More than any other cuisine, Greek food has the power to transport me to sunnier climates.
One dip of a bowl of pitta and tzatziki and I’m sat in a seaside taverna in Crete.
One munch of a gyros and I’m taken back to Faliraki and the memory of my brand new white Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, which I soiled with kebab grease on day one of a reluctant lads holiday when I was 18.
On a sunny autumnal day, the window seats at Wellfield Road’s Saraztro are a lovely spot to watch the world go by.
With a menu focused on well-priced Greek cooking, dishes include grilled whole calamari (£11.95), vegetarian moussaka (£12.95), and grilled halloumi (£10.95). There’s also a few wildcard options in there including a handmade cheeseburger (£8.95) and a chicken salad (£11.95).
Bottles of crisp Mythos (£3.80) and Efes (£3.80) sent us on our way to sunnier shores.

Out of our two small plates, a trio of meatballs (£5.95) were the star. Gloriously tender, light-textured and well-seasoned, they were coated in a thick, fruity tomato sauce and served with crisp and soft griddled pitta bread.
Thick taramasalata (£4.50) was good too, nicely balancing salty fish roe, olive oil and a balancing zip of lemon juice.
Onto mains, and a pair of chicken souvlaki (£11.95) skewers were nicely golden and delicately charred yet still commendably juicy. Served alongside thick and creamy fragrant dill-twanged tzatziki, super crisp paprika dusted chips and a half moon of olive oil fried pitta bread, which was pleasingly reminiscent of fried bread, it was a very enjoyable dish.
A good Greek salad (£7.95) was well-loaded with cubes of tangy feta, fresh tomato, cucumber, yellow pepper, kalamata olives, and red onion that was dressed with olive oil and oregano.
We had a very tasty lunch at Saraztro. Their Greek food hits the spot when you’re looking for a spot of summery cooking on Wellfield Road.
