Meat the Greek in Guildford

Been coming here for atleast 8 years, absolutely amazing but since moving next door quality/ service seems to of changed ( got served 2 cold pork souvlaki’s on different occasions which I let them off the first😂) and prices obviously increased massively. Still great but standards changed….

Delicious Greek food one of the best places in Guildford would recommend to anyone and everyone

Highly recommend Meat the Greek

Greeted by smiles and seated within a minute. Liked how easy the app worked and the food was such good value and quality with a variety that impressed me.

I have been a regular for the past 10 years, but unfortunately the quality has deteriorated whilst the price has more than double e.g. £8 for a yeeros consisting in mostly cold fries, little meat and tiny slice of tomato. I dont mind paying more as long as the quality is there, so I am hoping they become as good as they were.

Great to try out the new, extensive seating area. Food a great as ever

lovely restaurant with friendly staff. restaurant decor was very clean and simple. and could not fault the food was absolutely spot on! 10/10

Absolutely delicious Greek food! Great customer service and atmosphere

The gyros and generally the food is very very good, service is good and atmosphere is nice in the new store.Greek hospitality is missing, and greek music.

Have known this establishment for more than 10 years and I was dissapointed with their unwelcoming approach. We tried visiting this evening and despite being empty, staff/owner looked disengaged and not welcoming. It is not clear where the 'front' desk is or who's in charge. Not the usual expected friendly 'Greek' environment and certainly not dog friendly. We went to the dog friendly Vietnamise Pho instead. Shame really.

My recent visit to Meat the Greek was nothing short of spectacular. This new restaurant offers a variety of kebabs (souvlaki) that are as close to the authentic Greek taste as possible. Whether you’re a meat lover or a vegetarian, there’s something for everyone, with an array of different types of meats and vegetarian options to satisfy any taste. The space is ample, making it perfectly suited to accommodate a large group of people dining in. If you’re looking to enjoy a meal that feels genuinely Greek, Meat the Greek should definitely be on your list.

Amazing little place could not fault it in any way friendly staff and quick service food was tasty and reasonably priced 5 star

We went to the new restaurant. The food was incredible as always and the service was insanely quick. Our food arrived in a few minutes. Will definitely be coming back.

Best Greek food I’ve had, service was good and atmosphere in the shop was amazing.

Lovely renovations of their new space and the food is always consistently delicious.

Clean, good food, friendly staff, ideal for a quick bite at lunchtime

Having sampled many take a ways we thought we would try the new restaurant recently opened . Impressions when entering was one of being immediately spotless , the decor modern and well planned . We arrived at 12 noon and ordered . The staff were pleasant and attentive . This is a restaurant where you order and the take a seat . The drinks arrived within two minutes . The food was excellent and well presented and in our party all plates were devoured . The toilets are spotless . Within twenty minutes half the tables were full and by the time we left the restaurant was full . Hats off to the management transforming the business into a successful restaurant maintaining quality and presentation is super to see . We will return !!!

The restaurant locates in an alley, but it is clean and spacious to hang out with family and friends. The food is fantastic and the staff there is extremely friendly. There is an option to order online and have food delivered either to a table or for collection. I love the Pita Wrap since the amount is sufficient, not too much as the meal one. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place for lunch and dinner, or even a click-and-collect.

Nice food. Pork souvlaki is tender and the gyros is well flavoured. One of the best gyros around. They have been doing well for many years and have recently expanded to dine in!

Quick tasty Greek favourites. Great for lunch or when on the move. Olive oil in large canister available to purchase. Portions adequate. Tight on the sauces/sides.

It used to be a great place to eat. Through time I've noticed a considerable drop in quality and portions whilst prices went up. If you order at home, the food is not even near to what you will get at the restaurant. I once ordered the Greek salad at home and half of it was onions. It was good to see that they upgraded to a much bigger space these days, but hopefully they consider to make the food what it used to be a while ago when they read my review. I would give a few more stars, as I had previously rated them with 5, but the owner spoke with attitude when we light a ciggarete sitting outside in the old restaurant, whilst we were regular customers and without any signance disallowing it which we would have respected. I recently heard that they spoke bad and made a scene to another friend of mine for saying the the fries were cold and the owner made a scene to a pregnant woman for having said that. I prefer to make homemade wraps at home due to the above and wait for the next trip to Greece for proper Greek food. Next time book a trip to Greece, it will cost less and the food will be amazing.

Wonderful, I recommend it, excellent food and atmosphere, I spent £16 and left completely satisfied, I would pay 10x

Amazing food, really well cooked, served got and delicious flavours, a simple menu but yet plenty of options. I like the speed of ordering with a QR code and paying online. Food is delivered quickly and quality consistent, seems popular for family so just have to choose a side with no young children if you want a quieter meal. Plenty of seating and mix gender toilets. Overall amazing food for a good price in a casual setting.

That's the best Greek restaurant I've been in the UK. Their meat, salads, pitta breads, environment, literally everything is proper Greek. Even though it's 40 min drive from where I live, I'm definitely going back. If you're in Guildford, instead of wasting money in restaurants you can find in every single town around the UK, do yourself a favour and go to Meat the Greek.

Having been to Meat the Greek numerous times I was excited to visit their new sit down area. As usual the souvlaki and gyros were outstanding! Only suggestion I have is to maybe decorate the venue a little bit more Greek?

Ordered to collect, the food was stone cold. They clearly served us some old ones that had been sat out because it was all cold including the chips. Wasn’t worth the money and would have been nice to have known. Would recommend eating in so you can at least ask for a replacement.

My friend and myself visited on 17/02/24 early afternoon. It was busy with families out for lunch, food looked exquisite. We sat at our table, ordered by QR code on table. Food came out fresh after 5-10mins. The taste of the food was mouth watering and sooo tasty. I would recommend Meet the Greek to anyone and everyone, I will definitely will return. A1 keep up the great work :)

I'm very disappointed. I've been eating in this place for years. A few times the fries and meat in my sandwich came cold, which I ignored. Today, I decided with my friend to complain to the staff who immediately offered to replace it. After 3 minutes the manager came and told me off in from of the other customers. He asked me why I had to wait for 10 minutes to complain...then he said 20...he was really rude and disrespectul. They should show more respect and listen to their customers.

The heart and soul of Guildford

The best Greek street food 🥙 you could possibly get in uk 🇬🇧! Maybe better then traditional food in Greece In the heat for Guildford you can taste Greek Gyros or chicken souvlaki and feel like you’re in Greece🇬🇷 already The stuff always happy to help you The food really good What more you need ? Go and check out that place ppl!

Been coming for years, the best Greek food we’ve found outside of Greece. Absolutely faultless always. Staff are so friendly. A little snippet of greece in Surrey 🇬🇷 🧿🤍

Best souvlaki outside Greece. And now they have moved next door there is a lot more space to eat in. Fantastic!

We moved to Guildford a year ago and we are obsessed with this place! Great value, delicious Gyros and speedy service, so happy they have moved into a bigger premises, the new restaurant is great for a casual lunch/ dinner :)

This is still one of the best places to go if you want a quick but delicious meal. They've recently renovated and added more indoor seating, so it can fit more people now. I'll always be a loyal customer! P.S. I'm not sure if they allow outside drinks, but I always bring coffee when I go because my partner and I don't usually drink soda when we eat out. Luckily, they didn't mind me bringing it in.

Always exceptional. Quick friendly service. And the new premises next door to the original just elevate it to the next level. Highly recommend!!

Took my family out for a quick and casual Sunday lunch. The souvlaki and the kebab pita wrap with their respective sauces were all very tasty. The kids later topped up with some soft ice-cream while the parents shared the baklava. Very fulfilling, and the newly expanded seating space really made an entire difference for being a more family friendly option! Looking forward to coming back already!

Delicious food - nicely cooked meat, crunchy fries and tzatziki was second to none. All very affordable. And cool concept of Greek fast food. Will be back!

Authentic Greek food, reasonably priced, nice new premises

Very good food. Friendly staff. Cleanest restaurant I’ve seen.

Really amazing. The food was great and you wouldn't believe how quickly it arrived at the table after ordering. Service was 10/10. The new restaurant is good too. The food can be a bit messy to eat, so having a table and table service is really good. Toilets were spot on and the food could be ordered via the app. I wish I took a picture, but the food didn't hang around!!

Divine souvlaki and super friendly staff, I really enjoyed it! I'm Greek and this souvlaki is much better than many of the ones in Greece. A must-try if you find yourself in Guildford!!

And a happy new year to everyone...........

The newly refurbished restaurant had a lovely modern minimalist feel. Great to see staff cleaning the tables as soon as customers were finished. However was very disappointed when our wraps arrived with stone cold chips and ingredients. Staff were more than happy to replace the dishes however it was clear the chef had only popped them in the microwave for a few minutes as the dish arrived back luke warm. Very disappointing as overall flavours of the dish was delicious. It would have only taken a few minutes to replace the dish with a fresh order. Especially given chips are normally piping hot when they are freshly cooked.

Been coming here since it opened , always 10/10 and so much better now they’ve expanded you can sit in and order from your table.

My favarite place in Guildford. Never let me down, thank you.

Love the new place! Food was as good as ever but now great music and lots of room to sit and enjoy. Excellent!!!

Amazing food!! Love it, pretty much a weekly favourite :) They are adding more seating to the restaurant, hope they don't change the menu

This place is absolutely brilliant, I visit often for a small meal whilst I am in Guildford. Food is authentic, fresh and very tasty.

If you are uncertain where to get food in Guildford, go to Meat the Greek. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced. Staff are super friendly and service is very quick, even at peak times.

Hadn't visited for 2 years and all I can say is yummy food to warm your heart. Fabulous

Always feel so welcomed by the friendly staff, and low prices for amazing food! Have recommended to everyone I know, and will be back as a regular customer!

2020: pita wrap at £4.40 2022: pita wrap at £6.90 2023: pita wrap at £8.80 OVERPRICED. Very poor customer service. Cold food.

Very friendly & fast service from the team and a truly great authentic Greek taste yummy! Even loved the cute Christmas headband, ha ha ha I will definitely visit here again soon.

They are very rude, I got home 20mins away to discover they had given me the wrong food and they wouldn't change it because of the 'time limit'. The food was great but overpriced for what it was (that I didn't order!). It's a shame because it's a great place otherwise but it's let itself down. Check your order before you leave.

delicious tasty greek fast food. Really enjoyed will be back!

The best food and especially most delicious Galaktoboureko you can ever have in your life! 😍

They serve good quality Greek food, it's same flavours as you can get them in Greece.

If gourmet fast food is a thing, this place is where to find it. Rapid service and quality of food is exceptional. There is indoor and outdoor seating. While seating is limited, there is always the option of takeaway and eating on a bench in the Guildford castle park nearby.

True Greek food. So happy to have found Meat the Greek!

I’m Greek and this place tastes like the best of home. I go all the time and it never disappoints! Absolutely DELICIOUS

Woweeee this place is amazing! Such good value and delicious, high quality food!

We had the pork gyros meal (not the lunch portion) and we found the portions too small for £14. Huge disappointment.

This place was delicious! Quick drinks and great food that came out in under 5 minutes. It was so good, we were surprised the tab with drinks was under 15 Euros. Recommend the pork souvlaki wrap!

Really tasty but prices have doubled in the space of a year on some items. Feels opportunistic. £5 for tzatziki and 2.50 for a can of coke is ridiculous

Great little gem. The service was super fast, the portions were good and it was all delicious!!! I loved every bite

Excellent Greek food. Reasonably priced. Limited seating.

The best Greek gyros food you could find in this country. Best quality, best customer service and of course friendly prices. 100% recommend.

A friend had recommended this place and we were not disappointed. The bread, the fillings, the taste were very good. You have a choice of grilled meats or the shaved ones from the rotisserie. It’s simple and nice and good choices. We were able to sit outside on a nice afternoon and whilst it’s more of a fast food, we all enjoyed the experience and will go again as a nice break from shopping in Guildford.

I've only had chicken gyros here, and it's so good I'm not interested in anything else... chicken gyros every time. This place is tucked away in a neat little attractive alleyway. There are tables inside and outside, beer in the fridge and very fast service. It's my favourite spot for a quick lunchtime meal in guildford.

The best place to have lunch in Guildford!

Really good food, generous portions. Small place, very popular with fast service. Recommended.

Lovely Greek kebabs :) can't fault them at all. Lunch time gyros mix portions are great too.

Very tasty Greek food! Ideal place for a quick lunch when it’s sunny. Try the souvlaki with a cold beer!

I'm reaching out to you guys because I feel that we are a family now. I've been a lifelong fan of Meat the Greek, and I remember the days of the £3.50 yeeros wraps like it was yesterday. But today's prices are not the reason for this review. I would've happily paid up to £10 for a wrap back in those days. But now, not so much. The quality of the yeeros has deteriorated far beyond my wildest imagination. Every component of its construction from the meat to the pita is just SO DRY. Where are the fervent meat juices that so intimately tantilised my tastebuds? Why are the fries so shrivelled and dehydrated, lacking any kind of seasoning that once made them great? The lack of mustard mayo? I could go on, but I won't. You know what you've done! Cheaped out on quality until your product was nothing more than a shell of its former glory. Please fix it! All life depends on it.

Great Greek fast food. Traditional style Gluten-free options: The server could confidently advise me on what I could eat with my allergens and super fast service.

Great and tasty food, been served in less than 10 mins after we've placed our order. We will eat there again soon. 5*

Best Greek Gyros in Guildford.Traditional Greek flavours and great service.

Best Gyro and best souvlakia in the UK so far.. by far.

Great food, quick takeaway service

Mental scenes from the fellas. Was a really good meal, decent price. Can’t complain. Was a culinary ecstatic experience, with a combustion of delightful Athenian flavours. Would recommend to my fellow prospective diners. 👌🏻😩

The perfect Greek restaurant. Το απόλυτο ελληνικό σουβλατζίδικο! MGR MY GREEK RADIO speaking...

Regular spot for lunch Lots of options, their lunch pita wraps are just so good and their greek salad is delicious! Quick, delicious food and good simple service Fantastic

Such good food. True quality greek food. A hidden gem of Guildford

An amazing little greek eatery. Excellent food and service.

Touch of Greek! Excellent food, quick service. The best fast food place where I’ve been a long time!😊

Visiting Athens for the first time from the US. I’ll be back here every time I visit. The owner is great! Grows his own olives and produces his own olive oil. Food was delicious and super filling. If I could give it more stars I would. (Bonus: very clean restroom!)

good service best munch out there

Prices ridiculous on deliveroo! £20 for a meal for 1!!! I used to love this place and get deliveries regularly. Won’t be using moving forward.

Really tasty an reasonably priced.

Best souvlaki in the United Kingdom Delicious top quality ingredients best wrap technique spesialists Weldone Giannis Theodorou and partners

Zero flavour. Simply putting together ingredients does not make a dish.

The food here used to be amazing but unfortunately the whole experience has gone down hill in the last year. Prices have gone up drastically but the portion sizes has gone down. I never used to finish a Chicken Yeeros box meal but now I can finish it and still feel hungry.

Best wraps in the area for sure. The extra virgin olive oil they sell there is also good. The only disappointing thing for me is that they don’t sell the chocolate baklavas anymore 😁

🍴 If you're craving Greek food and looking for an affordable option, Meat the Greek is the place to go. This restaurant serves up some of the best souvlaki gyros in town, and it's no wonder why my friends and I come here frequently.

Πάρα πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση ευγενικό προσωπικό και τέλειο ΣΟΥΒΛΑΚΙ!!!!

Super bon repas, très bien servi. Nous avions pris un plat gyros de porc. L'assiette était très bien servie, il y avait de tout en quantité correcte. Rapport qualité prix plus que correcte vu la quantité !

Good gyros wraps. Quick service. Very limited seating. Prices are decent.

The food here is delicious and the service was great

Gyros! Whats not to like!! Pork gyros platter is mint. Chips and flat bread are boss and a nice onion and tomato salad to boot. Ztakziki is lush

Really very tasty gyros! However, a plate is now £14, and it's not the size it used to be I don't think. I realise prices go up, but all the same it's quit e a change I think. We came a few times in lockdown to help support our local favourties and the portions have got smaller since then. Even my very average eating 10 year old could polish one off with ease. Also, there's quite a small amount of tatziki on the plate, maybe a tablespoon, not nearly enough for the amount of meat and bread. It also came with about 1/4 of a tomato, sliced. When we asked for a spoonful more tatziki we we offered to purchase a pot for a price. At £45 for one adult and two kids, for effectively a small kebab and chips, squeeezed on to a small table in a cold draught, I don't think it's too much to let us have a spoonful more as an inclusion in the meal. There are several local posh turkish and lebanese restaurants that would charge around £15 for a two skewer plate of chicken or lamb, lots of salad and unlimited bread, in a smart setting with waiter service. And that's pure meat cubes, this is gyros. Come on chaps, I think your prices are a bit too high, and you're being a bit stingey now! There was another couple/yound family squeezed up next to us, who also mentioned how the sizes seem to have reduced and prices raised. The food earns 5 stars, but I have to give only 3 stars overall, sorry. Be a bit more generous next time someone asks for a little more tatziki.
