Spitiko in Reading

Food was fantastic 😊 241 on mains on a Tuesday brilliant deal.

The food is amazing and service was super friendly! Highly recommend the veggie Moussaka. Definitely will be back!

Spitiko is a jewel of a restaurant in Caversham. The extensive menu is proper Greek food (unlike another Greek restaurant in the middle of Reading, which has an eatery menu). Everything on the menu is excellently prepared and cooked, very tasty, and delightfully presented on their plates. This is a Chef Class restaurant at normal restaurant prices. Care has been taken to ensure that even the ordinary, like chips, look wonderful and are indeed very tasty. Please note, the gallery pictures are old and of the previous ownership, nothing like what is provided today. The restaurant has a nice happy warm atmosphere to it. Ketty (the host) is always ready to help in any way and has a great sense of humour too. If you need any advice or would like to discuss a menu arrangement beforehand, phone/Email, and kitty will gladly oblige, to ensure your evening is a happy one. This is a restaurant worth travelling to, and actually, with the inexpensive Chester Street Car Park right next door. Greek food is able to be enjoyed by most people. Go there and have a feast. I did, and was totally surprised by a restaurant that exceeded all expectations in every way.

Food was Unrealy would highly recommend this place!

We had really good food again tonight. Meat platter is really good and my son really likes the chicken wrap.

Very nice, staff is amazing and food is very good, the place is not too big.

Great service and food better than Santorini x

We all had a lovely meal put, enjoyed the food, including the kids aged 9&11, very tasty and plenty of it. Definitely back again.

Found this place by chance, what a great find, pleasant quick service, food was spot on. I highly recommend this place.

Very nice food and quick service

Nos encanta el mezze de carne y los postres que Ketty y su equipo crean. Siempre es una cálida bienvenida allí, y recomendamos Spitiko a todos los que conocemos.

Family visit and we enjoyed the food and service. I'd say a rustic style with simplicity. Hit the mark for us and very popular place. Would definitely go back. Well done.

I've tried twice, and not ever left thinking that was nice. Would not recommend. Usually empty. Service is there but not warm. There are better places to go for Greek food.

Cracking place to have Greek food. We had the meat meze that was spot on.

Very good!! Good portions! Very good work. Very tasty food! The only bad is no parking

Had a team dinner here, amazing food and amazing hospitality by the staff, we were allowed to stay late after everyone else had left and they even brought out a speaker to play music and dance. Lovely experience would highly recommend if in the area!

Vaya allí con hambre ya que las porciones son muy generosas. Preciosos platos grecochipriotas. El servicio era bueno, un entorno agradable, iría de nuevo

Was sure about the pickled onions in the stifado sure it should've been shallots and the rice looked like a packet of uncle Bens vegetable rice as opposed to pilaf. But still all edible just not what was expected

Loved our meal and the atmosphere with Greek music. Had grilled octopus and fried calamari as main dishes (delicious). Same about or starter. Went on a Tuesday evening when they have an offer for the main course (2 for 1). We would love to return on a different occasion.

An exceptional dining experience! Great service and food was amazing, fresh and would highly recommend! 5 star!

I've visited Spitiko numerous times and always find the food very good - the grilled king prawns or Kleftiko are my particular favourites. The service is good too! Thanks Ketty and team.

Hemos cenado un Spitiko en varias ocasiones, la última vez anoche para celebrar el cumpleaños de mis hijas (en realidad, tanto ella como mi hijo que tienen cumpleaños con 3 días de diferencia). Siempre nos ha encantado el ambiente, la comida y el personal increíble y su gran cuidado, atención y toque personal. Como la gente ya ha dicho en las críticas - una verdadera joya. Anoche se hizo especial con una pancarta de cumpleaños que fue una gran sorpresa, y cantando feliz cumpleaños. Gracias de nuevo

Halloumi salad was OK but the dish was advertised on a bed of mixed salad and olives, however there were no olives. Disappointed with the presentation. Overall very disappointing. The Lamb dish was tasty, but space re Roast potatoes and would definitely improve if served on a bed of salad. unfortunately we will probably not order from here again

Parts of the meal were first class, but the meats were dry and bland

We made a last minute decision to go out to eat and we were very pleased with our choice of this friendly restaurant. They were very welcoming and the food was delicious. Wonderful flavours and plenty of choice. Excellent

We ordered traditional meat meze. Most of hot & cold mezes were nice, and so were grilled chicken cubes and both types of “meatballs”, but who knew pork gammon and Polish kabanos sausages were Greek/Mediterranean! In summary, it’s OK food, but disappointing if you craved for Greek.

This place is an oasis of Greece tucked away in a corner of Caversham, the atmosphere was almost like every one eating had been transported to a Greek beach restaurant somewhere. We shared the delicious mixed mezzi hot starter which with the lovely hot pitta bread was excellent, and for main we both had the E chicken breast stuffed with feta and spinach in a creamy mushroom sauce, and both thought this was one of the best dishes we had had for some while, all washed down with some nice cold Greek lagers, the whole dinner was less than £65 with 4 beers so good value, our waitress Eddie was excellent. No deserts as we were to full, and we left with 2 complimentary limoncello as a parting gift from Eddie, will certainly revisit. Certainly recommend to anyone who wants the taste o& Greece here in Caversham.

My favorite Fish Meze, which it was very tasty. I would also recommend Calamari, to be honest it was nice and crispy. The best service ever.

Very friendly staff!! The food was very delicious and i will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!! :)

Great food very tasty and loads of it the staff were all very friendly and great fun will be back very soon

Incredible restaurant. Food & service spot on & great value too.

I'm sorry....Expected a lot more based on reviews but very disappointed. Cold meze was ok but the charcoal grills were bone dry and hard. Very small portions of salad and chips served with the meals also meant it was definitely not value for money.

Delicious food and lovely people who work there! Highly recommend!!

We visited with a group of 15 although the restaurant was very busy the staff coped admirably with all our requests the food was very good and excellent value for money

Mixed opinions review ordered for collecting I always wanter to try food from this restaurant, but I kind of regret it, my husband had the moussaka and lamb koftas and said it was nice, although he didn't get the tzatziki that was supposed to come with it. My kalamari and fried potato was rather underwhelming- kalamari was not fried enough, so was very tough and pretty much raw, so not really nice, and fried potatoes were soggy chips - I'm afraid not worth £14.95, the filo pastry parcels were nice and luckily, my husband shared his side salad, so my meal wasn't so plain, but I binned most of it, it just didn't fulfill my expectation. Unfortunately won't be using again :(

Always great food, lovely staff and awesome.place to visit!

Very happy to be in this such a nice tavern. The service is brilliant, just ask for Edi. The food is outstanding and very tasty yummy 😋👌. Atmosphere is one very happy place. Highly recommend and always come back 😇🙏🍷🇬🇷🥗

We had a great date night meal. Food was fabulous, service excellent and a really cute venue. If you like Greek food I would thoroughly recommend it.

Very nice place to check Greek food. Nice staff with good knowledge and attitiude to customers, delicious food, fantastic tzatziki with pita, lovely mix grill with fresh crispy fries, cold beer, parking behind the restaurant (u have to pay) fresh ingriedients every time, nice atmosphere around and choices of wine. Very nice!

Seating a little cramped. Understand they might be expanding. Hope it is true.

Great experience, we loved the feta with honey and lots of other Greek and Cypriot dishes, also the keo beer was amazing.

Very taste food.Fast service.Owner and polite staff.Warm environment.

Very good food and excellent service great value for money if you don’t get enough to eat here then your a whale. Nothing is to much trouble fantastic local find.

Went with 4 friends last tuesday, everything was amazing, the food was superb, the service couldn't have been better, we will all be returning as a great local find.

Very friendly and welcoming. The stuffed aubergine starter was so tasty and the meat platter for 2 could easily have been for 3 or 4 people! He overheard we were there celebrating a birthday and surprised us with a dessert with candle. Such a nice touch. Highly recommended.

Food was pretty good! Automatic 12.5% service charge isn't nice. The food already isn't super cheap and the extra 12.5% makes it not worth it. Staff was nice and i would have considered giving our server a personal tip if it wasn't for the charge.

The food was really tasty! Vegetarian moussaka and orka was delicious. Small portion of vine leaves but for the price everything was good

Really good lunch here for a reasonable price. Food was really tasty and service was very good.

This is by far one of the best meals I’ve had from just eat in a long time complements to the chef 👍🏻

Great and excellent atmosphere and great service 😊

Once again great food from Spitiko and the delivery was really good after a long drive

Visited here for a birthday meal with 10 of us in attendance. The food was incredible, so much flavour in every single dish and a great variety of options. Our waitress was the perfect amount of attentive and made sure we were well looked after including accommodating for a vegetarian and vegan in our party. The restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere and was nicely decorated with clean toilets. I won’t hesitate to recommend this to others and will most definitely be visiting again.

We went on a Wednesday and it was a little empty but that doesn't bother us. Food was great and at the end found out its 241 on Wednesdays which was a nice surprise. Left a nice large tip and will return.

It was a cold Friday night, and Quattro was full at 7:30pm. Spitiko was totally empty, apart from friends/family of the management. It didn't bode well, but thought we would try it out. Wine by the glass......er, no just don't. It was not good. Food: again, not good. Overly salty Moussaka which was clearly not fresh, and the greek salad just limp. The hommos tasted shop bought....needless to say it was friendly, but you don't go to a restaurant to just chat to staff. No returns from me.

Visited this place on our trip to Reading on a Saturday evening. It’s a cozy place with great scenic view pictures of Greece on the background. Service is good and the food is simply Extraordinary. I am a big fan of Mediterranean food, used to have it a lot back in The States. The flavours and the taste were exquisite. There is a little public parking place right round the corner for someone like us who visited on a car. Overall great experience for my family and I really loved their food. Highly recommend it!

Best place to visit in Caversham ❤️

Had a lovely dinner at Spitko, my first time visiting. The food is high quality, and there were good drink options too. A nice dinner with friends or a partner. The service was great and they surprised us with a birthday set of desserts!

So close to being the best Greek restaurant I have ever been in that isn't in Greece - somehow a street in Reading loses out to places in the Greek countryside with their fresh local produce and views but it's still very good and, judging by the number of regulars in, it is highly regarded. Really good starters including Lamb Kofta (very tasty), Hummus ( excellent - quite an accolade from a lady who lived in London surrounded by some of the best), my own Stuffed Aubergine (very tasty but a bit lacking in flavour) and my partner's Garlic Prawns (ok, slightly overcooked, a bit short of sauce and £3 per prawn is a bit steep). The mains of Lamb Cutlets (delicious), Kalamari (tasty but not exceptional), my lady's Chicken Souvlaki (to die for, could have just eaten the rice it was that hood - I tasted both, she wasn't wrong. I had the Mixed Grill and it's the nicest meat I have tasted in this country, perfectly cooked with startling flavour. Service was excellent despite beibg very busy early on a Saturday evening. My lady's son and partner have just moved to Reading and so we most certainly will visit again., just know what doesn't work for us. Highly recommended Revisited in October 2023 after the birth of my lady's first grand daughter so two of us ate in and two had a takeaway I should start by saying that we were waited on by a gentleman who said he normally worked in the kitchen but someone was help up en route - he was brilliant My lady opted for the Tirokaftera or spicy feta dip which was pretty amazing. whilst I went for the equaly impressive Pastourma which is a beef Greek version of chorizo and very tasty. On the mains front my lady went for Chicken Souvlaki and I for the lamb version of the same. Both were really good and I would love to know what they put in thr rice to make it taste so good. The takeaways were both lamb souvlaki and they were very very well received

Very well cooked Greek food. Friendly and courteous service. Pleasant atmosphere and not noisy, so good to meet up with friends.

Amazing food and great delivery service! Thank you!

Food really tasty. Portion sizes small. 2 for 1 on a Tuesday is genius

Great service and good atmosphere. Sorry But the food was a let down. Mix grilled was tasteless. Okra overcooked. Only dish we enjoyed was moussaka

Really impressed with this lovely little restaurant. Lovely staff, food was amazing and super authentic (definitely get the honey feta starter!), and we were welcomed and well looked after. It felt like having a lovely little holiday :)

Lovely food. Cosy and friendly atmosphere.

The lady who served us was lovely! Food was ok.

Very friendly service with authentic Greek food. Nicely presented. This was a return visit for us and we’ll certainly be back very soon!

Went last Saturday July 29th. Superb food very tasty and well cooked and great service. Give this place a go you won't be disappointed

Very authentic food ! Great service with a smile. Felt at ease

no frills restraunt, clean, nice staff and great food.

Good food good prices. Live music added to experience

Great Greek food, better service!

Nice place to go, staff are super friendly. Had the platters but they didn't tell us how many we would get so filled up on bread.

Our first time at this restaurant and it wont be our last! We had the meat mezze and the many dishes were all delicious. Excellent value for money.

Really friendly staff. Immaculately clean. Nice ambience. Tasty food.

We've used the takeaway service before but this time went to the restaurant for dinner. The food was really good and authentically Cypriot; we particularly enjoyed the meze and the calamari was perfectly cooked. This restaurant has nice relaxed atmosphere and great service so we had an enjoyable meal. Will be back.

Amazing Greek restaurant! The food was sumptuous and the server was very courteous and accommodating. We will return, for sure.

We had a lovely family dinner to celebrate a birthday here. 4 adults and a teenager. Delicious food, I would highly recommend the Kleftiko. I have a dairy allergy and there was no problem adapting the dishes I ordered. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean and...

Really, really great food. The vegtable moussaka was amazing, everything else our group ordered was top quality as well. Portion sizes are great, staff friendly and attentive but not overly so - customer service was spot on.

We had a great family lunch here. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Visited this Fabulous gem in Reading on a Friday evening. What a great find! Authentic Greek food with ingredients sourced from Greece. From simple appetisers to main course, very well cooked and presented, both veg and meat dishes. The owner Eddy, a charming professional explained the dishes and made us feel at home. The cherry on top was the delicious dessert Bugatsa Thessaloniki so perfectly made. We understood there is also live music every Saturday so we shall keep visiting this fantastic place. Keep it up Eddy and Katy.

Excellent service and great food. A second visit for my wife and I that fully lived up to our expectations; thank you Ketty.

It is an attractive offer to have buy one get one free on Tuesdays. Staff are friendly, food is fantastic. It was a very enjoyable experience to dine in the restaurant.

Superb! Service was fantastic, food was absolutely delicious, atmosphere traditional yet modern and spotlessly clean. Will definitely be a regular here.

Absolutely loved our visit. Food was wonderful, atmosphere was excellent, and the staff couldn't be more welcoming. So pleased to have found this gem!

The food always fresh and delicious. The staf always so friends and always smiling. I always order the fish with side of potato chips and Greek salad. When they changed ownership they changed the potatoes chips from freshly cut chunky to normal chips. One thing...

Amazing Greek food! It’s now become my favourite takeaway. Always consistently good & lovely staff too.

Good food and good value 2 for 1 night.

Delicious food, great service, small, friendly authentic restaurant. The music was great too. Left the place dancing!

What an outstanding find! On a busy road across the river from Reading, we found this lovely Greek gem! Authentic atmosphere, sensible pricing, and of course incredible food! Go for the tasting Meze sharing menus for best range of dishes. A very special thanks to Katie who went above and beyond to make our anniversary dinner so special!

I've been to this restaurant 3 times over the past few years and can't say I've ever had a meal to write home about. The last time we didn't want anything too big, so just had some meze starters. They lacked freshness and flavour. The okra was so overcooked I couldn't eat it and the mixed vegetables were way too oily. The best thing about it was the pitta and I can't say they could take credit for that. We are vegetarian so our options are limited, and maybe the meat and fish dishes are great, but can't comment. The manager seemed more interested on what was on his phone than the customers in the restaurant, leaving the young lady to do all the serving. I felt like we really wasted money that night.

Absolutely fantastic evening. The food, music, atmosphere and service was wonderful!! Thank you for making a birthday special.

Great night, excellent food. I'd come here when it was formerly owned and had been disappointed with the quality of food, so was highly hesitant to return, not realising it had changed hands entirely. The food tonight was lovely. I had the salmon which was...

Outstanding food,generous portions, genuine greek food.

Wonderful. Good home cooked food,absolutely lovely

I’ve been to Spitiko twice now and both times I have enjoyed myself thoroughly!! Amazing food, amazing staff and just generally fantastic vibes! I will absolutely be going back!

Unfortunately both my daughter and myself Had mouska tasted good but was not very hot and the klefico was not klefico Meat balls well not traditional GREEK SORRY WILL NOT BE BACK

A little disappointed with portion size And seasoning. Food would have been nicer if warmer.

Outstanding food and service. I will back soon Edy.

Great food, friendly staff. Baklava is the best ever!

I am very unhappy with my order half my order was missing.
