    We had a lovely family dinner here, service was great and food delicious. We did the provincial banquets and enjoyed every dish. Only suggestion would be to serve some bread and dip with the mains too. Thoroughly recommend you give it a try, much improved under the new owners.

    We celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary yesterday at the restaurant. I must say, that we loved everything! I have been to this restaurant a few times now and I am always leaving impressed and with a full belly. The menu is more exciting than other Greek restaurants that I have been to. They have their own personal touch on traditional Greek food. They knew it was our anniversary and gave us a little goodie bag with a sweet message hand written on the bag and a free desert. We were not expecting this and thought it was absolutely lovely of them. I would highly recommend Philhellene. The staff are lovely, the food is amazing and the ambiance is so cosy. A special thanks to our lovely waiter. You made our night. We will be back, thats for sure!
