Papa George in Thanet - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A tiny restaurant but what a find! We visited as a group of 4 friends & had a very warm welcome from the owner. The food was to die for - the best gyros pita I’ve had outside of Greece! Thank you for an amazing meal 😊

This restaurant is excellent, lovely authentic feel. George is an excellent cook and hostess. Lovely family run business. The food is excellent quality. Definitely recommend. Only negative is the restaurant is small only three tables inside!

I visited this place based on reviews that I had seen. I instantly wanted to have a mixed grill as I have visited lots of Greek restaurants in Greece and the U.K many times and fancied some authentic Greek food! Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. I found the quality of the meat very underwhelming. The chicken was not like any chicken I have had before at Greek restaurant. It was more like chicken fajita meat and not juicy chargrilled chicken. The meat platter also mainly consisted of pork, rather than lamb, chicken and sausage and I found that disappointing. The chips, bread, salad and 2 dips were nice and the atmosphere was spot on to a Greek Taverna but the meat is very low quality and definitely not worth £40.00. Just when I thought the disappointment couldn't get any worse I was then charged £4.50 service charged which I found cheeky. Its fair to say I definitely won't be returning.

It’s a tiny space but do not let that put you off. Great atmosphere, great food and excellent value. The slow cooked lamb is a must have and one plate is plenty for two people. Wine at £20 a bottle - it’s a pot luck system, don’t ask for a wine list, it’s white or red! Family run, very friendly.

Cannot recommend the food more - and cannot thank the owner (who is a proper character) for such a warm welcome. They are also wonderfully dog friendly, which is much appreciated.
