A Greek snack bar opened a few months ago on Long Acre and it is certainly a great location near Covent Garden. The decor is simple and comfortable; the high ceiling helps create an airy atmosphere; and the staff are friendly and cheerful. Behind every sofa seat along the walls there are large windows to see and be seen. Most passers-by could smell the food and see in from outside.
I liked the saucy chicken souvlaki and refreshing little dolmades with pine nuts, but wasn’t sure if I would pay a tenner for the tiny little portions very often. I think most people would need at least two souvlakis and two mezedes for lunch. The peach frozen fruit daiquiri was okay.
I may go back for the comfortable atmosphere when I fancy a lazy, relaxing afternoon with some friends, but I would definitely have some lunch beforehand.
