Absolutely amazing real homemade food, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Excellent service, friendly staff and a nice relaxing atmosphere. Perfect place to stop of for a snack, full meal or for a quick cup of coffee (which is also excellent by the way). You must try the orange sponge cake wow!

Absolutely amazing food. The moussaka was the best one I've had in England. I had tiramisu for a dessert and it's up there too. Super friendly staff, authentic home cooking and freshly made. Service with a smile and I left with one too! I could not recommend this place enough. Thank you for a fantastic meal, I live in London, but whenever I'm in Peterborough I'll be eating here.

New spot for breakfast! I went with my best friend and we had veggie breakfast😍.the food was homemade and it was delicious ,the coffee was amazing, for me, the best in town so far .We also liked the design of the cups and plates ,very vintage and also the decoration. The only thing I would add in the restaurant is the menu where we could have a look before we order but other than that the staff was amazing ,the girl was lovely. We will definitely come back again

We went to another place first for Mothers Day which was a bit of a disaster (Basil Fawlty level) and decided to pop in here on the way home as it was raining. Turns out we were missing out on a gem. The desserts were superb (on par with what we had in Santorini) and the prices about a third of what we would have paid at the other place. We will definitely keep popping back, as we saw some of the plates for the mains menu and they looked amazing too.

Too expensive for having pastry and they served with old salad mix. Did not give us any bills, no prices on labels and they just charge as they want.extra 3.50 for just for small old salad mix.should have take away just the pastry which said 3.50.and they charge extra 3.50 for small cream and small spoon of salad mix .Told us it was 6.50 when we ask guy from the counter and ,then charged 6.95 from the card. no bills . Eventhough you do not have many food choices there.no wonder Italian place next to it crowded always but not the greek place

We were first time visitors to Peterborough, and had wandered off the beaten track and found ourselves in this quirky arcade and hungry! A few tempting eating places, but we decided to go for the Greek option and something light and fresh. We went for the spanakopita, gemista, baked aubergine, and a greek salad all for sharing. I noticed our server pop to the nearby greengrocer, and we were treated to the freshest salad possible with a huge slab of feta, and the delicious main dishes. A lovely lunch, and nice friendly people!

Best coffee Ive had in many years. Cant get over how good it was. My chicken souvlaki wrap was fresh flavorful and well portioned, but Id ask for chips on the side next time. My companion had the beef moussaka and I tried it - excellent! The tiramisu was really good. Staff was friendly and quick without hovering, and the space/decor was casual and pleasant. Ill be back frequently for the coffee - Im sure Ill make my way through the whole menu! PS - we were able to pay on a card, so its no longer a cash only place.

We enjoyed our food and the lady who served us was friendly despite being busy working on her own. What we were disappointed with was that it didn t seem there was a menu available and it s always nice to see a list of items, perhaps a brief description of the food and the prices of course. As such I paid at the till and I must admit it felt a bit awkward. I did verify prices though and there was no issues there. A couple of other things. When we first visited the venue just over an hour before we came back to eat we met a man who we think was the boss as the lady later told me she wasn t I m fairly sure it was him. When we asked about food options he told us what was available at the time but that if we came back in an hour there would be a meat moussaka and halloumi available however when we came back the man wasn t present and the lady told us only the vegetarian moussaka was available and there wasn t any halloumi either. We felt naturally a bit deceived since we d made a decision to return based on what we d been told. I was visiting with my elderly Grand mother and my Mum so it wasn t really an option to suddenly change plan and find somewhere else so we stuck to plan. We were also not too happy to have to request serviettes as only my Mum got one. I appreciate the lady was working on her own but usually things like that are on the table or provided when the cutlery is handed out etc. We also ordered a takeaway moussaka for my Grandad. When I enquired about the pricing I was told that moussaka without a side salad was I think £6.00 although the lady didn t seem certain. If that is correct I paid I believe £3.45 for what was basically some lettuce with dressing. If I had known I could order the moussaka on its own to takeaway and been offered that I would ve appreciated that since it didn t seem great value for the salad. A nice place, it s clean, friendly, inviting and furnished well but a few things I hope they can work on to improve.

I had a very delightful afternoon visiting this wonderful Greek restaurant. Theo, the owner was so friendly and attentive. His homemade food is absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken souvlaki, leek,spinach and feta pastry and also tried a few homemade dips and dessert. I cant thank Theo enough for a very pleasant experience. Cant wait to go back and enjoy more delightful treats with my family. Thank you so much Theo. See you soon!!!

I walked into this Greek restaurant at the recommendation of a good friend some time ago . I keep coming back ever since and every time I m in Peterborough. The food is divine , the price is affordable but most importantly the atmosphere by which one is surrounded from start to finish makes the dining in or take away experience an absolute must . I would highly recommend this place to anyone who s interested in deliciously divine home made style food. Theo ,the owner I believe , is always welcoming you with a big smile and makes sure at the end of your stay or stop you leave his restaurant with an even bigger smile on your face . I personally believe that the restaurant excels in vegetarian dishes which is partly why I return to this place but meat used in other dishes is halal , a formidable plus , too. Thank you Theo for your hospitality.

Called in today for a quick lunch with our 2 young children while visiting the Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough, and massively impressed with this lovely little Greek cafe! We had a selection of food, both savoury and sweet (as well as coffees) and all were absolutely delicious. Would particularly recommend the custard pastry! The owners were also extremely friendly/helpful, and we really wish them success with this business. Well definitely be back next time we visit Peterborough.

We called into Peterborough today while visiting the Neme railway, and were so pleased we found Greek Art cafe.

All amazing and freshly baked. The coffee was great too. A must visit when in Peterborough.

This place is lovely. Mum and I pop in for food about once a month. The staff are so friendly, and the guy is very handsome!! He always recognises me away from the shop too, so thats nice. Food is amazing, and a great price too. Also, mum has discovered that she LOVES tzatziki!! Visit and have an iced latte, and a cake. You wont regret it, I promise!!! Vegetarian options: Their food choices are mostly, or all vegetarian, I think. Weve only ever eaten vegetarian there, so I guess that says it all. Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of room for a wheelchair, and seating just outside, so thats good.
