Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We chose this restaurant based on the reviews and we weren't disappointed!
The welcome was war, the food delicious and plentiful and the service was cheerful and friendly.
We ate early on a Friday evening and the restaurant was busy - good job we booked our table for 4! Two of us chose a starter and main course from the menu whilst the other two chose to share the vegetarian meze. All the starters were great .... those which come with the meze option are probably enough to eat without the rest of the food which comes included ... but then you would miss all the other delicious offerings! My fish kebab was delicious and my husband enjoyed his kleftiko. We finished with coffee and one kataifi to share. Our waitress kindly provided a doggy bag for the lovely leftovers and surprised us with a lemon liquere with the very reasonable bill. I would unhesitatingly recommend this restaurant ... but only order the meze if you are extremely hungry!

Visited Alexander the Great on a Sunday afternoon in February, I had travelled down from Leeds. We prebooked via the website and thank goodness we did! Even at 2pm it was absolutely rammed, which is definitely a brilliant sign. The food quality here is absolutely insane, amazing mezze, hummus and fish dishes. My friends shared the vegetarian mezze and the portions were huge! For £18 each it was amazing value for money. I tried the mixed kebab and it was excellent, the meat was cooked perfectly and the salad and rice was really tasty. This place definitely showcases authentic, tasty and affordable green / mediterranean dishes. The service was also great, the waiters were very attentive and talked us through the dishes. I can completely understand why this place is in the top 20 in London. I will be back!!

As soon as I stepped into the restaurant I felt like I'm on a luxury relaxing holiday to Greece! The beautiful authentic decor and attention to detail (even down to the lighting and music played) makes it feel like a magical summer night in Greece. Our waiter Vassilis was very friendly and attentive to my family throughout the whole night and did everything he could to make the experience there as fantastic as he could. He went through the menu with us and was very knowledgeable about what food would and won't suit our dietary restrictions. Even the owner of the restaurant and other waiters (Nico) and waitresses were very kind and welcoming to us. The food was honestly some of the best food I've ever tasted. I had the grilled octopus starter and Kleftico main course. I will definitely come again soon (especially since I'm craving the grilled octopus dish again). Absolutely superb delicious food and rare understanding service

Wow! I had gone only once previously, before going a second time, to this gem of a restaurant, and was not only served an incredible and affordable dish but was welcomed back as though I were a "regular" (which I am surely becoming). The staff is so engaged in you as their customer and really wants to make sure you leave satisfied with a full belly from their delicious foods and a great experience. HUGE thank you to Ilene for the upbeat energy, lovely conversation, and AMAZING service! See you soon!

This was mine and my girlfriend’s first time here and first post lockdown date, we visited Athens late last year and it spurred on our love for Greek food but I’ve never tasted mezzes like they have here, to die for! The al fresco dining reminds you of Europe on a sunny evening. Extremely well priced for a London restaurant and the quality of service was amazing, we were looked after by Eileen who made sure we didn’t long for anything the entire time we were there, food came out quickly and as soon as Eileen worked out that my girlfriend was vegetarian she kept bringing her little extra veggie mezzes to try (free of charge). Overall couldn’t recommend this place or their staff more, makes perfect sense that they’re thanked the #3 restaurant on Trip Advisor in London. Thanks to everyone from Chefs to Eileen who made us feel special, will be back very soon.

Great atmosphere, food was really tasty.
Staff can’t be more accommodating. After my husband told Eileen it was our anniversary I was very much surprised when a free dessert appeared with candles and sparklers, congratulations playing and the whole restaurant clapping and cheering lol

Lovely restaurant. The food is very tasty and fresh, great customer service and nice outdoor space, all for a very risible price. I had octopus as a main course while my friends had meat and we were all very pleased with the food, plus at the end we got limoncello on the house. I would definitely go back.

This was a birthday treat from my husband whilst visiting London. It was our first but definitely not our last! The staff were very friendly and incredibly enthusiastic when singing happy birthday and presented me with a sparkling firework baklava!! The food was served in ridiculous portions that I hardly touched my Moussaka having pigged out on the hot and cold sharing starters. I can see why this is such a popular restaurant.

Reserved a table for Friday and when we arrived, everybody friendly and accommodating. Started with a bottle of Prosecco and then shared starters, mains and desserts along with a further bottle, finishing with coffee. All Food, drinks and service was excellent. It was busy but not loud with background music enabling decent conversation and a lovely time.
Intend to visit again.

As so many before us, We chose this restaurant based on the reviews and we weren't disappointed!
We ate early on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was very busy - good job we booked. We opted for the meat and fish meze. All the starters were great - tzatziki, taramasalata, houmous, tahini, beetroot, mushrooms, potato salad, chicken salad, feta dip, black eyed beans, giant beans, all served with warm pittas. Far too much food but a great selection. 2nd course and main course were great too. Our waitress kindly provided a doggy bag for the lovely leftovers. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We agree with another reviewer- only order the meze if you are extremely hungry!

If you're looking for tasty, authentic Greek food with outstanding hospitality, then look no further. Me and my family recently visited this restaurant to have a get together, and we were blown away by how authentic the restaurant was. When you enter, you straight away feel like you're in Greece or Cyprus; from the traditional Greek tables to the sculptures of Greek Gods and of course, the formidable Alexander The Great. The service was marvellous. The staff made us feel welcomed and took great care of us. They were extremely attentive and also have us a cheeky Baklava with Limoncello on the house. 😜 Even the owner, Stellios, came and greeted us. You really don't get this type of sublime service anywhere else in London. The food was simply outstanding. Huge portions, especially the Meze; delectable flavours that make you wonder whether you're in London or a Greek Island, and thoughtful presentation. Key highlights were the Calamari, which packed so much flavour and the meze, which gave us a wide array of tasty starters and a humongous kebab. All of this for amazing value for money. We would definitely be coming back for another night!

Ended up in Camden Town confused where to have a meal. Got recommended to this place and was well worth the few minutes extra walk from the station.
The most beautiful authentic Greek food complimented by the best personal service (Eileen)
I cannot recommend more highly than 5 star but would advise anyone to try this place because we will be returning for sure ....
