Hungry Donkey

My wife and I had lunch here and we like the location. The smell from the kitchen was amazing but The food was just good not extraordinary (a bit on the sour side). The patio is very enjoyable in a sunny day and the staff is extremely friendly. It’s leaning a bit on the pricy side.

The customer service was really good. The starters and dessert were very delicious and tasty. However the mains were overpriced and lacking substance.

The stifado was £15 and had 3 cubes of beef, for a beef dish it lacked the main ingredient. The cinnamon was overpowering the whole dish and it lacked seasoning. Was not worth the £15, for some pasta and more shallots then beef.

The chicken souvla, some how they'd made chicken thighs dry and chewy, which I thought was not possible at all. The thighs were dry, overcooked and very chewy.

The only saving grace here was the complimentary pitta and the dip mix which was three dips and some pitta, best part of the whole meal. The spanakopita lacked the feta taste and I've had much better at less price.

Overall I'd say some dishes are well worth the food, I'd like to go back and try there wraps.

The wife and I enjoyed a good meal at the Hungry Donkey; the service was friendly and attentive, the wine was nice and the food was a good example of Greek cuisine, albeit it wasn't particularly memorable or exceptional. While we are moderately greedy and consumed a fair amount, we were certainly reminded that we were in London when we received the bill; little change from £100 for some meze and a bottle of wine seems steep to me, hence 3 stars rather than 4. Worth a visit, but I would probably try somewhere new than race back for a second visit...

The was food was freshly cooked, it was filing & tasty. The desserts were really nice too. There's outdoor seating as well.

Fabulous Greek restaurant just around the corner from the ibis. Excellent choice of dishes and the food was superb. Staff were very friendly and i can't wait to come back to try more dishes next time we're in town

We do serve Halal lamb, but we do have to mention that we handle pork as well, with the obvious cross-contamination procedures in place.
