Holy Pitta! This restaurant serves very good Greek food, and was able to accommodate us at 10pm to help end our good night out. There were many options available mainly centred around wraps (including Gyros/Yeeros), and also dishes with bread as an accompaniment. We ordered some olives and Tzatziki to start while we waited for our Karditsa sausage, Halloumi, and the Holy Souvlaki Wrap (containing Pork and chicken) to arrive. There wasn't one dish that wasn't made well, and you can also tell the bread is freshly made with care before eating everything else. The Halloumi and Holy Wraps were standout stars on the table for me, however even the olives and Tzatziki were really good; reminding me of the few times I'd travelled around Greece. Other than experiencing great service with us seated outside always being attended to, the establishment is really nice and deceptively big. It's the kind of place that is big and airy as the kitchen is open near the front of the restaurant, and what I also loved is the big mural inside which really gives an impressions you are actually in Greece. I would love to return here on a warm summer's evening for more food, as this restaurant is a great addition to the area of Islington!

We came here for a quick meal as part of a night out in the area, not a local. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, staff are happy to give a reccomendation off the menu. Service was quick, and the kitchen was open, very clean and tidy. Food quality was superb. I had the holy mix plate, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the pork steak plate. The tzatziki was incredibly tasty, and there was plenty of it. Portion size was generous without being too much, definitely good value for money.
