This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
The menu at Konaki, located on Sauchiehall Street, is an embarrassment of Greek riches, all prepared with care and attention. While it may sound a bit much for a starter, the skordalia – mashed potato with garlic and olive oil – is delicious in its simplicity. The spinach and goat’s cheese wrapped in filo pastry is equally good, and not too heavy. For mains, the stifado – beef stew with red wine and onions – is simply wonderful, with the meat cooked to perfection and just enough kick from the wine. If you can’t decide what to have, try the £16.95 deal for a selection of starters and mains with a choice of sweet and hot drink. Desserts are a slight disappointment, and don’t stray far from the usual suspects of baklava and ice-cream, (go for the baklava, dripping in honey, every time) but this is a minor flaw. Excellent service makes dining here an all-round great experience.
- High point: Fresh ingredients, carefully cooked
- Low point: Wine list could be more extensive

Good food. We have been a few times and have not had a bad dish yet. The liver is well worth trying as it was very nicely cooked. The only downside is the small selection of deserts.
