Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The generous portion sizes have earned rave reviews— diners frequently mention how fulfilling a single dish can be. Many guests fall in love with starters like crispy feta drizzled with honey, a delightful blend of flavors. The vast menu caters to all tastes, featuring a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. The welcoming atmosphere appeals to families and groups alike, with children feeling just as at home. Plus, the well-curated selection of Greek wines enhances every meal, making it easy to pair a drink with the delicious food. Desserts, particularly baklava and Greek custard pie, receive special mentions and are often described as 'to die for'.
Most Disliked
While the experience is mostly positive, some diners note that the restaurant can get busy, particularly on weekends, so reservations are highly encouraged. A few patrons have expressed a desire for even more options, especially for seafood dishes. Additionally, the vibrant atmosphere might be too loud for those seeking an intimate dining experience. Lastly, some have mentioned the limited parking options nearby, so planning ahead for travel is a good idea. Despite these minor drawbacks, most reviews highlight that the overall experience and food make it worthwhile.

Amazing little gem. Family run which i absolutely love. Food was brilliant. Excellent portions . The staff where so lovely catered to all of our needs and very attentive. I couldn't fault it! The venue itself was really well thought out with the main restaurant out the back with a garden room vibe. The restaurant part would make a brilliant venue for parties etc. Very happy birthday meal for my grandads 80th. Spot on, highly recommend!!

10 stars out of 5 if I could! I order takeaway from their Watford Market Toni's souvlaki stand on a regular basis, and wanted to try the restaurant menu. The quality is as great as the market stand! DELICIOUS tasty food (to French standard), extra-generous portions, nice choice on the menu with genuine greek dishes, super friendly staff and nice ambiance with music (at a normal volume!) THIS is a great place for dinner, I'll come back for sure (The picture doesn't do justice to the size of the portions, they were looking even bigger IRL)

An absolutely stunning meal in a beautiful family run authentic Greek restaurant. I genuinely have never been so impressed with such a recently opened restaurant, but the reviews are absolutelyspot on. This place is truly 5 stars. Amazing friendly staff and Toni the owner went out of his way to give great personal service to us. The crispy feta with honey and sesame seeds as one of the starters was better than even one I had in Rhodes a couple of years ago. The main courses are superbly cooked and there is a huge choice. I had the grilled lamb skewers and my wife had the half baby chicken. Meat was succulent and melt in the mouth soft. But beware the portions are huge. We will definitely be back as this is the only Greek restaurant around Watford for many miles. Plenty of Turkish, Lebanese etc but no authentic Greek. This is the one and only. But remember to book especially if you are planning a visit on a Friday or Saturday. Thank you to all at Toni's.

We had a lovely meal (shared the seafood platter between 2). Lots of delicious bread and fresh dips as well as beautifully cooked fish. Children were also well catered for. The house wine was lovely and reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and place has a nice atmosphere . The menu had lots of choice suitable for a light meal or a big dinner. Would definitely recommend visiting if you're local

My favorite Greek restaurant in the UK to visit and possibly my favourite restaurant altogether in Watford. Never had bad food here. It’s always a 10/10. Everyone who works here is fab.
