Tsiakkos & Charcoal

"We visited London for the weekend with our children out apartment was just across the road so we popped in for a drink and sat outside with the children, the staff couldn’t have done anymore for us so friendly and offered the children a bowl of rice and drinks, we loved it so much we went in for food the following night and wow! The best food I’ve ever tasted with yet again the friendliest staff I felt so at home and can’t wait to come and visit again, highly recommend!"

"If you’re looking for a nice local like restaurant, without any glitz and fuss, where you feel welcome and comfortable… this is your place! The taramasalata was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. I would definitely travel and cross the city to eat it again. Houmous was was very good as well. Pork souvlaki was a little dry but the slow burnt Pork was nice and juicy. The rice serves with the meats was very flavourful. You really feel that you’re eating in someone’s kitchen and it is nice to still find this kind of simplicity in London. Will definitely go back and get more of that magical taramasalata! Prices are very reasonable."

"Tsiakkos & Charcoal Greek restaurant in London is a charming, bustling yet homely restaurant located in an unassuming terraced house on an otherwise quiet street. Reservations are essential as the restaurant has acquired almost mythical status, the likes of Harry and Megan having dined there (supposedly). The kitchen is almost on top of the tables, with the scent (and smoke!) of cooking flooding the small dining area. The service is friendly and attentive. The menu is limited which makes choosing quite straightforward. The food is satisfyingly delicious and very generously portioned. My only criticism is that it does not really resemble anything I've encountered in Greece or Cyprus. The pork I tried was unexpectedly sweet and the accompanying rice seemingly prepared with cinnamon and sugar. Tasty to be sure, but I was not really transported to the Mediterranean."

"try kleftiko and the pork. really good quality/taste for its price, in london"

"Great family owned Greek restaurant. It's a bit hidden from the street. I live nearby and have never checked it out before because I didn't know it was a restaurant there. The food is very very good and the portions are generous. The rice is one of the best I've had and the lamb is super tasty and well cooked."
