Questions people ask
Do I need to book?
At weekends, yes, especially Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch. Tuesday to Thursday you'll usually find a table if you walk in, and we keep a few back every night.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, as long as we know. Every dish's allergens are on the menu and in the allergen chart, and Eleni checks the chart whenever a recipe changes. Tell us when you book and again when you order. We handle all 14 allergens in one kitchen, so for severe allergies we'll tell you honestly what we can and can't promise.
Is it safe for coeliacs?
Mostly. The grills, oven dishes and dips are made without gluten, and pitta is warmed on a separate plate, not on the grill. The chips share a fryer with floured dishes, so we swap them for roast potatoes, and we bring veg sticks with the dips.
What can vegans eat?
Tahini, hummus, charred aubergine, beetroot, olives, louvi, gemista, the vegetable souvlaki, roast potatoes, Cypriot salad, and mahalepi or daktyla for dessert. The garden meze can be made fully vegan if you tell us when you book.
Is your meat halal?
No. Our lamb and chicken aren't halal certified, and much of the menu is pork: sheftalia, lountza, loukanika, keftedes, koupepia, afelia and the pork souvla. The garden meze has no meat at all.
Are children welcome?
Very. Four high chairs, a children's menu from £7.50, crayons, and baby changing in the accessible toilet.
Can I bring a birthday cake?
Of course. We'll keep it in the fridge, bring it out with candles and plate it for you, at no charge.
Is there step-free access?
The front door has a 3cm threshold and we have a portable ramp. Inside, the dining room, takeaway window and accessible toilet are step-free. The upstairs room is up 18 stairs and there's no lift.
Do you deliver?
No. Takeaway is collection only, from the window. Ring 020 7946 0131 and it'll be ready in about 20 minutes.
Is there a service charge?
No. The prices on the menu are what you pay. Tips are up to you, and all of it goes to the team, shared by hours worked.
Can we each order something different with the meze?
The meze is for the whole table, two people minimum. If someone has an allergy or doesn't eat meat, we swap their plates without changing everyone else's.
Where can I park?
We have no car park. There's parking on the side streets, but restrictions vary, so read the signs. The 329 stops a minute away and Palmers Green station is about five minutes' walk.
Where tips go
We do not add a service charge. If you leave a tip, all of it goes to the team: kitchen, floor and window, shared by hours worked, paid with wages. Our written tipping policy is on the staff noticeboard and we will show it to anyone who asks.
Meze for eight on a Saturday. Far too much food, which is the point. There was a long wait between the hot meze and the grills because of a big party upstairs, but Stella came over, told us why, and brought a round of brandy sours. We'll be back.

Came for the halloumi. Left with a tub of talattouri, a box of loukoumades and a table booked for Sunday.

The Sunday kleftiko is huge. Falling off the bone, lemony, and the potatoes had soaked up everything in the tray. I'd happily take a smaller one for a pound less, but I say that every week and I still finish it.
