Welcomed with compliemtary olives and chillies and a cordial smile from Chef and waitress.

High taste value. Kleftades mince was full of flavour…..yummy, and salad side portion gave an overall healthy filling.

Empty on a Sunday afternoon at 1pm (opens). Later filled out to add to the atmospehere.

Chef welcomed us (Greek), waitress was local. Service was not prompt, altogether average, nothing special.

£9.90 for starters, main course and a cup of tea (Don't be fooled by the £9.90 three course meal advertised outside, lol), filled the tummy and the taste buds --value for money..tick, tick, tick

5 mins walk from Mornington Cresent, with other Greek restraunts on the same street to choose from. Only Greek restaurant opened on Sunday lunchtime on Plendour street. Camden Town is close-by for a leisurely walk to help digest.

Cold. dreary. rainy. sunday. evening. what do you need? Why ... some hot grilled vegetables and beef stew for three of course! Alexander the Great, 5 mins from morning crescent and tucked away behind camden high street. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived and then cordially invited in - served with olives, carrots and pickled chillis. Good start. Starters were filo warpped mint and sinach with cheese, smoked sausages and pork slices. Not too salty, lemons came with all to complement the grilled taste.

Mains - greek beef stew with pickled onions - tasted fairly robust and tasted suspiciously like it was made from a tomato-based worcester sauce, nothing to scream about. grilled swordfish - a winner, tender enough swordfish which, alone, gives a hefty boost. Then, more grilled vegetables and rice. The only serious let down was the chips - extremely greasy (Do not order!)

Service - good given the restaurant was nearly empty. Couldn't fault a thing

Overall - could do with a little more finesse. Not all the tomatoes and onions need to be grilled no matter how tasty they are. Might go a little easy on serving huge lemon wedges.

Will return of possible for the meze, claims on the menu to be the best in london....!

Food was excellent, packed with flavours and authenticity and it was my first visit. Service was friendly and attentive. Quality food/Price ratio was amazing. Sizeable portions too. Even had dessert compliments of the chef. Would definitely recommend it.
