Kalamaras Tavern Greek & Mediterranean Restaurant London

Since being established in 1966 we have been serving authentic Greek food of the highest standard which together with our friendly service has given Kalamaras its long-standing reputation as “London’s finest Greek restaurant” and being “a hidden jewel in the backstreets of Bayswater.”

With greatly improved facilities such as air-conditioning, central heating, an air extraction and purification unit and a state-of-the-art charcoal barbeque, visitors will enjoy the unique, healthy and authentic flavours of Greece, using the freshest and finest ingredients, served in a relaxed setting.

Mediterranean food has well established healthy properties, which come from using olive oil, which is a monounsaturated oil and so much healthier than animal or processed fats, and fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood and moderate consumption of red wine.

According to a study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in December 2014 a Mediterranean diet helps you live longer by protecting the telomeres: the structures that guard the ends of our chromosomes.

Eat a varied Mediterranean diet for longer, healthier telomeres which lead to a longer healthier life.

Review analysis
food  

In the duration of my dining experience I witnessed 3 sets of customers leave having discussed the appalling quality of their food with the manager, one couple was so furious they refused to pay and threatened to stand at the top of the street warding away potential customers, and I soon found out why.

Words cannot describe the quality of this food, but to say the place should be shut down or burnt to the ground would be suitable.

Horrendous, vomit inducing nightmare of a place.
