Lanterns Restaurant

Lanterns is somewhere that doesn’t immediately draw your attention from the street, but i’m glad we discovered this place. it’s greek menu combined with restaurant favourites is a great mix of food that will please everyone. i went camembert, mixed kebab and banana fritters. all of which were tasty, though i’d say the camembert jam underneath probably would be better substituted with chutney and a tiny bit of salad on the side. admittedly i would have liked a little more meat to rice ratio with the main too. the service was decent, some happy looking waitresses who were always quick to tend to us. we were near the grill area which got borderline too hot for one of the lads and he had to go outside, though he was wearing a jumper (and he never informed the staff). another minor point is the seating which has lost its leather covering which devalued the place, which i wouldn’t particularly care about but the bill was slightly steep. overall though i was happy with the food and service, there’s a couple of minor things need addressed so 4 stars for me.

Visited lanterns last night and was so pleased we did. we had a lovely booth, which was really comfortable. the food was absolutely delicious. i had the lamb kebab which i would recommend, it was so tasty and tender. lovely rice and greek salad with it. my son (20) had the fries loaded with meatballs, which he thoroughly enjoyed. lovely atmosphere and service too. a real gem, we look forward to visiting again.

We chose lanterns as a last minute choice for a birthday meal, without giving it much thought, only we haven't been there before. we were quite pleased with it. the calamari was superb, fresh and delicious. the scallops are served in a very rich creamy, generously cheese topped sauce. for mains we ordered kleftico and pork belly. both were cooked to perfection and beyond generous. unfortunately, we didn't have space left for dessert, but there was a very generous selection! so good luck 😁

Popped by last night, lanterns were very busy but managed to squeeze us in as a walk in. service was fantastic, in fact our lemonade didn’t have any syrup in it and it was zero issue or fuss to get us a replacement. food was beautiful. presentation was very good, the flavours were amazing, and the prices were very reasonable.
