"This Greek spot feels like the kind of restaurant where plates get smashed, not least because its covered courtyard is a riot of birthday sing-songs and gooey slow burnt pork shoulder. Inside Tsiakkos & Charcoal, things are endearingly hectic, as smoke from the grill wafts over tables of cheersing families or boozy dates, while the stylish offspring of the Notting Hill set escape for a cigarette out front. And at £35 a head for the meze menu, it’s a no-brainer for a big group meal." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
