Lemonia in London's fancy Primrose Hill is a slightly more expensive Greek restaurant. When walking in I was first struck by the buzzy atmosphere and accommodating staff. The interior was very Mediterranean and tastefully done. We had pre-booked so were seated fairly quickly, but if you haven't booked the wait is lengthy.
The menu is pretty long so there's an overwhelming amount of choice. We opted for the hot and cold Mezze selection (£18.50 per person). This comprised of lots of little tapas like dishes that we all shared. We had the grilled Halloumi, Greek Sausages, Tabouleh (crushed wheat with olive oil, lemon and parsley), as well as the Aubergine salad, Calamari etc... It came with Hummus and Pitta bread. At one point the table was so full of little plates I barely had a place to rest my drink.
The food was good. I'd say above average. I've never really thought of Greek food as fancy or expensive, but when it's well done it's easier to part with your cash.
