Most Disliked
While Daphne Restaurant enjoys immense popularity, it does have a few drawbacks. Some patrons mention that the intimate setting may feel cramped, particularly during peak dining hours, leading to a bustling and slightly noisy atmosphere. The limited space can detract from a romantic evening out. Additionally, a few diners note that reservations are essential, especially during busy weekends, and failing to secure one could lead to longer waiting times. Although many love the vibrant energy, it may not suit those seeking a calmer dining environment. A couple of reviews highlighted that dishes, although delicious, sometimes vary in portion size. Despite the minor issues, the restaurant remains cherished for its authentic cuisine and welcoming vibe.

The food was AMAZING!! Tasted and felt very authentic, from the meze to the mains and the lovely Greek service. Taramasalata is a MUST — best we’ve ever had. Had the lamb chops and was delicious! Only thing is it’s a small place so can get cramped and a bit loud. However still a great place to go for special occasions or any occasion really!

Wonderful food; lovely quaint, clean, and traditional atmosphere; and kind, attentive service. They bring you olives as you sit and I ordered the moussaka. The moussaka was delicious and large portion!

Seems extreme to label all 5⭐️s but I had no plans to come here. I was meant to go across the street to another restaurant where I had a booking, peeked in here on the way over & ditched all plans. The food was phenomenal. I had a lamb shank which melted off the bone. We had a seafood starter and the haloumin which was grand. Nicholas was a gem. One of my fave nights in my new neighbourhood. 100% RECOMMEND!

Superior food and service. This restaurant is 5 stars plus! The shrimp appetizer, grilled swordfish steak special and Greek salad were all perfectly prepared and delicious! Such a great find in Camden that I asked for a reservation the next night as well. ….Back again from USA 6 months later. This is a “must visit” when in London. Amazing owner, professional service and superior food each and every time! Can’t wait to try every item!!

WOW what a memorable meal. Was recommended by a Greek/Cypriot friend and i’m so glad we finally came here to try it. The team were so warm and friendly- Greek hospitality! And the food was absolutely divine, such fresh and tasty seafood. Standout dishes were Taramasalata, Feta dip, Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Meatballs and the potato side dish. I can’t wait to come here again!

Great evening meal while on a business trip! Only picked appetizers, most of them were good overall (the hummus was not as smooth as I expected / have had at some other establishments, so just something to be aware of, but still tasty). The lentil soup was incredible, as well as the service. Friendly and welcoming, couldn’t have been better. Would come back with friends!
