Greek House Souvlaki in Aylesbury Vale

Very bland food, very disappointed, Houmous was covered in oil, both mine and my partners wraps were very sparse with the meat and the meat was very chewy. Will not be going back!

Chose the Greek House as it looked inviting and we wanted to support a local business, rather than a large chain. Partner and I decided to share a mixed grill, which sounded exciting with its variety of items. But were very disappointed when the waitress brought a plate of uninspiring mixed meats, which were cooling rapidly and either tasteless or of dubious flavour, accompanied by a small, bland, side salad and oily tzatziki. Certainly not Greek food as we know it and not value for money. Indigestion set in within the hour and by night-time we were both suffering from a bad gastric reaction. We won't be returning.

We love Greek food and have been to Greek islands many times, so we had high hopes when we came across this sweet little restaurant with its charming traditional sign. I liked the decor, although my husband found it rather tacky. The waitress was lovely, very friendly and we had a very nice chat with her. She recommended something, which I then tried. Unfortunately the food was terrible. Despite me asking specifically if it was slices of actual meat off the bone, the meat we got was unidentifiable cheapest 'kebab meat' swimming in runny mayo and soggy pitta bread. Hubby couldn't eat it and was appalled how bad it was. This place seriously needs to get a new chef. Avoid if you love Greek food because this has no resemblance to it at all. So disappointing.

They do not understand food allergies and lie about how their food is cooked. Avoid at all costs if you have any good allergies or intolerances.

We have wanted to try this Restaurant for some time now so today we called in for Lunch.Was not disappointed. Had to wait a little while but the meals were fantastic. Musaka with salad and lamb koftas with fries very tasty indeed. Drinks bit on the pricey side but it didn’t spoil the experience. Service excellent and owner very friendly. Give it a try.

Quite honestly the worst attempt at Greek food Ive ever had. Dry, tasteless, and nasty cheap ingredients. So called Greek salad consisted of copius amounts of shredded lettuce two quarters of a tomato, one strip of red pepper, one tiny slither of red onion and three very small chunks of feta cheese, appaling... absolutely appaling. Calamari was dry, over fried and clearly just nasty frozen type of the cheapest kind. No trace of any skill or understanding of actual Greek cuisine... hideous!!

Food was delicious but we unfortunately, we couldn't hear ourselves speak, as the lady in the open plan kitchen was talking really loud on speaker phone to someone else for over 27 mins. We had to leave and go to the cafe over the road in the end as it ruined our catch up.

Monday evening visit .. v slow service … we moved tables to accommodate another group.. starter arrived after a short wait … long wait for mains .. sadly no one popped back to ask if we wanted more drinks- which we did… Then sat with empty plates for ages … they didn’t have any deserts … so after 2 hrs there we paid & left. It’s not the cheapest Greek restaurants we’ve eaten in … but it’s local & I believe in supporting local businesses. A shame the service is so poor (-it was the last time we ate there)….Tgey really need to sort out the wait….

Yes, a little pricey but everywhere is nowadays. Place was pretty & clean. Staff were lovely & Service was good although it was not busy. Starters were delicious, dinner was nice nothing special but I will go there again.

Beautiful food and place, so relaxing and staff are polite. Will definitely be coming back. I would definitely go for the gyros mixed wrap and the cheese balls for starter was amazing.

Terrible food, was cold when we got it. The women was rude and disgusting attitude to customers. Arguing with me and friend when we kindly said the food was cold and started accusing us about we are trying to do something. Fully out of order for someone who claims to have 10 years hospitality experience "as she claims"

Decided to visit this restaurant after a friends recommendation. Initial impressions were good with the place seeming clean and the waitress was very friendly but unfortunately, not very efficient. Eventually we were asked what we would like to drink. I ordered a beer and it came with a school style glass which I found a bit odd. Call me picky but beer should be in a beer glass. Anyway, we had hummus and pitta bread starter which consisted of about 4 strips of pitta bread each which seemed a bit measly. We ordered the mix grill for two as we thought it'd be a good way of sampling various foods. Now I know it's not a fast food restaurant but this took an age to appear. Well actually the salad and chips was delivered a good 15 mins before the mains. We weren't sure if it was actually part of the mains or just another appetiser to appease us while we were waiting. As a consequence we'd eaten most of the chips and salad by the time the meat arrived. It was £45 for two and there was barely enough. Most of it was chicken off the gyro, the two lamb chops were mainly bone and there were a couple of koftes, a sausage to share and no pittas. I can't stress how nice the staff were and I didn't want to write this review, but a part of me doesn't want them to fail so I hope they learn from this.

The food and service were awful. We ordered calamari for our starter which was literally just calamari and a spattering of iceberg lettuce, no mayonnaise or any accompaniment so this was dry and boring. Our main course then came while we were still eating our starters. Their menus had some pictures of really beautiful Greek Salads, this was just what I fancied with some chicken skewers. What turned up was some shredded sad looking iceberg lettuce with one piece of tomato and one green olive, I think this has to be the worst salad I have ever been served in a restaurant. I feel this was a total waste of money and will not be going again.

A group of friends went to the restaurant for a birthday celebration in the evening around 7pm. They forgot 3 of our orders, and didn't bring drinks until halfway through the food that did arrive. They told us to be quiet despite there being no one else in the restaurant and it being early evening. Furthermore, the waitress was rude and told our group off for ordering food to share stating that everyone must order something, no restaurant has such rules not to mention they forgot our food anyway. We came to this restaurant because of the good reviews, however, perhaps they only have good manners for certain types of people. Overall, it was not a good experience and to top it off the meat was also undercooked.

I went to this place only two times and have decided never to go there again. The staff is rude and have zero experience of hospitality. The food is below average and it looks unclean. The first time we went we ordered a white wine. They only had one white wine and it was not cold. They gave us a bottle with no glasses. After we asked for glasses they gave us two glasses and left. I ordered loaded chips and my husband ordered lamb. His food was rubbish my food was okay. We thought they were new so they will learn. Next time we went and ordered the red wine. The bottle had cork. They left us a bottle and when we asked them to open the bottle they said why don't you open it yourself? My husband said if you give us the cork opener, we will. Then the man looked at the bottle and realized that it was not the bottle we could open with hand. Then he went outside and purchased the cork opener from the shop in front of the restaurant. The food was below average and we then saw some flies. That is when we decided we were never going to visit this place again.

We booked for an early dinner and were really looked after by the staff from the minute we arrived. The mixed grill was absolutely fantastic and gave us an opportunity to try all of the different meats on offer - all of which were delicious. The tatztiki was refreshing and light, and the grilled bread we had as a starter was seasoned perfectly and grilled to perfection. We will be back, not just for another sit down meal but for takeaway as well!

Amazing fresh traditional food with very friendly staff. Went here with my partner and had heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint.

Very authentic atmosphere in the restaurant and they definitely at least have the best wraps in buckingham👌🏼

On the spot decision to have lunch there today …good decision, all cooked from fresh, waitress very pleasant.

Great experience, stopped in for lunch, very friendly staff, great food and fair price. Also let us takeaway which was handy. Gyros recommended!

Dined at the Greek House to celebrate my daughter's 13th birthday. The staff seemed friendly and welcoming at first until it started to get busier. There were items on the drinks menu that were unavailable. E.g. pints of beers. We had ordered a Skepasti, lamb souvlaki wrap and a mixed grill for 2 with rice. We then ordered a separate portion of chips. The mains came at different times which isn't ideal as diners would generally eat at the same time. The chips came with the mixed grill but the rice never came despite reminding the staff twice. We ended up cancelling the rice after waiting 30 minutes. The quality of the food was ok. The worse thing about the restaurant was the fruit flies flying around. It was digusting as the flies were going into our drinks, flying around our faces and it was so irritating. The flies were also stuck on the walls. It made us feel very uncomfortable. We queried this with the staff and they advised they have tried to get rid off of the flies but they always come back. We were hoping to have our birthday cake after the meal but we were eager to leave the restaurant so we took the cake home instead. There were plenty of takeaway orders and the kitchen couldn't cope with the orders. The restaurant previously had lovely decorations such as flowers on the ceiling but this has been removed so the restaurant looked quite basic. We wouldn't be visiting again, such a shame.

Disappointing. First 4 items chosen from menu we were told were not available. My starter arrived. Waited for husbands to arrive. Half came then and had to wait again for pitta bread. His lamb arrived swimming in fat sitting on top of chips. Ended up with chronic indigestion at 02.00am. Spent evening swatting fruit flies. Will not return.

Authentic Greek Food With Ali the Egyptian... Enjoyed Moussaka and Also a Pastificio with Pasta inside (ITALIAN?)

I booked a table for 6 people on 8th September 2023 for 13th October, on the 13th October my booking was cancelled via text, on calling them the rude waitress said unless we could move our booking earlier by an hour there was nothing she could do they had too many bookings and my booking would be cancelled. I explained I booked over a month ago but her attitude was she didn’t care and when I said I would leave a bad review she said “ok” ….. I had, previous to this, had 2 or 3 home delivery orders to which 2 out of the 3 were wrong or cancelled. The food when we did eat from here was nice so in my opinion such a shame and not a way to run a business, very disappointing and won’t be booking to go here again.

We have been looking forward to eating some Greek food for sometime as it’s been some months since we were last in Greece. We saw the menu on line and that our three of our favourite Greek meals were on their list, tzatziki, koquinisto and moussaka. I asked the waitress if their koquinisto was similar to stifado to which she said yes. I then thanked her in greek to which she said that she was Romanian so had no idea what I said The tzatziki came out as a starter and was excellent, I was very hopeful for my main course. The koqinisto came out and I thought I had been served the wrong meal. There were three small chunks of beef in an ochre ish colour sauce with chick peas and something else in it and topped with incredibly salty feta cheese. No sigh of a tomato base, no shallots visible or tasted and no discernible tomato base, I left it after a few mouthfuls. Nothing even remotely similar to koquinisto, or stifado. My wife’s moussaka she said was the worst she has ever had and there was one of the layers in it like cardboard. I told the senior waitress how disappointed I was when she asked and it was only really an ‘oh dear, that is a shame’ response. They charged us the full amount, I will not go again and recommend to others that they seriously consider elsewhere based on my experience there. I could not give no stars, otherwise I would have done so

Stumbled across this little gem of a restaurant after a day at Silverstone as we were staying in Buckingham for the night. We had a lovely meal including a great bottle of red wine. The owner was very personable & looks to have a solid team behind him. I only wish they were closer to where I live!

Amazing food and service! 5 stars 🌟 Very generous portions, we had chicken souvlaki, and lamb skewers with rice and salad, delicious flavours Spotlessly clean toilets, we will be returning and recommending to all our friends, Thank you!!!🤗

Wonderful lunch. Stumbled across it when walking through the town visiting. This lovely lunch experience made me feel like I had gone on holiday. Food amazing, service wonderful. Complimentary starter, chef brought us some extra food just to try as it was good. If I lived in Buckingham I would be a regular.

Great food. I ordered 3 times in one week! Make sure you check it out. Buckingham needs more good food delivery. This one needs to stay.

Albeit a small and cosy restaurant, it's a wonderful addition to the town. Homely and very caring, it is great to have a different type of food and ambiounse. Lovely menu.
