Harden's survey result
Summary
Markos Tsimkalis is celebrating his second year at this upbeat modern taverna near Holland Park station, where fish is a particular highpoint of a sunny Greek menu made from excellent ingredients (e.g. meat from nearby Lidgates), and with many dishes from the charcoal grill. High-quality Greek wines are a particular feature of an interesting drinks list, with a number of ‘special pours’ by the glass.
Summary
Restaurateur Markos Tsimikalis closed his Shoreditch restaurant, Hungry Donkey, to open this brightly decorated Greek venue in Holland Park in late 2022. Our initial feedback is very upbeat all-round and – in April 2023 – The Independent’s Kate Ng was likewise positive, including about the signature Cretan-style cheesecake made with sheep and goat’s milk (“certainly up there with the greats”).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Owner's description
Our modern taverna celebrates Greek food, wine, and the soul of warmest hospitality in London’s leafy Holland Park.
We embrace recipes from every corner of our beloved home country. Authenticity of flavour is everything. We cook as we cook in Greece. Over charcoal and using freshest, seasonal Greek and local ingredients of the highest provenance.
And we champion indigenous Greek wines – the incredible fruits of the sun-drenched terroirs of mountain ranges, islands and wilds. Many are organic and natural. All are accomplished and sublime.
We look forward to sharing our passion for Greek gastronomic culture with you.
