Demetrio’s in Shepway

We were so lucky to get a recommendation to come here! Absolutely delicious food cooked from scratch, yes, the chips too, in a warm, family restaurant. I tried the kleftiko, the stifado and the moussaka and they were all soooo yummy! If you find Greek food too adventurous, there is an English menu too :). We stayed in the area for three days, and we went to Demetrios twice.

WONDERFUL! ❤️❤️❤️🌞🌞🌞 I needed to get away from Sussex and stumbled across Greatstone. Demetrio’s proved to be one of the most welcoming restaurants I have ever visited! Great food and a warm family atmosphere. These folk serve the community and truly go over and above. I’ll be back….SalsaJulia 💃🏽❤️

Nice home cooked food, so surprised to find a place like it hidden on this part of the coast, very reasonable price for excellent food and friendly staff

Thoroughly enjoyed good, straightforward Greek food. Tasty mains, lovely Greek salad, generous portion of yogurt and honey, great baklava. Perfect, really.

Nice restaurant and lovely staff. I've been here a few times and finally got around to doing a review. The waitress was lovely. The food and beers were nice as well. Nice atmosphere

A real gem. Open also evening. The owner and her daughters are lovely people. From Cyprus with love and simplicity. Fantastic the greek yogurt with honey and nuts. Perfect for an afternoon tea after a long walk on the beach! The owner shared a bit of the restaurant history. Worth a visit. We visited twice in a day! The fish is from the local dungeness fishermen! Very fresh. We have to come back! ⛱️

Such a friendly welcome, showing our boys the beach nearby and meeting the family of wonderful cooks! as our youngest (14) said, 'the best restaurant I've been to!' Thanks!

warm welcome at this family run restaurant. Food is so tasty and great variety 😋 will be returning very soon.

A family favourite, you are always welcomed with warmth and kindness. The food is delicious and so fresh! Big recommendation to anyone!

Very friendly family run restaurant, lovely food, lovely people. Made my family feel very welcome, and cheered up a rainy day on our holiday ☀

Fantastic place. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Food is brilliant …have eaten here several times and each visit gets better. It’s difficult to leave and go home

Great family run Greek restaurant, friendly and welcoming.

We've been in England for 2 weeks now, but we've never eaten as badly as we did here. The meat was tough and very dry. The salad was very carelessly prepared. This meal was absolutely not worth the money. The service was just OK. We found the atmosphere to be very loud, even though there weren't many guests there.

LOCAL GEM. A lovely warm welcome, great service, and delicious food, all within a beautiful coastal setting. They offer traditional Greek cuisine alongside an English one, with vegetarian options. We will definitely be regular diners demetrios.

We visited this restaurant twice in 4 days. So lovely and homely. Home cooked Greek food. Really tasty and a nice simple menu. The 2 sisters and Mum were so friendly and made you feel special without fussing round you. Thank you, Demetrio's !

Lovely friendly staff and delicious food 😁

Judging by the reviews, I think we just happened to come here on an off day. I ordered the chicken suvlaki from the section of the menu where items come with "chips or rice and Greek salad." My two vegetarian friends ordered Greek salad from the same section of the menu. My food was fairly good, though maybe felt a little overpriced. The two Greek salad mains we're no bigger than the side of Greek salad that came with my chicken. All Greek salads came with two olives and two tiny pieces of feta. Photos of the Greek salad from other reviews on Google look significantly more filling. Anyway, £22 a head (not including drinks), and we came away very hungry, unfortunately. Nice atmosphere, though!

Food was lovely, genuine home cooked Cypriot/Greek authentic flavours, it was so good we went back a second night in a row.

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. The menu caters for all diners, and Pat and Eva make you feel at home. A superb choice of food at very reasonable prices. Give it a go.👍

We were down from London and came across this amazing Greek restaurant. The owners were originally from London And the food was authentic Greek couldn’t fault the food better than any London Greek restaurants we go to. Highly recommend anyone in the area to go pay the ladies a visit reasonable prices home made food at its best ( even the chips) . Great find we will definitely be back.

This is one of the best local places to eat, although I’m not sure that I want to give away this gem. As a kid, this was one of those places that your parents went to but you never got to go to as well. I’m not that it isn’t good for kids. It is it was just a place they didn’t take us. Now as a mostly fully grown adult my mum brings me here for dinner or sometimes lunch and it is, one of our favourite places to eat. The family that run this restaurant are just the best, they’re really friendly bunch who are always happy to have a chat but not overdo it. The food is all home-made with fresh ingredients quite often a better quality than you or I could find in any shop. Every single dish I have tried here has been absolutely incredible and the portion sizes always seem to work out just right so that you’re full but not over full. Quite often the owners will offer dishes that are not included on the normal menu and I promise you they are worth trying out, I am yet to try something that I haven’t liked. Its location just outside of great stone also means it can sometimes avoid the swarm of tourists. Into the holiday season, It certainly worth booking so you’re not disappointed and if you’re looking for large sharing platter, make sure you book these in advance. The atmosphere here is always really great and makes for the perfect place to have a nice meal with friends or family. The restaurant itself has a really nice homely vibe and coupled with the wonderful staff I just makes for a welcoming and wholesome experience. If you’re nearby and don’t try this place out, more fool you.

Excellent food and friendly service

Excellent homemade and authentic Greek food served by the warmest of families in a cosy environment....as a Greek myself I would highly recommend it!

We booked demetrious in New romney sat 6th April as we were staying in New romney for the weekend...this is a family run business.. home cooked food...very warm welcome on arrival.. Greeted by Eva and her family.... lovely Greek lady who took our orders and spent time chatting to us all eve and the grandmother who was also lovely.... we had a mixture of starters..houmous..taramasalata...halloumi...pitta..all homemade..chicken and pork kebabs with salad and rice ..stuffed peppers..moussaka..Greek beer red wine... we were very happy with the quality of the food..there was background music but it would of been lovely to have some traditional Greek music .. we were so full we took some baklava home with us and it was very nice.. would imagine during summer they would be very busy.. if you want a relaxed friendly restaurant with homecooked food then would recommend demetrious ..

Lovely food, reasonably priced. Excellent service.

An all round great place with lovely food. We thoroughly enjoyed our night out here.

This was such a find feeling lost on a holiday to Romney Sands we happened by this lovely restaurant by accident and was completely enchanced by it. Fabulous food excellent service and the most welcoming all over experience by the whole family that work there. Its home cooked good food a little Cyprus in New Romsey please try it

Great Greek food and lovely service!

Can’t believe the owners have been running this place for 50 years next year! They’re so lovely and welcoming. Great food too!

8 of us met up in Dungeness and had dinner at Demetrio’s. It was our second visit and we were looking forward to it. We were not disappointed. Demetrio’s is family owned and run and the ladies are delightful hosts. Apart from the food - excellent - the atmosphere is delightful. One of my top five favourite restaurants in the whole world. Thank you and see you again soon.

Always excellent. Great homemade food at a reasonable price. Very friendly and welcoming

Oh my what a find and a fabulous visit for lunch. Beautiful home made food with great service from all the family. Blown away with the friendly atmosphere and dog friendly so will be back very soon.

Eva was friendly, funny and just good. The food was much better than expected, with beautifully cooked fish and a great lasagne. Recommended and a nice surprise.

We had a lovely meal here today. The staff were so friendly and chatty they created a lovely atmosphere. I had souvilaki and greek salad so fresh and tasty more than ample portion size and very reasonably priced. My partner is very picky with his food they cooked him exactly what he wanted nothing was too much trouble. He ended up having 2 pork loin chops chips and a salad just the way he likes it with just lettuce and tomato. Thank you so much for a lovely end to our day at the beach.

Slow cooked lamb Kleftico with a fresh Greek salad, everything wS superb

Excellent family run restaurant. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were brilliant, very courteous.

What a lovely find! I turned up with two friends on our motorbikes and we're parked directly out front. The whole experience was a delight from start to finish. The staff are welcoming, warm and friendly. The food was delicious and the Greek Coffee was spot on. I will be coming back for another visit!

Great family owned restaurant. Friendly atmosphere and great food

Thankyou for a lovely dinner food was excellent Very clean Staff very friendly Would definitely come back when im here again xx

Delicious food and very friendly staff, would definitely recommend!

We went to parkdean for a week at the end of April and went to this lovely family restaurant, the sister’s who run it both come from London down the road from where we lived. What a lovely atmosphere and truly lovely people we went there and had a smashing meal with what my wife and son said were the best chips they had had for years, proper Greek family food. I hope we get a chance to visit again as we throughly enjoyed it and my dog even enjoyed his self. Hope to see you again soon. Regards Tony

Wow, if you want home cooked traditional Greek food then come no further. This place is a must. Being of Cypriot decent I can honestly say this is as good as it gets. Family run and very friendly, service was excellent and the all the food is home made. Taramasalata was the best I have ever tasted.

great friendly staff and food was amazing

Great food n friendly staff place to visit

Lovely, home cooked Greek meal. Good service and very friendly attention by the family. Easy parking right outside

Delicious home cooked -food like it used to be! On a very hot day the ladies were friendly & welcoming & served us quickly, the pub opposite ignored us & didn't feel welcoming to tourists. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, lovely place and amazing staff. Coffee is great too

Nice meal, great service, staff are fantastic and very welcoming. Pat and Eve

Love this place .. lovely food and great owners !! Service with lots of conversations.. make you feel very welcome!! Keep up the good work.. 👍

Best place to go for a lovely bit of food and ambience It's family run and I can't fault it at all food is out standing and eve and pat are brilliant

Spacious taverna style restaurant run by very welcoming and sociable ladies. Good Greek or English food in a comfortable atmosphere.

Very nice family run restaurant Great food

What a lovely place to go for a meal when we got there we met Eva she is such a lovely lady she made me and my family so welcome she was very patient with us as my granddaughter couldn't make up her mind what she wanted the food was absolutely gorgeous from start to finish the Greek salad is to die for we will be going back very soon so Eva save a table for us please 😊

What a lovely, family owned Greek restaurant. From the outside it looks much smaller, but inside the restaurant, they have a lot of space. The food is fresh and homemade and it tastes really good. Once your in, you will also be entertained by , I believe, 3 generations of ladies, grandchild, mother and grandma, which definitly adds to the fun night we had. Whenever we are back in this area, we'll be back! Thank you very much!!

5* just for my lovely leah. Best Greek restaurant I've ever been to! And the best people your b lucky enough to meet

Very nice food and very nice staff

We went to the restaurant for lunch. 7 of us with 5 children. A lovely family runs business. People are very friendly. Food is delicious. Everyone is happy with their orders. Certainly recommend it

Amazing staff and lovely food. We arrived at closing time without realising but they welcomed us in and cooked us lovely food. Being on holiday and not from around the area we had no idea it was impossible to get a cab and the busses had stopped running, but the lovely ladies offered to drive us back to our holiday park doing two trips as we couldn’t all fit in. The nicest people! Highly recommend

This place was recommended to us. Thought we would give it a go. WOW! Lovely welcome by Eva. Sat where we wanted. Food was absolutely delicious, loved the salad! Home made chips were lovely. Great service. Really enjoyed this little gem. Thankyou. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ till next time. 😊

Amazing food and really lovely customer service from a family run business. Can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend

Would not go again. Staff wonderfully friendly. Not as clean as I would like. Feels like a cafe.

Fantastic restaurant. Beautiful food and a really friendly environment. Definitely worth the prices.

We had a marvellous mezze which was beautifully cooked and served with with a smile and good humour. Having eaten there on numerous occasions we were prepared with empty containers to take away what we knew we would not manage to eat. We definitely didn’t want to leave any of the excellently cooked food behind. The family are really lovely people and the restaurant is thoroughly recommended.

Food is great.. Everything was freshly made..

Yet another great meal we had here on Easter Sunday the best Greek food found any where in the area

Great birthday party for primrose.

Visited on a Saturday evening. Food was delicious. Service was great and staff very friendly and welcoming.

Meat was so tender you didn't need a knife

Brilliant meal best chicken kebab in kent

Fantastic food, service and really good family run restaurant, very friendly atmosphere....

What a delightful restaurant and lovely staff. Food was delicious and very authentic. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

We all had a fantastic tasty meal and my 🧬 liver and bacon was excellent just like mother used to make. Will definitely be back soon. So friendly and helpful despite it being very busy for a lunchtime. Would thoroughly recommend.

If you are expecting Greek food don’t bother! The food is rubbish and takes more than an hour to get to the table. Avoid the Lamb kleftiko it’s just boiled lamb 🤢

First time going to demetrios and will defo be returning. Food was lovely, staff were so friendly and very good customer service. Would highly recommend and we will see you soon.

A real find, we will be going back soon. Lovely greek food and a friendly welcome.

Nice trad Greek food. Very nice people!

Lovely friendly restaurant good food and great people will be back

A great welcome. the greek food was amazing would definitely go again.

Lovely meal and pleasant owners/staff.

Great Greek/Cypress restaurant with warm and welcoming staff. The food was great and not too pricy

Absolutely amazing food in a very lovely restaurant. We will be back!

Very welcoming staff. Food was cooked fresh and delivered to the table quickly. All the staff stopped and talked and were friendly. The restaurant was clean and well managed. Children are more than welcome

Really nice authentic Greek menu. Great location by the coast. Nice selection of wine. Kids and English menu. The home made chips are very popular. Would phone ahead as it can be busy.

Lovely food and lovely staff..... little gem of a place... we will return x

The owners couldn't have been nicer and the food was good too! The restaurant could probably do with a little updating but I guess that's what makes it a little Greek/Cypriot restaurant! The halloumi was done perfectly, my daughter ate it and she literally eats nothing she's so fussy! She even tasted the hummus there! Everything was made from scratch, even the chips and my friends had Moussaka and said it was delicious! I had omelette and chips and it was just an omelette, nothing to scream about! Service was ok, small family run restaurant so it is what it is! Would recommend trying if you like Greek Cypriot food!

Great food, friendly staff, well worth a visit

Excellent...Great service and atmosphere

Good meal excellent customer service.

dreadful service but some decent food.

Had a lovely lunch, friendly staff and excellent good. Highly recommend

Great food good service , reasonably priced

Food taste OK but choices are limited.

Lovely family run restaurant. Took my family down for some dinner and almost felt like we were on holiday. Great food and Will visit again

The hummus was awful - no flavour and very over priced. Calamari was OK. Main courses of slouvlaki was tasty - chicken lovely and tender and main course of klefito was particularly delicious. Service was good. Really nice vibe about the place.

Lovely meal. Great atmosphere. Super staff.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a very long time the food was fantastic the service was brilliant a family run business people who cared about you and knew what they were serving proper 100% Cypriot food the taste was excellent I absolutely love this place and I cannot wait till my next visit strongly recommend it what a beautiful place

I came today and was blown away by my Dover Sole. Excellent service, brilliant atmosphere and lovely people. Will return soon.

One of my favourite restaurants anywhere. Authentic, relaxed, great food and a absolute joy.

A warm welcome and fresh home cooked food await you in this little gem of a family run restaurant. It's more than just a meal out, it's a very enjoyable experience.

Excellent food, excellent service. We had a wonderful evening dining there for the first time and came away feeling we had made new friends every member of the staff were so friendly and spent time sitting with us and chatting. Re booked for next week!
