Syrtaki - Southend-on-Sea

Our experience at the restaurant was amazing thanks to the company we were with. The waiter was friendly, but the service was very slow due to a party happening upstairs. We arrived at 9 pm and didn't leave until after 11 pm. We ordered the Meze and were underwhelmed by the quality of some dishes and the overall quantity of the meal. As a Greek person, I have high expectations for good mezethes, and this fell short. The price was reasonable, but I have had better meals elsewhere.

I arrived at the restaurant for a pre-booked table on Monday, only to find the doors locked, tables removed, and 2 people in the back clearing out the kitchen. I tried calling the same number I used to book the reservation to see if they were possibly renovating and we should have been upstairs, but the phone was not connected. This was quite disappointing as the restaurant had been recommended to us, so we had booked it as part of our trip to the area.

Our second visit, staff couldn’t be nicer and the food couldn’t be better, already booked our third trip! The place has a lovely feel and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable!

Just had a wonderful lunch at this lovely restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, Greek music, images of Greece. The waitress was kind and helpful. We ordered many things from the menu and I loved the bugiourti, kaserocrocketes, the most tasty fries and chicken souvlaki. The prices are reasonable and the portions full. I am coming back, any time I am in Southend on sea I will be having my food here after beach : summer it's coming this will be my place!

What a wonderful Mother’s Day meal, went with the family to our favourite authentic Greek restaurant, they had a set menu with all my favourite dishes. The waiter Thomas was as always fantastic, a young boy with so much spirit and enthusiasm . Thank you again syrtaki
