), the meatballs and the gigante beans are so good! They also have an array of Greek desserts and sweet pastries that are perfect with a coffee if your not looking for lunch. I will definitely be back next time I am in Bury St Edmunds.

During my stay in town, I tried a different coffee shop each day and this one quickly became my favorite. The coffee was excellent, and they offered a variety of delicious pastries in the perfect portion sizes. The bartender was incredibly friendly, not just to me but to all the patrons. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very inviting, cozy, and warm, and you could watch people passing by as you enjoyed your drink.

"Was excited to visit for the first time after seeing the award wins for best Mexican in the local news. Looking online the menu looked good so made a booking for 17:30 on a Thursday. On arrival we were seated quickly. The ambiance in the venue is very nice, with real lit candles on each table and twinkly lights up in the beams of the ceiling. I did need to move the candle to the side however as I couldn’t see my partner past it as it was in our eye line. The candle holder is also an old tequila bottle, which is a nice touch but takes a lot of space up on the table. On opening the menu, I noticed it was sticky. Which wasn’t the nicest. As the room is relatively dark I was unable to tell if this was old food or if they’d wiped the menu’s down, but it does make you a little wary. It took a while for the waitress assigned to our section to then come around to take our order. So we ordered drinks and our food at the same time. While waiting for the food to arrive my partner who has type one diabetes was trying to access the internet to look up carb info, unfortunately we noticed that we couldn’t get any signal so asked for the Wi-Fi code. We were brought around the password from the actual Wi-Fi router which contained password but it has been badly scratched so we couldn’t get it to work. Only a small thing to note should you need access to the internet at all during your visit. When the starters arrived I had the taquitos, pork. I have a gluten allergy and stipulated this when ordering but when the starters were brought out there was no indication on the plating that it was gluten free or any second mentioning from the waiting staff. Nether the less, they looked like corn being a yellow colour so proceeded to eat them, and I have to say they were delicious and I would have happily had a new more as a main course. The calamari my partner described as “umm, good, tasty”. Not long after we finished our starters the mains were brought out. I’m my opinion there wasn’t a big enough gap between the starter and the main. As soon as one plate was cleared, the next arrived. My partner ordered the prawn burrito and described it burrito as “Far too big, Far too cheesy, the prawns lacked something. Because it was so cheesy it was quite fatty and greasy and needed something to cut through it all.” He only ate half of it and on clearing the plates away we were offered to take it home but we declined, we made a point on the large portion and the waiter said “yeah, we feed a lot of Americans here”. My dads American and he wouldn’t have eaten the whole burrito. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The steak was cooked nicely but I found it quite tough. The chicken was over cooked and a little dry. However again the portion size was huge and I was unable to eat it all. There was also not enough room on the table for all of the bits, so I had to rest the foiled wraps on my leg. Again I ordered a gluten free option but there was no mention of this when it arrived and this time the wraps were a lighter whiter colour, which caused me concern. In the end I didn’t eat the wraps because they were the same colour as the burrito wrap and as no indication they were gluten free it caused me some anxiety. Getting attention if the waiting staff to double check was difficult so I just left them to the side and ate the meat veg on their own. The couple wraps I did eat I have to say we’re not the nicest. They were quite tough and at the same time tasted undercooked, like there was some raw taste to them. I wouldn’t order it again. Drink wise I ordered the pina colada and again probably wouldn’t order it again. Though there was nothing overly wrong with it, I’ve just had better. Overall, it was just over £60 for two starters, two mains and two alcoholic drinks. I don’t think that’s particularly bad value given the absolute huge portion sizes. It might be worth Amigos offering a small medium large option at different price points so those who don’t want giant burritos fajitas can get the smaller options at a lower value. Amigos might also end up taking more as there was no chance we’d have been able to eat a desert, however if the main had been more appropriately portioned then we likely would have had one. However, in terms of the allergens. It’s great that they offer gluten free alternatives, however please introduce a GF sticker for the plates or get waiting staff to say “Gluten free Fajitas” when serving. It just helps to eliminate any fear that there may have been a mistake in the kitchen and helps diners with allergies to relax and feel more comfortable. As things stand. We wouldn’t return for what we had above. However, there was a good atmosphere in there and I’d possibly return as a place to have a few drinks and share some nachos, just not for a sit down meal."
