The Real Greek in City of London, Westminster

No estoy seguro de cómo comenzar esta reseña sin sonar como si estuviera exagerando esta experiencia, pero esta cena en particular fue definitivamente para recordar. Notablemente el profesionalismo de la parte delantera de la casa es lo que realmente me impresionó, rápido, eficiente y amable - no amable por el bien del trabajo, sino más bien para proporcionar una experiencia única tanto para mí como para mis compañeros. Como de costumbre, la comida fue servida inmediatamente y caliente, bien descrito a mí en la mesa, desde allí no sentí nada más que pura felicidad - la calidad consistente del griego real nunca me falla! Genial gracias a mi servidor Rosa!

In previous months, my wife had the honor of becoming head bridesmaid to one of her closest friends and this was so exciting and we wanted to make sure she had the best set up prior to the special day. On review of many restaurants we found this one that was aridic and cute, perfect for someone like the Bride to be and matched her personality. We booked and at first there was a (Brown Hair) lady that was very nice and friendly that I had no issues with during this period which was a great start. Unfortunately when the day came, we had a very different experience, I attended ahead of the Bride to support setting up the table and all was fine at this point so I was excited to lay out such a beautiful table for there arrival following a show they had been too whihc is where the man is not meant to be so i departed and let them have there night. Later on meeting with my wife and some messages the service reported had become very unprofessional and aggressive. when detailing unprofessional there was a lack of communication with people waiting for drinks and to order which took some time, even if you was busy there should be a communication with good Customer skills but this was lacking any of this. The concern we then had was when the food was eventually ordered, they ordered the Chicken wraps it had been served cold so this was raised to the man behind the counter (No names taken) and we was met with aggression. He proceeded to grab the wrap, slammed it down on the kitchen worktop raising his voice and this became quite frightening to the Bridal group with no apologies provided. It is safe to say that we will not be eating at this restaurant again and would air on the side of caution on how you approach feedback if you are unhappy with the food here. It was a terrible experience and only wish it could of been a better experience for such a beautiful place.

Vine ocupado el sábado por la noche y el personal era muy amable y atento! La comida muy sabrosa. Bonito ambiente Greak y buena ubicación

Lovely little Greek restaurant , friendly helpful staff , tasty food . Would recommend and good price . Easy location close to Foggs gin parlour .

Lovely food - the aegean slaw and octopus and fava is 🤤 But the service was amazing, shout out to Martin for being one of the loveliest people. Arrived starving and in a bad mood, left thoroughly fortified on both fronts!

Kid friendly half term visit. Really approachable staff and made up feel very welcome. Excellent kids menu and great choices! My children chose healthy options because they were exotic to them!

Went here on a visit to London to see a play, had booked a table as we were using a Groupon voucher. When we got there it was fairly empty but within a short time filled up. The meal was delicious and plenty of it and lots of choices for us as vegetarians. We were served by a waiter called Martin who was really helpful and answered any questions we had. Would certainly go there again next time we are in London

I went for an anniversary dinner with my partner at the real Greek and it was an absolute amazing experience! Mousaka was delicious, the cold dips were so tasty they remind us our trip to Greece! Staff was fiendly and attentive! Definitely going back! Thank you for the experience!

Great service! The food was incredible and the waiters gave me great service. The experience and ambience of the restaurant was also great.

Il ristorante ha aperto alle 12 in punto, seppur la prenotazione era alle 12! Il servizio è stato molto veloce e il cibo molto buono. Per il bagno bisogna scendere un piano di scale. L’ambiente è comodo e accogliente nel complesso

Exceptional in every sense. Just walked in not expecting to be seated. But to our surprise there was a table free. Our server was fabulous, very friendly and we took his recommendation for food. We had a sharing platter for £50. Absolutely gorgeous food. Sooooooo tasty and well worth the money. Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone

lot of restaurants in the area rip off theatre goers, this was the opposite, great value, no rush and lovely food in a great space , great find !!!!

Very nice Greek meze and very attentive staff.

We had a great lunch before visiting the theatre. Excellent food and value for money

Maybe the best Greek restaurant I’ve ever been to. Food is delicious.

Although the food was nice, we felt very rushed. Literally still eating and they asked if we were finished yet!

Dan horas de reserva muy cerca del cierre, entonces cenas con prisa y sin atención.La comida normal y ya no nos dejaron pedir café. Un "encanto" vamos...

Food was delicious, but the portion are not really big.

Good food and very friendly staff. Booked in advance as the place tends to be rather full. 50% Discount was applied without any issue. Thanks

Nice enough food overall, but nothing was outstanding. We shared 5 dishes plus Greek salad before a theatre performance, so quite a busy time. The service was perfunctory but it got the job done. Booking was via The Fork offering a discount, although this was not immediately offered on the bill it was granted when mentioned.

Great for a quick bite before the theatre. Very busy but staff are very organised. Got 50% off which made it a great price.

It is just a good place to lunch as I often go there with friends but I am so disappointed that chicken wings are no longer on the menu. They are my favourite.

Nice food and convenient location

Unfortunately it took them along time to acknowledge us and sit us at the table. The tables are awkwardly laid out so we constantly felt in the way. Some to the dishes were lovely but others such as the falafel were mediocre

Very pleasant experience and great food :)

We were off to see Dr.Strangelove at the nearby Noel Coward Theatre, The Real Greek is just across the street. We were going to a matinee performance, so this was ideal for a spot of lunch. We had the souvlakis, one pork, one chicken - both very good. Tasty and light. The star of the show however was the Baklava for dessert. A sweet triumph ! Delicious. Good service, all in all, recommended.

Went to The Real Greek in St Martins Lane for dinner on October 12 2024 and had a fantastic meal. Started with the hummus and tzatziki which were great followed by the Greek salad, octopus and spinach pie. Everything was great and we were served by the lovely manager Magda who was outstanding. Perfect meal in a very nice restaurant. Definitely recommend

Delicious lunch with even better service! Olessia was so friendly and helpful

We chose this place because of convenient location and because We thought Greek food can’t easily be messed up ! The Dips are good but the lunch Deal share BBQ meat Platter for 2 was disappointing ! No Tasty Lamb,.. just some dried out Lamb Mince meatballs and some bbq Chicken Wings ! Also as a professional Wine and Restaurant Critic I found The automatic Service Tip Fee of 10% that they try to impose as a fait accompli objectionable ! So my 96 pound Bill or invoice suddenly transforms into 106 pounds on the Credit card Terminal and the waitress nonchalantly comments ,…Oh We charge a 10% fee “are you OK with that ?” I informed her that in fact,..no I don’t accept that,.it was a bit of a trick,..and she gave me a 10 pound Cash Refund! As a consumer advocate I stand up for principles in a world full of Gouging,…and so should You !

Amazing food and great service.

Had a lovely meal here before the theatre. Great vegan options, speedy food and such friendly and helpful staff, Magda in particular was lovely. Would definitely recommend for a pre dinner meal or for an any meal out.

Lovely food and amazing service. Really appreciate the servers having the Greek food knowledge 👌 will be back!!!

I had lunch today in the restaurant and the staff who was attending us was a lady called Nabela. She was really sweet and respectful person. Nabela was attending us quickly, serving our food fast and even welcoming us really sweet and asked ask for any additional help and caring a lot.

Food was amazing, atmosphere brilliant, staff fantastic. Recommend the taramasalata as well as the octopus. Definitely have the halva for pudding. Nabela was a lovely server, we will definitely be back.

A small restaurant, intimately decorated with friendly service with whom you can have a nice chat. I recommend halloumi fries, delicious bread with olive oil and a mixture of herbs. At the end, delicious Greek Flatbread. I hope to go back there again :)

Ideal post show meal venue. Quick rurn a round and efficient table service

Amazing food! And service from Nabela was excellent and speedy!

The food was really and the service really quickly. The waitress who attended me her name was Nabela. She was really kind explaining us the menu, suggesting us which food to order and really Patient. She attended us really quickly and welcoming us very nicely. Really nicr service From Nabela's part.

Pop in for a quick lunch while we were exploring this part of town. Away from main streets we got a feeling we are in the small taverna in Greece. Nice decor,lovely meze dishes we didn't expect it will be enough but we were wrong. Absolutely worth visit and the cherry on the cake was attentive staff.

We visited this place on Friday at lunchtime. We were tempted by the offer for £10, which is not common in central London. It was £10 well spent

Loved the food. Highly recommend!

I have been fancying a mousaka for so long so I decided to take myself down to the real Greek and wow it was amazing, so yummy, the food came out fast and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Great food, nice service, great atmosphere. I recommend!

A great place to eat something tasty, drink good wine and hang out with friends Nice atmosphere, great service.

I have been to their other locations and many other Greek places in London, but unfortunately this is one of the worst ones. The service was slow and all of the 5 starters we had were tasteless and too small. The waiters were trying to be helpful but the problem is in the kitchen. Very disappointing.

The waitress was very rude to me and even over heard her talking to her colleague about me as I simply said the chips took too long to come as I was almost finished with my meal and I had to go which i said politely but she snatched the chips of the table and huffed away, I was quite bewildered with what happened so I just paid and left The food was lovely though

Quaint little Greek restaurant with authentic food and great service. Nabela was a charming host with good advice. Made the lunch an enjoyable one. Good location, great good and awesome service. Not much more that one can ask for.

Excellent food and service by Nabela. Over all lovely environment. Had a wonderful time with everyone. Great food suggessions by Nabela as well.

Buzzing and lively place. Super quick service and very polite waiters. I enjoyed the feta and chilli dip very much. Highly recommend booking a table while visiting the theatre for a quick and delicious dinner.

Best food, best service. Nothing to add. Strongly recommend.

The food is really good and tasty but the service is a bit slow. I waited for 20 mins but on one was asking for ordering but in general the staff is friendly if you take action to approach them first.

Really nice service atmosphere thank you Magda

It was a pleasant dinner, both for the atmosphere and the treatment of the staff. We loved the food and the desserts are 10. Our waitress, Nabela, has been lovely and as an extra, she speaks Spanish if you have difficulties with English

Lovely post-theatre meal. Staff were super friendly and Jason in particular helped us to celebrate!

The mezze plate is amazing. I also thought it was really great that the table water was free.

The unique experience you are getting from this place, the way you are treated and the food is so, so good, the desert is amazing, can’t recommend enough!

Amazing service! The food is amazing and the staff are lovely! We were served by Ugnius and he was so helpful at helping us with the menu. Definitely would come again.

Great service , fast and great food. Would definitely recommend, staff were really helpfull on helping decide what to have . Warm and welcoming

Having chosen this place for our dinner, we were served lukewarm moussaka which would have tasted better if they were served hot. The skewers were a bit tough and other dishes were very average for the prices charged. The service was good however but on the whole we were very disappointed with the food. So we would not recommend The Real Greek restaurant chain unfortunately.

Wow had a week in London, we stumbled on this place. Booked for a pre theatre meal and it was outstanding. Super service from all the staff, special mention for Sofia who explained the menu and helped make it a memorable evening. The show was great as well.

Great food, lovely cocktails, thank you to Sophia and Nabela for your fabulous service xx

Best Greek restaurant in London

Such a lovely meal, lovely atmosphere and beautiful restaurant. Sofia was amazing and made us feel so welcome, plus the food was so similar to holidays in Greece 🥰!!

The service was really fast. The person who attended us it was a female called Nabela, she was really friendly and helping us our choices making sure we are comfortable with great service. Another staff called Sofia who was treating us really nice and giving us the food and attending us quickly.

I loved the food . The service was great specially Sofia’s and Nabela’s service , wonderful people that gave me the best experience of this Greek restaurant definitely coming back!

Lovely restaurant!! The food and service was amazing. Was served by Sofia and she recommended the meat platter and was wonderful. Would come again!!

Authentic Greek cuisine surved by the beautiful Sofia.

Visited this evening with my husband and we absolutely loved the service and the food. Sofia and Nabela served us and recommended lovely stuff from the menu. Definitely recommend!!! Will be back.

Very rich place! Casual Greek food in London, yes I would recommend it!! And very good service, thanks to Nabela for everything!!

We had a Groupon voucher and the whole experience was fabulous. The food was tasty and served on afternoon tea stands. The portions were perfect and each dish was explained to us. We actually went to the wrong restaurant but this was not an issue and as we were too full our desserts were put in containers so we could take them away. Superb.

Have eaten here twice before the theatre. This chain of restaurants doesn't disappoint.... But the toilets are downstairs!!

Great food, atmosphere and service. Thanks to our waitress Olesia for the excellent service!

very nice and fantastic food! great service from host olesia :)

The food was very rich, tasty and tasted very authentic Greek. We had the pitas/sandwiches and some starters like hummus and spicy cheese. Music at a pleasant level and, of course, in Greek style. Nabela took great care of us, she was very friendly, fast and also speaks Spanish, so she helped a lot to resolve some questions. We were left wanting to try more things. Advisable.

Ideal restaurant for family and to go with children, our table was served by Nabela, she was very kind and very patient since we were going with children and we had no idea about the food. She helped us a lot and recommended the octupas with fava, which were delicious, We will return to try more dishes .

Unfortunately some of the food was not fresh, pitas were hard and the gyros souvlaki was the most bland I've ever had! Chicken chunks in gyros!? Would look elsewhere for Greek cuisine in London. The Fava and Tiropitakia were good, otherwise poor quality for the price.

For £8.75 you can eat a starter with Greek sauces and a main course plus tap water (interesting about tap water when you want to save). Very good restaurant to rest a little and taste Greek food after having been exploring London. Next to Trafalgar, although there are many throughout the city For £8.75 you can eat a starter with Greek sauces and a main course plus "tap water" (interesting about tap water when you want to save). Very good restaurant to rest a little and taste Greek food after having been walking around London. Next to Trafalgar, although there are many on the rest of London

Omg! Guys the food was soo good like 10/10 and the service was amazing especially that kind girl Nabila, she was so nice and patient with us cuz we were taking so long for ordering our food and she made the experience much easier for us. like I said the food was so nice the service, atmosphere like everything was so nice. Me and the girls had so much fun😘

had lunch special, chicken wings with rice. came with choice of two dips and carrots celery sticks.

Olessia was amazing and kind. She made our evening even better. Thank you!! We will come back again just for you.

Food was fantastic and Olessia went over and beyond in her service and accommodating our late night requests! I couldn’t fault her service at all!

We were served almost at the end of closing time. Olessia was tremendous, she not only accommodated us, offered us the best in the menu but also offered her own food she was supposed to take home for herself, as the last order time was over . She is awesome.

The service is very fast and very kind. Magda was especially helpful and takes care of her customers. Beautifully lit up interior and peaceful atmosphere. The perfect place to dine in during the day as well as the evening. The food is so so delicious, fresh and its quality is genuinely amazing. I recommend the tomato prawns, Greek salad and hummus, worth every penny.

Nice atmosphere, great food and great service from Olesia

The food was amazing. The servers were really helpful with helping me choose what to have, including the wine choice. It's a really pretty restaurant with amazing food.

Delicious food and great friendly service. Busy atmosphere but not hectic. Love the food options and the chocolate mousse cake is so good.

We love the Real Greek, the food and service is amazing. Thank you Olessia for the amazing service.

A real fantastic experience! Food was super tasty and Olessia was so pretty and kind ! Satisfying experience !

Amazing experience at The Real Greek! Olessia was excellent!

Olessia was so helpful and made are lunch really lovely. Sge also acknowledged our effort of speaking Greek! Thank you. 💗

Food beautiful, small issue with 1 dish but was resolved quickly, olessia was so lovely

Everything was very good, very good presentation and food, spectacular service and very original dishes. I totally recommend it!

It is a bar to order various things and share. The dishes are tapa size, it is not very expensive for the area it is in. We ordered vara, moussaka, chicken and pork meatballs. A very pleasant treatment. The food is very delicious, my photos don't do it justice hahaha It's worth it, I would repeat again!!!

Amazing food and great service from Olesia and Magda

Great place. Fantastic Greek food. Service was great. Only two staff working but they were amazing, very attentive. Love this place.

A busy restaurant, but that didn't slow down the staff. We were seated in under 5 minutes, and the drinks delivered not long after. While the menu is not large, the flavor of the food was amazing. I split the grill platter with a friend, and my wife ordered the mousaka. It was an enjoyable meal after a long day.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly efficient staff and very tasty food, not too expensive considering it's in Covent garden, I'd definitely dine here again

Little Greek restaurant with great atmosphere!shared a delicious 8 dish sampler on these cute vertical platter holders. Our server Nabela was great!

We shared a plate for two like advertised in the window. Unfortunately the meat was quite burnt and a bit of it appeared to be spoiled. On addition, the service was not efficient at all - although the waiter had a plaster cast on one arm, so we can easily forgive him. In the end, we were quite disappointed. I do hope our experience was an isolated case - it seems to be, according to the good reviews.

A very nice place with very good service at the table by Nabela who speaks Spanish and was very attentive to us. Very good food. I recommend the moussaka and at a good price. We will return without a doubt. Thank you.
