Pame GreekB+Worth Trying

135 Kensington Church St, London W8 7LP · Greek restaurant · 4.6/5 Google (468 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

A lively, welcoming Greek spot in Notting Hill with standout hospitality, crowd-pleasing classics, and a few service hiccups—great for casual meals, but not for those seeking culinary adventure or flawless execution.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Pame Greek delivers reliable Greek comfort food with solid food quality and warm, attentive service that create a genuinely welcoming neighborhood experience. However, inconsistent execution during busy periods and cramped conditions at peak times prevent it from reaching higher territory. The restaurant excels at what it sets out to do—serve authentic Greek classics in a convivial setting—making it a worthwhile choice for casual dining and family gatherings in the area.

Restaurant Summary

Step into Pame Greek and you’ll find yourself swept up in a warm, bustling slice of the Mediterranean right in Notting Hill. Staff like Alma and Vanessa are the heart of the experience, greeting guests with genuine hospitality and guiding them through a menu of Greek classics. The décor is cheerful and sun-drenched, with Greek music and colorful touches that make you feel like you’ve stumbled onto a holiday taverna. Most diners rave about the freshness and flavor of the food, especially the feta in filo pastry with honey, moussaka, and generous gyros platters. Portions are hearty, and the vibe is relaxed—perfect for casual meals, family gatherings, or a pre-concert bite. Culinarily, Pame Greek leans traditional, focusing on comforting Greek staples rather than culinary innovation. Expect familiar favorites like souvlaki, moussaka, and Greek salads, all prepared with care but without avant-garde twists. This is a spot for those who crave the classics and appreciate a friendly, informal atmosphere. Adventurous eaters or those seeking cutting-edge cuisine may find the menu a bit safe, but for most, the authenticity and warmth more than make up for it. For families, Pame Greek is a solid choice. The menu features plenty of kid-friendly options—think grilled meats, fries, and simple salads—and several reviews mention successful group celebrations and private events. While there’s no explicit kids’ menu, the approachable flavors and flexible staff make it easy for families to find something everyone will enjoy. Just be aware that space can be tight during busy times, and high chairs or extra room for strollers may be limited.
