Mazi - London

Mazi is a wonderful Greek restaurant around notting hill that is perfect for a refreshing eating on the sporadic sundays that we can have in london (or even if there is no sunshine) if the weather allows, there is a beautiful outdoor area where they can enjoy eating al fresco. if not, the inner of mazi is as beautiful with its whitewashed walls!

London is full of Greek cuisine, but mazi has been my favorite for some time. inspired by the ancient Greeks, this charming restaurant brings together classic dishes that are distributed for generations and a contemporary flair for presentation and style. the whole concept of mazi revolves around the fact that their dishes are to be shared by everyone in the table, which was perfect for my friend and I. when we arrived, we were greeted by our friendly server, who was more than happy to explain the menu. we started with perfectly grilled aubergine, with a hauch of soy and thymian honey and an authentic tzatziki with only one prise garlic that were uniquely presented in rustic glass. we also shared a hot plate of feta tempura, served with lemon jam and caper meringue. I loved the mix of creamy feta with the crispy teig, and the skill of the lemon and sweet of the caper were on the place. for one of the main things we had grilled otopus, which was tasty and perfectly charred, and the criminal potato salat and olivenhain were the perfect companions. my absolute favourite part was the Greek desserts we shared, but I was more than satisfied to eat them all. the galactoboureko was delicious, the custard creamy and the teig light and flocky, with a hauch of sweet sirup. we also enjoyed frozen Greek yogurt, with candied quitten and a zimt haferkrüppel. yum! mazi is the best modern representation of the Greek cuisine in london, and the service and the staff were excellent and courteous. I loved the way and wise how the food was presented, which really tied the rustic mood of the restaurant decor in the food. I recommend mazi for anyone who wants to flee to Greece through his taste buds!

Very comfortable and cozy restaurant with delicious modern Greek meals. the menu is very kreatiw and all the dishes we tried were excellent. it is a little expensive for relatiw small portions, but they taste that eating is really high. the atmosphere is very warm and lively, feels very comfortable there, but it can sometimes become a little loud, as the tables are very close to each other. the service was ok. would definitely recommend this place for someone who would like to taste Greek food that is more than what they traditionally receive!

It was an intimate affair with the six of us sitting outside in the sweet little garden, shared boards on tellers of delicious Greek food and tzatziki martinis. I am a great fan of Greek eating, especially since my trip to kefalonia on the Greek islands last year, so I was very excited about the rehearsal of the kitchen of the world famous chef george ve

I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Mazi, not least because I was curious about the concept of Modern Greek Food. Now, that is in no way meant to be insulting, but from my own visits to Greece I know is as a country where the ingredients, particularly vegetables and fish, are outstanding and where the cuisine is simple, traditional and incredibly well flavoured. So why try to ‘cheffy’ it up? Well of course, there is no reason why not. As long as it’s about taking traditional recipes and genuinely working on how to improve them with modern cooking techniques and adapt them for a modern palate. And that is just what Mazi has achieved. The restaurant itself is charming. Very fresh, blue and white décor, a pretty terrace with fig tree, vines and olive tree and shelves of greek produce. And, the food was superb. We started by sampling the ‘Cold Jars’. Pretty preserving jars of traditional with a twist and rather less than traditional meze
