Evi's
Included In
You can book a table at Evi’s, but most people stumble into this East Dulwich spot as walk-ins—to get out of the rain, to placate a scooter-wielding child, or because they can’t be bothered to cook and find themselves going full-moth at the sight of flickering candles and perfect chips. However you arrive—soaked to the skin, or with a child that insists on ramming strangers with their tasseled vehicle—you’ll be greeted warmly at this Greek restaurant and treated to the kind of life-affirming courgette fritters that’ll turn you into a regular.

There are booths tucked away towards the back, where tables of four order gluggable Greek wine that threatens 9am meetings. And towards the front, where it’s slightly lighter but still comfortingly cave-like, hastily arranged Tuesday gossip sessions are sponsored by meltingly soft pork skewers. As you lean over for another swipe of taramasalata, your friendly server checks in, asking if you want the Gorillaz soundtrack drifting in from the kitchen lowered and nudges you towards a plate of pickles so sharp they'll set off a coughing fit. Trying to pry yourself out of this excellent spot is like wading through the thick honey drizzled on your halloumi slab: almost impossible.
