Loved this restaurant and we all said it has been probably the nicest food we have had within our 2 week stay! Tucked away on a private corner below the irish bar. The service we could not fault, our waiter was speedy and very friendly ?.
For starters we had bread with dip which we thought was simple but delicious and Borek (feta filled filo pastry with honey) that was also tasty! For mains we had chicken shish kebab, beef shish kebab and mixed grill (which is definitely value for money!) All the meat was perfect to everyone's liking! Thanks to the chef ?
The environment was lovely and chilled, playing traditional Greek music and wasn't too busy. Towards the end of the night we were offered Madeiran wine to take as a shot with information on where the wine is made on the island (again hats off to the waiter!)

Leuk, gezellig en zeer sfeervol grillrestaurant in Funchal. Het is niet bijzonder groot maar wel ruim ingericht (fijne zitplaatsen). Ze hebben een eenvoudige menukaart met kwalitatief goede gerechten. Deze worden op een open grill voorin het restaurant gemaakt (geeft een leuk authentiek sfeertje). De bediening is super aardig en gastvrij!

We were really hopeful before going to this restaurant as it looked cozy and I could smell of the grill from outside, the taste of the food was also good but the quantity was not good, also the food was not value for money. If you pay 16 euros for a meal you expect it to have good quantity but it was not. We lived in a 5 star hotel in Madeira and payed 18 euros for a meal which was making us full. Also the service was slow, I felt one person was overloaded with orders, nothing against the people working there but I feel they need more workers.

The service was excellent however the food was disappointing for what I paid. 4 tiny pieces of meat and clearly pre done chips for nearly 20 euro felt like a bit of a scam.

Went last night. I had the veggie moussaka with rice and my husband had the mixed grill. The moussaka was OK, it would have been tastier with meat! The mixed grill was 5 small pieces of meat, which were overcooked, and chips. Really disappointing for the money. We told the waiter we were still hungry so he offered us more chips! Go to Restaurante Terrace D'Ajuda instead. They do a lovely 3 course meal, with lots of options, for the same price as a main course here, and you're stuffed when you leave!

Had lamb chops very chewy and not much meat served with tasteless rice and little else. Came away hungry husband had lamb shawarma, very small portion served on a wrap and little else. Very expensive for what we had. Got to be one of the worst meals we've had in Madeira and certainly not worth the price

After a pretty good first impression with an initially friendly waiter, it took a turn for the worse when we got our cold mezze which was very small, rather bland and didn‘t come with enough bread / pita. We tried to ask the waiter for more bread but he ignored us for a few minutes and then finally said „just a second“ and just forgot about us. The main dishes weren‘t really good either, small portions and just pretty mediocre in general. We were all disappointed and wouldn‘t recommend this place.

Service was slow. We waited 1,5 hours to get food on the table. The kofta was dry, rice was tasteless and overall the portions were small and visually anemic. All in all a disappointing experience.

We came here as the menu outside said vegan moussaka and cold mezze including vegan tzatziki however after receiving the cold mezze and questioning it, the chef confirmed they no longer use coconut yoghurt for the tzatziki and the moussaka has cows cheese. Thankfully we don’t have dairy allergies. The mushroom shawarma was quite nice, nothing to write home about. The waiter was originally helpful and friendly however not apologetic or showing any intention to change the incorrect labelling.PS the falafel is sad, don’t bother

Now called ‘Mezze Grill’
We came here as the menu outside said vegan moussaka and cold mezze including vegan tzatziki however after receiving the cold mezze and questioning it, the chef confirmed they no longer use coconut yoghurt for the tzatziki and the moussaka has cows cheese. Thankfully hadn’t taken a bite of the tzatziki yet. Had to settle with the mushroom shawarma to share - this was quite nice, nothing to write home about (but nor is much of the vegan food in Madeira!). The staff weren’t apologetic or showing any intention to change the incorrect labelling.

Ribs starter was nice but the pitta dips was a very small portion.Main was also bit underwhelming , the chicken and lamb chops were nice but accompanied with some some bland rice. Portions are rather small for the price which meant we were still hungry afterwards.
