London’s Best Greek or Greek-Cypriot Restaurants for Mezze and Souvlaki | Eater London
"When Gordon Ramsay aired Retsina on The F Word a few years back, he confirmed what Belsize Park locals already knew about owner and chef, Zita Mina: She makes arguably the best kleftiko in the whole city. For over three decades, this taverna has been a constant in the community, with the family working both kitchen and front-of-house, adding a personal warmth to the incredible mezze. That includes a popular tabouli/tabbouleh, and calamari prepared in various ways. But it’s always about that slow-braised lamb shoulder; cooked for hours by Zita herself, and falling from the bone with a sigh. The place is so familial, the chef sometimes pops out of the kitchen to greet the satisfied guests, sharing stories and suggesting pairings from the impressive list of Greek wines." - Chris Cotonou
