  • Andy's Taverna

     
  • Tucked next to vine-covered Daphne on Bayham Street, Andy’s is another stalwart of the NW1 Greek scene. Our Wednesday night visit saw the memorabilia-strewn, blue-and-white interior all but deserted; there were just two other diners. This was a shame as friendly service and decent-quality mezédes (excellent houmous, tzatzíki and greek salad) got our meal off to a fine start. The main courses, however, proved a real disappointment. A vegetarian platter combined good halloumi, stodgy moussaká, lukewarm chargrilled veg and oily spanakópitta (spinach pie) to uninspiring effect, while grilled Mediterranean prawns looked fantastic but were rather too chewy to be a real success. Weekend nights tend to see more action, with wine-fuelled group dinners and musical accompaniment from the piano by the entrance creating a lively buzz. We suspect Andy’s is best approached in this capacity: somewhere to unwind with a gang of mates rather than a place to indulge a passion for Greek cuisine.
