Kalamari Closing This Week After Three Decades on High Road
Greek restaurant was an established local favourite
Kalamari opened on Chiswick High Road in 1995
June 23, 2024
One of Chiswick’s longest surviving restaurants is set to close its doors later this week.
Kalamari Greek Taverna opened on the High Road near the junction with Goldhawk Road in 1995 and has become something of a local institution.
Run by the Gula family for the best part of three decades, the food and atmosphere made it a favourite of many people living in the area including John Humphrys and Vanessa Redgrave.
A closing date has yet to be confirmed but Addie Gula says that Kalamari will be shut by this Thursday (27 June).
The new owners are planning to convert the venue into a Turkish restaurant.
