Papa George in Thanet

How have we not heard of this place before is beyond me! What an absolute little gem! With family visiting from abroad we often do a mixture of cooking, eating out and take aways! Tonight we really fancied Greek and chose Papa George... As we went to collect our order from the distance we were greeted by a beautiful Greek music and as we entered the restaurant we were warmly greated and treated to a complementary bottle of Greek wine and an extra Baklava! Food - absolutely stunning!! Amazing starters! Mixed grill for 2 was more than enough for 2 adults and 2 small children. And last but not least- Baklava - better then the one we had in Greece! You got yourself new regulars Papa George! THANK YOU!

I had a takeaway and it was inedible and a complete waste of money

Was greeted very nicely, given complimentary bread and spanakopitas which were very nice, however when it came to ordering the main meal, I ordered a skepasti with no tomatoes, as I have a light allergy to tomatoes, yet it arrived with tomatoes, I then sent it back, and they returned it having just picked out the tomatoes, I informed them that I could see it was just picked out, and that I have an allergy so they made a new one fresh after that. When the skepasti arrived it had too much garlic mayo in that both my girlfriend and I felt very sick after.

The best host you can ever meet. And the food is delicious, homemade with love. Must go and don’t leave without saying hi to George ♥️

The REAL feel of hospitality and Mediterranean generosity. We were planning for a take out but ended up having dinner with George. Such a great pleasure! Homey food - mom cooks and daughter helps serve the tables. I wouldn’t recommend any other place in Ramsgate. Keep it up legend!

Amazing food and amazing service from george we will be back for sure 😊😋

Great food, service and incredible hospitality from George.

The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. Cash only.

Lovely food and a warm welcome from the owner

The food was great, the baklava was superb. The best part is Papa George himself. Thank you beautiful person!!

A great little find, food was 5* service 5* and papa George full of love, so glad we chose this restaurant

Found restaurant by chance on day trip to ramsgate. Can't fault anything. Food was brilliant so we had to share a dessert. Staff so friendly. Can't wait to go back to ramsgate again so we won't have to look anywhere else for lunch.

There can only be one rating - 5 stars! Great food, worth every price, small but beautifully decorated place! Very nice service! I highly recommend this place if someone wants to eat tasty food.Ευχαριστώ!

Visited recently with my family, we were all very impressed with the food, excellent choices, real authentic Greek food and brilliant service!

Decent Food, seems to thrive on takeaway custom - Service is very 'greek' aka almost zero customer service, confusing and chaotic for them and the customers - They forgot what one of us ordered whilst we were the only two people in there! Worth a go but prepared to be assertive with what you want/order!

the best spot for dinner in Ramsgate! Brilliant flavour, music and charm, would thoroughly recommend :)

Hasn’t turned up and there is no number to call you on. It just goes to voicemail

Absolutely gorgeous food, owner is a fantastic man and extremely accommodating and personable 10/10 recommend

DELICIOUS souvlaki, lovely owner. Highly recommend!

Never had such bad Greek food before bifteki Came from the chip shop, a shame that this can call itself a Greek restaurant

We saw Papa George had a 4.9 rating on google reviews so we drove 30min to Ramsgate to come and check it out. Hands down best Greek food I’ve had in the UK. It was worth the drive - best meal we’ve had on our holiday having spent a week on the Kent coast. 100% recommend - sit outside next to the speaker in the plant pot to lap up full atmosphere as the sun sets over ramsgate harbour.

A family run gem. Small but with a big heart. Good food and vibes.

i didnt go to the restaurant i ordered but oh m gee its the best pizza ever

Passionate Greek family run restaurant. Very friendly and lovely food

Well what can i say…this place is simply fantastic. amazing food, amazing people. So glad i found this little treasure in York street, Ramsgate. The food is so authentic and absolutely delicious but to be perfectly honest its the service that makes this place somewhere you do not want to miss

Incredible food! Could not recommend more! We made a large order for delivery and the team were amazing, the communication was second to none. The food was out of this world, so flavourful and traditional. If you want tasty food and to support a local business, I would 100% recommend Papa George! Thank you so much!

Our favourite lunch spot, always first class.

Our experience was 10/10 with amazing service from all the staff, they were all helpful friendly. The atmosphere was very welcoming and warm. The food was absolutely lovely it was all fresh and hot unlike most restaurants around Thanet. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The food was absolutely amazing! Such good chicken I would definitely recommend if you love Greek food!

A fantastic experience from start to finish, Papa George himself poured us shots, gave us complimentary deserts and nibbles for the table. The atmosphere is very homey and feels like you could easily be in a family kitchen. Definitely a gem of Ramsgate and the dining in experience is the best way to experience the lovely staff and host! Couldn't have been happier.

What a lovely little restaurant xx great food lovely people highly recommend

Great service, food arrived hot and fresh. Will use again 👌

Sent the wrong meal but it was very nice so cannot complain 👍😁

Happened by this tiny restaurant and had a lovely lunch. Delicious home cooked food and perfect service in a cosy homely setting. The tzatziki was to die for! Thank you 😊

Great fresh food. Highly recommended to stop by!

Food is always absolutely amazing, especially the mix grill, so lush every time! I wish you guys took over some bigger space as restaurant's tiny but still, we love it! ❤

Great food, Great Atmosphere and Great owner as well.

We walked around Ramsgate looking for a place to eat and remembered Papa George from a brief search on Google. We were lucky enough to find a table and meet Papa George as well, it’s rare to find such a kind genuine person. The food was 10/10, exceptional service and the ladies cooking and serving are lovely. We will definitely return when we visit again. Many thanks for everything Papa George!

Such an amazing time at Papa George tonight. The baked aubergine was so delicious and the special attention from Papa George himself made it an evening to remember. Will definitely be back.

Came in ordered our food, they were really nice and accommodating to me (I’m fussy about food), just finished eating and I have to say that was amazing I’ll be back soon!

Went to Papa George for a meal with friends this valentines, all the staff were so kind and extremely generous. Food was absolutely delicious, service was fast, overall a lovely experience! Would 100% visit again. Thank you!!

Wow what a special place. Fresh and exquisite food. True family values being served in this establishment, with George being utterly entertaining. Best Souvlaki I have had.

Great little spot… souvlaki was delicious

This restaurant exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It's clear that the team is passionate about providing a top-notch dining experience with love and passion. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable culinary journey. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Thank you team, it’s not just dinner but a memory.

Absolutely amazing service and amazing quality. Everything was done tasty! Thank you, papa George! The delivery was also quick and efficient

Absolutely amazing restaurant, the food is top quality - the service is also top quality. Always made to feel very welcome! I could not recommend this place enough! AMAZING!

Went in today to pick up dinner. They were amazing, gave us a cheeky red wine whilst we waited and was amazing to my niece as well. Food was amazing and great value!

I have been lucky to know of Papa George since I came to Ramsgate. This is a family that shows love in the food they prepare. There is nothing better than their pork souvlaki wrap. Those who haven't tried should. Thanks again Papa George

Fabulous restaurant with great food, really nice owner and a family atmosphere - highly recommend!

Never a bad order from here! On time, hot, incredible food (and delivery guy) 😋

Only thing I could ask for in the Meat Box is maybe just more Meat.. reduce the bread too compensate, called a Meat box for more Meat in the box... other than that I love the place

We decided to order takeaway, had chicken and halloumi souvlaki and a pork souvlaki. The food arrived quickly, and was outstanding. Easily the best souvlaki I’ve had.

Small but beautiful . Very good food quality

Food was hot delivered much faster than expected and absolutely delicious we will be ordering again! Thanks

Very generous hosts! Complimentary wine and baklava, the food was great and the portions were huge!

Family restaurant, excellent food a 10!! Fantastic site

Amazing !! Best food, really nice people working there definitely recommend!!!

Enjoyed our mixed grill for 2 Delivered on requested time as we was trying to get my son to bed , brilliant service , food was cooked perfectly and so much of it for two people , will definitely be ordering from Papa George again.

Nothing makes me happier than their food

Sorry, I confused the place, didn't know the name of where I took breakfast. Probably across the road from this place.

The food and atmosphere were amazing, little gem restaurant

Great food, great atmosphere! Good veggie options. It was all really delicious. Loved the cold starter plate.

This is amazing food done simply and beautifully. The proprietor is one of the world's greats, very worth a visit.

Came here for a date night, and it was one of the nicest experiences we've had in a restaurant! Food was delicious, authentic and speedy. Atmosphere and service was very friendly. Will be coming back again!

An absolutely beautiful chaotic gem. George is full of character and the food was absolutely delicious! A wonderful little spontaneous find on our visit to Ramsgate - would recommend to anyone 🥰

Been here 3 times everytime i came to visit from london best greek food ever

Lovely small place, loved it, generous portion and very nice food, owner very friendly and welcoming

Charming small restaurant much better than your average Souvlaki. Will be coming back.

Great service and the food was fantastic.

Came back to Ramsgate especially to visit Papa George's. We visited 3 years ago and had a fabulous meal .Wasn't disappointed this time either . Great Food .Great Gentleman with a lovely family. Highly recommended . Thanks guys .

Lovely cosy restaurant with traditional Greek food with a great atmosphere and excellent service Thank you Papa G.

Always amazing food super tasty. Highly recommend the mix grill for 2 and the bbq pork. Next level

The souvlaki here is so tasty. One of the best places to eat in Ramsgate. Local business and lovely people.

What a beautiful experience . visited papa George yesterday and I could hear & feel the Greek atmosphere from a far. Very warm welcome as soon as we walked in the service was spot on٫ & papa George was so funny with his humor . Definitely the best tavern in to town٫ if you don't visit you are missing out

The welcome is as good as the cuisine, simply exceptional! Greek cuisine, only better.

Mixed grill for two, ate it all myself, too much for one person but it was so good I couldn’t help it. Well done George and team.

Lovely family run restaurant. Very accommodating with vegetarian options. Delicious fresh food. Highly recommend 😋

Fab food, great service. Will definitely be back

Food is excellent, really tasty and authentic. The atmosphere is so nice and you feel like you are in Greece. Totally recommend it! Papa George is the best.

both the chicken+halloumi wrap and cheese pie were so nice, so friendly and food delicious!

Incredible meal, homemade fresh and authentic Greek food with great service! A favourite and will be returning! Thanks Papa George ❤️

All cooked to perfection as always.

lovely lovely lovely!! Their yog and honey is the best

Lovely food. All tasted really fresh. Had the mixed grill for two and will definitely order again. Also lovely chilli sauce. Thank you!

We ordered the mixed grill for two. Delivery was quick and food was in foil lined boxes, so very hot. The meats and sausages were all beautifully cooked and tender. Nice salad included as was pitta. There was no chips stated on the menu so we ordeded two. One plain and one with cheese, they were def not needed as there were plenty in the box and onion rings too. Good value, recommended if you want a tasty meal.

Food was delicious and Papa George was so friendly!

George is an engaging man who is interested in you and likes to tell you about his life. He offered us a glass of Metaka and invited us to sit at his table. We enjoyed the delicious mixed grill and the hospitality of him and his wife. Highly recommended for people who like pure and good food!

Great tasty food! Good delivery service and excellent portion sizes. Well worth the money x

If you like authentic Greek food in a relaxed welcoming restaurant then you must put this place on your to do list, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent meal and very good service will definitely be back

Amazing food as always the sausage from their we buy as an extra because it’s so nice in top of what food we’ve already ordered

Popped in on the way home from the beach. Amazing food, lovely service too. Highly recommend!

Had a great meal there. Staff are proper wicked. Loved the food. Red hot place. Go there. Yeah boy.

A very small place but has a lot of heart and serves traditional Greek food. It's a bit pricey but worth a visit

A hidden gem, the food is amazingly fresh and the family run charm adds to the overall experience. George is certainly passionate about good food and uses only the best ingredients, which he mentioned are imported weekly from Greece! We were very happy with our meals, which were also very reasonably priced. You have got yourselves a new loyal customer, we will definitely be back!

Always high quality, tasty food delivered ontime.

What an amazing night!! Came here to eat in the restaurant for my birthday celebrations. So so friendly and some of the best service we've received. The food was so tasty and fresh! We can't wait to come back to eat in and take away

Astonishingly good. Discovered when we wandered past while staying overnight in Ramsgate, went in with no particular expectations but had also eaten in the Polish Bistro earlier in the day (also excellent) so decided to have a day of less obvious foreign food & so glad that we did, & also that they could fit us in as they only have three tables + a window-seat indoors, so keep that in mind & book ahead! So hood in fact that wd kept talking about it when we were back in Canterbury & used a friend's birthday as an excuse to go back there just a fortnight later from an hour's drive away.

The food was delicious and plentiful. Papa George was very welcoming. Well worth a visit

Lovely food and people! Always fresh tasty food from here , the restaurant itself is like walking in on a Greek restaurant on holiday, so nice to have food from somewhere where they put so much lobe and passion into their food !Best Greek around by far
