Bouzouki By Night

You walk into Bouzouki By Night and immediately clock the warm lighting, the smell of grilled meat and oregano, and the kind of noise that tells you people are genuinely enjoying themselves. This is Greek food done without pretence—no deconstructed mezze nonsense, just straightforward, well-executed dishes that taste like someone's nan made them. The owners know what they're doing, and it shows in everything from the charred halloumi to the lamb that falls off the bone. It's the sort of place you'll find yourself back in regularly, whether you're on Princess Street for a night out or specifically hunting for proper Mediterranean food in town.
