After all the glowing reviews I was really looking forward to some genuine Greek fayre.........what a massive disappointment! I ordered Katopoulon with chips and a Greek salad. This consisted of 2 skewers of small, unseasoned chicken chunks, a few anaemic, barely cooked chips and a salad consisting of 3 small cubes of Feta and a few shrivelled olives! My partner's Stifado was all onion and very little beef twinned with a mound of barely drained rice, and my son's Kalamari was fresh from the freezer at Iceland. Even the drinks were no better as our glasses of Retsina definitely weren't! I've eaten at Greek restaurants all over Europe and this certainly ain't one!

As promised, "we've been back". Eva, Pat and mum (Leah) made us very welcome again. I kept to the English menu and had melon, lamb roast with three veg, whilst my partner had taramasalata and mixed meats souvlaki. We both had the delicious homemade lemon cheesecake with cream followed by the cafetieres of coffee. A very greek (Cypriot) restaurant with good quality food and nice chats which is why we like to go there. Well recommended and pleasing to see others find it as excellent as we do. p.s. the card machine is very temperamental so be patient or pay cash for speed.

What a great find! You don’t often come across special spots like these. Lovely family run restaurant with the freshest of food & the warmest of welcomes. Found out the owners have had this restaurant for over 50 years too and mum still works in the kitchen. Could not recommend enough. Beautiful food and a great traditional and immaculate dinning space. Thank you, Eva and family, we will be back when next here from Wimbledon, London. Melissa & Family

It’s like dining with a greek Cypriot family at home. The restaurant is celebrating its 50th year in Greatstone, with the same family members throughout. They are all so friendly and interesting. The taramasalata is out of this world and made in their kitchen. We had the traditional souvlaki and it was made good quality meat, well seasoned with herbs, tender and piping hot, The accompanying salad included chunks of feta and black olives, the chips were from proper potatoes. The restaurant is unique!

Fantastic place, really loved it. Felt like I was at a lovely family taverna with great friendly service. Had the kalamari which was very good, one of the best I’ve had, perfectly served with lovely chips and Greek salad. Delicious homemade ekmek for dessert. Only in town for a short time, or i’d visit really often!

Authentic Greek food that took me right to Greece. This family run restaurant left us baffled as to how delicious the food here was. The meat was tender, and the sides were perfectly would 100% recommend if you are missing greece definitely come here.

Went there and it had a nice greek interior, the staff were greek and lovely company. They even recommended a greek island to us! The food was delicious, just like the food you'd find in greece! I had the calamari for starter, and it was delicious. Then I had the kleftiko for main, and it just melted in my mouth. The kleftico came with some greek salad and options or chips or rice. For dessert, I had Baklava, which was not to disappoint. Honestly, I'm lost for words. The meal was just perfect. I would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic greek restaurant!

Visited Demetrios on Sunday 5th May with family and friends. We were seated at the back of the restaurant which suited us as a party of 8 with a baby and 2 dogs. Right from the start we were made to feel very welcome and the owner a really lovely lady could not do enough for us , as did all of the other staff who brought us our food. The menu offers greek and english dishes. The starters right through to the deserts were cooked fresh and deserts were homemade. I had the houmas with pitta bread to start, chicken skewers (two huge skewers) with chips , again home made and a greek salad followed by home made lemon cheesecake throughly recommended . If you like good value and a place that has great home cooked food then Demetrios ticks all the boxes.

Excellent Sunday roast lunch, melon boat followed by roast lamb with four vegetables and lemon cheesecake and coffee. Others started with the taramasalata and hummus One had mixed meats souvlaki with chips and salad. Two of us had the lemon cheesecake. All the food was except and the cheesecake was superb, melting in the mouth and home made. The ambience at Demetrio's is always good with a warm welcome from Eva and her family. Always have recommended the restaurant and after today , "we'll be back"!

I served in the forces in Cyprus for 3 years, and we go on holiday there most years. I absolutely love Authentic Greek Cypriot food. We have a holiday caravan locally, and both me, my wife, and my family regularly visit Dometrios and have done for years. It is a typical Greek Cypriot family run business, so if you expect posh, fancy restaurants, you obviously haven't lived or eaten in an Authentic Greek Cypriot one. Leah and her family Kyriacos,(Chef), Pat and Eva are so welcolming, you are made to feel like you are part of their family. The food is excellent, Kyriacos cooks the food to perfection. I can highly recommend all the usual dishes, Kleftiko, Stifado,chicken/pork souvlaki. My wife's favourite is the Moussaka, and if it's available, I very highly recommend my favourite, Sheftelia, as it is the best I've tasted outside of Cyprus! I would highly recommend Demetrios and will certainly be visiting again whilst I'm down here on my Easter holidays! Andy & Chris from Doncaster

Thought we were going to an authentic Greek restaurant, was the worst we have ever been to. Food was bland, no effort at all, everything chucked on the plate, rice wasn’t even drained properly! When Dolma was not available, limited vegetarian option, charged £15 for a bit of halloumi, soggy rice and basic salad! When when we asked for pitta, they asked how many, usually a restaurant would give you a basket filled as standard! Terrible customer service, didn’t even check on us or ask if everything was ok. Restaurant is large but most tables empty, not even any music playing, atmosphere is like greasy spoon cafe! Do not recommend at all!

Visited for the first time this year and had Sunday lunch (on Mother's day). Eva and family made us very welcome and we had melon (English menu) and hummus (Greek menu) starters followed by a wonderful Lamb Kleftiko with four vegetables together with mixed meats (lamb and pork) Souvlaki with chips and salad. We celebrated the Sunday with Banana sundae and Baklava followed by caffetiere coffees. As mentioned in previous posts the food was excellent with large quantities. All the staff were welcoming to obviously returning families (celebrating the day) which made it an enjoyable lunchtime. We will return soon.

Came here for my mums birthday, and it certainly lived up to their reviews to date! A friendly greeting awaits in a calm and peaceful atmosphere in this family run restaurant, staff were amazing and were welcoming, flexible and always on hand, we had our 5 month year old with us In A buggy and it was no problem at all for them to accommodate him! The food from start to finish was brilliant, some of the best halloumi, calamari & prawn cocktail we’ve ever had! The lamb was so great! It literally fell apart! The chicken was so tasty! The baklava was so delicious! They do accommodate for gluten free and other requirements! They staff were very happy to allow us to bring in a cake for a happy birthday sing along! 100% worth a visit! We will be I’m coming back!

We went as a family for a meal at Demetrios last Saturday night. Wonderful family who own the restaurant,Wonderful food,Wonderful welcome. Ate outside as a nice evening. Had a baby with us and they were more than willing to warm baby's dinner. Best moussaka I've ever had all cooked fresh there same as all other food they serve. We rented a bungalow across the road from restaurant. We live in Essex but would definitely return if in that area again. Thank you all for such a lovely time 💕💕.....

Arrived after a 2 hour drive that was well worth it. I called ahead of our visit as the fish was so good last time I wanted the same quality again. This time I went for sea bass and was not disappointed. All the food was put together so well and was hot, which is not what you get in some restaurants. Pat, Eva and Leah made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. I wish that it was closer as would then go more often. Looking forward to our next visit.

We were staying in a rented house nearby and looking for somewhere good to eat one evening. We had a really delicious meal at Demetrios. I have Coeliac Disease so we weren't sure whether or not they could cater for me but it was no problem and they couldn't have been more helpful. We can't recommend thr restaurant more highly.

They open April until October and make no pretence at sophistication. Good ingredients and a lack of artistry seems to be working well for them and their customers. We would never have seen Greatstone on Sea, or heard of it, had we not booked a Greek meal months ago. We shared an excellent Greek Salad. Casserole of lamb with thick cut chips, followed by a Greek pastry with ice cream and strawberries and cream. This consisted of putting whole strawberries into a large glass coupe, and tipping a quarter of a pint of double cream over it, so using a tablespoon, it was greatly enjoyed!!!The decor can be seen in the photos. You go here to eat no frills and we enjoyed the wholesome food. A glass of wine plus a small bottle fizzy water £55 including tip. Very friendly staff as you would expect.

Demetrios is one of a vanishing breed. Family run Greek restaurants used to be everywhere but sadly they are increasingly hard to find these days. Thankfully we still have Demetrios. The restaurant is large and the decoration is pretty plain, and it was not busy. This was more than made up for by Eva, the larger than life manageress with whom we shared reminiscences from her North London youth. The food is good straightforward but delicious Cypriot cooking and very reasonable.

We found this restaurant during a walk along the beach. We hadn’t booked a table in advance so we were lucky to get a space. We were greeted and sat down by a lovely lady called Eva. My partner and I both chose the chicken kebabs and they were honestly the best I’ve tasted and it truly felt like we were back in our beloved Cyprus! This really is a truly wonderful place and reminded me of how restaurants really should be. Run by the same family for 40 years and I can totally see why it’s been such a success. Eva is wonderful and it was certainly service with a smile! We cannot wait to come back!

The staff were so welcoming and the owner she reminded me of a friends grandma who used to look after us every time we walked into the house. We wasn’t disappointed with anything

I visited with my family over the weekend. As there were 6 of us we tried a variety of dishes. The seafood was below average and the chicken skewers were too salty. The wine was not opened at the table and didn't taste like Shiraz.Not a place I would visit again. It aspires to average.

We had a lovely lunch today at Demetrios. Super friendly service, we had a great chat with the family that have owned this restaurant for over 40 years and were made to feel really welcome. The food was great and we will be returning - don’t drive past - drop in ! They are open most days of the week I believe - not sure why the opening hours shown here on Tripadvisor don’t reflect that. See you all again.

We (1 dad, 2 kids, 2 grandparents) were staying locally for a week within walking distance of this place and we are here twice, with my parents going back a third time! If you're expecting super fast service or opulent surroundings then this place is not for you - but if you're after a chilled, family friendly vibe and delicious freshly cooked food (the dolmades were in the top 3 I've ever tasted, including good restaurants in Greece and Cyprus!) then you're into a winner.In just about every way this place feels like an actual Cypriot taverna. If that's your thing- and it very much is mine! - then you should make a beeline for this place. Highly recommended.

The food here is amazing!! Cooked perfectly and large portions. It was so good we even booked to come back the following evening. The family who run the restaurant are lovely, very welcoming. Even my son who never finishes his whole dinner cleared his plate! Would love to visit again.

We visited this restaurant while we were on holiday with close family. The staff were so welcoming even though we had 5 excited children with us. Delicious food and a good selection. The portion sizes were good and the side salad was an impressive greek salad, not the usual couple of pieces of rocket that you get in most restaurants. We went back twice in the 4 days we were in Kent. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere on entering The waitress was most welcoming as we entered. The choice from the both English and creek menu was good traditional dishes, wholesome and Cooked very well a generous helping awaits at a good price and above all is very tasty!Looking at the rest of the menu there is an equally great choice. You can clearly see this family run restaurant has got a lot of experience from running restaurants It shows.Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

We stopped here for a cocktail with a view to dining if we liked the look of the menu. The young man, Freddie, who served us was polite and attentive. He was in his second week there (a student in his gap year) and doing very well. The cocktails were nice, the food was lovely and we thought, reasonably priced for the quality of the restaurant. Would definitely return should we find ourselves in Folkstone again. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner with such good service.
