Tsiakkos & Charcoal

Amazing food and atmosphere! Could not fault it - I'll be back.

Simple, unpretentious restaurant delivering good quality food at reasonable prices. It's a bit cramped and quite noisy but 'you get's what you pay for'.

Great food and awesome service, with a real family vibe. The starters were so big we were almost full before the mains, but they were so good we had to push through and finish them. Would highly recommend

Lovely home-style restaurant and food. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, fair prices and brilliant atmosphere. We had an awesome night and will definitely go back again!

I hadn't been to Tsiakkos for few years and found they've made some "improvements" I'm not sure I approve of. Freshly painted walls, an electric ceiling light in the dining room, and those famous plastic tablecloths have gone. But I needn't have worried, the food is as scrumptious and plentiful as ever. The mezes is incredible value at £25pp. Having eaten our fill we had to take the final course home for lunch the next day. I shan't leave it so long until next time.

Brilliant tasty and fast food as always and great staff who are always pleasant and friendly. A must try if you’re in the Harrow Road area!

Amazing amazing food, love it. Highly recommend, order the mezze it’s the best way to experience all the dishes. Great atmosphere and staff are excellent

Great food at excellent value in a simple but homely setting. The Kleftiko and moussaka were especially good and £4 for a tumbler of red is always good!

The food was delicious and well worth the money. Everyone who worked there was lovely and they didn’t mind that we stayed late. Overall it was a lovely evening.

Overall really good experience and really good value. The people were amazingly warm, nice, and attentive. Would pass on the pork souvlaki, but the Taramasalata is a must order with a basket of pita. The kleftico was also really tasty!

Unpretentious and tucked away in Maida Vale, Tsiakkos & Charcoal consistently serves excellent food and has great service, it is the best Greek restaurant in London by miles.

Great Greek restaurant with amazing food and service. The meze selections were awesome and very authentic. Will definitely come back here again. Good spot for small and large groups.

My favourite restaurant in the world! Hands down - delicious food, friendly and a great atmosphere. I've recommended this to everyone I know! Thanks Tsiakkos!

Pork shoulder was really delicious. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money and an interesting varied menu. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Amazing meal and such lovely people! Always a pleasure to come and eat here, love the local atmosphere and the food is always delicious. Thanks!

Tiny restaurant with excellent food, a bit hidden. The meze platter (for 4) was more than we could possibly eat. I highly recommend this restaurant

All I can’t say is it was amazing as always! Hidden jem and worth a visit! It’s the best Greek we have ever had in london!

Wonderful restaurant, food and atmosphere. This restaurant is a real gem, beautiful home cooked food (made with love) and buzzing unique atmosphere creative by the owner and staff. Have loved this restaurant for a long time, and love it still

Food was not brought at the same time and no excuses given prior to us asking. It appeared they may have needed more staff as it was very busy. Staff did not appear attentive as had to call out many times before we got their attention. Sea bass was bland. And rice not cooked properly. Not all bad. Nice & cosy restaurant in my neighbourhood. Will return on not so busy a day and hopefully experience will be better as prices are very good.

Tsiakkos and Charcoal has great food and welcoming hosts. The pork and lamb were both great and had large servings. It is a great place to have a group of friends

top place. it's one of those that never fails. sure winner

Amazing local with the most delicious food. It is very original, feels like you are walking into a small eatery in Greece. Service is always friendly.

Incredible delicious home cooked food - friendly staff, great atmosphere,l and musIc. Its a total neighbourhood gem. I’d challenge anyone to find a better combination of the right ingredients

Lovely non-fancy restaurant like in the back of your aunties kitchen in Greece. The ole frock was to die for, meat literally falls off the bone. The hommous is so chunky and tasty and all the flavours of the mezze come alive. The only disappointment was the baklava and that’s only because it was Lebanese style and not Greek! Customer service was very friendly and welcoming.

We always try to eat at Tsaikkos when visiting family in London. Food as always was exceptional. A must to visit, you will not be disappointed, a real hidden gem. xx

A great find. Good humoured service. Amazing food. Unlikely location. Good value. Packed with people. Had a great evening. Will most certainly be back soon.

The actual restaurant looks so run down and although I had read amazing reviews of the food, I was a bit worried! However, the food was just incredible. As posted on a food review, ' a hidden gem' and it certainly was. A family run Greek restaurant I have to say that the food was the best Greek food I have had, and I've had a lot!! Would certainly recommend Tsiakkos & Charcoal

Genuine, neighbourhood restaurant with lovely service and fresh, flavoursome food. The portions are very generous and the menu features all the classic Greek items. Highly recommended

Went right at opening, and good thing too - that place gets packed! And for good reason: Michael was an ace server and the food is fantastic. Incredible lamb - so tender and flavorful! This place is a gem!

Best restaurant in London for food, atmosphere and service. The slow-cooked lamb and the pork are extraordinary. Hummus like no hummus ever tasted. Boss Xen is a legend.

Table ready, very welcoming atmosfere and food just divine as always. Don’t forget to ask for the dessert - sometimes they have amazing home made cake - last time I had a carrot cake. I was tempted to order the second slice.

Wonderful restaurant. Cosy and intimate garden at the rear. Very romantic and the food was really good! We will definitely be back and would definitely recommend.

Food is always amazing here. Service is slow. Cash only.

Amazing food and great staff :) We all went for meze and 4 portions served 7 people just right. Also they have a great choice of wine. We’ll be back for sure!

cosy restaurant, good simple food and portions. wine is OK, they could stock some greek wine. very nice ambient on the terrace. no cards accepted

Delicious food. Only thing is the meat could have come a bit quicker so we could have eaten it with all the bread and hummus we ordered! But appreciate everything is freshly cooked

Wonderful food, excellent service. First time visiting and will definitely be back. The restaurant is very unassuming and no frills but this adds to the charm. The Greek salad with feta was sooooo good. Cash only but there is a cash machine around the corner for anyone who forgets this.

As always a great dining experience, great food, great service and great atmosphere. I would highly recommend it for anyone that likes a buzzy place.

We found this place to be a Very friendly lively neighbourhood restaurant with copious very tasty food - little garden for those summer nights. Delightful.

This place is an absolute gem! Xen and his team make stunningly delicious and authentic food while managing a familial atmosphere filled with genuine sincerity. We are always excited to return for all the goodness! Thanks, a

Amazing as always, great food, great service and great atmosphere. My favourite Greek restaurant in London ! Payment is only cash, which can put off some people, but once you are aware of this, it's fine. Food and wine are amazing value, the 4 of us ate for about 100 quids, including a selection of starters, mains and 2 bottles of wine.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, Xen, the owner is lovely and I love the decor. I recommend the pulled pork or the lamb and def have the hummus...

The food was delicious and the staff very welcoming. It’s a perfect place for a dinner with friends or even a romantic evening. Highly recommend.

Great value, great quality food in a family run restaurant. The Meze set meal has very generous portions. The atmosphere is more relaxed and casual and it can get very noisy if there is a big party in.

This place was recommended by a work colleague,but it’s location down a backstreet and it’s outer appearance did put us off. Inside this very Small,quirky venue had very friendly staff,a buzzy atmosphere and okay food. Though the overpriced drinks(wine glasses required)and bread that should be included not charged as an extra! The 1 dingy Toilet was inadequate for the amount of customers and the place though trying to look rustic was nudging towards scruffy!!! A lick of paint inside and mainly outside would not go amiss. All in all it was okay,but would not return as many of my local restaurants do the same food better,cheaper and in far better surroundings.

Easy going place where you will eat Always superb food - also salad is tasty! Highly recommend the lamb. Yesterday I have tried a delicious cheesecake but made just for the S. V. Occasion - hope they will continue to make it :-) Staff very welcoming.

Great food - the meze is the thing to order, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff make this place a must visit in West London

Great food and friendly staff in a rustic environment. The slow cooked pork and kleftiko were excellent and the charcoal cooked souvlaki with the rice was very tasty as well! Well done!

Excellent restaurant, not been for 30 years and not disappointed! Please put lamb and garlic sausages back on the menu ASAP! We will be back.

Best food and amazing service. My favourite place. I discovered tsiakkos 8 years ago when I came back from a holiday in Greece. I never looked for another Greek in London, if you haven’t tried, give it a chance.
