"Mazi is one of those restaurants where a bottle of wine is always in order. This Greek spot, just behind Notting Hill Gate station, has rustic wooden tables, faux shutters on the walls, and a charming outdoor terrace. It’s equally as perfect for dinner with the family, the most romantic date this side of Santorini, or a laid-back birthday involving a whole lot of tzatziki. If you can’t get a booking or are looking for something a little more casual, head to their sister, Suzi Tros, two doors up Hillgate Street.
