Beautiful restaurant. Staff were great. Service was amazing. Food was so good and portions were quite big. The starters were a platter to share with pita bread and dips. For mains we had fish was was slightly oily and had some bones but it was delicious. My sister has the beef ribs. They were soooo good. And not a small serving. We didn't even get to the coleslaw. It also came with chips. Desert was a perfect smaller portion to share. So good. This was my first time at Papas and will definitely come back. 4 managers came past to ask how everything was. Service was great

I had the chicken souvlaki and it was bland tasteless, portion was also small. The butternut served with the beef ribs was salty and the chef said that's how its prepared. We sent it back and asked him to toss it in some maple syrup and it was much better. This was also sent back from my husband who is a qualified Chef in fine dining, it was an insult when the chef didnt offer to fix it we had to suggest a fixing option. We waited extremely long for the mains we were 13 people that was not nice. The malva was not good and the portions of the malva and baklava was bite size not even dessert size also a disappointment. We definitely wont be returning to this restaurant.

Hi Natasha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We have noted your concerns, and I have discussed this with the chef and manager on duty. Yes, we season our butternut with salt and pepper and let the natural sweetness come through, but it shouldn't have been too salty. Your mains took 34 minutes after ordering, and for a 13-seater table, it should have taken a maximum of 25 minutes. We do regret this.
If there is anything we can do to make-up for your disappointment, please let us know.
Regards
Charles
