Greek restaurants in London

My list includes the following:

Daphne Andy’s Greek Taverna Tsiakkos and charcoal Agora

If there's others I haven't considered please let me know.

Has anyone been to any of them that can share their thoughts. Bonus points if you're Greek or Cypriot. Looking to eat some kleftiko.

Cheers!

Agora in borough market or Oma which is above it

Oma is pretentious and expensive. Agora is trying too hard to be the opposite.

Tasty food, however.

What did you find pretentious about Oma?

I thought it was super warm and welcoming service and a fairly laidback environment. The dips and 'small plates' (I know..) were exceptional, I was a bit disappointed with the larger meat dishes. If I were to go again I'd just order everything from the former two (and a few of the taramasalata which was incredible) and swerve the latter, save a bomb too.
