Without a doubt the best afternoon tea we have had. The food was absolutely delicious and our server Dylan was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We had asked before hand if our daughter could have plain ham sandwiches and it was all prepared for her without any trouble. We will definitely be returning next Christmas for festive afternoon tea at The Savoy Gallery.

Quality restaurant. Great food. I am often made to feel odd for liking my steak well done and usually they come cremated but not here. I asked for my steak well done (no pink). When it arrived it was slightly pink but staff were fantastic and remedied the situation without making me feel uncomfortable or destroying the steak. it is really worth it for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff members. By far the best restaurant we found in London.

This is very much a fast food outlet and not a 'Greek experience'. That said, the staff on hand were pleasant and attentive and the food was fresh and tasty. Two of us ate as much as we could manage for less than £30 with beer.
