About Kalamaras Greek Taverna

Fully Licensed Greek Mediterranean cuisine, open 7 days a week.

Kalamaras Greek Taverna Description

Established in 1966 and made famous by the Beatles, Mick Jagger, Dusty Springfield, Telly Savalas, Peter Sellers and his friends and many other icons of that time. Kalamaras has catered to a wide range of clients, including many actors and models as well as locals, ever since.

Kalamaras’ long-standing reputation as “London’s finest Greek restaurant”, “a hidden jewel in the backstreets of Bayswater” is heightened by the stunning décor, echoing the beautiful colours of the Greek islands, white and blue.

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.

Originally a “Bring your own wine” establishment, we are now fully licensed and offer the finest Greek wines along with the excellent Mythos beer.

Souvlaki is the term used to describe “little skewers” of meat that are marinated in a wonderful red wine marinade and then grilled. Making this dish combines all that is wonderful about eating a greek authentic delicacy. The smell of fresh cut bell peppers and red onions brings a vibrancy to the air that is mouthwatering. Above that, the flavors that the meat are marinated in leave you with a bright and zesty taste in your mouth. #greekfood #mediterraneandiet #souvlaki #GreekRestaurantLondon
