A Scandi-style roastery in Holborn that surprises with some of London's most inventive, heavy-hitting Greek café cooking.
Ordering Strategy
Check the daily specials board immediately upon entry, as these are often the highlight. It works best as a substantial lunch spot rather than a quick grab-and-go.
What to order
Merguez Sandwich
Called "spectacular" by critics, it features spiced lamb under a "duvet of melted provolone" and a "rustling avalanche" of paprika-dusted straw potato crisps.
Daily Specials
The kitchen is famous for "legendary, wholly unpredictable" dishes like "shimmeringly rich" kokkinisto beef stew or "densely cheesy" macaroni pie encased in ruffled filo.
Coffee Sriracha
A "semi-mythic" house condiment with the "addictive depth of great Mexican mole," typically served on the scorched aubergine "Avobergine" toast.
Chicken Flatbread
This dish features "tender, oregano-heavy meat" and a creative "Greek salad reimagined as a feisty tapenade."
Cappuccino Freddo
An impeccable, bittersweet take on the Greek iced classic, utilizing beans roasted in their own "tiny basement kitchen."
