Harden's survey result
Summary
London… Mykonos… er, Riyadh… – that’s the lineup for this small international group of luxe Greek restaurants owned by Peter Waney (who, with brother Arjun, has created hits such as Zuma and Roka). It flies slightly under the radar compared with its more famous stablemates, but shares the same virtues: the vibe is buoyant and the food (a Greek-inflected mix of the raw seafood, fish, grills and pasta popular with globetrotting types) “is great… so fresh!”
Summary
This “slick operation” in Fitzrovia was created by restaurateurs Peter and Arjun Waney – of Zuma and Roka fame. It’s not dissimilar to its pan-Asian stablemates: “buzzing, fun and loud, but with food that’s very imaginative and well executed” – this time in a modern Greek idiom. They must be doing something right, as there are now branches in Mykonos, Riyadh and Porto Cervo on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.
Summary
“Slick and stylish modern Greek” in Fitzrovia, whose “buzzing atmosphere” indicates that this bid to give Hellenic cuisine a glossy makeover is on track to succeed with its good looks and “tasty and imaginative” cuisine – a formula that has worked before for investors Peter and Arjun Waney, the brothers behind the phenomenal global success of Japanese restaurant brands Zuma and Roka.
Summary
“Imaginative Greek dishes with a twist” earn high ratings this year for this three-year-old in Fitzrovia from Arjun and Peter Waney, who seem to have imbued Hellenic cooking with the trademark glamour and excitement they brought to Japanese with Zuma and Roka. The place is “always buzzing and packed”, and reporters reckon it’s “pricey but worth it” for “the best Greek meal I’ve ever eaten”.
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).
