  • This is the best review I have ever done. I was lost for words at the quality of food on display at Andy's Greek Taverna in Camden. The service, ambience and most of all the food was absolutely delicious and it's my first time reviewing Greek food on the channel!

    I have been there three times in the past two years as a visitor from Canada. Owner Andy is a true gentleman and terrific host and the staff are wonderful. I hope to return to London next year with our best friends and we will eat there to celebrate our visit.

      @@GaryEats During our first visit in 2022, we met Andy and we were given complimentary shots of ouzo and amaretto. Perhaps speaking Greek resulted in such great hospitality. Usually, at Greek restaurants one is often treated to free ouzo or dessert. Those interested in trying Andy’s for dinner should book ahead as it can get packed.

    I remember going there once and it was late, around 10.30 pm, and the place had emptied out. I was thinking I had better hurry up with my meal as the staff would be wanting to go home. The manager, as if he had read my mind, came over and said 'take all the time in the world. We Greeks believe that food is to be savoured and enjoyed, not rushed'.

    As a Greek I'm happy to see that the food is plated/served as you would typically see in Greece. Here in Canada you go to Greek restaurants and your main gets served with a kilo of rice (figuratively speaking), oven baked potatoes, and Greek salad. Which you'll never see if you eat in Greece.
    In regards to what they said about the coffee settling. After you finish drinking it you get the remains of the coffee ground at the bottom of the cup and you're supposed to "read" it for your fortune.
    All the food looked great as well! Have a nice day Gary been loving your reviews!

      There are plenty of Greek restaurants on the East coast,how have you avoided them,my first introduction to Greek food was in the many Greek restaurants in NYC in 1965 when I came to America as a young women from England.All the diners in NJ were Greek owned,and the lamb shisk kabab was always superb,and all the other Greek dishes,I don’t know if it’s the same anymore as I’m almost 80,and cook at home.I don’t know where you live,but I doubt you are far from some good foreign restaurants.Don’t wait to long,because everything gets harder by the year,what was easy at 67,is much harder now I’m pushing 80.Good luck my friend😊

      Just an advice from a Greek: next time you visit Greece ask locals where they go to eat and ask for a restaurant that is open all year round open. Avoid by any means restaurants for tourists! Also the food quality and service is worse during high season (later July till August 15).

    The food looked exceptional at this establishment and very well priced considering all the effort that goes into every element to make it truly homemade. Very worthy of such a score. I am sure their footfall will increase now that your video has highlighted this place, they deserve it.

    Gary, you've reminded me of a great Greek restaurant I went to many moons ago. It was called the Akrotiri, in Clapham. My brother was a Catholic priest nearby and was a regular at the restaurant, and was friendly with the owner. I had the Kleftiko, which was absolutely divine. When the owner came to ask if everything was ok, I complimented him, and cheekily asked how he did it. He said that when he first opened the restaurant a young courting couple were regulars. In time they got married and started a family, and every week or two they would still come, with the children. They always finished their meal with Greek bread and butter pudding. They eventually asked him for his pudding recipe, which he gave them. He never saw them again.

    Your food reminded me so much of my best friend's family, when I was in senior school.
    My friend & her family came to England, from Cyprus, in 1974, due to the conflict there, with Turkey, & they treated me like one of their own.
    I ate many meals with them, & Gina's mum made the same kind of Moussaka as the one you ate - her besamel sauce, made with eggs, was sooooo delicious! 🤣
    Gina's Dad was always cooking the Lamb Souvlaka over charcoal, & that smell is still with me to this day - I'd never had food like it, until I made friends with Gina, & it opened up the world's cuisines to me! 👍
    My mouth was literally watering as you ate the food, & the salad looked exactly how Gina's mum made it for us! Lol
    As for the Lamb Souvlaki, she would make a marinade with virgin olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, & parsley, & fresh grated black pepper, with a pinch of grated sea salt - she insisted it had to be Greek sea salt, & they'd get packages of different foodstuffs unavailable in England, in those days, from family members who stayed there, in Cyprus! Lol
    I've always loved those flavours ever since, especially when i use that delicious salty Feta in a chunky salad! Lol

      @derin111 Actually, there are increasingly less and less fish and chip shops these days in London. They are going the way of the Pie and Mash shops before them. It is quite hard to find them now. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the competition from other fast food outlets. Secondly, most of them don't do home deliveries. Thirdly, the health factor - deep fried foods went out of vogue years ago. Fourthly, the decline of the white working class community. Fifthly, the youngsters from ethnic communities seem to prefer chicken and chips shops. Sixthly, people have generally become more sophisticated in their tastes. Finally, many were of a poor standard and gave the product a poor reputation.
