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.

Just returned from a lunch time visit here after an absolutely delicious meal. Had a starter of cheese in honey and can honestly say it was one the nicest things I have ever eaten. Our main courses of lamb kebab and a special of chicken...were also delightful. We had a couple of glasses of wine, soft drinks followed by a coffee and some sort of cake to finish off the meal. We had lovely food in a lovely atmosphere, served by nice welcoming staff.More

A thoroughly enjoyable evening spent at Alexandros. A warm welcome from all of the staff who were attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The food was incredible, it all tasted so fresh and the portion sizes were perfect. There’s a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a...great selection of authentic dishes (the lamb moussaka is out of this world!) My only critique would be that there was a cold blast of air from outside each time the door was opened. It only serves as a testament to how popular the restaurant is that we felt this a lot through the night (and hey, the restaurant can’t control the weather!) Thank you so for such a beautiful dining experience, we’ll definitely be back to sample more of your delicious dishes!More

We thoroughly enjoyed the very generous and excellent 3-course mezes. The food and attentive service demand this strong recommendation.

While we were in Carlisle for a few days I visited this Deli, I called and ordered a variety of food and dips and a lovely fresh rosemary bread. It was all absolutely delicious and so fresh. It was ready to pick up at the...time stated, when I was in the Deli they had lovely small homemade Cannoli I think it was pistachio? (I had to add a couple to my to my order) OMG it was amazing absolutely amazing. If the Deli had been opened on the Sunday I would have gone back and bought a box of them to bring home.More

We were so pleased to get a table but would definitely make a reservation next time as this is a very popular place. Such a great selection of delicious food. The trio of dips with pitta bread was a good starter. My husband really enjoyed...his Souvlaki and my giant butter bean dish with a potato salad was so tasty. Worth the journey from Northumberland and we'll definitely return again soon.More

Took my friend who had visited from Scotland to Alexandros for lunch. The meal was superb, and the waiter was really attentive. We really enjoyed the food, and the waiter was really polite, answering any questions that were asked about ingredients etc. The only downside...was that the Owner/manager was using a table in the restaurant as his office !! a little offputting, and not a good look for the other diners either. I am not sure I would want to sit eating with someone treating the restaurant as their office.More

Food was just gorgeous, I had 2 stuffed peppers with salad, my husband had kleftiko lamb shank.

I think it’s up until 6.00pm or 6.30pm; same menu as a lunch time. But in fairness it’s very reasonable without the early bed offers - enjoy.
