Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The feta dip is rich and well-received; some reviewers found the raw garlic quite dominant, so adjusting the amount to taste is worth considering.
- Ease of prep: Most found it straightforward, though some noted the chopping takes a bit of time.
- Suggestions: Add extra feta for a more pronounced flavour, and consider toasting the focaccia a little longer for a crispier result.
- Leftovers: Reviewers enjoyed it enough to order twice in a row, suggesting it holds up well as a shareable dish.
- Serving: One reviewer recommended adding pine nuts as a topping, which could add a pleasant crunch to the finished dip.
