"In 1988, Pantelis and his late wife Rosanna opened Aphrodite to bring a little corner of Cyprus to Bayswater. Ever since, the restaurant has attracted both locals and celebrities through its doors, greeted by the jovial and charming Pantelis. Today, it is one of London’s most beloved Greek tavernas. The decor is bright and intimate — like stepping into someone’s living room — and many of the dishes follow Pantelis’ own recipe. The creamy, homemade smoked taramasalata is a must, as is the moussaka and chicken souvlaki. But Pantelis is most proud of is his tender oven-baked kleftiko, made using closely-guarded family secrets." - Chris Cotonou
