Acropolis in Bradford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best Greek Food I've tried in England.

We were recommended by our Airbnb host, and we were not disappointed. The room, service and food were excellent. We really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and even the drizzle overlooking Shipley didn't damped our spirits!

What an amazing little Greek restaurant with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The “Godly Burgers” which have a very fitting name where phenomenal, definitely worth a try!!!!

Excellent place for authentic Greek food. Great, friendly service and cheap excellent food.

Had food in the restaurant a few weeks ago and it was absolutely beautiful! Freshly cooked food, amazing friendly service and good quality for money. Offers take away also and it hasn’t disappointed. I don’t think I will ever order any other take away food apart from here. My husband left his coat in the restaurant and after contacting them a week later, we picked up the coat and it had been washed!! I cannot speak more highly of this place. They should offer the mixed shavings in a box with salad and pitta etc rather than in the pitta! Just a suggestion and I’m sure if I called them for this, they wouldn’t disappoint. Thank you 🙏🏻

Great Greek experience with a stunning view of Baildon.

Amazing time here! The food and service were incredible! Will definitely be back very soon 😊

absolutely gorgoeus food, very generous on fillings, may be pricey but it is wprth every oenny if your looking for a good bit of food to fill you up

First time we’ve been, we ate in and it was beautiful! Portions were huge, meat was perfectly cooked! Would definitely recommend and return

Brilliant food and service would definitely recommend

Strongly recommend this restaurant, service and food is on 5*. Definitely they should change menu card , picture off food will help choosing food

Good value for money, and good service without being over-bearing. Tried two of the weekend specials on the servers recommendation, and thoroughly enjoyed. The spanakopita come baked or fried, and we went with fried. Got 3 courses each and enjoyed the lot. Bring cash for sure, they don't have a card machine. Visited Saturday 20/07/24

A busy Saturday night and the Acropolis were short of staff. A sweating Maitre D' and a young inexperienced waitress were front of house attempting to cope. On arrival I noticed you can look in from the street directly into the kitchen and watch meals being prepared, which was encouraging. However the decor looked tired and plastic fake grass on the steps up to the first floor restaurant with poor lighting and a wonky balcony rail would not have passed Health & Safety inspection. You can book in advance, but not reserve a table. All the window tables were taken on our arrival, so we sat in the gloomier centre of the room and squinted at the tiny print on the menu. The smiley main man arrived and started reeling off the specials available. We couldn't cope with the verbal overload so these passed us by. The volume of the Greek music being played didn't help either. I noticed the glazed looks on the faces of other customers he did this to as well. Quite why they don't have a blackboard on the wall with specials like many others do was rather puzzling. We asked to be moved to an available window table, which was quickly accomodated. We both had a starter and main course which came in a decent time and could not be faulted for flavour, quantity or presentation. My mixed kebabs were excellent. We explained we were in a celebratory mood at the end of the meal so I asked our waitress for a 7 star Metaxa Greek Brandy and my partner an Ouzo. She then brought me another glass of Pino Grigio and patently didn't know what Metaxa was. After some intervention and explanation to her from the Matrie D', the required spirit appeared and we were not charged for either. Apparently she had been working there for 3 months. We watched downstairs after our meal (whilst waiting for our taxi) as the kitchen attempted to service both the restaurant customers and the takeaway orders. It was organised chaos, but at least there was no attempt to hide it. I like to see restaurant customers given priority - but this is not always the case. The staff at the Acropolis in Shipley work really hard to give you a good experience but I'm afraid on this, our first occasion it wasn't. A large party of 10 arrived at 8pm with a baby and I suspect this rather overwhelmed the small team to the detriment of the other diners. £71 for two. At £6.50 a glass for the basic wine this added to the cost, so a bottle between two may be better. More experienced staff, better decor and quieter music would have made our first experience better. The food was excellent.

Amazing food and friendly staff definitely will come back! A little Greece in Shipley with Amazing views from the restaurant upstairs and they have a lot of different Greek wine list and of course Mythos from Greece what else would you want? YAMAS 🇬🇷

Great gyro again from the acropolis, excellent service in the restaurant too

Excellent food and service. We went on. Tuesday and it was quiet but it didn’t spoil the experience. I would definitely recommend and will be back.

Lovely place for tea. Hidden gem. Thank you for having us

First time having greek food. Lovely place for tea in the upstairs restaurant, greek vibes in centre of shipley. Hidden gem Thank you for having us

We ordered take out tonight to try not yet had chance to come to the premises, wow from the delivery gentleman was so lovely telling me all about the place, then eating the food it was so nice, I will be ordering for you again and look forwards to been able to come see the restaurant in person, thank you all for great food tonight

If the sun had been shining I could have closed my eyes and thought that I was in Greece . Friendly people , good food , Greek music and the offer of an ouzo . A great find .

Went for a takeaway meal this afternoon. I have been a couple of times and the staff are always friendly. The food is always beautiful and freshly cooked and Healthy options. I will continue to support this friendly and local business. Thank you guy's.

Lovely food and friendly service, if it wasn't a cold, rainy November night you would have thought you was in Corfu.

Really, really great place. Beautiful upstairs seating and great food. It is cash only, but there is a cash point only round the corner. We had the sharing platter which I would definitely recommend. Our waiter was really knowledgable about all the dishes and specials too. Hidden gem for sure!

From the location, a busy main road, you could be forgiven for dismissing this restaurant, but we gave it a go & we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the staff were really welcoming and friendly and we will return.

Great service, great food, friendly staff. Not sure what some reviews are on about because the food, service and atmosphere was just great, desserts were also good.

Beautiful authentic food in a lovely restaurant. Really enjoyed our starter, the meat platter and desserts - lovely cocktails too and great service! Will be back 😊

First visit this afternoon and absolutely delighted! Doesn't look much from the road but the upstairs restaurant is a real hidden gem with lovely views across to Shipley Glen. Food was excellent and service was friendly. So good we've booked to go back with family later this week!

Halloumi wrap and lamb skewer wraps delicious. Mythos beer a perfect beverage to go with the food. Service prompt. Hope to visit again.

Food was delicious, definitely will come again.

It wasn’t busy but it is a week night. Staff were so lovely and attentive, we were made to feel welcome! Now the pork and chicken gyros…wow! The charcoal taste was incredible, so fresh and tasty. It tasted as if it was cooked on a BBQ. We will definitely return. Thank you

Disgusting food. Always under cooked! Staff are rude and clueless! Owner doesnt pay his staff properly and thrives of child labour

Had a wonderful meal tonight the food was amazing .the young lady that served us was so helpful and friendly definitely recommend

Ordered a gyros for takeaway at the shop. This might be the best gyros I had in a long time. The food was exceptionally good, especially for the price. The people running the place are friendly. Will be definitely coming back.

Had a meal here tonight for the first time under the new management. It was amazing. The food was excellent, the service was great and all served with a big smile. I would recommend the Acropolis to anyone who enjoys good food at a reasonable price with great service. For a more personal recommendation, try the sharing meat platter, you will not be disappointed.

So glad Acropolis is back open, the stuffed pepper and mixed gyros was so enjoyable

I ordered takeaway from Acropolis the food was the closest I've had to Greek food. The only thing I would add is that the chicken shewers and salad lacked flavor

We ordered online on the website from acropolis and they rejected my order. My 2 kids were very upset as they were looking forward to some yummy Greek food. I am certainly surprised as they usually accepted my orders. Hopefully i do get my refund within 5 days.

The food was excellent with plenty of choice, the service was top notch, the price was good, would highly recommend for a quality Greek meal.

Tasty, authentic food; friendly, helpful staff; delightful restaurant area and very reasonable prices. Deserves to be busier (but glad it's not).

Having visited the takeaway for gyros many times, which are amazing, we have tried the restaurant on a couple of occasions for a family meal. It was a shame to see it so quiet on a Saturday night, no complaints about the food. It is more of a Grill style menu with a range of meats done really well, freshly cooked and succulent. A range of Greek starters, dips etc were nice. Limited wine selection ( some Greek wine would be nice). The young waitress on her own did a great job for our party, although there were a couple of environmental issues with the building, it did not spoil our evening. Do give this local business a try and support them.

Where to start? The menus we were given were tatty and dirty. The drinks menu was a printed sheet which was filthy, old and scrunched up like a piece of old newspaper. There was no mention of wine, but lots of cocktails. - ‘Sorry, no white wine, only red or rose’ Then, ‘No spanakopita, no tyropita, no potatoes and NO Lamb’ - in a Greek restaurant!! The menu wasn’t at all what you would expect; there was no moussake, no kleftiko, no stifado, in fact nothing that actually involved cooking. If it couldn’t be grilled or fried, it wasn’t there. The hummus was the most tasteless any of us have ever tasted. The pitas were good, the pork, the chicken and the beef patties were ok. They did go out and source some cheap Pinot Grigio, for which they charged £18. They managed to serve two large beers, but then only small bottles were available. The lights in the toilet were broken and there were battery candles instead - really not acceptable or hygienic. The server was fantastic, a young woman doing her best in trying circumstances, repeating the lines she’d been told to say, but the best line was ‘I’m sorry but deliveries come on a Friday for the weekend.’ So we had booked for 6 people on a Thursday night but no one could be bothered to make sure they had anything in store. It was a special occasion, in memory of a loved one who loved Greek food! We had lots of laughs at how poor it was, but really simply not good enough. We won’t be back.

A rare dinner put just my wife and I, this place did not dissapoint. Taking time for ourselves in our very busy schedules is not something we often get to do. We chose to try this resteraunt after driving past a week or so ago. Took us back to the ambience of our first holiday together in Greece pre covid. The staff were polite, friendly, happy to accommodate dietary requirements and openly shared eith us the history of the resteruant. The food was delicious, portions are huge. We ordered starters, I had dolmades and my wife had a feta and spinach pastry dish, we then shared the hot meat platter from the grill priced at £40.00. Meat was tender and flavourful, salads were fresh and zesty. It was far too much food for us both but now knowing the portion size, will be mindful while ordering next time. There definitely will be a next time and we plan to bring family and friends.

Absolutely top class food, had the sharing platter, so much & so tasty, glad they've got more drinks options now too, had a proper chilled night, will definitely be back 👌👌👌👌

Beautiful food, attentive staff and huge portions. Food took us right back to Greek holiday. Had a lovely evening with lovely atmosphere!

Great, fresh food and a wonderfully friendly, warm welcome.

Visited Sunday evening. Lovely meal, we had the platter for two and had more than enough! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff.

Everything we ordered was delicious and freshly made. We are keen to try more so we will be back again soon!

Lovely Saturday night at acropolis! Food was to die for! The calamari and halloumi to start. Best calamari I have had for a long time! Perfectly cooked. Then the mixed and chicken gyros. Mains lush. Staff were extremely attentive. Great date night in Shipley. Will be sure to return if we are ever in the area!

Lovely authentic Greek food, everything you would expect. Reasonably priced, good service.

Food took us back to Santorini where we fell in love with gyros!

Our favourite Greek takeaway! Always consistent and high quality. Recommend the dips

Fantastic Greek food and excellent, lovely staff that looked after us all evening , they are a credit to this restaurant!!

Fantastic service and atmosphere. Really great food and portion size . Thanks so much ch !

We were looking for somewhere different to eat ss a foursome in Shipley. The food here is authentic and absolutely delicious. All in our party thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The business, I think, has been based around takeaways in the past, but courageously is trying to take it to a further level. You should keep this in mind because this is not silver service, but the main point is that the food is spot on. By the way, I tried a takeaway tonight (a week later), and it will now be my favourite takeaway meal. Highly recommended.

Fab Gyros fab portion very happy and full. Will be back 😀

Great little restraunt, authentic greek food and a great vibe.

Thought we would try this place . I can honestly say great venue and the food was 5* The portions were good and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had the mixed grill platter for 2 and traditional pork gyros and baklava . Absolutely fantastic food, way beyond our expectations and great value. I will definitely be coming again to try more if the menu and will be recommending this place to my friends .

Wonderful food, generous portions and reasonably priced, with lovely attention friendly service!

Absolutely fantastic food! There was a bit of a wait between courses but the lovely serving staff explained it and gave us a discount for our wait. Also the food was totally worth the wait, my husband was transported back to Crete with the dolmades and the Greek salad was absolutely delightful! We will definitely be back!

A real hidden gem of amazing Greek food in a restaurant above a takeaway that serves beautiful food with excellent friendly service. A very nice meal, good house wine and a nice atmosphere A definite recommendation!

Absolutely gorgeous food! Very tasty and satisfying. Dished up via big portions and which are very filling. Great value and customer services..

We visited this restaurant months ago and I meant to do a review. We are back tonight and it is as good as last time. The food is fantastic. Service is friendly and personable. My only suggestion is to have a good wine choice. Please support this local restaurant.

Very nice evening for a special occasion. Staff were attentive, friendly and responsive. Food was lovely and very large portions for the price - great value for money. Nice to speak to the owner afterwards which provided a personalised visit. Will definitely be returning! No pictures as the food was ‘inhaled’!! :-)

Me and my partner got a takeaway from acropolis, we had the chicken and halloumi gyros. Wow they were amazing! Staff were really friendly and the service was great. The gyros were so full and tasty, will definitely be visiting again soon😊

What I can I say? Brilliant atmosphere, lovely welcoming staff and delicious food. 1st time eating at the restaurant but had a few takeaways, I can honestly say one of my favourite places to eat. You won't regret trying the food here.

I brought my friend here for a meal who was visiting from America. We had the best meal. Portions were huge and everything was freshly cooked and very tasty. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The cocktails were also fantastic. Please give this small business a chance and you won't regret it.

ENJOY GREEK AMBIENCE FOOD AND DRINK..

Lovely staff happy and friendly and the food was very nice xx will definitely come again with family 😀

Very friendly staff. Amazing food and good value. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

Superb food and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend for very authentic and well cooked Greek food. Value for money was off the scale.

Really good meat platter and friendly responsive staff. Nice seating upstairs with a big open area.

Top notch gyros and wraps - authentic!

Best greek food I've had around and from a greek persons (my partner) she said "it taste just like home and the best ive been to in the uk so far". The staff were really nice, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was also spot on, they had greek music playing and the setting was really nice. Would definitely recommend if you like actual authentic greek food👌👌

My husband and I have been getting acropolis takeaways for the last 2-3 years and love them. Last night we decided to eat in for the first time. The restaurant is a lovely surprise with lofty ceilings, greek photos and music. The music was a tiny bit loud for me. We ate: Creamy mussels Halloumi Mixed grill platter for 2 Baklava The food was amazing. The creamy mussels were out of this world delicious. The platter was extraordinary. I love the baklava. We thought it was excellent value for money, in fact my husband thought they were undercharging for the platter. The chef had a bit of a chat with us on the way out which is always nice in my opinion. I've already recommended to others and we'll be back. If they decide to deliver to the Keighley area in future we'll be able to increase our takeaways! Thanks

Sensationally Good authentic Greek food cooked with love. Every meal from this place is like a gift upon your taste buds! Highly recommended as far from fast food as you can get but worth every penny.

£45 for this is a bit of a joke really. The three dips you see cost £7.50!!!!! Not the worst but honestly won't be paying these prices for the portion sizes again. Not to mention four or five starters on the menu were out of stock

Wierd location. Looks like a takeaway but there is a restaurant part to it on the top floor. The food is okay but astonishingly expensive for what it is. More costly to eat here than in a renowned eatery like Tapas, Shimla or Waterways.

Our first time ordering from here, after reading so many good reviews I was disappointed. We had two lamb gyros, what little lamb in there was over cooked and just tasted burnt. Far too many chips and not enough lamb (5 medium pieces) salad or dressing.

Had a really nice evening hear tonight. The food was gorgeous. The staff are friendly and attentive. Really lovely little restaurant.

Amazing food great service took me back to Greece 🇬🇷 definitely be back again thankyou ♥️

Me and my partner came here last night and what a lovely experience we had. The staff were so nice and the food was bloody beautiful! We had the meat mix sharer for 2 for £35, which was well worth it. We will definitely be coming back with friends.

Absolutely amazing food, staff extremely welcoming and the decor is very rustic/homey - my girlfriend and I were very happy with our visit.

Booked a table for 11 people. Had confirmation. Restaurant closed. No answer. Showing as open on Google. Poor.

Well if you closed your eyes, smelled the delicious food and listened to the music. You could actually be in Greece. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly staff. We had the grill platter for 2, which was a portion generous in flavour and size. The souvlaki, the chops, the sausage all cooked and seasoned to perfection. With dips, salad, chips and sauces. Lovely fairplay, I eat all over the country and this was on a par with the best I've had

Visited with my wife on a Sunday, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Aoife looked after us and she couldn't have done more. Lovely atmosphere, great staff, and above all the food was amazing.

Oh my god, the food here is amazing. The staff are all so kind and sweet, they gave me some cake for my birthday free of charge and played music and wished me a great day. A real sense of appreciation is felt here. I would also say to anyone who eats here come here on an empty stomach cause the portions are large and real good quality. I kid you not, if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be the halloumi and hummus gyros, an absolute combination.... Get it with the sweet chilli sauce... You'll thank me later. Anyways thank you to lovely staff, you guys deserve it!

Excellent service and friendly staff nice food worth every penny

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant If you want an authentic Greek night out in Shipley, then head on down to the Acropolis, great food, atmosphere and people. Loved it.

So much more than a take away! Upstairs is a nicely laid out, authentic Mediterranean restaurant with a wide choice of dishes. Portions are generous and great value, but best of all, is the friendly service and ambience.

Very nice, well cooked food. Good portion sizes and staff were nice. Would recommend to anyone.

Best greek food🤗 reminds me of home. Best gyros I have tasted in the UK. The atmosphere great with the Greek music,staff very friendly cant do enough for you. Also very generous portions. Definitely greek portions🤣👌 100% recommend a trip here to everyone

My wife and I were spending a few days visiting Saltaire and the Salt Mills and chanced upon Acropolis. We have eaten in restaurants all over the world and many times when holidaying in Greece. This was as good a Greek meal as we have eaten. It was beautifully and freshly cooked. The stuffed pepper starter was memorable. The staff were enterprising and friendly. The restaurant is in a newly refurbished upper floor area, which was spacious and warm. And the price was very competitive. All in all a very good evening out.

Excellent service and quality food in a very pleasant place a proper greek authentic restaurant!! Suggesting mpifteki and giant beans 😋

Booking for 20:00 for 2 birthday meal for my better half.Guess what CLOSED after taking a booking and telling us to bring cash as machine not working REALLY!!!Never again useless no contact and was there early!!!

Delicious food. We had the platter!

Lovely Greek restaurant in Shipley. From the street it looks like a takeaway kebab joint, but upstairs dining room is beautiful: double height, exposed trusses etc. Excellent food, nice staff, reasonable prices. We’ll be back soon.

Not the best Greek I've been to, but far from the worst. A welcome addition to Shipley. The sausage is amazing.

Lovely clean restaurant with very pleasant staff and a meal that was delicious. Plus a 20% discount given for eating in! We will be making it a regular visit!!

To begin the staff were quite rude but pushing past that we sat down and was immediately met with a slow service and mediocre scenery. As we ordered and the food finally arrived, not only was it subpar and a waste of money but we also found a strand of hair in not one but two of our dishes, this was poorly handled and we believe a problem is all round management. Overall, not an enjoyable experience and we will NOT be coming back here again.
