if you eat meat there are 2 pages of menu devoted to different forms of grilled or roasted carcass
similarly there are loads of fish/seafood things that i also ignore. so my poor bullied friend will end up having some or all of the following:

houmous/creamy whipped tzakziki, spicy chunky feta cheese dip
hot grilled haloumi with lemon juice
hot soft fresh pitta brushed with oil and herbs
salty crunchy golden fries smothered in crumbly feta and oregano
tangy lentil salad
thin crispy slices of courgette sprinkled with a tiny bit of toasted grated cheese
rich cheesey vegetable moussaka stuffed with mushrooms, courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes etc
sweet red peppers stuffed with spinach, cheese and baked in white wine

it's called "as greek as it gets", and every person who comes to london should made to eat there!!!
