"It's a bit like a dirty martini, explained our server, who was one of those warm, bright, commanding, knowledgable souls who, in a hospitality setting, is worth her weight in drachma. This invigorating, mega-bitter tipple of vodka and vermouth laced with piney, herbaceous mastiha, seaweed and kalamata olive brine is the cocktail equivalent of being rescued by the RNLI: salty, breathtaking and head-spinning."
"If Scylla herself were ever to turn up at Cylla, dogs' heads barking and tail flapping, they'd have to seat her in one of the gorgeous private booths at the front as you enter the room. These are the spots to grab if you want a little privacy, which is why we eschewed the long, prettily lit cocktail bar and headed straight to this cosy hidey-hole for a round of Poseidon's Wrath."
Cylla is a classy Greek restaurant on Newhall Street, Birmingham, themed after Scylla from Greek myth. The interior features gorgeous private booths at the front offering privacy, plus a long, prettily lit cocktail bar. The staff are warm, bright, commanding, and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience. Signature cocktails include Poseidon's Wrath — a mega-bitter vodka and vermouth mix with mastiha, seaweed and kalamata olive brine — alongside sweeter honey-, peach- and meringue-based drinks. Dishes such as prawn saganaki deliver firm king prawns in a balanced garlic and ouzo tomato sauce. The venue blends high drama with elegant, playful Greek character and remains busy midweek.
