- This is the best review I have ever done. I was lost for words at the quality of food on display at Andy's Greek Taverna in Camden. The service, ambience and most of all the food was absolutely delicious and it's my first time reviewing Greek food on the channel!

I have been there three times in the past two years as a visitor from Canada. Owner Andy is a true gentleman and terrific host and the staff are wonderful. I hope to return to London next year with our best friends and we will eat there to celebrate our visit.
I don’t think the owner was there on my visit but it was absolutely excellent nonetheless!!
@@GaryEats During our first visit in 2022, we met Andy and we were given complimentary shots of ouzo and amaretto. Perhaps speaking Greek resulted in such great hospitality. Usually, at Greek restaurants one is often treated to free ouzo or dessert. Those interested in trying Andy’s for dinner should book ahead as it can get packed.
Going this summer, i have now added this to my list of places to visit as well as pallacios for breakfast.
@@GaryEatsactually Gary as far i remeber you given 11 out of 10 to one of restaurants 😂😂
@@Katmando376 stop making theories ;) after so many videos anyone would forget ;)
There’s a reason why these dated looking neighbourhood restaurants are still around! What a damn good feed you had.
Yeah, flash might attract some people for a while but it's the food that keeps people coming back.
It was a wonderful restaurant
@@GaryEats Like Rules
Yes, and Greek hospitality is legend!
I would much rather pay for the food being good than expensive flashy surroundings
As a full time wheelchair it's so good to know when eating places have access, thankyou Gary!
Your welcome Sam take care x
Very important for access, I know.
This has swiftly become my favourite channel. Its not just Gary's brilliant reviews but its his persona. He has therapeutic qualities and a charisma that just jumps off the screen and into my living room. ❤
100% and it’s the range of places he visits. Can’t wait until he goes international also 😂
Gary and Alexander the Guest are a real treat to watch. Opposite ends of the $ spectrum but the same love of a good meal just jumps off the screen too.
He's a mild mannered English gentleman!
He’s a legend 👊🏼💚
@@gothicgorey Yes I can't wait to see 'Gary eats crocodile eyes'. 🐊
What I love about London is how families have come here to find a new home and brought their cuisine along with them, allowing everyone to share in their excellent food whilst they grow a successful business.
It's not just London, it's the whole country
Very true, but adopted countries don't become prosperous just from the pleasure of eating.
Bloody immigrants coming over here and making us nice food to eat! 😛
What’s brilliant it how they provide pure excellence and that’s because they care 👍
@@maxwellfan55Nobody said they did.
We go to Andy's at least once every two months and have done for around ten years, barring Covid.
Brilliant food, and you're right, great atmosphere at the weekends.
They will be delighted with a 10* rating, and quite right too!
That’s so good to hear from regular customers thank you
It's funny because I drive past that restaurant every day on my way to work but I've never imagined it's that good. Definitely going to check it out now. Thanks.
The best! Please give it a go
@@GaryEats yes totally agree, I've driven past this place thousands of times and never thought it was that good. please keep finding the London gems for us. I've already tried bamanoosh and that was great so will defiantly give this one a go
Me 3 😂
These posts of yours serve the restaurants.. and foodies so well. Well done, Gary.
Yes, the presentations are fabulous. This restaurant is a gem.
Wow. Andy's. is easily one of my fave places to eat in all of London.You're dead right that, it could only be bettered if it was by the sea on an actual Greek island. Although in all my trips to Greece, I've rarely eaten food as tasty as what I get at Andy's. A 10/10, all day long.
Glad you agree, it's a special place and deserves a big mention
As I come from a greek background, so glad that you enjoyed the greek cuisine, used to be a lot greeks back then in Camden.
Walked past loads mate, did you like the look of the food?
@@GaryEats truly amazing
I saw Tele Savalas come out of a greek restaurant in camden high street in the 1980's,after a night at Camden Palace nightclub. He was happy to chat to 2 drunk students , and he did recommend the restaurant as one of best greek restaurants he had ever eaten in. So that was a good enough recommendation for me
I've had much better than Andys
There are many food review channels but Gary is on another level , absolutely made up i found this channel , feels like he really is bringing you along with him . 10 out of 10 .
Kevin that’s so very kind and I really appreciate that my friend, have a wonderful weekend 👌
Your "deprived" American/New Englander here! I have never had Greek food nor traveled anywhere outside of a handful of states on the east coast of U.S. The restaurant looked lovely and the food - scrumptious! Watching your reviews has sparked my desire to travel and experience some of the amazing cuisines in the world. At 67 years old, fingers crossed that circumstances will allow me to do so before too long!
I love your videos, Gary, and I sincerely appreciate your honesty, descriptive commentary and genuine love of food. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day!😊❤
There are plenty of Greek restaurants on the East coast,how have you avoided them,my first introduction to Greek food was in the many Greek restaurants in NYC in 1965 when I came to America as a young women from England.All the diners in NJ were Greek owned,and the lamb shisk kabab was always superb,and all the other Greek dishes,I don’t know if it’s the same anymore as I’m almost 80,and cook at home.I don’t know where you live,but I doubt you are far from some good foreign restaurants.Don’t wait to long,because everything gets harder by the year,what was easy at 67,is much harder now I’m pushing 80.Good luck my friend😊
Just eat something other than burgers and chips
Try the the New Olympia in Lowell… it is not that far from you.
Greek foods fabulous, very simple but very tasty. I hope you get to travel because it definitely tastes better when you’re in the actual country.
Also from New England and I totally agree!
That looked absolutely delicious Gary. They should be very proud getting high praise from you because of your honesty. You review a very broad range of places which i enjoy👍🇮🇪
Thanks so much Jay. Staff were lovely
Astonishingly, Gary mostly thinks the staff are lovely 😂... I think it could be a 'Gary' thing. ❣
Loved the way the guy at the beginning apologised when you nearly barged into him, how very British! Love Greek food and that did look delicious, the bread looked superb too, I love fresh bread with my food. Great upload👍K regards, Chris
Actually it's called civilised!!🙄
Chris it was totally my fault and he was brilliant in my opinion 👍
@@GaryEats Mine too 👍
I LOVE these kinds of places. Unpretentious, small menu, small restaurant, great service, great prices and fantastic "simple" food.
Cooked and served perfectly
@@GaryEats Next time I'm down in that London, I might have to go! Thanks, Gary!
I know a few weeks ago you did The Best Chippies. If you're ever in Yorkshire again, try the Wetherby Whaler in Wetherby. Best fish & chips I've ever had.
You're showing the world that there's better higher food in England besides just fish and chips shops, not that there's anything wrong with those.
Thank you. Lots of superb cuisines in the UK
Most of the World know that already….only Americans don’t! 🤫🤫😃
@derin111 Actually, there are increasingly less and less fish and chip shops these days in London. They are going the way of the Pie and Mash shops before them. It is quite hard to find them now. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the competition from other fast food outlets. Secondly, most of them don't do home deliveries. Thirdly, the health factor - deep fried foods went out of vogue years ago. Fourthly, the decline of the white working class community. Fifthly, the youngsters from ethnic communities seem to prefer chicken and chips shops. Sixthly, people have generally become more sophisticated in their tastes. Finally, many were of a poor standard and gave the product a poor reputation.
We all like fish and chips but it's never been seen as a special meal.
Oh my that looked delicious - a lovely lunch - couldnt fault it - the salad absolutely fresh and all the rest well presented. Prices very good for that quality . A good shout out for an independent -well deserved. The cameraman really showed the food well too. 10/10 definitely.
Thank you very much
That was outstanding Gary. The quality of the food, the portions, the restaurant itself and service….WOW. Your rating was spot on. Love Greek food and that was more than first class. Thank you so much for sharing this gem 💎 with us. Much appreciated 👍👍👍
I really appreciate that Andrea this was exactly that a gem 💎 thank you 🙏
Hello Gary, thank you for mentioning access to Andy's, food looks beautiful
My pleasure. I will continue to do so!
Impressive quality food. I don't think I've seen you so enthusiastic about a place, a 10* well deserved. Thank you Gary as usual for a great review.
Jans very kind thank you
*I have been to Andys a few times and have to say it is outstanding taste and Quality, it remined me of my time in Santorini one of the Greek Islands 😊👍*
Couldn't agree more! Only way it could be better is if it was on a coast
transport me to that cafe/restaurant , prawns looked incredible , lamb , well just looks gorgeous
Get me back now
I love Greek food and that looked some of the best , it's not just about the taste but the colours and presentation , the passion they have for their food.
Wonderful vlog and I now have food envy 😁
Couldn't agree more. The vibrancy of the colours made it that much more appetitsing to eat
Englishman now in Australia. I have recently discovered your channel Gary and have been binge catching up. Love your reviews and clearly you enjoyed this one. That food looked as good as it obviously tasted. Keep up the standard Gary. Brilliant. Barry
Berry thank you for watching and subscribing to the channel it’s really appreciated especially all the way from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Gary i had forgotten how lovely Greek food is, it brought back memories from my days many years ago touring the Greek Islands and there amazing variety of foods, cheers and thanks.
It's lovely, very refreshing as well
Well I think for the first time all the dishes were well presented the prawns and bread looked delicious so it's a 10 from me
Thanks Gary one of your best great review
Appreciate that Paul. Thank you
Gary, I really love your opening sequences. This one was hilarious at 0:30 just near PRATT STREET. Incredible mountain of food there, thank you. Those Prawns done me head in Class
Thanks so much! Lol nearly knocked someone over, it was all happening today
For me the funniest bit in this one was the 100mph round the corner cyclist in a balaclava at 0:17s 😂
Yia sas Gary! I love all things Greek! The food is a favorite of mine. I enjoyed watching you enjoy a good meal! Thank you for another happy video!
Sandria this was just amazing x
Thank you Gary, I have spent a lot of time in Greece.
Love the cuisine and people.
Thank you for highlighting Greek cuisine, sadly neglected on UA-cam 👍👍😘
Glad you enjoyed it Kev! Yes, not seen many videos on it
As a Greek, I vouch for that score at Andy’s. Been there a few times back in the 80’s/90’s. Used to be my manor, before moving to Hertfordshire. The Greek Church we used to go back in the 70’s/80&90’s on the other end of Pratt St.
You know the quality George thank you
What an absolute belter of a review. It all looked utterly delicious. That moussaka was fantastic. What a portion! Totally agree with the score.
It was absolutely delicious
Good enthusiastic review, Gary. Greek family dining, it's very good. Nothing flashy, just real flavour. Simple ingredients done well. It's nothing like tasting menu extravagance but I know which I prefer.
William that’s perfectly said thank you
Love your channel Gary. Your enthusiasm for the food spoke volumes. Always honest reviews and one of my favourite UA-cam channels. Keep up these reviews as they are pure quality.
Thanks so much 👍
That food looked incredible, and fantastically filling portions too! I adore Greek food-experienced both on Crete and Zakinthos & Andy’s looked so much like the food I’ve had over several Greek holidays, absolutely amazing so glad you enjoyed it!☺️
Bill it was staggering in quality, service and price. Have a great weekend 👍
Very good to see these family-owned restaurants still survive and serve very good food at a decent price. We have a local Greek fish and chip shop that has been going for 62 years in one family and in this day and age, let alone given the challenges of Covid, it's good to see a business like this still surviving and carrying on a family tradition.
The food looked exceptional at this establishment and very well priced considering all the effort that goes into every element to make it truly homemade. Very worthy of such a score. I am sure their footfall will increase now that your video has highlighted this place, they deserve it.
I fully agree with youn💯, I really hope it brings some trade as it’s well deserved
Looks amazing Gary I love Greek food. Thank you for your vlogs there always a great watching👍 Phil.
Phil that very kind thank you
Wonderful to see you enjoy a fantastic restaurant!! Much deserved!!!
Thank you so much Wendy
Looks good!
We had a fabulous meal at
The King's Arms at Stow On The Wold yesterday.
Beautiful home made food & great service.
Very nice, I should have gone there!
That looked amazing Gary, I’m drooling looking at it. Great selection of food. Loved the soundtrack too, made me want to start smashing plates 😂
Thank you Steve I’ll let the cameraman know actually he has a smashing time as well lol 😂
I’m so happy you tried Greek food, and enjoyed it’s one of my favourite. Love your videos keep up the great work Gary and camera man.
That’s really kind and appreciated
Amazing place. Thanks for the recommendation. Saw it this morning, went this evening and this is the best Greek restaurant I have been to outside Greece!!
Great review Gary, I loved the enthusiasm, as soon as you cut that lamb I knew you were on for a treat 👌🏻
It was superb Jason. Have a brilliant weekend
Quickly becoming my favourite food reviewer,honest and no mucking about..brilliant
That’s really kind and appreciated thank you 👍👍
So pleased you popped out on my feed, Gary. Watched a few videos now and love your delivery - a little bit Ron Manager but very endearing. I'm making notes but getting a little behind on the restaurants to try in London!
Thank you for watching Geoff I really appreciate you watching thank you
I want to go here!! Love Greece and Greek food. Thanks for another great review, Gary 😊
Me too Anita it definitely worth a visit
Great review as always Gary, If i'm in that neck of the woods in the future i will be giving it a go! 👍
You should! Thanks matey
Gary,Your enthusiasm is infectious . Keep it up .
That’s very kind thank you
What a fantastic review. I love Greek cuisine, brings back memories of wonderful sunny holidays in the Greek Islands. Just wish I lived near this restaurant.
I'm sorry you don't Barbara, it's superb!!
Its so lovely to watch your enjoyment of an incredible meal ❣ You always make my day, Gary.
💯 to you, the cameraman, the restaurant ❣
Its astonishing that you ALWAYS get fab service... perhaps its your attitude? 🤔❣
That’s very kind Melany and I’ve been very luck with the service everywhere thankfully x
What a find Gary - that looked fantastic. Another one for the ever growing list mate.
Have a brilliant weekend Rob
Another fascinating review. Well done again, Gary. I know you have a tough job, but someone has got to do it!
It's a very tough job at times!! Wouldn't wish it on anyone... lol! Thank you and have a wonderful weekend
Hi Gary, a while since I have Greek food this looked so good a pleasure to see you enjoy every plate. Andy's will be a must on my next visit this summer thank you for sharing.
Hope you enjoy it
Great review, perfect food. Well done Gary
Thank you very much Howard
Gary said that he gave out his first star but we all know that Gary is always giving out fair, honest and fun reviews. Always a 10 star from me Gary 🤘❤️
Thanks Henry!!!
you could see how good it was, another fantastic review! Thanks Gary.
Thank you Chris it was excellent
That food looked sooo good. Gary, love it when you make a mess shows you really enjoying your food. Great video Gary
My apologies Michael it was so good
Getting a 10 Star from Gary means the place will be impossible to just pop in
Lol never, they're very busy without me no doubt
That does it, Im coming to the U.K. for
some real good eating! ( im from Chicago).
You come over and I’ll meet for a drink 👍
What a great review gary. Lovely food in nice surroundings. You really enjoyed your meal, well deserved👍👍
Thank you I really had a great time 👍
The food looks amazing. Once again another great video from Gary! Top job
Thank you so much 👍
Banging review again,,,,I'm starving now, cheers pal..😂
What's in the menu in your household tonight?
@@GaryEats whatever our lass has made mate,,I'm still at work :) , keep up the good work Gary.
Lovely Day.... Grey and Cloudy. I feel like the UK is in an abusive relationship with the weather and don't expect better.
Lol it was warmer than I'm used to
looked fantastic Gary, great review detailing both the quality of food and staff
Thank you Stephen
Gary, yet again some lovely looking food, and a great review, thank you.
Very kind Colin thank you
Wow, you caught a bike thief on camera 👍🏼😎
@@GaryEats I think Andy meant the kid on the bike who zoomed around the corner whilst you were doing your intro before you turned around.
I’ve only just seen that wow
At last a 10⭐️, and well deserved. The food looked terrific and very much the way the Greeks would serve it at home for a special occasion. What great value too. Friday/Saturday night there would be absolutely buzzing to create an even better experience with friends or family. Great review Gary. Opa!! 😊🇬🇷😊
I fully agree I couldn’t fault the restaurant absolute quality all round
Oh fantastic love Greek food. Well done what a great review and love your honesty
Glad you enjoyed it!! It was sensational
A gem of a review. Excellent food, obviously made with love. Thanks again for another very entertaining review. ❤
Thank you very much that’s so kind. Have a wonderful weekend x
@@GaryEats Same to you. Take care x
Guess this goes off the charts gary..
It was sensational
🙄
LET'S GO! 🇬🇷
As always!!!
After 4 weeks away this was the first catch up on your reviews, Wow! The food looked incredible, I love Greek food and watching you when you really enjoy something! Next time I’m in London I’ll be heading here, thanks Gary!
Linda this is definitely definitely worth a visit and hello again that you for till watching 👌
To see your smile and reactions to the food made my day, outstanding review Gary !
That’s very kin£ and I loved it all 🥰🥰
Honestly, I never thought Bamanoosh would ever be beaten because you had tears in your eyes during that review!
However, I cannot disagree or fault your review here. Everything looked perfect! 10*/10 was well deserved. Thanks Gary.
I was just as surprised as you Gary but I must admit, this was a different kettle of fish. Truly brilliant!
Look before you turn.. 😂
I'm a muppet
Hi again Gary ☺️ what an amazing place, wish I lived close enough to visit 😊❤❤, fantastic price too 😊❤ thank you for yet another eatery experience 😊 ❤
Hi Trudy thank you as always, please have a great weekend and see you soon hopefully x
Will definitely try the restaurant great review really enjoyed Thanks for all your hard work regards Greg keep
Thanks for watching Greg
Brilliant review Gary.
Love Greece, the people the food and of course the weather.
If you go back please try the Beef Stifado and Gyros if they have it on the menu.
Food looked spot on.
Well done Andy’s 👏🏻
Thank you Tony and when I return I will
Gary, it was delightful to see you so happy with a place. I also love Greek food and I agree with you that the only possible way to enhance the food would be to be lounging on Mykonos with a glass of Antinori Cervaro Della Sala, 2018! Well, we can all dream…..well done Gary. You are my favorite show on UA-cam 🥂 as always, Linda from Laguna 🥂🐳🧜🏼♀️🏄🏻♀️💖😊
Thanks so much Linda. Very jealous you go to Mykonos
Another enjoyable review Gary, and you were loving it!
Been in here a few times.....
I have met Andy and such a nice man-shame he wasn't there on your visit maybe another time 😀
You understand the quality on offer Mike 👌
Really a dream of a Greek restaurant with large portions and affordable prices. The cold blue walls and the playful decoration inside are suitable for a sunny summer day. Thank you for sharing the enthusiasm of a remarkable meal, Gary.
Juan as you could tell I loved this restaurant brilliant food and excellent service
Great review as always Gary keep up the varied content food looks fantastic keep up the fantastic videos mate fair play for giving a Greek restaurant a go
Cheers 🍻 Jack thank you very much
Can't agree more one of the best places you have eaten at, absolutely delicious, ive been to many a Greek Islands and mainland Greece and I love the whole way of life and the food of Greece, excellent review Gary. Cheers mate.
Thanks Harold, this was simply outstanding
Thanks Gary for another great review, the food looked amazing I will definitely be trying this out next time I am Camden way
It’s 💯 definitely worth a visit
Great review once again gary I love Greek food and Greece is my favourite holiday destination love a Greek meze myself
Richard this was wow 🤩
So nice to witness such a happy food experience. 10* is truly a superb recommendation. I must try this place out 'as well'. Thank you!
Thanks so much Sylvia
I love Greek food. Andy's looks like the real deal. The food looked amazing and the restaurant has a good vibe. Gary you gave your first 10* and I think it was well deserved. Excellent review. Have a great weekend............Cheers.
Daniel thank you and have a fantastic weekend mate 👍
You could tell the food and the experience of eating there were divine. Totally agree with your score. Those prawns were something else. I adore moussaka too
Yes it was! Have a superb weekend
Wow!! So glad I watched this and witnessed your first 10* review 👍
Thanks so much for watching and tuning in
Added to my "must-visits" on my trip this summer. Outstanding work, Gary.
It’s really worth a visit
Thanks Gary, that’s just how I imagined authentic Greek food to both look and taste like. I love Greek and Turkish food and that was one of nicest looking Moussaka s I have ever seen. It’s how they make simple ingredients look and taste so delicious . Like I’ve said countless times before, you are so lucky having this quality around you in London. Cheers 👍
I agree with you absolute quality and we are very lucky indeed 👍
Thank you for this review Gary, I intend to go back to London later this year as it's been a while since I've visited and I love being around Camden when I visit for at least one day, I'll be sure to visit this place, cheers!
Please give this a go, you will not regret it
Excellent review as always Gary!
Next time I'm in London, I'll make sure to pass by this place with the family.
You won’t be disappointed Michael and I hope you all enjoy
What a wonderful little gem of a place
The food looked absolutely fantastic
Very envious 😋
It really is!
Looks lovely Love greek food home made family run business so important thanks for letting us know about these restaurants as always really love your channel and hearing your reviews❤ 😊
That’s very kind Michelle this was so good 😊
What a great review, think i might try this one soon Gaz, looked absolutely quality glad you enjoyed it mate
You should. Have a great weekend
Yet another Great Review Gary. Please keep them coming!
Thank you as always and this was simply WOW 🤩
Brilliant. These long-term family owned restaurants put the passion and soul into food ... loved it 😊
I agree family run top top
I LOVE Greek food!! Great review as always.
Thanks so much!
A delightful review, Gary. Also, nice to see you use the 10* at last. Andy's is no doubt sought out especially by the Greek and Mediterranean community, who appreciate such excellent fare being served in London. Your review is also a massive shout out to established family run restaurant businesses who take pride in their offering and standards. Marvellous. 👍
That’s very kind and I’m so pleased it was that good especially as it’s a family run business
I have been waiting for a Greek taverna review and wow Gary you did not disappoint. Having lived in Cyprus for 2 years back in the day, this took me back to those family restaurants in Nicosia and trips to Paphos. The Greek salad herb should be oregano that you tasted. Thanks for a fabulous find, Gary.
Glad you enjoyed it Richard!!
Fantastic review, my wife and I will definitely be going there soon. Many thanks 😊👍
I hope you both have a great time Nigel 👍👍
