    I have no idea what I had for desert but it was delicious. A taste sensation and fantastic organic wine that was fruity and full flavoured. I will return here for dinner and would recommend to all looking for a tasty treat.

    I think this place has gone down! The food is not imaginative and it is quite expensive! Almost £10 for a bowl of chickpeas with a bit of pomegranate it is a bit too much! Service is good as the waiters are really nice but other than that there are now lots of greek restaurants to choose from in London! They really need to consider their offering and food!

    The meze was fantastic, and plenty for two to share as a starter without bread! The mains were good. The service however wasn't great. Their are only two unisex toilets - one which doesn't lock. And their large wine glass is 175ml... perhaps to keep the toilet wait time down.

    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.

    It was a lovely place to catch up with friends, enjoyed a few cocktails, starters were lovely vine leaves & octopus; mains of lamp chops, sea bass, truffle risotto and desserts were simply devine :)

    I believe the experiment is successful! I would never think that someone would try at the center of London to create a restaurant with the most fine tastes and ingredients from different parts of Greece representing traditional tastes with this success! By far the best greek restaurant in London using greek special ingredients in innovating- gourmet recipes.

    We dined here as a group of friends in February and had a really good evening. There were several Greek patrons in the restaurant, which we took as a good sign! Our group had the Goat, the moussaka, the special of the day and the vegetarian chickpea option - so we tasted a good selection of dishes across the menu. The mains were all excellent. We shared two desserts between the 4 of us, and whilst satisfactory, we didn't find them to be outstanding. We also had a Greek person in our midst who was particularly unimpressed by the desserts. Nonetheless, it was a fun evening, with good service and we will return.

    Went here for Sunday brunch, they have one of these confusing menus where they use odd terms like "Eggs benedict served Greek style" but then don't tell you what Greek style means. Service was good except twice we ordered something only to have the waitress come back and say sorry, it wasn't available. No Bloody Marys until 3pm for some odd reason, they were out o f sausage. When eggs benedict came it was simply poached eggs served over chunks of overdried bread with a flavorless feta sauce in place of bernaise. Not bad but nothing special.

    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.
