Service: 5/5 quick and good. It was pack, but we got seated immediately.
Ambiance: 3/5 had a great crowd, the place is small, cute and quite an interesting set up. It was a little tight inside.
Food: 3/5. I wanted to try to klefticon but they were sold out, so I ended up trying the lamb kabob. The lamb kabob was tender, but it was kinda bland. It could use some salt and pepper. We also had the tzatziki, hummus and potato.

The food is amazing, great customer service and the portions are generous. I wish they could expand the space more so people don't have to wait so long to get a table, anyways how else will you know that the food is amazing without the wait right?

OMG!!! HALEPY what has happened to you? 
Since the mid 80' I used to eat at your restaurant all the time and now 
after a couple of years of absence I returned. The place decor is the same as it ever was but you have changed. 
You served me taramasalata that was laden with lemon. I discovered why after tasting it. It was old and the lemon was there to disguise the fact. I told you but you just ignored my concern by saying that the chef had simply put too much lemon. Ah ah ah good one especially as the chef is also the owner and should know better than serving old food to his customers. 
The rest of the meal was not better except for the king prawn. 
We paid for three meze but the portions of the starters (houmus, taramasalata etc.) were the same as for one/two person and we had to ask for bread continuously. 
The staff attitude was "I don't care" 
I could list much more of your failings but I will stop now. 
It was my birthday and you ruined it. 
THANKS HALEPY. Never again I will dine with you. 
GOODBYE

Love this local family restaurant. I recommend reservations and bring your appetite. This is where the locals eat. Each time I come to London I fit this in!

Dined there for lunch and was bitterly disappointed with the Souvla. The meat was overcooked to the point that it had dried out.  The chips were also underdone but of particular disappointment were the overseasoned rissoles which are paraded under the name Sheftalias. Rename what you serve to reflect what they are: rissoles or meat patties. Sheftalies are a wonderful iconic Cypriot street food of minced pork seasoned with parsley and onion and wrapped in caul fat - with the fat seasoning the meat as it is barbecued over charcoal.  The essential ingredient is caul fat which binds and  seasons the filling - Shame on you for misrepresenting one of Cyprus most iiconic foods.

Wonderful dinner. We were battling jet lag and ordered takeaway. Inside feels like a family-style setup with some shared tables. The mixed grill is fabulous, meats are lightly smoky and well-cooked. Beef stroganoff was also very good. Tomato and feta salad was fresh and delicious, and our server was friendly and very helpful.

We found this place by smell believe it or not. The smell of aromatics and grilled meat fills the air for blocks around! Food and service was fantastic. We had to wait an hour for our table but it was completely worth it.

First day in London and our hotel recommended this restaurant. We walked in and although we didn't make reservations we luckily got a table. Let me tell you how lucky we got because this food is seriously an authentic restaurant. Not to mention the service, Lily and TK were outstanding. I didn't get our waitresses name but I believe she was the wife/owner and I completely loved her attitude. We are for sure coming back!!! 
Thank you for your hospitality

I've been here several times over the past ten years. The quality of the food is constantly great. It's a lovely cozy place and the staff has been familiar since the first time I walked into this restaurant. You can't go wrong with whatever you order but my favorite dish is the milk fed lamb shoulder. The only negative thing about the place is that it is really crowded, and you can't book online if you wanted to book in advance. Nevertheless, I highly recommend Halepi.
