5 /5 Sharon Bruwer: Nostimo is located very conveniently within a very short walk from Russel.Square Tube station. The surrounding area is beautifully kept, without the mad hustle and bustle of Soho, for example
Location is therefore a definite plus.
Staff:
Very welcoming and attentive. Iit is pleasant to have such friendly service.
Where to sit:
The indoor dining area is really quite characterless , brightly lit and close to.tje working hub of the restaurant. Even if the weather is cold and wet, I would recommend the outside area, which is perfectly protected from the elements.
The food:
Divine and very generous.
To start: the pita and dips selection is really special. No store bought flavours here.
Mains:
Kleftiko, served with Greek potatoes and a side salad. Delicious, except for the side salad which is served without any dressing at all.
Lamb chops: Pita bread, tsatsiki,chips and a side salad accompany the delicious lamb chops.Again, a simple dressing would bump up the salad.
Also a mixed chicken.and pork Jeero.plate, which is very,very generous and served with tsatziki, chips, sidee salad and pita.
If we lived in London we would be regulars.
With a small tweak here and there they can be spectacular but still homely and traditional.
