Just Greek in Southend-on-Sea

This is a proper Greek Restaurant. The food is amazing and it is very clean. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. I love this place and will be visiting again and again! This is maybe the best Greek restaurant in Essex.

The closest you can find to authentic Greek flavors and quality in England!! For the quality data and the portion size what food is quite economical….will visit again!!

Served promptly, easy menu and food is divine, super flavourful and fresh tasting

Ordered food for delivery (Friday 4th October). Everything was tasty but lukewarm. An item worth £7 was also missing from our order, so we phoned them and asked for a refund. They acknowledged the missing food and promised to refund us the money. Still waiting for my refund! Edit: No refund has been sent, that's a lie. We do not live in Southend so how are we supposed to come in person? Terrible customer service

Service was very slow. Felt judge by the constand look.Salad dressing was like soup.Asked why didnt eat the rest of the food. Shouted after leaving the premises.

I had a takeaway. The food arrived nice and hot And the portions were huge! The Moussaka is the best I have ever eaten in the U.K.. give the chef a pay rise!! A huge pillowy brick of deliciousness, soft aubergine & potatoes, perfectly & delicately spiced mince and a charred, creamy bechamel with a perfect wobble. It looked absolutely beautiful and tasted even better. I was transported straight to my yiayias house. The Cypriot pitta pork kebab was also very tasty & again, generous portions, hot pitta bread stuffed full of salad & meat. Two minor comments. 1. I couldn’t really taste the ‘charcoal’ in the meat so I’m wondering if it’s a gas grill which would be a shame. 2. I prefer my pork to be in cubes rather than cut into pieces, it was almost shredded so closer to Gyros rather than as shish kebab. However, none of this is a dealbreaker for me, I devoured both dishes and enjoyed every mouthful. I’m so pleased to have found somewhere that does authentic food. You must try it.

Food was great, and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Delicious Greek food, variety of dishes - grilled and cooked, the portions are more than plenty, the place is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Delicious Greek food, variety of Greek dishes grilled and cooked, very big portions, very good prices considering the portions, very clean place, very friendly and helpful staff.

Went to this restaurant after a recommendation from a taxi driver, as I was craving some Greek food. It didn’t disappoint. Lovely food which tasty and fresh. Also generous portions for great prices. I couldn’t finish my meal but got a box to take home. The staff were friendly. There’s seating outside which is popular. But if you a craving some gyros and more Greek style food, go visit. Also indoor restaurant is wheelchair accessible (except toilet).

Really excellent food (the feta in filo with honey and sesame was especially wonderful) and extremely friendly service.

Best greek restaurant we have ever been,at least in England,and top 5 even in Greece as well!!Staff were all great,very helpful and the food was amazing!!We were 4 people and we loved absolutely every single dish.We will come back for sure.I would really recommend the gyros,both chicken and pork were delicious!The greek mousakas was the best one I had even in Greece I didn't had one that good!Really good restaurant,family owned,a real gem,so lucky we found it!

Excellent greek food, had the Souvlaki 3 Chicken Skewers with chips, salad and Tzatziki which was delicious and reasonably priced. There's plenty of seating inside and a few other outdoor for the summer. Location is great, really close to the seaside.

My wife and I decided to have lunch here whilst walking past so glad we did food and drinks and staff were great will be going back soon that’s for sure

I’ve been a few times now, this time with a group of friends who have all agreed that this is one of the best Greek restaurants we’ve been too outside of Greece! The staff are attentive, helpful and very nice to deal with The food is seasoned very well, cooked perfectly presented very well and all round a joy to have! We’ll be back very soon!

Had a very good experience in just Greek. The food was excellent, and the service was also very good

Very nice selection of Greek food, would recommend. Portions are very generous and flavored

Great place for kebabs and gyros. Big portions and very tasty. Always accommodating and polite service.

Just wow!! Didn't go out with intention to eat here but glad we did. The food is authentic greek. I had chicken souvlaki, my wife chicken gyros plate. It was absolutely amazing, just like what we've eaten in traditional grill rooms on several greek islands. I wish I lived nearer because I would be a frequent patron.

Excellent staff, perfect food 👌

The food was superb! Great service too… a very unassuming restaurant but an absolute gem!

Went here for first time, the Gyro's are bang on and the service is always good. Pretty chilled place to eat, Would recommend trying them out tasty food and not overly priced.

Perfect service every time. Incredible food. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

Ate at Just Greek for the first time. Lovely small family run restaurant. Really tasty fresh food and large portions. Our waitress was quick and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We even got a takeaway box as could not eat all the food. They do delivery and collection too. Very clean restaurant. Will definitely go again or order from. Well done 👏.

Good food Good atmosphere Friendly staff

8 of us went for my friends birthday last night and it was amazing, food was plentiful, reasonably priced and delicious!!!!!! We all had an amazing night and eveyone said they would make many return visits!! Thank you to all the great staff there keep being awesome!!!

Came back after our first visit 4 weeks back as the food was excellent so I booked a table for two on valentines night, but unfortunately this time the meat was way over done i could not eat the pork as rock hard burt and the chips were soggy and what we had last time hwe had the same again but the price had gone up by £6 .the lady knocked 8 pounds off our £58 bill due to the burt and over cooked meat but it made a nice Doggy bag for our dogs. I will not be going back again I will learn my lesson this time I called saying I had this chicken dish it was between a uper and lower round pita bread with with real chiken breast salad and melted cheese oh yes he goes it's called so and so. I gets there and had to wait even though I called some 15min before hand to say i would be 15mins So I paid £13 while I waited and what i got was a load of mushy cold chips on top of the 1 bit of pita bread and not the 2 I had before the meat was dona chiken meat thays cut of the skewers and a pita bread that was cut into triangles with the cold soggy chips put on top it was Stone cold they wouldn't give my my money back nor would they change it 100% this time I won't be going back

Delicious, authentic food. We will definitely be coming back.

Very nice food staff very friendly and the curly hair boy is very quick and funny gave me a amazing recommendation on the kebab philadelphia was 10/10

Delicious food with a good variety of dishes and drinks. Very friendly service.

Very clean reasonable prices and friendly ARGIE BARGIE

The best souvlaki I have ever eaten in UK.Nice people extremely polite and nice Greek music if you choose to sit down and have a lunch or dinner!can’t recommend enough!

Very nice joint in this area to have some good portion tasty greek food.

Clean and friendly place to eat in. The gyros wraps were delightful! Recommended.

Bravo guys ! Excellent gyros and pork steaks - no difference at all from the Geek food Keep going and never negotiate food quality

Extremely tasty Greek food and very generous portions. The staff are really friendly and they were very accommodating considering we came in late and asked to eat in! Highly recommend the bouyiordi and tyrokefteri dip! The gyros pitas were also really good. Wish I had one of these near me!

Our yesterday's dinner was a pleasant surprise! Very tasty Greek souvlaki, skepasti and Kypriaki pitta. The hit was the bouyiourdi, which was amazing. You just made new clients guys! Congrats and keep the quality as is.

Perfect in every aspect. Definitely the right spot for Greeks, greek delicacies food and drinks! Will definitely become a regular 😊

I had a beautifully made moussaka with my friend kim, and the portion was very generous.I am very pleased and would highly recommend Just Greek.The food is delicious.Thank you.I look forward to my next delicious meal from this lovely restaurant.❤️

It was amazing great people great food lovely shop 👌😊

Stopped off on our way out of adventure Island. Man serving was very pleasant and food was great.

Lovely friendly staff. The food is delicious particularly the mixed boxes. Reasonably priced too .

Dined in on the recommendation of a friend who was Greek Cypriot and said it was the best she’s had in our area. I ordered the gyros club and my partner had the the gyros pitta. I’d ordered the chicken club, but I fortunately was given pork (which came with tzatziki). It was still lovely but the tzatziki was white thick and creamy rather than fresh and light like the original dip we were used to from Greece. The portion was so large that I could only eat half, and we took the rest home. The restaurant was small but well decorated and very typically Greek themed. The Greek music was also lovely, and we would come back again.

I ate chicken souvlaki which I found quite dry. My wife and daughter ordered skepasti and gyros portion which were better. The quantity is good but they charged 10% service charge which I thought was unfair considering that the place feels more like a fast food joint than a proper restaurant and there was only one waitress running around for everything for no fault of hers. They should keep service charge optional.

I ordered online ! Everything was old !

a very well run family restaurant where the hosts made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. They offered a table with a stunning view to match the service. The greek meze was outstanding.

One of the best greek restaurants i've ever been! Great quality, decent portions, and staff are very friendly and attentive! If you are in the area, is worth trying!

I tried the halumi gyros, which was great value and really tasty. I dont think this is an ideal place to eat if you're vegetarian or vegan. It appears that all the food gets cooked on the same grill.

Good quality of food and the service is really good and friendly, definitely recommended if you are looking to try Greek food

very good food, excellent Greek flavors 100% clean shop, large quantities of food, kind staff, the best in Southend!

We have visited a place as we never been there before, it seems have nice smells of food and food looked delicious. But the main whole problem was the stuff that was extremely rude. I have made a quick choice by the till and my friend was still thinking what he wants and behind as there was people looking at menu, they decided there isn't anything interesting and they walked away,the guy from kitchen come to us and tell us to sit down if we need more time as we make his other customers away when they walked away themselves,so we decided leave too. avoid at all cost this rude place full of greedy owners.

Just Greek when it first opened was the best gyros we've eaten in a long while fresh salad well cooked chips sliced chicken or pork wrapped in a bread and served with lashings of special sauce ... it was that good I think we had it three times in a week however recently we ordered the same but were disappointed aa little or no salad as well as little sauce to a pont I couldn't even taste it ... I was hoping it was a fluke however giving them a last try I can say it tastes completely different i didht have any salad got onions the sauce has been changed and chips needed extra cooking time it's not the same which is a real shame that it's lost its spark!!

Amazing service, Amazing Food.... What a find!!! We will definatley be back!!!

Very authentic Greek food. Friendly staff.

Good food, great service, waitress friendly and helpful, busy but didn’t have to wait long, Good selection on menu, good prices.

Just had dinner here for the first time and absolutely loved it. The food was really tasty and fresh and the portions were generous. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be back. Karen & Gary

Food was amazing fill like you are somewhere in Greece.

Taste of Greece, indeed! The portions are quite generous, so be aware before overordering like I did. The service is fast and efficient. I will definitely be coming back.

Huge portions and great value for money. The style is more like Greek fast food. Unfortunately no air-conditioning inside.

Authentic Greek cuisine! Really nice place as well.

Went there for a coffee this morning. I sat outside because I wanted to vape. There was an empty coffee cup and water bottle on the table, no problem . After waiting nearly 15 minutes for my coffee the guy said could not sit there because it was someone else's table. The 2 men who wanted the table said they had gone to buy cigarettes. Well 15 minutes is a long time when there is a coop next door and a Tesco opposite. The bald guy in the restaurant who i think is the boss was rude. Told me I shouldn't have sat there and I could sit inside, but I said I sat outside to vape. I sat there for nearly 15minutes before they told me to move, why not tell me when I first sat there. I was the only non Greek there. All the Greek customers just sat wherever they wanted. Just to add I waited 10 minutes to get served, fair enough ,the young guy was already serving someone so it means that table had no one sitting there for around 25 minutes .

It was a banger. Just like a Greek snack bar in Greece in fact. The chicken souvlaki was just excellent, perfectly cooked. Everything was just very good. Not a fancy place but very good quality.

Just picked up from here and food is excellent, staff very friendly. Amazed how nice the food was considering I had it takeaway and drove it home before eating. Great price too

Nice place, great food and good portions as well. Friendly stuff so highly recommended!

Great place. Fantastic service. As it changes from more of a take out to a restaurant the atmosphere will improve too but the staff are v friendly

Delicious and fresh food, love it 🩷

We were a party of 3 friends booked for 1915 on a Friday night. The person who picked asked extensively about GF choices and was assured by the manager there were plenty of different dishes and she would advise on the night… this did not happen on the night. On arriving we sat down on a table laid for 5 as the table for 3 was so small the place mat menus overlapped but only after remonstrating were we allowed to sit there Food first Only the kebabs suitable for GF and not the chips and the waitress knew nothing about GF and rice not available although served in the stuffed veggie meal The Moussaka was 4 times the normal size but cold and even after reheated it was mainly inedible The chips side dish was over salted Every time we wanted service we had to go up to the counter No desserts although advised coming in future weeks Coffee was served with sugar in it for those that take sugar and not on the table as usual Now actual place well for 2 hours we were the only party dining and the only female diners … a party of men/ women came about 9 but other single diners were all young men who gobbled down their food and quickly left….. 10+ men outside smoking so entrance blocked to get in and we felt unsafe as an all female party Reasonable prices but we won’t be back and suggest you never come here

Just stopped by to try out and I’m delighted. Service was second to none, really clean restaurant and the food is just amazing. Will go back and I’d 100% recommend to anyone.

Great Takeaway. Was recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. Very nice food. Would happily order from this restaurant again and will definitely be back.

Just picked up 2 take away gyros... And they were delicious. First time i used just greek.... So pleased i found it x brilliant...

A bit sad that the restaurant opened when we moved out of Southend. Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again when we are in the area.

I’ve previously been to a lot of greek restaurants after going to greece for multiple business trips and I have to admit this is the worst in the southend area. The staff were rude and the moussaka was burnt with the gyros full of fatty meat - not good at all. the environment was not as nice as other greek restaurants provide culture as well as lovely food. Very over-priced, will not be going back.

Great place, food was lovely portions massive

My new favourite place to eat seriously this is pure flavour beats any Donna from the Turkish!

Very good dishes and friendly staff

Flawless, Very friendly staff, amazing food, not to expensive. We really enjoyed our lunch. Went in on a recommendation and Can't wait to come back

Finally original Greek food in Southend. The service is quick with polite team members, is just magnificent. I highly recommend this place for people with high standards in Greek cuisine!

The best place and the tastiest good u ever had Absolutely amazing 🥳🥳

Absolutly banging food, tasteful, full of flavour, fresh and has to be my fav greek establishment yet to date, will deffently be going again.

Absolute joke. i went to order food and the service was terrible food is bang average if i wanted a nice shish i would go to any restaurant in southend. appalling including the price for drinks is a scam didn’t know i had to take a mortgage to pay. will not be going back

Service charge is steep. Thought the dolmades tastef like they were from a tin as too oily. Other than that, good night.

As a Greek myself, I can confirm that food was fantastic. Great portions, exceptional quality, very friendly staff and decent prices. Highly recommended it! Thank you very much guys!

It was fine, but the acoustics were not. Too loud. Probably won't go back.

Good Greek food at a good price served by friendly staff

Absolutely amazing Greek food,beyond my expectations!!!

Greek cuisine restaurant, very tasty (gyros with chicken), great coffee. Friendly staff, clean, Greek music. Thanks for the good vibes!!!

The food was fresh and service friendly 🥰🥰🥰

Good honest Greek food reasonably priced. Great service. Will come again.

Amazing cooked meals that taste just like you would expect in Greece. We are Greek and this is the type of food our grandparents would cook. AMAZING

Came here this evening with my mum and we loved it. The decor inside is beautiful. The food was insane, especially for someone who hasn’t had Greek food before. The guy we spoke to was lovely (think it was the owner), service is fab. Great value for money. Will definitely be back…. Super impressed. Thank you so much!! Definitely get yourself here if you haven’t already :))

Just went in for a light dinner absolutely delicious, will definitely go back.

The best greek restaurant I have ever tried in the UK. High quality food, good prices and everything is so good.

Lovely to enjoy some hours with my cousins at Just Greek. A wonderful place to have delicious meals , also very comfortable and friendly staff.☆☆☆☆☆

Great experience 🙂 good atmosphere, very helpful staff combined with great prices 🙂 I would absolutely recommend this place 🙂

Perfect place with perfect staff, perfect food, perfect music. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥

Working in Southend for a month and can’t stay away from this place! Absolutely top notch souvlaki and gyros, delicious chips (topped with proper Greek oregano 🙌) and pillowy pitta. Lovely friendly staff too. Highly recommended!

Great food here - only had the gyros but its perfect. Very authentic and great value. Will be coming here more regularly for sure

Hate to give poor reviews but this take away was very very average. Chicken kebabs, little cubes of chicken, hard and dry as hell, soggy chips and uninspiring flat bread and salad. Plus the unexpected use of herbs scattered all over the place - which I really don’t like. Take it or leave it? Well I’d leave it and probably won’t return. You need to up the anti guys or your business won’t survive the year…

You feel Greece in England! ❤️ Friendly environment and the quality of the food is wonderful.

Really like it food and staff great being here twice now defo go back
