Would recommend to meat lovers who like the raw low key fun experience. Great venue with great atmosphere - good music, good attentive service, good drinks, great food for meat lovers. Environment - Low key, loud, smokey, bustling restaurant. Expect an assult on your sense in this purposely low-lit basement smokehouse - providing focus on flaming centrally placed kitchen and the chefs preparing the meat over the flaming BBQ's and grills. Be prepared to share meat cuts as they don't have many cuts under 500g..as they say "when they're gone, they're gone"

The service was impeccable, the meats were well seasoned and had a lot of flavour. The fries had the perfect amount of salt. There was a lot of variety of meats and different Japanese food. The bimbap was delicious. I told them that it was my frie as birthday and they made her a little red velvet cake to celebrate.

Fantastic meal at Suvlaki. Everything we ate was good especially the courgette fritters and the chicken skewers. All the staff were lovely. It is a small place but a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended.
