Translated in English as ‘together,’ Mazi is set to revive the sharing culinary traditions of Greece at its beautiful Notting Hill location. The restaurant is opening in May with the aim of turning out-dated misconceptions of Greek cuisine on their head.

Mazi is set to offer Greek fine dining by combining traditional produce and classic recipes with a modern twist.

As well as the enviable advantage of a beautiful back garden with 24 covers, Mazi will also feature a deli with a selection of authentic Greek delicacies such as Fava from Santorini, Thyme & Pine Wild Honey from Thassos, Organic Saffron from Krocus Kozani, Giant Elephant Beans from Prespes, White Truffle Oil from Pindos, Handmade Orzo as well as wine and premium spirits, all imported from artisan producers in Greece.

Diners will also feel at home by the presence of photos, produce crates, open storage cubes showing the colourful array of Greek produce and a large communal table situated in the entrance. During the day, choose from options such as traditional Greek coffee, fresh fruit juices, Semolina and Cinnamon cake and Custard Mpougatsa.
