NIKOS COALGRILL GREEK

BEST FOR Sharing plates in a bustling space. FOOD The menu can be overwhelming, so order lots of little plates to share. Mezze include fried halloumi, dolmades, spanakopita and falafel, as well as perfectly crisp zucchini fries. Fresh hummus is topped with pomegranate rubies, feta, red onion and pine kernels. It's absolutely delicious. Bigger meals come in the form of pork, chicken or beef souvlaki. Lamb or pork chops are coal-grilled and can be ordered in single, half or full kilo portions. Leave room for dessert. The menu features traditional halva, either baked or served as ice cream, sweet sticky baklava and pavlova with Turkish delight and berries. DRINKS A small selection of wine and drinks, as well as classic cocktails and sangria. SERVICE Friendly and welcoming; the owners are almost always available. AMBIENCE The interleading indoor-outdoor area is often busy and vibey, with large tables of diners. (NA)
