Kamari

Kamari trades as a single Greek deli and café at 25 Westow Street in Crystal Palace, run by George, who was born in Greece and has lived in London for decades. The counter holds artisan Greek cheeses, olives, baklava and spanakopita made to traditional recipes, alongside Greek beer and spirits not commonly stocked by nearby shops. Customers can eat in or take away, choosing from hot and cold Greek dishes prepared through the day rather than a fixed set menu. The shop was featured on Greek national broadcaster ERT1, a point George mentions when asked about the business's reputation among London's Greek community. Baklava and spanakopita are the two items customers most often ask for by name, according to reviews left by regulars. A click-and-collect service is planned to extend the shop's reach beyond passing footfall on Westow Street.
