"Booked this place last minute and went purely on the ratings. Lovely location especially at this time of you at when Kingly Court is a sparkly Christmas haven tucked away from the madness that is Regent Street . Ordered cheese board and an aubergine dish for starter aubergine served cold and underseasoned and had to ask for bread to accompany. Mains were a complete let down, apart from the fish pot which was a reasonable portion. The chickpea dish was priced as a main and the description would've suggested a gravy of some sort. Instesd, we were presented with a terracotta tapas style dish, with lukewarm chickpeas in a clear broth (brine from the can? , with no flavour or texture aside from that of cold, undercooked tinned chickpeas to write home about. Equally disappointing was the goat dish, which tasted as though it had been boiled in salt water and lacked any seasoning or flavour of any description. It was also rather dry; not falling off the bone softness we were hoping for. In summary, a strange name for a restaurant, pretty terrible food, pricey house wine...nice interior and location."

It felt just like being in Greece! We enjoyed some ouzo, cocktails, and octopus, along with a selection of small plates. The atmosphere was wonderful and relaxed.

Nice restaurant, great food, good cocktails. Although at 6.30pm it was very quiet. It definately isn't a cheap meal, but the food was cooked perfectly and presented well.

Good, friendly service, especially at the bar. Unfortunately the food does not match the price you pay. The Greek wine is fantastic though! I would recommend this place for a drink and nibbles.

I'm not sure what dessert I ordered, but it was absolutely delicious! It was a delightful taste experience paired with fantastic organic wine that was fruity and full of flavor. I will definitely come back for dinner and highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a delicious treat. View menu

This charming Greek restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. It boasts the best Greek wine list I have ever encountered. The food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. They also sell deli items. The dishes are fresh, wonderfully seasoned, and the atmosphere is relaxed, allowing you to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.

I believe this restaurant has seen a decline! The food lacks creativity and is quite pricey. Charging nearly £10 for a bowl of chickpeas with a few pomegranate seeds feels excessive. The service is decent, as the staff are very friendly, but with so many Greek restaurants available in London now, they really need to rethink their menu and offerings!

The meze was excellent and ample enough for two to enjoy as a starter, even without bread! The main courses were also good. However, the service could use some improvement. There are only two unisex restrooms, one of which doesn’t have a lock. Additionally, their large wine glass holds only 175ml... perhaps to help reduce the wait time for the bathroom. View menu

starters should improve small portions is very un greek! The goat was outstanding but desserts were disappointing! The wine is really good but overpriced which will stop Londoners get familiar with excellent greek wines. You cant charge £30 40 for wines which retail 10 15 € in Greece! I know that we pay location Piccadilly however are you in for the long game or just interested in making a quick profit?

The Life Goddess fits snugly inside a small commercial space, located within a very busy courtyard area packed with other bars, restaurants and shops, creating a general background burble and clatter so better for friendly meals, rather than romantic or special occasions. The food is well made and delicious the style is home cooking, so there is no fancy presentation or pretentious playing with flavours. The wine list was good, and when our chosen wine wasn't available, our waitress unusually suggested a much cheaper bottle that was delicious! The only negative comment is the OpenTable listing of is not accurate we chose an averagely priced selection and had 2 bottles of wine between 3 peopl...

"The decor of the restaurant is really lovely. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. We placed our orders quite briskly. We received complimentary bread and olives, which was a nice touch. Our Bruchetta starter arrived a whole hour after we arrived, which was disappointing and far too long to wait for a cold and easy starter. The menu did not specify that the prawns on one of the bruschettas were raw! The waiter said service was slow because they were busy with Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Clearly not prioritising paying customers, who pay a 12.5% service charge, unlike online customers. Eventually, our main courses arrived. My pasta was only just cooked, so close to being undercooked and hard. They ran out of ricotta and replaced it with the tiniest amount of cheese so I asked for some more. Since ricotta was supposed to be the main ingredient of the dish. The tuna steak was lovely, and the veal could have done with a thinner breadcrumb batter. The sides, chips and zucchini, were £4.50 and very small portions for such a cheap side. So that was slightly disappointing. Overall, the pinot grigio white wine was very drinkable, and they brought tap water when we asked for it. And the whole staff were very polite. It was a shame the service was so slow, and the food could have been better for the price that it was. We also felt it was overpriced for the location it was, zone 2 London and not in the West End."
