Authentic Greek taverna with garlic tzatziki & moussaka
"If you’re blessed with a birthday that doesn’t fall within umbrella season, then you should bask in the glory of your sunshine celebration privilege on this old-school Greek restaurant’s pavement terrace in Camden. It’s been open since the ‘60s and specialises in colossal portions of moussaka, heavy pours of chilled Retsina, and a choir of servers singing ‘Happy Birthday’ like they share your DNA." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"As anyone who’s ever played out a Mamma Mia fantasy in Greece knows, tzatziki is meant to be near-offensively garlicky. This masterclass in clove usage at Andy’s Greek Taverna—an old-school spot in Camden—is gloriously thick, with grated flecks of refreshing cucumber. Nab a pavement seat, crack a bottle of Mythos beer, and feel smug that you didn’t sell an organ to go to Santorini." - sinead cranna
"This old-school Greek restaurant has been going strong since the ‘60s and operates as a sort of pseudo-foster programme for sad Londoners who want to pretend they’re in Rhodes. Heartily stuffed dolmades are passed across tables, Yannis Markopoulos songs blare from the speakers, and any pungent garlic breath from the truly Greek-style tzatziki is dutifully ignored. The food is reliably tasty with the slapdash, giant portion presentation favoured by good yiayias everywhere." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Despite our Hollywood connections (that one time we saw Bill Nighy in Soho), there still hasn’t been a wholesome feature film made about the history of Andy’s Greek Taverna, a classic Greek stalwart in Camden. But don’t worry, take a seat on the permanently packed-out pavement terrace and the owner will happily regale you with stories dating back to the ‘60s, inevitably over a crisp glass of imported Retsina and a monstrous slab of exceptional moussaka. Share the more-is-more garlic tzatziki, the dolmadas, and know that by the time the complimentary shot of amaretto arrives, you’ll feel like you share DNA with every server present." - daisy meager, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley
"This certified charmer of a Camden taverna has been going strong, and pioneering potent tzatziki-sponsored garlic breath, since 1967, and its terrace is permanently packed with in-the-know dolmade enthusiasts. FYI, friendship is economically wise—bring numbers so you can split their absolute slab of a moussaka, a few starters, and a bottle of imported Retsina, all for under £20 each." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
