The Greek in East Riding of Yorkshire

This was a bit hit and miss. I arrived a little early so sat outside while waiting for my dining companion. A young lady came out to check I was OK and I was soon set up with a nice glass of red. Great service. Once my guest arrived we went in and found a table. We selected a few more dishes than we probably needed but isn't that always the way. The dishes arrived as they were ready. In general all of the dishes were good. However I found a small piece of bone in one of the meatballs which immediately stuck between my teeth. Toothpick needed. Plus the calamari could have been hotter and a bit crisper. At the end of the meal my guest ordered a coffee with cream. They didn't have any cream. I suggested they went over the road to the shop and bought some but apparently not allowed to happen. And then what really spoiled it for me. I ordered a Metaxa 7* brandy. A really good brandy. And it came in a whisky glass. We don't have any brandy glasses I was told. I know it's pedantic but sometimes things just have to be right. I've given this place 4 stars. 3.5 stars would be more realistic.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous.. what a treat this place is. The mixed grill platter is my favourite- great value for money and delicious. Highly recommended

Fantastic Greek food in a lovely setting. We shared the mixed grill for two, we were really looking forward to it, and it didn't disappoint. The platter it arrived on just about covered the whole table. The food was fantastic, and somehow to our surprise we managed to eat the lot, and even the waiter was impressed, and we also had room to share a baklava.

Came here for a birthday party, fantastic atmosphere, staff and the food was brilliant.

Called on Monday 29th January at 5.00pm on our way to Hull New Theatre we ordered the Chicken Gyros with 1 x greek salad a white wine spritzer and soft drink , the food was excellent and service was brilliant so tasty lovely atmosphere total £32 would definitely recommend

Great food and great bar staff. Food was quick despite it being busy. A nice restaurant to introduce myself to Hessle.

The Greek is a really good Greek restaurant. They serve mostly traditional Greek food, including kebabs and Greek cheese salads, etc. I highly recommend the mixed grill platter for two. Such a variety of meats and a lot of it. It's a nice cosy, little restauran, the service was excellent and the staff are friendly. The Greek music got on my nerves after a while, but that is the only complaint. There is an outside seating area at the front.

Birthday treat for Mrs Trever and husband mixed grill for two a belly buster too much had too ask for Doggy 🎒

Great food great service will definitely go back

Shared platter with x2 diet cokes £51 couldn't fault anything was beautiful definitely recommend.

Good quality food at a reasonable price. A few items were out of stock. Otherwise, the food would have made a 5.

Nice place, good service, a small selection of Greek cuisine but ideal for a change.

Good selection of Greek inspired food and the cocktails were lovely too. Service was quick and staff are friendly. Decor is very cute too

Very nice traditional Greek food, quick service. Good value also. Very good measures in place for Covid 19 too. Will definitely go again

Felt like a little Greek oasis, went just on the of chance. Waitress was polite helpful and even chased after us to return my wife's scarf. The food was awesome, really enjoyed it and was very tasty. Not local but will make a point of visiting again if in the area. Great staff, great food, great price if you like your Greek food you'll love it, give it a go, well worth it, thanks

Far surpassed my expectations. What a gem of a restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We shared different mezze dishes, all of which were excellent. Great atmosphere, decor, music etc etc. Very good value too. Definitely recommend.

Excellent food, and good service too

Amazing food, friendly atmosphere. Greece in an English town

Beautiful quality food, great service. Wonderful setting and atmosphere, a group of 5 people, all thoroughly enjoyed the "Greek" experience. Shall be back for more.

Absolutely loved our meal here for our granddaughters birthday. I've never had Gyros before but chose the mixed meat one. It was delicious. The sweet I chose was fantastic it was filo pasty with apple and cinnamon, I can't remember the Greek name. It would have fed 2 people though. All staff were courteous and attentive, we definitely will be back.

Can't fault anything about The Greek in Hessle. I had never tried Greek food before, but I can honestly say it is far The best, tastiest food I have ever eaten. The staff were fantastic, I will definitely be eating there again.

Normally we go to The Aegean in Hull which is excellent, but we’d heard great things about The Greek so thought we’d try it out for a change, on looking at the menu I thought it seemed very limited, especially as far as seafood goes but it does state they have a specials board, unfortunately when we arrived at 7.30 on a Friday evening we were told there are no specials, so how can you call yourselves a greek restaurant without any fish on the menu. So after pondering the menu we decided on the mixed grill, which admittedly was nice apart from the lamb chops which were overcooked and very chewy. Needless to say we won’t be going again.

Fantastic place , fantastic food, people, just everything, Greece is my favourite country anyway xxx ❤️

Fab place and fab food at a reasonable cost. Service A1.

Had the platter, food was all great and value for money

Always a great restaurant. Service is quick and the food is great. The prices are very reasonable. Always enjoy coming here.

8 of us met up for an early evening meal, we all agreed it was awesome in every way, we all enjoyed our food, there was plenty of it, staff were polite and friendly, as it was our first time, pointing out helpful tips so as not to over order, we will definitely be going again

A busy little place, excellent service and the food was nice, great to get a few small plates and share if there is 2 or more people, plenty of parking on the streets not far away.

Fantastic food, great staff who went the extra mile when I left my jacket on the back of the chair!

We had the mixed grill for 2 and certainly enough food for 3, so we were kindly offered packaging to bring away our leftovers! Looking forward to my lunch today! Lamb loin chops as good as any I have ever tasted, and I come from the west coast of Ireland where our lamb is famed for it's flavour. Finished off with two lovely Greek desserts, a few cold Greek beers and a complimentary shot of Ouzo. The front of house manager was so friendly and helpful that he surely added to a very pleasant experience. As our daughter lives in Hessle, we'll be back whenever we visit. Thanks for a great meal and a lovely warm welcome😉☘️

Food was great. Different to our Greek restaurant we go to in the states but this was the second time I'd been and will go again in December

We ordered the mixed grill to share and there was loads of food. The quality of all that we ate was superb. Very authentic delicious food.

Delicious food and lovely staff.

Service very bad,staff were glued to their phones propping up the bar waited ages to get served and the same when we wanted to pay the bill it's a shame as the food was delicious as was the atmosphere

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing

Service not that good waited 15 mins before they came for our order staff were stood at the bar looking at their fones very unprofessional such a shame as the food and restaurant were lovely

Amazing service! Fab food. Will be back soon 😊

We went with Friends. Food fabulous as ALWAYS..we had the mixed grill..the Lamb was to die for...😁💕

Great service excellent food also nice wine

A lovely place. Super, fresh food. Ordered cold and hot Meze. We weren't waiting long. Food came out in batches when ready. The dishes were tasty and portions were a good size. Staff were friendly and attentive. Took our 1 year old and he was happy nibbling on the Meze. Very happy - will definitely be back and will bring more people!

The meze looked incredible but I had the halloumi gyros wrap and it was a beauty. Take-away (collection only) is available.

We went rather early, popped in as we were passing for an early evening meal. 5.00pm. Not many people in but I believe it was fully booked.

Absolutely cannot fault anything about The Greek - Hessle. This is THE BEST location. The chefs are consistently fantastic, we generally always order the mixed grill platter and the pork steaks are always grilled to crispy perfection, you get so much food also, could easily share between 3. The staff are always lovely, very attentive but know when to let you enjoy your meal. Very welcoming place no matter what you're visiting for. We have turned up in very casual clothes on a spare of the moment visit on a Saturday night and still feel welcomed.

Not great we booked on line and they could not find the booking then was told you have to leave the table by 8pm I will not be coming back service not good !

What a great little place! It was recommended to us by various locals and it did not disappoint. The food was very good, the atmosphere excellent (there was plenty of outdoor seating too), and the staff were super friendly. I'd definitely pop in again if I find myself in this part of the world.

We was booked at a nearby restaurant for a hen party however unfortunately there was an issue in the kitchen which meant evacuation and fire engines turning up. The place we was booked into went across to the Greek to ask if we could all sit in there to keep warm. (A party of 12) they let us sit in downstairs then moved us upstairs. They where extremely accommodating considering we hadn’t booked. We wasn’t going to order food until another party separate to us did and it looked and smelled delicious. The waitress couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and even giving us a round of shots!! Deffs will return after the amazing service

Excellent food , and great service, highly recommend the stuffed pepper's and the moussaka...😋

As much as an authentic taste of Greece as you can find anywhere - including Greece! Very tasty food, authentically greek. Friendly service and very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Couldn't fault the food but just seemed we were rushed. I'd try it again though definitely.

Lovely food. All fresh and well presented. Staff are very welcoming. We had a mixed Gyros with a few Hot Meze dishes on the table to share.

Nice food. Lovely service and not highly priced. Will be eating there again.

We had a mix grill which was enough for 4 to be honest. The staff were lovely and the meat was cook perfectly. We went at 12.15pm as it just open but do recommending to book ahead as within a hour half the front was filled up.

We visit The Greek at every opportunity. They have THE best food! The staff are amazing and are always very friendly and welcoming too. The Lamb Kefte is to die for! Trust me, you will be addicted! The Greek, Hessle will forever be our favourite place

We were passing by Hessle and searched somewhere to eat. The staff were friendly, the food was yummy and it was a lovely eating experience.

The meze and the gyros were incredible. Halloumi to die for. Incredible.

Amazing!!! Food, customer service and interior, everything fantastic! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere although wine a little pricey.

Fantastic food and a slice of Greece in Hessle. Wonderful can't wait to go again

Really enjoyed this place! Food was absolutely delicious and the service was spot on. I gave 5 stars for atmospheric because although it was very quiet (Tuesday evening) it didn't feel uncomfortably quiet. Would highly recommend!

Our Sunday evening dinner was notable for its substantial servings and amiable serving staff. Our orders were both taken quickly and served quickly. The servings were more than we could eat , although the fare was average. Going again for a casual meal we would order less food.

After just an hour of finishing our food and ordering more drinks, my friend and I were asked to move to “the bar” as they had a table of 4 booked in (bearing in mind I booked my table in advance). “The bar” consisted of a chest of drawers front which was uncomfortable to sit at and when told we would be promised another table, this never happened. My friend and I were basically sat in the middle of the restaurant, in the way of the servers, and customers were barging into us due to lack of space, extremely disappointing considering I booked our table in advance!

Delicious, authentic Greek food at reasonable prices. The Greek has a variety of options for many palettes, and is a welcome bit of variety in the neighborhood.

Was needed, portions are massive

Excellent food - highly recommend the mezze. Really attentive service. Well done guys.

Ambience and service good but unfortunately went looking forward to authentic Greek moussaka that was not what I got. Minced beef with slithers of aubergine not acceptable and not a piece of pitta bread or side salad in sight....

Before you get too relaxed at the end of the evening....... check and double check the bill for the seriously expensive Service Charge. The food was ok, but overpriced as most restaurants are now. We very stupidly also left a cash tip. Won't be going again.

Tables a bit too close to each other but food was very good

Lovely little hidden gem, we had the sharing platter, absolutely fab and plenty of it, The staff were lovely and so helpful, defo be back again!!!

Just arrived home after having a fabulous meal, my wife and I shared the mixed grill which was delicious and plentiful, and the waitresses couldn't have been nicer or more helpfull. The atmosphere was relaxed and felt like a little corner of Greece. 5 stars.!!!

I just love this place.... perfect!!!

I love Greek food this was perfect. I bit pricey at the moment but once a month is fine

Went for a family birthday, kids loved the food as did the adults. Been a few times and never had a bad experience.

Came for my friends birthday, first of all contacted the restaurant to ask if I could bring balloons and they were so lovely and accommodating straight away. Arrived for our table at 6:45 but we were less than originally booked for, so we gave up the other half of the table and they were soooo appreciative of that. Tiggy and Hannah were absolutely lovely and amazing and no job was too small or too big for us! We ordered loads of bits and bobs and it came so quickly and was soooo nice! I honestly cannot rate this place high enough, the girls were amazing and really looked after us :), they defo deserve a pay rise ;) . Thank you so much girls for making my friends birthday so special (one of them even wrote happy birthday on the receipt!)! X

Visited this evening for my friends birthday and we were so pleased! Tiggy was amazing as usual! Also Hannah and Georgia (I think) were also fab! Amazing staff, amazing food! Couldn’t recommend enough! We will be back! Thanks guys we had a lovely evening 💜

My first review has strangely been removed? So this is a new one with less detail, as our visit was quite a while ago 🤷‍♂️🥺 The atmosphere here was wonderful, really relaxed and fantastic staff. The food was incredible, tasty and plentiful and we were absolutely stuffed to the gills 😹... You wouldn't think that hummus could be this tasty, but it's a humble food that can be truly amazing, when made properly; this was amazing 🤤 If you fancy some authentic Greek food, this is a must place to visit ♥️

Excellent, 10 of us visited on Sunday. Great waitress served us, so pleasant. Food was lovely, gets better every time we go!

We ate at The Greek as a couple.Lovely staff,great value food( we had 2 gyros ) well cooked and presented.The wine is reasonable and the atmosphere lively.Always a pleasure.

Visited for date night with my wife! We had an olive bread and falafel starter before our mixed grill main and a couple of soft drinks. Food was delicious! Really well cooked and really tasty! We left feeling well fed and quite full. Atmosphere was...

Fantastic food and great service. Absolute must visit if in Hessle. Fun greek themed cocktails.

Great food and friendly atmosphere. The staff were so friendly. We had a sharing meal with family. Lovely selection to choose from

Wow what an atmosphere and the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Staff were fantastic and very accommodating for dietary requirements.

Wonderful authentic place. Great food served perfectly by friendly smiling staff. Loved it will be returning again on Tuesday. Thank you

A great restaurant with excellent food, lovely staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

We went between Christmas and New Year and experienced lovely food and great service. There was a decent amount on the menu for my vegetarian granddaughter and my GF daughter. The service was unobtrusive but at your shoulder as and when required. For what we...

Lovely authentic Greek food, very family-friendly at lunch! Gyros pitta should not be missed

Lovely restaurant, food is to die for and the service was on par, the lovely blonde waitress who served us was very friendly. It was such a good night!

Really tasty food and great service. I got the mixed open gyros which were very tasty.

Called today had the mixed grill wow what a meal more than enough for 2 people food was superb

A lovely place to go for any occasion, it could be casual or fancy depending on what your party wants. The service was absolutely fantastic, very friendly staff and spoke and laughed with our table, a perfect environment. They knew what they were talking about and knew the dishes. The atmosphere is so well designed and a lovely greek theme.

The food was amazing as always & good value for money. the service was fast which I cannot complain about.However the staff on shift let the place down, not a smile insight and no manners used.

Fantastic service, staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was very authentic and delicious. Would highly recommend!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service.

Lovely evening (Sunday 11/12 table of 6) in a super location. Good great but main reason for such a lovely evening was the lady serving. From the moment we walked in she was helpful and accommodating, service with a smile and nothing was too much...

Lovely Sunday lunchtime meal with friends. Not too busy but enough people for atmosphere. Excellent service, friendly but not in your face, perfect timing- not too rushed without leaving us waiting around. Mixed grill for three plus some sides (calamari, spanakopita and another I can't remember) was plenty for six people. Highlight for me was the bougatsa for pudding. I don't usually have pudding but when it's bougatsa I make an exception. Good choice of drinks, including greek beer.

Had yet another amazing time at the Greek, lovely food

Really nice place - not glitzy but really authentic feel great food and usual greek welcome. Will deffinatly go again- parking was possible on the road opposite but maybe on busy day might need to be further away. Thanks for looking after me and overseas guests!

Cracking food, welcoming friendly staff, great atmosphere, and all at a very reasonable price, well worth a visit, highly recommended 👍

Pepsi was flat food was cremated to a crisp. And the decor had a very cold feel to it.

We went for a meal out with our two young children. The waitress was really attentive and suggested meals they’d like (not on the main menu) and we found lots of delicious options for ourselves including vegetarian dishes. Everything was really tasty and the atmosphere...
