Dimitris Ballas

"Very friendly and efficient stuff (when they don't chat to each other). No bookings"

"Decent carbonara - no cream, just egg. Ask for penne, bigger portion than spaghetti."

"Its very limited selection on basics like vegetables, cheese and meat makes you re-appreciate the dodgy off-licence round the corner. Very friendly staff, though."

"Although it's still struggling to stick to a specific concept, this deli/wine bar/creperie (?) offers an interesting selection of cheese, wine and Bulgarian delicacies."

"Best soups in Shoreditch (except for the beetroot one) at £4.95. Ask for extra toast and you might not be charged."

"Believe the hype -the pies are delicious (not so sure about their lukewarm take on eggs). One of the very few Greek places in London worth visiting again -along with Mazi restaurant in Notting Hill."
