Despite an unpromising exterior, this lively city centre Greek restaurant is worth visiting. The food could not be more authentic if it got up and smashed the plate it had been sitting on. Customers choose three courses from a set menu, including favorites like kleftico, stifado and moussaka, for GBP 14, or meze for one (over twenty dishes) is available at £16. All dishes are freshly prepared by Greek chefs, and there's Greek dancing every night - you don't have to join in, but after a couple of bottles of retsina who knows? Oh, and if you take a cowardly friend along, an English menu is also available.
