Alexander The Great Restaurant πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·

Proper Greek cooking on Plender Street that actually tastes like someone's mum made it, not a tourist trap.

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Camden that doesn't feel like Camden at all, walking into somewhere that smells unmistakably of oregano, grilled meat and proper olive oil. Alexander The Great does the whole Greek playbookβ€”from saganaki that arrives sizzling and screaming to slow-cooked stifado that makes you forget the weather outside. It's the kind of place where you'll see regulars nodding at the owner, families gathering round shared plates, and groups of mates getting progressively louder as the retsina flows. The room itself is unpretentious: warm lighting, simple wooden furniture, the sort of honest setup that lets the food do the talking. Expect to spend around Β£20-30 per head and feel genuinely looked after.
