Lovely little cafe with delicious homemade Greek food, and a few Italian dishes (pasta). Maria makes everything herself and she's passionate about authentic ingredients! There is a breakfast menu and daily specials they rotate, we tried a couple of things and it was all delicious, fresh and tasty! Also their traditional Greek orange cake is fantastic, moist, rich and flavourful, absolutely fabulous cake!

Absolutely delicious, home cooked Greek food with a very warm welcome and great service from the owner. Lots to choose from for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just some cake and coffee. Everything is freshly made plus there’s a special on the menu every day. It could mean that I’ll never have to cook again!
Read on Google MapsAbsolutely amazing service. When we first came in we were politely greeted by the lovely lady working there she took our order and proceeded to give us free tasters of her own made cakes with a glass of water. As we were waiting for our food there was a nice seating area with good music playing. we got our food fast and it was delicious! would 100% recommend. so authentic and fresh. great place!!
Read on Google MapsFinally got to eat here. Such a welcoming wee cafe with incredible food. We had the Pasticcio a type of lasagne. Homemade comfort food perfection! Come eat you’ll not be disappointed!
Read on Google MapsThe food was simply amazing. Every day, there is a different main course and dessert, each packed with authentic greek flavors. We had the roast chicken, which was a standout, along with the gyros and grilled sausages paired with homemade sauces. Highly recommend if you want to taste traditional greek food. Maria, the owner, is also very sweet and makes everyone feel at home with her warm hospitality!
