PYRO Restaurant

I was really excited about the meal, however I would say the overall experience was just okay. The food was tasty, but for the price, I wouldn’t say it was worth it or justifiable. The service was slow, and it took a while to get our orders in for each course. The spanakopita pastel de nata was tasty, and the tuna crudo wasn’t anything special. The pork souvlaki was decent and the lamb main course was good, but one part was so tough to eat.

WOW, indeed. Dinner at Pyro last night was one of those increasingly rare experiences where enthusiasm is earned rather than theatrically manufactured. The cooking is confident, the room hums with energy, and the service strikes that elusive balance between warm familiarity and professional polish. To Start – Dips & Bread The sourdough pitas arrived warm and pliant – excellent vehicles for scooping. Tzatziki – pristine, cool, and textbook perfect. Sometimes the classics win for a reason. Tarama – gloriously creamy and delicately saline. Aubergine – deeply smoky and luxuriously textured. Small Plates Spanakopita – diminutive but punchy, all crackle and savour, delivering far more than their size suggests. Souvlaki – impressively tender, properly seasoned, and kissed with just enough char to remind you there is real fire at work here. Biggish Plates Octopus – the star of the evening. Silken, buttery, and expertly cooked, with delicious depth of flavour. Sirloin & marrow – competently executed but slightly overshadowed by its peers; pleasant, though not quite postcard-worthy. Dorset lamb (medium) – beautifully flavoured and rich, especially when paired with the indulgent moussaka. A few overly fatty pieces slightly diluted the value, but the overall impression remained a positive one. Wine The sommelier guided us thoughtfully through the list and offered tastes of the two red wines we were weighing up. We settled on the house red – Kokotos Three Hills Agiorgitiko, Attica 2022 – a choice that proved entirely sound. Supple, well-balanced and food-friendly, it drank far above its station and slotted effortlessly into the meal, doing exactly what a good house wine should. Dessert Skipping dessert here would be an act of culinary negligence. Parsnip ice cream – a minor miracle. Earthy, elegant, and unexpectedly sublime. Portokalopita – unapologetically indulgent, syrup-soaked without being cloying, and deeply comforting. The atmosphere deserves its own applause. Pyro feels like a late-night beach bar in Naxos – sun-bleached, buzzy, and effortlessly cool. All that’s missing is the sea breeze and a blood-orange sunset. In summary: Pyro delivers excellent food, a vibrant room, and the sort of convivial energy that turns dinner into an event. Come hungry, bring friends, order generously, and settle in. Highly recommended for those seeking serious cooking with joyful, holiday-state-of-mind vibes.

I had such a great experience here! Angel the manager was amazing, he took the time to explain the menu and the whole concept behind the food in such a clear and engaging way. You can really tell he is passionate about what they serve and wants every guest to understand and enjoy it. As a Chef I was super surprised about the way he described each dish and made the meal even more enjoyable. Excellent service and a wonderful touch that made the visit special. The food Waow super good! Highly recommend!

Superb food and excellent presentation with a delightful take on many traditional Greek Mediterranean dishes. Simply sublime scallops, aubergine dip, kebabs and flamed grilled lamb. Some great new vegetarian dishes too. The cauliflower was scrumptious. The chef and the staff are welcoming and the entire ambiance has a fabulous relaxed, yet sophisticated, Greek island feel just like you’re in Mykonos or Plaka! A must go to restaurant for authentic, brilliantly cooked Greek Mediterranean food. I highly recommend. 5/5 for sure!

Pyro brings the warmth of Greek hospitality right into the heart of Borough. Chef Yiannis Mexis, previously of The Ledbury and Petrus, uses fire to create food with incredible flavour and finesse. My wife and I sat at the Chef's table (without paying the premium price) and watched the culinary action up close. Every dish is designed for sharing, delivering the true soul of a Greek taverna. We started with two strong small plates. The Sourdough potato pita cooked directly on the hearth was perfectly textured. Market crudités, a selection of fresh and pickled vegetables, provided a delicious contrast. Next, the Smoked aubergine & roasted garlic arrived; its depth of smoke and sweetness was amazing. We followed this with the classic Tzatziki & black Kalamata olive oil, which was fresh and good. The Tarama from Missolonghi & carob rusks was a true delight, offering a delicate, rich flavour. The Spanakopita pastel de nata showcased intelligent fusion. The Mussel saganaki, served with toasted bread & vine leaf, was simply divine, a stunning take on a Greek classic. The Souvlaki celeriac skewer cooked over the embers was another fine dish, balanced beautifully with prunes, radicchio, and sour apple. Our seafood course was sublime. The Orkney scallop with warm spices and smoked avgolemono was exquisite. Next came the Sea bream, green olives & caper leaves. This stunning dish reminded us of a perfectly seasoned ceviche; it tasted amazing. The Overnight beetroots, anthotyro, blackberries & everything bagel spice was an unexpected success; I was genuinely surprised how delicious the combination was. The mains continued the theme of excellence. John Dory cooked on the bone with Pellian hazelnuts & Jerusalem artichokes was another beautiful plate. The Crispy layered potato & skordalia was a very tasty side. The only dish I did not fully enjoy was the Smoked cauliflower, sheep’s milk labneh & sunflower seed hummus. We finished with two outstanding desserts. I had the Parsnip ice cream, Greek honey & smoked bay leaf caramel. I had never experienced parsnip as ice cream, and it was exceptional. My wife enjoyed the superb Karydopita, a rich combination of carrots, walnuts, and crème fraiche. We enjoyed refreshing mocktails throughout the evening. The service matched the quality of the food. The chefs explained each dish perfectly. Chef Yiannis came out to meet us and ask for our thoughts. Marianna and Ruhit managed our evening flawlessly; they were both amazing. This restaurant delivers on its promise of fire, flavour, and finesse. You must visit Pyro.

Visited Pyro a couple of weeks ago and can’t wait to return! Fantastic service, food menu and venue. Stunning terrace with DJ for chilled drinks beforehand, with great drinks and cocktail options. Completely wowed by the menu and dishes. Servers knew all menu items in complete detail and gave great recommendations. A particular group favourite were the dips; the tzatziki and the spiced feta dip were the best dips I’ve ever tried! Would 100% recommend. All other dishes were shared and all were incredible, another group favourite was the pork tomahawk with crackling! Stunning venue with a chilled vibe. Would completely recommend visiting and tasting the entire menu as we did! Thank you for a fantastic visit and evening!

We visited this Greek restaurant with friends and were warmly welcomed with a smile from the reception. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, and Angel, the manager, made sure everything was perfect. The food was outstanding, the brill (over 1kg) was cooked and presented flawlessly, the pork skewer was out of this world, and the rib eye with bone marrow was unforgettable. Every dish looked incredible and tasted even better. With its rustic décor and open kitchen, this is a spot to enjoy year-round. Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had, highly recommended to anyone in London.

Beautiful indoor restaurant with a lot of thought put in to the setting which overall felt like it came from an island in the Aegean. Very professional and attentive staff with a friendly demeanor too! The food is excellent and well priced considering the effort that's gone in to building the flavours which in every dish we tried were excellent. We felt very looked after and very satisfied.
