A little piece of Greece in Shrewsbury. AMAZING food & vibes. Love the little blackboard menus as the food is made fresh. & always as specials. It was fun chatting to other people dining about what they had & we had or were going for as we all had different boards dotted around. We will definitely be back. (Parking on road or opposite) I had the chicken gyros & my partner had the beef which was like a stew. I’m already craving another it was so good! We will pop out for takeaway one Wednesday evening for sure. I’m yet to try the lush looking baklava! It looks like it would be a gorgeous place to visit one summer evening too in the garden.

Had an amazing meal tonight with our friends. First time visiting (after a couple of years of trying to arrange between us!) Food was amazing, MASSIVE portions of home cooked, fresh food. The owner was by herself tonight but checked in with us despite being busy. Would definitely recommend & be back!

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Chanced upon them through Facebook and has that Taverna feel. Dishes are (for this time of year) all specials, so while you don't know quite what you might be sitting down to, the choices are excellent, fresh, and full of flavour. Sitting in the front part of the restaurant allows you to watch the kitchen in full flow, which is a treat. Cretan Wines and Greek beer just added to the experience. One to recommend.

We ordered the gyros as part of the Wednesday takeaway deal, it is such good value (5 each) and they were absolutely delicious. Freshly made and huge portions, we had one chicken and one halloumi and both were amazing! Also ordered a slice of the pistachio and chocolate cake which was so good, I wish I had ordered more than one! Staff very friendly too, would highly recommend.
