Simply Greek in Edinburgh, City of

We had a brilliant meal here, the server was really helpful and friendly. I would recommend the food to anyone who was visiting Edinburgh

Great atmosphere, very nicely decorated, delicious food and impeccable service! I highly recommend

AMAZING food. I've been here quite a lot, it is one of my favorite restaurants in Edinburgh. Prices are great for the big portions you get.

Walked past and looked good so went it. Brilliant little find. Welcoming staff, nice and clean decor. Lovely menu and the food did not disappoint. Several salads and a couple of meat dishes. All excellent. The aubergine and beetroot salad deserve a special mention.

In short, great friendly customer service and amazing Greek grill!!! We had the chicken gyros and mixed grill as well as dolmadakia (rice in vine leaves). Well portioned and deliciously grilled!! We left with happy tummies and will be back again as there were a couple of interesting dishes to try. They have a bright interior with lots of Greek features - love it

Fantastic place. Can’t wait to come back!

A nice experience. Food was good - we had the mezzes. Good for vegetarian food with good choice and surroundings. Good service. Reasonably priced,albeit the wine is expensive - but the Greek wine was surprisingly good.

Came here for my birthday, never felt more special before in my life! No embarrassing songs, but the staff went out of their way to ensure I enjoyed my time!! Huge shout out to the bartender (who I apologise, I cannot remember your name) you really made our experience absolutely amazing!! As alwys will definitely be back again!!

Cálida bienvenida a la llegada del personal. La decoración del restaurante era preciosa. Servicio rápido. La comida era deliciosa, porciones generosas y a un precio razonable. Muy recomendable.

Fantástica comida. Gran relación calidad-precio y un gran servicio. El ambiente es encantador y el personal es muy servicial. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

The food came slowly. They didn't have the chicken gyros, so I decided to order the pork one. The portion size was good, but the meat quality was not. It was 90% fatty "meat". I didn't feel well after eating it. I've had gyros many times in Greece and other places in Scotland, but it just can't compare. Also, I wasn't pleased that the ouzo was served with so much ice. I prefer to add it by myself. Probably I will not be back.

Food it's amaizing,portions are very big and the dessert...haven in your mouth😍😍😍

Food was absolutely delicious - best Greek food I've had in Edinburgh! Nice atmosphere and polite staff. But I'm put off going back as they rush you out after only an hour and a half. An hour and a half is not enough time to enjoy a proper meal out somewhere - this is supposed to be a nice restaurant, not fast food.

I had the chicken gyros wrap it was very very tasty great atmosphere designed nicely inside very Greek styling

Food and service was excellent, but very disappointed that this restaurant's 1.5 hour policy was only mentioned when we were finishing our mains. It was like having a bucket of cold water flung over us. We felt very unwelcome. I cannot understand the logic of this policy, as Simply Greek missed out on our dessert and coffee order, which we had in a lovely Italian across the road. Has put me off ever coming back, despite the excellent food and service. What a shame for the hard working staff, that they are let down by such an idiotic policy!

We had an amazing meal at this lovely Greek restaurant! The gyros and halloumi wraps were packed with flavour, and the flogeres and kolokithakia tiganita were crispy and delicious. The tzatziki was fresh and creamy, while the aubergine salad and the mpougiounti were a flavourful highlight. Don’t miss the pastries – they were the perfect sweet finish! The cocktails were creative and well-made, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A must-visit for Greek food lovers in Edinburgh!

Delicious Greek food. We had the aubergine salad as we were missing the melitzanosalata and it was pretty spot on! Chicken skewers and gyros were tasty. Staff were attentive and the restaurant had a good atmosphere.

Amazing theme on the interior. We had the chicken gyros wraps (just in time before they sold out) and they came out extremely quickly. Food and service was great. Unfortunately got billed someone else’s more expensive bill but staff was apologetic and resolved quickly.

Best greek food in town by far, amazing staff and amazing environment, highly recommended

We have visited the restaurant today (we didnt book and although they were fully booked, they have been able to accommodate us with a short wait at the bar), the food was so delicious (chicken skewer and chicken gyros). The tzatziki sauce was yummy. The atmosphere was very good and the staff friendly. The only downfall is that there was no small side greek salad. It would have been too much for us to order a big one so we didnt but would have been nice to have a small option.

Fantastic greek food. The lamb cutlets were excellent and the massive deserts at the end were delicious. Highly recommend

Really friendly staff. Well decorated restaurant with greek theming. Food reasonably priced and tasty. Drinks a little on the expensive side.

Oh, my darlings, Simply Greek is a gastronomic revelation, a veritable *tour de force* of Hellenic hospitality and flavor! The staff, bless their hearts, are so effervescent and accommodating, one might think they were plucked straight from the chorus of *Zorba the Greek*. Their warmth and charm are as inviting as a Mediterranean breeze. And the food—*mon dieu*! Each bite is a sonnet, a love letter to the gods of Olympus. But let us not overlook the pièce de résistance: the Negroni. Simply Greek serves what can only be described as the *best* Negroni in the city—a bold, bittersweet elixir that dances on the palate like a siren’s song. It’s the kind of drink that makes one want to toast to life, love, and the pursuit of culinary excellence. In summation, Simply Greek is a triumph of taste, service, and mixology. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. Brava!

Simply very good. The quality of the products is excellent. The service at the top. You can go there with your eyes closed to enjoy

First time visiting Simply Greek and as a Greek in Edinburgh I had to see by first hand. The positives . Great atmosphere and service ( Athena was one of the best servers, really felt cared for and she was very efficient. Loux cherry soda : I really missed that flavour. Food was very tasty and quality was excellent , very close to the flavours back home. The only thing that left me with a a question mark was the portion size . Was expecting bit more on the plate for the price. Very pleased overall , Will definitely visit again

it was divine !! a real greek experience. go for the tzatziki 🥒🥒

Amazing restaurant with very delicious food. Definitely recommend it and going to be back soon. Thank you

Lovely quaint restaurant, very friendly staff, food was amazing service was quick would definitely return

I had fun eating it with my friends. The interior of the store is white and bright.

Best wrap. Best Ambience. Top notch service. Best house lager.

Lovely meal with friends. A warm welcome from the staff who were friendly and efficient. Excellent menu. Food was fantastic and great value for money! We just wish we could have tried everything on the menu, it all looked so amazing!

Best greek restaurant in Edinburgh !!!!

Amazing experience, the servers were very nice, the food was amazing and came very quickly and the decor is beautiful for photos! A must try if you are in Edinburgh!

Was visiting with a group of friends and we got to try a large variety of dishes that were recommend to us by the waiter, everything was super fresh and very tasty, the waiters also were very kind and friendly. Next to the theatre as well, which makes it a great choice for a pre-theatre dinner, we will be back.

Honestly disappointing. Dinner for two. Gyros, vine leaves, amongst some other stuff. Vine leaves tasted like they were straight out of a can. I eat vine leaves all the time; these were poor quality, tasteless. Presentation was ok but did not make up for the lack of taste. Gyros was ok but over-seasoned and greasy. Think takeaway style, not restaurant. Service was good. Staff were polite. However what really, really ruined it all was the way the final bill was handled. Service charge was added to the bill without my knowledge: I was not shown the receipt, and the staff member just put the card machine in front of me, ready to tap, with the value already entered in. Bill had not been handed to me at this point. It was only when I asked to see the bill (rather than just tap the machine) that it became apparent a 10% charge had been added to the bill without my knowledge or permission. This is completely dishonest and underhanded. I would have been happy to tip for the service but in this case I asked the service charge to be removed as, as a matter of principle, this should be for the customer to decide, not the restaurant. If you want to put 10% automatically onto everyone’s bill then increase 👏 your 👏 prices 👏 - and in the meantime, stop trying to hide the fact that you’ve added the charge onto the bill. Be up front. Be honest. Explicitly ask the customer if they wish to tip for service. Stop taking that decision away from customers. On this basis I will not be returning to the restaurant. Very disappointed. tl;dr: Please stop with this ridiculous nonsense of automatically adding service charges, at least for a party of two. Ask your customers whether they want to add a tip. Want to pay your staff better? Put it in the cost of your items.

My daughter and I had a lovely evening here. The staff were really friendly and the service was great, we were early for our booking but they were very accommodating and found us a table . The food was delicious and very reasonably priced . What a lovely welcoming relaxed atmosphere, too! I would definitely recommend visiting.

Perfect plates we enjoyed them and great service they were funny and made you feel home I love this kind of restaurants Definitely we'll go back soon Thank you 🙏🏼

Excellent service! Food was authentic and delicious! Decoration inside mimicked a little terrace in Santorini which was like a little escape from Edinburgh. Would highly highly recommend! Good value.

Updated since they moved location. They place has moved from its original location on Leith Walk, the food and menu is very different. The wine menu has ridiculous prices now for half decent wine, food is fine but way overpriced. Atmosphere is weird. All the reviews that are five stars are from the previous restaurant mainly and not for the new location so be aware! Old review: Tasty food with massive portions, would recommend the pork gyros! Good for takeaway or sitting in (no reservations). Lovely staff too! No alcohol served and not BYOB.

Food is very delicious and big portions ,staff is professional and friendly and the atmosphere is traditionaly Greek,honestly I recommend 😊

Sehr lecker. Schön und sauber eingerichtet. Authentische Kellner und Küche. Raum für sowohl große als auch kleine Gruppen.

Delicious food. Extra 10 % tips on top everything.

We were delighted! The food was excellent: it was like being in Greece but in Edinburgh. A tzatziki to die for, a gyros with authentic flavors! The staff were exceptionally kind! We had just arrived after a long journey and the availability and understanding were clearly there! The values of Greek crossings, good food, friendliness and welcoming values! Thank you so much! 🥙🇬🇷😘

Such an amazing experience! I had a great time everyone was super friendly and welcoming, the food was simply divine!! I’ve never tasted such good food my taste buds were very pleased. 100% recommend if you’re searching to be stunned!

I highly recommend it, the decor is magnificent, the staff and above all the food is super good.

Un restaurante encantador con un personal increíble, la comida y las bebidas eran perfectas y deliciosas. El menú tiene mucha variedad y todo lo que pedimos era spot on

Nothing to complain about. Friendly staff serving great food and drinks

Simply perfect, I loved it. Food was Amazing atmosphere and service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…

Great authentic Greek restaurant! Literally any dish we’ve tried was delicious and we’ve had a lot of different ones. Staff is always very friendly and happy to recommend what to take. One of the best restaurants in Edinburgh.

Authentic Greek food with great ambience. The freshness of the meat and bread transports you to Greece. We tried the chicken Gyros portion and the moussaka, both were excellent.

Bienvenido de inmediato. ¡El barman Michael fue increíble! El personal de espera era tan encantador y la comida era de primera categoría. Buenas porciones y personal muy atento. Muy recomendable para una buena noche griega! X

Fui aquí un sábado por la noche antes del cine, y no fue una muy buena experiencia. Extremadamente ruidoso y los camareros nos apuran y realmente no nos importa si éramos felices o no. La comida no era horrible. Pero tampoco increíble. Las albóndigas estaban secas y las hojas de vid insípidas Especialmente por los precios, y casi £ 12 por una copa de vino! No estoy seguro de que volvamos.

Delicious food and amazing cocktails. Definitely recommend this place.

Authentic Greek food and cocktail bar open all day. Relaxed atmosphere, excellent service, great for families with children. The location is great, just off St James Quarter, no more than a two-minute walk from Picardy Place tram stop. We will certainly go back soon!

Fantastic restaurant with delicious authentic greek cuisine. Staff are very attentive from the moment you walk through the door and beautiful interior offers a cosy atmosphere for any occasion. Wide range of dishes and cocktails at very reasonable prices. Simple super tasty greek food, well done we will be back🍹

We went to have dinner today. The waitress told us the only dish in the menu unavailable was the lamb. I wanted a simple wrap skewer, which was on the menu... But the waitress said they couldn't do a wrap, instead I could get a skewer as a main, and sides of pitas and fries. Their reasoning was that they didn't have many skewers left, and they were not serving it as a wrap only as a main. This didn't make any sense! The taste was ok, but nothing impressive. This is unfortunate because we used to love this place, we might not return for a while.

Lovely little restaurant with a good Greek buzz mostly due to the great attentive staff. Definitely one to come back too !!!

Amazing food great service!!Highly recommended one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a fantastic experience at this Greek restaurant! I was seated within 10 minutes, and the staff were incredibly friendly right from the start. The food was absolutely delicious! The Greek salad was a pleasant surprise—it might seem casual, but it was marinated perfectly, and the feta was top-notch. The halloumi fries were a highlight, crispy and flavorful. I also tried the chicken sandwich in the pic -can’t remember the name, which was outstanding, especially with the yogurt sauce that added a wonderful touch. What truly stood out was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. They made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Greek cuisine!

Everything was amazing, food is nice and staff is friendly

By far the best Greek restaurant in Edinburgh, the staff was very friendly and the food tasted great, I will definitely be back!

Best Greek food in town , such a nice experience. The waiter Spiros was amazing

A truly authentic greek cuisine experience in the heart of Edinburgh. Food was amazing with plenty of options to choose from. The hidden gem are their cocktails, top quality & definitely far better that you'd normally expect from a restaurant, ask for their secret drinks menu - you won't be disappointed. Staff are friendly & attentive, atmosphere is super chilled, truly a 6 star experience!

Been here few time and honestly never disappointed the place inside its really cute and cozy the food is amazing and the portions are huge! staff is very friendly and the cocktails are very delicious 😊 well be back soon

Very good food and good service

Great food and really good environment

Amazing and authentic atmosphere. Delicious food ! For sure I'll come back 😁

Amazing food and friendly service!!!!

Food was delicious ! Proper authentic Greek food ! All the staff were very nice and looked after us ☺️

It’s impossible to visit Edinburgh and not stop at Simply Greek for an amazing greek dining experience! Not only is the food to die for, but the friendly atmosphere makes for an unforgettable time. Do not miss this hidden gem in Edinburgh and you will feel as if you traveled to Greece! 😍

The food was so good the staff were sweet nice and helpfull

Very expensive for absolutely no reason.

Great new addition to the area, located very close to the playhouse. The food is fresh and delicious, and the portions are very good.

Amazing food & cocktails, great service and beautiful environment! I’ll definitely be coming back

Really enjoyed the food, especially the chicken thighs, pitta and tzatziki. Very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Delicious, fresh food with amazing service and a beautiful interior! Was recommended to me by a Greek friend who said the food is tasty and authentic and I couldn’t agree more!

I absolutely love this place. My husband and I come here from time by time and the food is really authentic. Today we came here after the renovation and I think they have a lovely place now, it is bigger, with the same blue and white of the greek islands, nicely made. I am happy for them because they deserve it. They are a family running restaurant and you can see they work very hard, always with a smail, quick to help and the food is so good I would eat it until I feel sick. Also, the service was very attentive, and I loved they were coming back with the water as soon as we finishes our carafe and I know it seems nothing, but this rarely happens. The price is very good for the quality you get. So... I recommend this place.

Lovely food but they had run out of chicken! We had pork gyros which were nice but would have preferred chicken. I would have had a glass of wine but it was really expensive so I didn't bother.

Perfect for a pre theatre dinner. I reserved a table online which was very easy. The food is delicious. (I had the Chicken Gyro Wrap) The service was excellent, The staff are very friendly & attentive. I have some dietary restrictions which I noted on my reservation. The waiter went through the menu with recommendations and also pointed out what I should avoid due to my alargies. Lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

The 4,9 stars are really well deserved ! The staff is very welcoming and friendly, the food is good and the atmosphere is nice too 😊 And I’m always happy with halloumi :3

Nice reopening, the new place is lovely, with a lot of vibes. Staff were very friendly and gave us an excellent service. Food as amazing as always 👌🏼 generous portions and incredibly tasty.

So glad the restaurant is now renewed and in great shape! Food is still fantastic with great service. You can see pride that this family run business has and it is great! Definitely a must when visiting Edinburgh.

We knew the opening of the new place because of Spiros, one of the senior staff. The place has great vibes and great service. You would find here quality, quantity and emotionally amazing food and drinks. I will let the picture speak for themselves. I could honestly say that it might be one of the greatest Greek restaurants around Edinburgh. I was well attended and cared for especially for my demanding breeds of keto diet. You are a grill lover and good spirits? This is the place. Well done guys. Keep going 💪🏼

We really liked the food. We were advised at all times by the Greek waitress (sorry, I don't remember her name) who spoke practically perfect Spanish and was very friendly, great public relations for the place. It's not cheap but it's worth it. Furthermore, the kitchen does not close so you can eat at any time.

Best greek restaurant in Scotland, by far. Great food and drinks.

We celebrated my mother's 75th birthday and the restaurant even gave us a glass of champagne as a gift. The servers are very kind, the amount of food is huge, the atmosphere is like being in Greece again, I love it.

Excellent food! Friendly staff!

Too cold for comfortable dining. Food very good. Place looks gorgeus tho

Loving the food, but why is it not on any of the food delivery services? That’s a big flaw!

Really great food and friendly service, had the mixed grill and would recommend it, 5 stars *****!

A great place to enjoy a great meal. Friendly staff , quick service Tasty food .

Exceptional experience. Friendly and friendly staff, delicious food and beautiful location. A wonderful experience. A very kind and funny staff, the food was delicious and the location nice as well.

The food is the only redeeming quality of this place. but don’t expect to get it quickly. took 45 minutes to get an order of lamb chops and salad. was completely ignored by staff. needless to say i will not be returning here

We visited this restaurant based on the high reviews, but left completely disappointed. The service was slow and our waiter was inattentive and actually laughed when we told him the service was bad. Also, be aware that they add a "service" charge to your bill so don't pay it if they don't deserve it!

Great team, considering the location has just opened. Food was 1a, super tasty and fresh, cocktails were also super tasty.

As this is newly opened and just across the road, I popped in for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by it being quite busy, but I was quickly seated. A waiter quickly attended. As it was lunch I avoided Moussaka, Retzina and Ouzo, opting for a Chicken Wrap and a fizzy cherry drink, Loux. Quickly served. Very pleased with my selection. So I left, helped out by one of the waiters, as I am disabled and there's a tricky step just outside.

We love Simply Greek it's the Best and very Authentic ❤️Great staff,wonderful food and we love the new shop.We highly recommend to everyone❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Simplemente griego es exactamente lo que dice, comida griega simple pero excelente. Los platos habituales como pinchos de pollo, ensalada griega, pan plano, ensalada de remolacha y nuez, tzatziki eran impecables y divinos. Carta de vinos decente. Personal muy amable, eficiente y dedicado. Terminado con un vodka infundido de limón de cortesía. Una gran adición a la escena gastronómica de Edimburgo.

Came in for a quick drink after work but couldn’t resist ordering a couple of the bar snacks, I ended up staying for a couple more drinks. Food was delicious, drinks were amazing, and the restaurant was beautiful. Will definitely be back for more

Good food, friendly staff, especially the lady. Thanks neighbor.
