"I recently visited Liosis Cafe Bar for breakfast with my grandparents, hoping for a delightful morning of catching up. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. The main issues centered around the quality of the full English breakfast. The plate arrived cold, and the bacon was notably anaemic. The sausages were of poor quality, and the poached eggs were disappointingly hard and overcooked. At a price point of £10 per breakfast, the overall quality fell short of expectations, leaving me feeling quite upset. While the coffee and juice were acceptable, the lack of attention to detail in the preparation of the main course overshadowed any positives. Additionally, our table wasn't checked on throughout the meal, denying us the opportunity to address our concerns with the staff and give them a chance to rectify the issues. In summary, my visit to Liosis Cafe Bar for breakfast was marred by subpar food quality and a lack of attentive service. For the price paid, I expected a more enjoyable experience. I hope that these points can serve as constructive feedback for improvement."

"I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a while since the reviews were great and we live nearby. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. We had to send back a pizza because it was undercooked in the middle and soggy. My Chicken Kiev had visible pink tendon and I was unsure if it was cooked properly. The manager was kind enough to remove both dishes from our bill, but overall it was a letdown. My youngest son only ate two slices of his pizza and later complained of feeling sick. We left most of our meals uneaten, did not receive them in to-go boxes, and the manager did not bring it up. This was a poor experience and we will not be returning."

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."
