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'.
There are many food review channels but Gary is on another level , absolutely made up i found this channel , feels like he really is bringing you along with him . 10 out of 10 .
@@GaryEats Next time I'm down in that London, I might have to go! Thanks, Gary! I know a few weeks ago you did The Best Chippies. If you're ever in Yorkshire again, try the Wetherby Whaler in Wetherby. Best fish & chips I've ever had.
This has swiftly become my favourite channel. Its not just Gary's brilliant reviews but its his persona. He has therapeutic qualities and a charisma that just jumps off the screen and into my living room. ❤
Gary and Alexander the Guest are a real treat to watch. Opposite ends of the $ spectrum but the same love of a good meal just jumps off the screen too.
We go to Andy's at least once every two months and have done for around ten years, barring Covid. Brilliant food, and you're right, great atmosphere at the weekends. They will be delighted with a 10* rating, and quite right too!
I saw Tele Savalas come out of a greek restaurant in camden high street in the 1980's,after a night at Camden Palace nightclub. He was happy to chat to 2 drunk students , and he did recommend the restaurant as one of best greek restaurants he had ever eaten in. So that was a good enough recommendation for me
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!
Spot on about the Canadian Greek restaurants. They are a disgrace. Greek salad with lettuce? NO way! Mousaka with mashed potatoes instead of béchamel? Heresy!
What I love about London is how families have come here to find a new home and brought their cuisine along with them, allowing everyone to share in their excellent food whilst they grow a successful business.
It's funny because I drive past that restaurant every day on my way to work but I've never imagined it's that good. Definitely going to check it out now. Thanks.
@@GaryEats yes totally agree, I've driven past this place thousands of times and never thought it was that good. please keep finding the London gems for us. I've already tried bamanoosh and that was great so will defiantly give this one a go
Wow. Andy's. is easily one of my fave places to eat in all of London.You're dead right that, it could only be bettered if it was by the sea on an actual Greek island. Although in all my trips to Greece, I've rarely eaten food as tasty as what I get at Andy's. A 10/10, all day long.
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).
Your "deprived" American/New Englander here! I have never had Greek food nor traveled anywhere outside of a handful of states on the east coast of U.S. The restaurant looked lovely and the food - scrumptious! Watching your reviews has sparked my desire to travel and experience some of the amazing cuisines in the world. At 67 years old, fingers crossed that circumstances will allow me to do so before too long! I love your videos, Gary, and I sincerely appreciate your honesty, descriptive commentary and genuine love of food. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day!😊❤
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😊
That was outstanding Gary. The quality of the food, the portions, the restaurant itself and service….WOW. Your rating was spot on. Love Greek food and that was more than first class. Thank you so much for sharing this gem 💎 with us. Much appreciated 👍👍👍
That looked absolutely delicious Gary. They should be very proud getting high praise from you because of your honesty. You review a very broad range of places which i enjoy👍🇮🇪
As a Greek, I vouch for that score at Andy’s. Been there a few times back in the 80’s/90’s. Used to be my manor, before moving to Hertfordshire. The Greek Church we used to go back in the 70’s/80&90’s on the other end of Pratt St.
Gary we finally got to Andy’s. Booked a table for a Saturday afternoon - fabulous, full restaurant but service was still friendly and not hurried. We chose to sit outside and it was perfect. Mixed grill, special souvlaki, Greek roast potatoes, chips, bread, salad - everything perfect. Thanks so much for finding g this place 👍
Oh my that looked delicious - a lovely lunch - couldnt fault it - the salad absolutely fresh and all the rest well presented. Prices very good for that quality . A good shout out for an independent -well deserved. The cameraman really showed the food well too. 10/10 definitely.
*I have been to Andys a few times and have to say it is outstanding taste and Quality, it remined me of my time in Santorini one of the Greek Islands 😊👍*
Loved the way the guy at the beginning apologised when you nearly barged into him, how very British! Love Greek food and that did look delicious, the bread looked superb too, I love fresh bread with my food. Great upload👍K regards, Chris
Great review Gary, been here with my girlfriend today, first time Greek food for both of us and we ordered the exact same food. Great staff, very friendly. Good food, really yummy. 😀👍
This is round the corner from me now I’ve moved. Going to try it on Saturday. Even more excited after watching this. Top stuff Gary, love the videos mate
@@GaryEats Gary, what can I say that you haven’t already. Just come back having spent less than £50 for the two of us and having been treated like royalty for the best part of 90 minutes. Absolutely delicious food from start to finish, highlights including the fish special, the halloumi, the fresh bread and the variety of dips. The gentleman on the table next to us had booked a table having watched your fantastic review. What a fab place, will be back soon 10/10 keep up the great videos. Top man.
Really a dream of a Greek restaurant with large portions and affordable prices. The cold blue walls and the playful decoration inside are suitable for a sunny summer day. Thank you for sharing the enthusiasm of a remarkable meal, Gary.
I love Greek food and that looked some of the best , it's not just about the taste but the colours and presentation , the passion they have for their food. Wonderful vlog and I now have food envy 😁
Very good to see these family-owned restaurants still survive and serve very good food at a decent price. We have a local Greek fish and chip shop that has been going for 62 years in one family and in this day and age, let alone given the challenges of Covid, it's good to see a business like this still surviving and carrying on a family tradition. 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.
Hi Gary i had forgotten how lovely Greek food is, it brought back memories from my days many years ago touring the Greek Islands and there amazing variety of foods, cheers and thanks.
Thank you for the recommendation Gary! I went to Andys last night and was amazing. Had the Calamari for starters, Meat Mousaka for main and ice cream to finish. Lovely food, incredible portion sizes and quick and friendly service. Great lively atmosphere too. I would go back in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work!
Well I think for the first time all the dishes were well presented the prawns and bread looked delicious so it's a 10 from me Thanks Gary one of your best great review
Good enthusiastic review, Gary. Greek family dining, it's very good. Nothing flashy, just real flavour. Simple ingredients done well. It's nothing like tasting menu extravagance but I know which I prefer.
Englishman now in Australia. I have recently discovered your channel Gary and have been binge catching up. Love your reviews and clearly you enjoyed this one. That food looked as good as it obviously tasted. Keep up the standard Gary. Brilliant. Barry
Thank you Gary, I have spent a lot of time in Greece. Love the cuisine and people. Thank you for highlighting Greek cuisine, sadly neglected on RUclips 👍👍😘
@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.
Gary, I really love your opening sequences. This one was hilarious at 0:30 just near PRATT STREET. Incredible mountain of food there, thank you. Those Prawns done me head in Class
That food looked incredible, and fantastically filling portions too! I adore Greek food-experienced both on Crete and Zakinthos & Andy’s looked so much like the food I’ve had over several Greek holidays, absolutely amazing so glad you enjoyed it!☺️
A delightful review, Gary. Also, nice to see you use the 10* at last. Andy's is no doubt sought out especially by the Greek and Mediterranean community, who appreciate such excellent fare being served in London. Your review is also a massive shout out to established family run restaurant businesses who take pride in their offering and standards. Marvellous. 👍
Greek restaurants cooking Mediterranean food are always a culinary treat and positive experience. And to think they gave the western world the pre-Socratics, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and the Stoics too!
Gary, it was delightful to see you so happy with a place. I also love Greek food and I agree with you that the only possible way to enhance the food would be to be lounging on Mykonos with a glass of Antinori Cervaro Della Sala, 2018! Well, we can all dream…..well done Gary. You are my favorite show on RUclips 🥂 as always, Linda from Laguna 🥂🐳🧜🏼♀️🏄🏻♀️💖😊
Had a bit of a bad day, felt stressed and a bit of anxiety. Thought to myself, I'll watch some Gary eats... Feel brilliant now, your persona just makes people happy. You're one in a million Gary😁 Have a great day mate. Paul🙂👍
What a fantastic review. I love Greek cuisine, brings back memories of wonderful sunny holidays in the Greek Islands. Just wish I lived near this restaurant.
Go to Daphne’s over the road next time! Voted the best Moussaka in London. It’s unbelievably delicious and the family who own it are a delight. £12 for 2 courses!!
@@GaryEats Hey Gary! I tried to go to Daphne’s for lunch today but they’re on a staff holiday until July 26th. Just in case you were planning on going! Hope you get the chance to try their moussaka when they’re back
Love your channel Gary. Your enthusiasm for the food spoke volumes. Always honest reviews and one of my favourite RUclips channels. Keep up these reviews as they are pure quality.
Gary said that he gave out his first star but we all know that Gary is always giving out fair, honest and fun reviews. Always a 10 star from me Gary 🤘❤️
Ooh, need to give that a go when I'm in London. I love family-run, neighbourhood restaurants like that. Looked like incredible food and value for money. What a gem.
@@GaryEats here in Greece where seafood is abundant, at the very least one is expected to at least give the shells a good “licking”!! I myself eat them they’re full of flavour
I was a deliveroo driver about 5 years ago and picked up from this restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night and the place was buzzing! Had to fight my way through to pick up the food and the atmosphere was great. As soon as I saw the pictures I recognised it so it definitely left an impression.
And it looks amazing, too. Nowadays worth an extra-applause: the absolutely fair prices! Will definitely head there with the family soon, thanks for your recommendation, Gary! 🙏😊
Greek food yes please, i'll get my coat. Have been to Andy's many many years ago, great to see it still going and still serving wonderful fresh food. Oh to be in those Greek islands right now. Cheers Gary
The restaurants you visit are places I never will, being I live in Tasmania. However the videos are very interesting and pleasant, also nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than knowing the cameraman gets a feed.
Its so lovely to watch your enjoyment of an incredible meal ❣ You always make my day, Gary. 💯 to you, the cameraman, the restaurant ❣ Its astonishing that you ALWAYS get fab service... perhaps its your attitude? 🤔❣
Been here with a group of 10, all got set menu and they just said “ask for more and we will bring you whatever you like”, half a bottle of wine each and the bill at the end was £30 each!
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.
At last a 10⭐️, and well deserved. The food looked terrific and very much the way the Greeks would serve it at home for a special occasion. What great value too. Friday/Saturday night there would be absolutely buzzing to create an even better experience with friends or family. Great review Gary. Opa!! 😊🇬🇷😊
Oh wow. That looks absolute superb. Those prawns, that lamb, everything looks so fresh and different from the usual restaurant offerings we get. 10/10. I can't taste it but I would love to sample this restaurant and that food.
Completely agree with you Gary. I was salavating the whole way through. Very rare to have a complete dining experience of that quality in this day and age. 10/10 from me...WOW !!
This was a fantastic review Gary. I love Greek food. I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and there was this Greek restaurant Montreal Grill below my mum's office building. I used to love going there especially on Thursdays because the guy made mouthwatering chicken and lamb souvlaki marinated in various spices with Greek rice, lemon potatoes and Greek rice. This was followed with rice pudding sprinked with cinnamon. The best food ever. I have eaten at other Greek establishments and their food has never come close.
Tradition, commitment to family values and quality, colliding with a love of Greek and Turkish food. It all inevitably resulted in a memorable experience when a hungry man was fed with what he craved. I wish we had that option up here in North Yorkshire Gary, I would be there like a rat up a drainpipe. 10 star all the way.
Nice to see you tackling some Greek food Gary and especially in a such a great taverna. Yet again the best turns out to be in a workaday environment with no fanfare or pretention. All the food looked fabulous and I'm not surprised it tasted the same way. I've not seen this quality of Greek food since I lived, (of all places), in Germany, not Greece, where I found a lot of excellent tavernas. I think it definitely deserves its star rating, and I wish I'd known about it when I last visted Camden.
Thanks Gary, that’s just how I imagined authentic Greek food to both look and taste like. I love Greek and Turkish food and that was one of nicest looking Moussaka s I have ever seen. It’s how they make simple ingredients look and taste so delicious . Like I’ve said countless times before, you are so lucky having this quality around you in London. Cheers 👍
There is so much bad quality food being served up, in towns and citys across England, now it's sometimes seems a waste of time ordering food out any more

Yeah, flash might attract some people for a while but it's the food that keeps people coming back.
It was a wonderful restaurant
@@GaryEats Like Rules
Yes, and Greek hospitality is legend!

Get me back now
Thank you Gary, I have spent a lot of time in Greece.
Love the cuisine and people.
Thank you for highlighting Greek cuisine, sadly neglected on RUclips 👍👍😘
Glad you enjoyed it Kev! Yes, not seen many videos on it
You're showing the world that there's better higher food in England besides just fish and chips shops, not that there's anything wrong with those.
Thank you. Lots of superb cuisines in the UK
Most of the World know that already….only Americans don’t! 🤫🤫😃
@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.
We all like fish and chips but it's never been seen as a special meal.
Gary dont you think greek food is always so clean looking and fresh and that is why i love so much
I agree completely Fiona
Yia sas Gary! I love all things Greek! The food is a favorite of mine. I enjoyed watching you enjoy a good meal! Thank you for another happy video!
Sandria this was just amazing x
Gary, I really love your opening sequences. This one was hilarious at 0:30 just near PRATT STREET. Incredible mountain of food there, thank you. Those Prawns done me head in Class
Thanks so much! Lol nearly knocked someone over, it was all happening today
For me the funniest bit in this one was the 100mph round the corner cyclist in a balaclava at 0:17s 😂
That food looked incredible, and fantastically filling portions too! I adore Greek food-experienced both on Crete and Zakinthos & Andy’s looked so much like the food I’ve had over several Greek holidays, absolutely amazing so glad you enjoyed it!☺️
Bill it was staggering in quality, service and price. Have a great weekend 👍
A delightful review, Gary. Also, nice to see you use the 10* at last. Andy's is no doubt sought out especially by the Greek and Mediterranean community, who appreciate such excellent fare being served in London. Your review is also a massive shout out to established family run restaurant businesses who take pride in their offering and standards. Marvellous. 👍
That’s very kind and I’m so pleased it was that good especially as it’s a family run business
Gary I've never tried Greek food your meal looks fantastic
This is amazing
Gary,Your enthusiasm is infectious . Keep it up .
That’s very kind thank you
Greek restaurants cooking Mediterranean food are always a culinary treat and positive experience. And to think they gave the western world the pre-Socratics, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and the Stoics too!
Love Greek food
What an absolute belter of a review. It all looked utterly delicious. That moussaka was fantastic. What a portion! Totally agree with the score.
It was absolutely delicious
Gary, it was delightful to see you so happy with a place. I also love Greek food and I agree with you that the only possible way to enhance the food would be to be lounging on Mykonos with a glass of Antinori Cervaro Della Sala, 2018! Well, we can all dream…..well done Gary. You are my favorite show on RUclips 🥂 as always, Linda from Laguna 🥂🐳🧜🏼♀️🏄🏻♀️💖😊
Thanks so much Linda. Very jealous you go to Mykonos
Had a bit of a bad day, felt stressed and a bit of anxiety. Thought to myself, I'll watch some Gary eats... Feel brilliant now, your persona just makes people happy. You're one in a million Gary😁
Have a great day mate. Paul🙂👍
I’m sorry to hear that, Paul. I appreciate you watching but more importantly, take care of yourself.
@@GaryEats you're a lovely man Gary. Thank you mate 💙
Great review as always Gary, If i'm in that neck of the woods in the future i will be giving it a go! 👍
You should! Thanks matey
What a fantastic review. I love Greek cuisine, brings back memories of wonderful sunny holidays in the Greek Islands. Just wish I lived near this restaurant.
I'm sorry you don't Barbara, it's superb!!
Great review Gary, I loved the enthusiasm, as soon as you cut that lamb I knew you were on for a treat 👌🏻
It was superb Jason. Have a brilliant weekend
Go to Daphne’s over the road next time! Voted the best Moussaka in London. It’s unbelievably delicious and the family who own it are a delight. £12 for 2 courses!!
That’s great value I’ll take a look thank you
@@GaryEats Andy’s is great too of course. Daphne’s is an all time favourite of mine though! I think you’d love love love it.
@@GaryEats Hey Gary! I tried to go to Daphne’s for lunch today but they’re on a staff holiday until July 26th. Just in case you were planning on going! Hope you get the chance to try their moussaka when they’re back
Love your channel Gary. Your enthusiasm for the food spoke volumes. Always honest reviews and one of my favourite RUclips channels. Keep up these reviews as they are pure quality.
Thanks so much 👍
Gary said that he gave out his first star but we all know that Gary is always giving out fair, honest and fun reviews. Always a 10 star from me Gary 🤘❤️
Thanks Henry!!!
Ooh, need to give that a go when I'm in London. I love family-run, neighbourhood restaurants like that. Looked like incredible food and value for money. What a gem.
Give it a go Justyn!!
Eat the prawn shells, you get a lovely crunch.
Well said!
I would love to but then I get a lot of stick for doing so lol
@@GaryEats here in Greece where seafood is abundant, at the very least one is expected to at least give the shells a good “licking”!!
I myself eat them they’re full of flavour
@@GaryEats don’t take any notice, do whatever you feel like doing
I was a deliveroo driver about 5 years ago and picked up from this restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night and the place was buzzing! Had to fight my way through to pick up the food and the atmosphere was great. As soon as I saw the pictures I recognised it so it definitely left an impression.
I've heard it's packed in the evening as well which is great
And it looks amazing, too. Nowadays worth an extra-applause: the absolutely fair prices! Will definitely head there with the family soon, thanks for your recommendation, Gary! 🙏😊
You won’t be disappointed this is a fabulous restaurant
That looked amazing Gary, I’m drooling looking at it. Great selection of food. Loved the soundtrack too, made me want to start smashing plates 😂
Thank you Steve I’ll let the cameraman know actually he has a smashing time as well lol 😂
Looks good!
We had a fabulous meal at
The King's Arms at Stow On The Wold yesterday.
Beautiful home made food & great service.
Very nice, I should have gone there!
I’m so happy you tried Greek food, and enjoyed it’s one of my favourite. Love your videos keep up the great work Gary and camera man.
That’s really kind and appreciated
One of my favourite restaurants ever. Whenever I'm on a stopover with work, I eat here! They always remember you too, just like in Greece.
That is absolutely fantastic to hear. And I agree it’s a fantastic restaurant.
Greek food yes please, i'll get my coat. Have been to Andy's many many years ago, great to see it still going and still serving wonderful fresh food. Oh to be in those Greek islands right now. Cheers Gary
Fantastic stuff Jason. Oh I wish
The restaurants you visit are places I never will, being I live in Tasmania. However the videos are very interesting and pleasant, also nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than knowing the cameraman gets a feed.
I was so lucky on this one Simon and actually so was the cameraman
@@GaryEatshey mate don't think you should say the camera man was lucky to be fed
Looks amazing Gary I love Greek food. Thank you for your vlogs there always a great watching👍 Phil.
Phil that very kind thank you
What a find Gary - that looked fantastic. Another one for the ever growing list mate.
Have a brilliant weekend Rob
Gary love your reviews but could you please let us look at the menus a lot longer or a link , you know its easy cos let's give it a go 😊
I can’t make it too slow or the video will take too long, how about putting pause when it’s playing or if you have time look at the website 👌
Gary, you're a legend because you're genuine, Keep going I love the channel.
Very much appreciated, Greg. Thank you very much.
Great review, perfect food. Well done Gary
Thank you very much Howard
Hi again Gary ☺️ what an amazing place, wish I lived close enough to visit 😊❤❤, fantastic price too 😊❤ thank you for yet another eatery experience 😊 ❤
Hi Trudy thank you as always, please have a great weekend and see you soon hopefully x
Everything looked quite delicious!
Absolutely Bill 💯💯
I like the way you do these reviews Gary.👌Keep it up!
That is very kind to say thank you very much
Its so lovely to watch your enjoyment of an incredible meal ❣ You always make my day, Gary.
💯 to you, the cameraman, the restaurant ❣
Its astonishing that you ALWAYS get fab service... perhaps its your attitude? 🤔❣
That’s very kind Melany and I’ve been very luck with the service everywhere thankfully x
Another fascinating review. Well done again, Gary. I know you have a tough job, but someone has got to do it!
It's a very tough job at times!! Wouldn't wish it on anyone... lol! Thank you and have a wonderful weekend
That does it, Im coming to the U.K. for
some real good eating! ( im from Chicago).
You come over and I’ll meet for a drink 👍
Lovely Day.... Grey and Cloudy. I feel like the UK is in an abusive relationship with the weather and don't expect better.
Lol it was warmer than I'm used to
Been here with a group of 10, all got set menu and they just said “ask for more and we will bring you whatever you like”, half a bottle of wine each and the bill at the end was £30 each!
That’s outstanding value wow
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.
What a great but almost sad story Bob
At last a 10⭐️, and well deserved. The food looked terrific and very much the way the Greeks would serve it at home for a special occasion. What great value too. Friday/Saturday night there would be absolutely buzzing to create an even better experience with friends or family. Great review Gary. Opa!! 😊🇬🇷😊
I fully agree I couldn’t fault the restaurant absolute quality all round
Banging review again,,,,I'm starving now, cheers pal..😂
What's in the menu in your household tonight?
@@GaryEats whatever our lass has made mate,,I'm still at work :) , keep up the good work Gary.
Getting a 10 Star from Gary means the place will be impossible to just pop in
Lol never, they're very busy without me no doubt
Wow, it looked amazing. I like mousakka a lot. The lamb looked so yummy too. Thanks for the video Gary.
Thank you as always this was just so good 😊
Oh wow. That looks absolute superb. Those prawns, that lamb, everything looks so fresh and different from the usual restaurant offerings we get.
10/10. I can't taste it but I would love to sample this restaurant and that food.
It’s definitely 💯 worth a visit if you get a chance
Guess this goes off the charts gary..
It was sensational
🙄
Completely agree with you Gary. I was salavating the whole way through.
Very rare to have a complete dining experience of that quality in this day and age.
10/10 from me...WOW !!
This was so good Nick one I’ll be returning to in the future without doing a review
Wow, you caught a bike thief on camera 👍🏼😎
@@GaryEats I think Andy meant the kid on the bike who zoomed around the corner whilst you were doing your intro before you turned around.
I’ve only just seen that wow
LET'S GO! 🇬🇷
As always!!!
This was a fantastic review Gary. I love Greek food. I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and there was this Greek restaurant Montreal Grill below my mum's office building. I used to love going there especially on Thursdays because the guy made mouthwatering chicken and lamb souvlaki marinated in various spices with Greek rice, lemon potatoes and Greek rice. This was followed with rice pudding sprinked with cinnamon. The best food ever. I have eaten at other Greek establishments and their food has never come close.
Great memories, this was just outstanding, have a great weekend 👍
Tradition, commitment to family values and quality, colliding with a love of Greek and Turkish food. It all inevitably resulted in a memorable experience when a hungry man was fed with what he craved.
I wish we had that option up here in North Yorkshire Gary, I would be there like a rat up a drainpipe. 10 star all the way.
I'll be on the hunt in Yorkshire soon David to find you some gems!!
Look before you turn.. 😂
I'm a muppet
I love this show…….❤🙂….going to London in October and will give Andy’s a visit…..Gary is always beautifully dressed!
That’s very kind to say, Betty thank you very much x
Nice to see you tackling some Greek food Gary and especially in a such a great taverna. Yet again the best turns out to be in a workaday environment with no fanfare or pretention. All the food looked fabulous and I'm not surprised it tasted the same way. I've not seen this quality of Greek food since I lived, (of all places), in Germany, not Greece, where I found a lot of excellent tavernas. I think it definitely deserves its star rating, and I wish I'd known about it when I last visted Camden.
If you’re ever in the area I cannot recommend more highly 👌
Thanks Gary, that’s just how I imagined authentic Greek food to both look and taste like. I love Greek and Turkish food and that was one of nicest looking Moussaka s I have ever seen. It’s how they make simple ingredients look and taste so delicious . Like I’ve said countless times before, you are so lucky having this quality around you in London. Cheers 👍
I agree with you absolute quality and we are very lucky indeed 👍
There is so much bad quality food being served up, in towns and citys across England, now it's sometimes seems a waste of time ordering food out any more
Spot on 👍🏼
