I went to Fantasia with two friends. Three of us had the set meal which is 25 pounds. The portion of the set menu is quite small and I thought it is for two people..

Really delicious chicken kebabs, fresh from the charcoal grill. Great place to come with friends and share food. It's only a few minutes walk from Paddington station. Try this little gem.

Wide range of options to suit all tastes. Food was freshly prepared and staff were very helpful, attentive when needed but never rushed us so we could linger and chat. Although it was a quiet evening the place still had a friendly and welcoming feel and the food lived up to expectation.

This is a strange little greek restaurant. Maybe it is because of Covid but there is no restriction so do not know why we were the only 2 in the restaurant. There was another diner when we leaving. The food is actually very authentic cooked very well and tasty for the very reasonable price. So opentable members I would encourage you to try this little place out. It is a find and bargain.

Remarkably quiet restaurant - was the only one in on a Friday night! Did hurt the ambience a bit which explains the low score there, but not necessarily the restaurant's fault! The food was fine - can't say more than that unfortunately, as it wasn't anything special but was OK. No visible Covid systems in place was a concern - obviously with the OpenTable booking they've got my details anyway; and table spacing was not an issue with being the only person in so it's not to say it wasn't done, but there wasn't an obvious QR code and the visible steps which provides comfort and re-assurance.

Tiny little greek place. Family run I think as I noticed the lady who took our order went to the kitchen afterwards to cook and bring our food. And there was another old man who was walking back and forth and checking on us occasionally.

We were visiting someone in hospital; we wanted a quick bite to eat before travelling home; ideal spot, good service and good quality Greek food, we had lamb kebab and salad, the meat was very good. Had a glass of the house red and it was very drinkable. Ambience very average, service was very good.

Odd little place, in a converted pub, on a triangular footprint, so narrwoing the further away you get from the door. Makes it an interesting shape, if a little crowded We went for the meze, which at £20 as good value. The quality was good - the grilled meats cooked well and a nice variety. Slightly over cooked halloumi, but nothing significant. Well worth a visit and a good price for the area

Was a nice find while in UK. Is in the Paddington area where the Heathrow Express drops you off. Good authentic Greek food with a nice atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Everything was tasty and the service was attentive and friendly. Just wish they served Retsina wine by the glass but no big deal. Will recommend and return

Ordered an okra lamb dish but there was only one piece of lamb in my dish. Chicken was really dry and overall not worth the money. I highly do not recommend.

Avevo erroneamente prenotato con un’offerta ma il proprietario è stato molto gentile e ci ha permesso comunque di scegliere dal menù alla carta. L’attesa dei piatti è stata un po’ eccessiva ma la qualità degli stessi più che buona. Dolci eccellenti, bella atmosfera, prezzi nella media

As we landed in London on Christmas Eve there wasn't much choice for a nice but inexpensive meal - many restaurants were closed. Fantasia Palace was a good find, moderately priced and tasty food.

It is a Cypriot Greek place which serves the traditional greek cuisine in a warm atmosphere. The food was decent without being exceptional, and the service was warm and welcoming. A good option for a casual lunch if you happen to be in the area.

Food is good and service very kind. However the offer stated as the price for sharing, but they charged £18.50 for each one. Be alert.
