Harden's says
Opened in Summer 2023, from the team behind nearby Opso, this contemporary Greek seafood specialist in Marylebone follows a no-waste "fin-to-gill" philosophy, with fish off-cuts, tails and bones either grilled or used to make stock. Expect some meat choices, and plenty of Greek wines.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This yearling in Marylebone from the team behind nearby Opso provides an “amazing Greek fish experience” with a “great fin-to-gill ethos” – “choose one of the lovely fresh fish and it comes as a carpaccio, chargrilled head and gills (yes please!) and a fillet, again chargrilled”. In his February 2024 review, The Telegraph’s restaurant critic William Sitwell was smitten, hailing it as “a game-changer, offering some of the finest Greek food I have ever tasted”.

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).

Kima Restaurant Diner Reviews
"fairly new Greek influenced place that William Sitwell reviewed as best Greek food he's had. Oh my god. Possibly best food I've had in a year or so. It's advertised as fin to gill eating and you can choose your fish then you get numerous dishes using it - carpaccio, soup from the bones, fried head, fillets with sauce, etc. We didn't though and just ordered off their normal menu. Highlight was tuna on the bone, very lightly seared with a pesto and parmesan crust. Utterly incredible!!! Very good Greek wine list but pricey. Having said that we got an excellent £80 asyrtiko and total bill was only just over £200. I'll be amazed if they don't get a star in next 12 months. Already planning booking again for the fin to gill."
