Krokodilos is a forgettable Greek restaurant in Kensington - Review - London - The Infatuation

"Krokodilos—with its perfectly polished floor-to-ceiling windows and gorgeous artwork—falls short in the taste department. This Greek restaurant off Kensington High Street has the heavy curtains, linen lamp shades, and impressive bar with bottles lining an entire wall, to make anyone want to spend an evening in the fancy-feeling dining room. But when it comes to the food, it leaves a lot to be desired. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Starting with the ‘Greek olive oil experience’ that’s poured tableside for an underwhelming show. It’s about as exciting as receiving socks for your birthday. The starters are better than the mains, so focus on Greek salads and spanakopita flatbreads for a light dinner rather than going all out with things like delicate confit cod topped with an overpowering vinegar-heavy sauce, or a tomatoey prawn saganaki with barely any prawns. Inside, it’s a mix of old Kensington locals who likely have more money than taste buds, friends all dressed up for a bougie birthday dinner, and the odd couple with a 20-year age gap and an appetite for mediocre grilled calamari. Food Rundown Greek Salad A stand-up Greek salad, get this for the table. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch ‘Spanakopita’ Flat Bread This was on the specials menu, and it was also the best thing we ate. So if it happens to be on, know that it’s a tangy, salty flatbread that should definitely be ordered. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Confit Cod If you order this, make sure that the sauce comes on the side. Without it, it’s a perfectly nice, light cod dish with creamy mash topped with crispy sourdough crumbs. The sauce ruins all of that with its intense vinegar-y flavour. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
