The Real Greek - Dulwich in Southwark

Un buen restaurante en el pueblo de Dulwich, pero la comida era muy promedio. No estoy seguro de volver. La comida no parecía fresca y las envolturas eran masticables.

Este es un gran restaurante. La comida era buena, también era moderadamente barato. El servicio sin embargo fue excelente, esto se debió tanto a Sami y Alex que fueron atentos y amables. Estos dos hicieron nuestra comida excepcional. La única manera de mejorar nuestra noche era el clima para ser cálido verano soleado por la noche y no una fría noche húmeda de otoño

Entramos sin reserva y nos cuidaron de inmediato. El menú era interesante y variado, y nuestras preguntas sobre algunos de los elementos en él fueron respondidas para que pudiéramos ordenar con conocimiento de causa. El feta picante y el pan plano eran excelentes. También disfrutamos de la moussaka, albóndigas de cordero y paquetes de espinacas. Probamos los bocados de bacalao salado, pero eran un poco masticables. El gerente era muy amable y servicial, y sin duda volveríamos para otro almuerzo.

Preciosa comida griega fresca y saludable. Tuvimos el picante feta dip y houmous con pan de pita caliente y crudités. El pincho de pollo estaba húmedo y sabroso. Las patatas fritas estaban perfectamente cocidas. El arroz también estaba bueno. El calamar estaba delicioso y crujiente. Los desiertos también eran divinos. El personal de espera era amable y profesional. Sin duda volvería. Una muy buena experiencia gastronómica. El restaurante es elegante también.

He estado dos veces en Groupon vale para establecer laberintos Excelente, siempre y cuando te guste la comida griega, por supuesto. El servicio es muy muy bueno. Ambiente y decoración muy agradable. Y el personal amable. Es una ubicación agradable y el aparcamiento es bastante fácil. Muy recomendable, .

Great evening, fab food, fun atmosphere and good service

My wife, son and I visited for a family dinner. This is indeed the genuine article. Very good quality food, combined with cheerful and attentive service.

Lovely waiting staff, with quick service and delicious traditional food. Couldn’t recommend more

Just enjoyed a really nice lunch here. Food choice was excellent and was well served by Theo, who was a great help in choice of food, and attended to our requests with pleasure and a smile. Would recommend this restaurant as a great choice for an easy and enjoyable lunch.

Brilliant service and excellent food.

Very nice greek food! We had 4 dishes between two people, grilled octopus, greek salad and grilled vegetables and halloumi skewer. Plus one glass of wine that the waiter didn’t charge us for

Pros : - Lovely Staff - Excellent food presentation - ok atmosphere I guess - fast service - beautiful restaurant Cons : - mediocre food ( Bland and tasteless not worth the money ) - Tap water !! - no table cloth / not even wiped table - no greek music - NO GYROS !!! Overall if you never tried greek food in your life then this restaurant is a “meh” I guess but otherwise a poor attempt or mediocre recreation of the food at best. First time visit probably last ever visit. It’s a attempt to keep things “ modern and cool ” you can have the best looking restaurant and best staff but if the food is bad and the customer doesn’t feel like they are in a taverna then what’s the point ? Honestly is “meh” for tourists or people who are not well acquainted with vibrant greek culture or delicious food.

Food tastes fresh and well made. Was served by a lovely waitress.

100% Greek food and lovely staff. We booked a table but were able to change it to one outside as it was a very warm evening. Very helpful waiter.

Food was good. Ambiance and service was good. Only point, portion for 2 people, is for 3, and is priced that way.

Enjoyed a low key evening with a friend sitting outside enjoying tasty food as the dusk drew in. Aubergine dip was delicious and the wrap tasty, Friendly service and good value.

Superb starters! The mains were also good too with a nice selection of dishes shared among us.

Popped in for an impromptu lunch, it turned into a long one! The Real Greek might be a chain, but it feels like an authentic village taverna. The food was full of homemade flavours and the staff friendly. Highly recommended.

We came today for end of school lunch and had the worst waiter. Worked in the industry for over 10 years and just disappointed at the service. We weren’t given menus, had to go get them myself (lunch menu) then saw there was a a la carte menu at the til when I was so tired of waiting for the waiter to come back to take our order. She was wearing sunglasses which would be fine but she just gave “I don’t care” attitude. If you’re unwilling to do the job well then don’t, it ruins the experience. Not even sure if we paid service but she definitely didn’t deserve any. It wasn’t actually busy like Rocca and the end of term, so actually very manageable but they just had us waiting and others for no reason.

Utterly delicious food with big portions and good value - their cold meze is to die for!!

I loved the appetizers and shrimp, they were delicious. I especially liked Spicy Feta Dip.

Very nice resturant, very clean and welcoming.

Great food, lovely staff, reasonable prices. Will be coming back!

It was very good price for the very good food which I enjoyed very much. I would highly recommend it as it has nice people, nice food and a nice atmosphere.

Delicious food, friendly staff, love the atmosphere.

Wow just tasty lunch, fresh ingredients, bourgouri was fab, the sun was shinning, fell like on the island of Skiathos. Love to taste their lunch menu in my lunch break 😋 from school, good conversation with the staff.

Tres bonne ambiance. On a aimé les plats. Dommages qu’in ne puisse pas casser mes assiettes apres. Personnel sympa et a disposition surtout le manager qui fait d’excellents cafés turc.

Manager was amazing friendly. Food was amazing,staff were very friendly. I will return

Beautiful meal! Manager was lovely! Staff are polite! Restaurant is cool and a lovely place! Will be back.

Lovely Greek food, nice and calm atmosphere inside. Must be really nice during the summer as there is seating outside. Service charge automatically added to your bill

this time I was disappointed, wet sticky table, dirty chairs, lamb meatballs very burnt, too much, same with chicken skewer, it was dry and burnt, bottle the tap water had some stains and should have been washed earlier

We had a lovely lunch with all family. Lovely flavours and warmth welcome as always. Thank you for your present for the birthday cake. Recommend this lovely restaurant to everyone.

Delicious food and good service with a smile

I ventured, alongside my family, to commemorate my sister's 60th birthday. Our group, comprising both adults and children, posed a challenge for any dining establishment. However, the proprietor graciously accommodated us, deftly rearranging tables to enhance our dining experience. The waitress exuded warmth and efficiency throughout our meal. Every member of our party relished the culinary offerings, with even my great nephew, aged 15, bravely venturing to sample and savour the Octopus and Calamari, alongside the tomatoes adorning the Greek salad - a feat considering his aversion to tomatoes. The Popcorn halloumi starter proved a delightful revelation, a novel and delectable precursor to the main course. Opting for the Lamb skewer accompanied by a Greek salad and a bowl of chips, I found the lamb impeccably tender and grilled to perfection. The Greek salad boasted a delightful freshness, with the tomatoes particularly standing out. Though the chips possessed a satisfying crispness, a touch more warmth would have elevated them further. Overall, the experience proved immensely enjoyable for all, underscored by reasonable pricing. The staff exuded warmth and professionalism, complementing the pleasant environs of London. Moreover, ample parking in the vicinity further enhanced the experience.

The name shouldn't fool you. They don't even make Freddo! Overall, it was a good place to eat lunch. I visited many other "The Real Greek" this was another ordinary, touristic place which has pale blue & white paint and a few decorations made up looks like a Greece from the far east. The females who work in service have ZERO smiles and a welcoming attitude, maybe they want to resign, who knows. The guy who looked after us was okay and attentive. It has a great location in cute Dulwich Village, it has outside seating with no ashtrays. I took a couple of nice photos for you all. ⚓️⛵️🛟🌞

Friendly staff, delicious food, great value. We opted for the Kali Orexi set menu, which offers a wide food selection with great portion sizes at a very reasonable price. Compared with the main menu, this is definitely the best option in terms of value for money. Food was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic.

Nice selection of dishes highly recommend it. Service was very nice by the manager Ferit. Definitely will come again.

Excellent service. Came for a family meal for 7 people. The kofte was delicious and great atmosphere. Manager Ferit was great.

Amazing service and food. We were served by the manager great guy definitely will be returning

Tonight, I was pleasantly surprised about this fairly local restaurant! The staff were welcoming and friendly with lovely manners. Food was a true joy! Ordered the grilled octopus which brought me right back to my favourite seaside place….enjoyed every morsel. The dessert was exceptional - I had the Greek filo pastry with custard and vanilla ice cream …. Amazing! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

I went there on a Sunday after reading the reviews and it was a terrible experience and I left feeling very disappointed with the quality and taste of everything, not even the chicken wings were good :/ perhaps they change the chef on that day 🙄I wouldn’t go there again though to try it again.

We wanted a local eatery and decided to visit The Real Greek, Dulwich. The last time we visited this chain we went to Windsor and had an excellent meal that was comparable to the recently visited Greek Isles. Sadly, this experience was the complete opposite. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, with 4 tables being occupied. The supervisor looked sullen and wasn't particularly friendly, but showed us to our table and left us to peruse the menu. And left us, and left us, not even offering drinks. 20 minutes later the waitress came to take our order but still didnt ask if we wanted drinks. Obviously we orderedthese at the same time as the food. When the food arrived, the portions were good sizes but there was no flavour to anything, the moussaka was burnt and we couldn't eat much of our meal as it was tasteless and overcooked. For 45 minutes we tried to get the attention of the staff but every time we caught their eye, they ignored us, looked away and carried on chatting amongst themselves. Eventually we got up to leave and shared our comments which appeared to fall on deaf ears and got excuses about being busy earlier in the evening so they were tired! We won't be visiting this chain again as this experience has put us off completely. Extremely disappointing. Can't recommend any dishes as they were all as bland and tasteless as each other.

Very nice experience, the food was very good and affordable. The terrace is really nice as well. The service by Verona was perfect !

Ate there last night- was delicious! Great service, lovely wine. We got a tower of delicious shareable items, and then a dish of our own, I had the vegan meatballs and the sauce on the meatballs delicious . I will go back next time i visit london🇬🇧

Ordered off uber eats and half my order was missing. Fallafel underwhelming and ordered the slaw which basically had nothing in. Chicken was bland and lacking in quantity and quality. Pork was fatty and generally underwhelmed with this order. I have been to another real greek and was pleased previously, albeit rather average for "Greek" food

Great food, lovely service and very caring towards my nut allergy, they really made a lot of effort for me.

Nice food and exceptional service. The manager is great.

The décor and atmosphere was nice in an average type of way the place was clean and staff were polite and attentive. I just didn't particularly like the food I had ordered. It was probably what would have been expected and didn't taste bad. An overall enjoyable experience

Really bad service !!! Girl looked like she didn’t want to be there terrible service !!! Didn’t ask how our meal was didn’t come with sauces and didn’t check k at anytime if all was ok. Shame food was lovely ! Won’t be back !

Amazing food also amazing service it was our first time there but the atmosphere and the service where like we have been there every week ☺️☺️☺️☺️ hi recommend specially the meat plate mmmm🤩🤩 were amazing.. and very nice music..

Great food overall and very nice staff helping me with the menu as it’s my first time, welcoming environment in general would definitely recommend

Excellent experience. Don't miss the meze platter and the lamb meatballs . Friendly staff and authentic flavors make this a must-visit spot for any food lover!

We had a nice meal with friends and it was delicious food as usual. We had well come smile as always. Thank you for your hospitality and privilege.

Great location and good service however unfortunately the food is a real let down. Nothing to do with the chefs or staff. I imagine all food comes in centrally and it’s just tasteless and bland. I think no perhaps a lot of ingredients are frozen so it’s just all heated up, but there is no taste to anything? Lacking any fresh ingredients unfortunately….. such a shame.

Had a lovely birthday celebration at The Real Greek was really taken care of. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff. Manager went all out even cooked in the kitchen to help out with the large booking of 17. A slice of delicious cake given to myself the birthday girl on the house. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We visited for a family celebration dinner. The food was indeed “real Greek” (we have many Greek relations), with a wide choice of well cooked dishes. The service, especially from Alex, was very attentive and helpful.

clean, cozy, not crowded. service was fast, good was delicious and the staff was very kind. we made a booking beforehand but arrived super early and it wasn't an issue at all :) LOADS of veggie, vegan and gf options and quite large wine selection too :) funky juices like lemon and cranberry too!

superb food and amazing service. the staff was extremely friendly and responsive, and the food was flavourful and delicious.

good atmosphere good food and the staff are beautiful

Beautiful food and large portions.....winning combination

This restaurant used to be our favorite for vegan Greek food, however the quality of the food has gone down dramatically. The vegan meatballs are not something that you would get from Ikea whereas before they were homemade with thick tomato sauce and now the sauce was very watery. All of the mezzes were way too oily and the new potatoes were swimming in oil. Also we were first served the lamb meatballs by accident despite ordering the vegan ones. Will not go ever back again.

The restaurant was amazing and the food exquisite! Very good for a family outing or a friend reunion. The food palette was developed and my vegetarian friend was also satisfied. This place is totally wonderful and I would go again 😁

We wanted a pleasant lunch time dining experience and we got it. For what worked out at approx £25 a head we had a large main course (the Greek plate), desert (two large scoops of ice cream) a bottle of sparkling mineral water, a drink each, (I chose wine and my partner chose fruit juice) followed by a mellow coffee. The main course - flat bread, tsiki, good Greek salad, savoury rice and a protein of your choice - was delicious. My halumi was crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Just perfect. My partner’s chicken on a skewer was tender and tangy. The service was pleasant, the decor clean, light and easy on the eye - all in all a far better eating experience than we had anticipated and value for money when compared to surrounding cafes and restaurants. Would highly recommend lunch here.

Ambience and service couldn't be faulted. We had the £10 lunch deal which consisted of a number of dishes. To my surprise all the dishes came on one plate, and this was far from satisfactory as they tended to blend into an anonymous mush. At lunch another time I shall choose one dish from the main menu.

The staff was incredibly! Lovely atmosphere with great food and wine

Yummy food!! The kids love it here

Excellent service and food. We particularly enjoyed the chicken skewers, halloumi fries and baklava. One of our regular spots for lunch in the area.

Came here for my son's 16th birthday. The restaurant is beautiful, the setting, atmosphere, feels very inviting, clean, and very coastal. The food was delicious and loads of it, the staff were superb, very helpful and accommodating. The complimentary birthday cake was excellent and a very good idea that they offer that too, it completes the package! Staff were so friendly, they couldn't do enough for you!! There was so much food, we couldn't even finish and missed out on dessert! We have been told about their delicious " lemon cake and orange cake" by a family member and a friend, and we will definitely be back to try the cakes! Definitely recommend, and will definitely be back. Great place to go for special occasions and birthdays, the place is beautiful.

Just had a takeaway from this place and the lamb was inedible. It was too tough to eat. It smelled off.

Staff Good and attentive. Ambience fine. Food unfortunately not great. Lukewarm food , small portions especially for mains. Expensive for portion size and amount of ingredients.

Such an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, the staff and the manager were very attentive. Definitely come back!!

Oh wow! What an experience! The food is absolutely delicious! Fell in love with this place. Will definitely come back!

Friendly staff, great service and tasty fresh food. We went as a large family group including children for a birthday celebration & everyone enjoyed it.

I like experiencing new cuisine and places and usually I don't go twice in the same place. . The Real Greek is one of the restaurant I returned!

Meat was quite chewy, but the sauce was amazing so was the flavour!

Amazing atmosphere and delicious food!! A bit pricey for the quantity but even as a greek I can say wow the food is SUPERB! I strongly recommend!

The best pork wrap you’ll ever get!

Is ideal place for quiet family dining and really tasty food. Friendly and helpful staff .

This restaurant offered us a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm, service is attentive, and the menu presents a variety of authentic Greek dishes. From well-seasoned souvlaki to flavorful mezes, the flavors are commendable. A solid choice for those craving a taste of Greece in London.

Had lunch for party of 12 today and we all thought the food and service was excellent. The lunch plates are particularly good value for money, very generous portions and very tasty food. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Dealing with a large party is never easy but they did everyone's order perfectly. Thank you for making our lunch so enjoyable!

I really enjoyed the food. Loved the quality of food and the waiter helped us in choosing the wine, which was just perfect .

Excellent light lunch from the £9.95 menu. We had a very well prepared, tasty combination of chicken skewers, salad, rice and flatbreads. The service was just right; friendly and attentive without intrusion. Pleasant ambience and great value. We would be very happy to return when next in Dulwich.

Five Star service. Really great selection on the menu (something for everyone) and it was delicious!! Even bought some of the Greek Oil x3 which is sooo good….will be back for sure. Thanks very much.

Ordered on uber eats. Fries less than half a bag for £4 - rip off!! Horrible tasting, dry falafel. Nice halloumi bites. Overall dissatisfied and won't eat at or from any of thes branches again.

Die Speisen waren alle schön hergerichtet, auch das Lokal gefiel uns sehr gut. Das Essen war solala, es fehlten einfach die Gewürze, wir mussten fast alles nachsalzen und dennoch war es nicht wirklich gut. Wir würden nicht nochmsls gehen.

We loved our visit to The Real Greek in Dulwich. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The manager couldn’t do enough for us. The food was to die for, lots of choice and really tasty. Will definitely recommend to everyone!

My go to spot for a lovely mid-week lunch. Great food, lovely staff and very reasonable prices.

Very average food. One dish was really burnt too. Mostly flavorless except for the lamb meatballs. It’s okay if nowhere else is open but wouldn’t recommend.

Terrible bland gyros. Half filled with mainly chips lack of sauce halloumi and veg, so dry and bland. Halloumi bites were quite nice however then found a hair in them half way through. No offer of a refund a replacement of terrible wrap.

The manager at this restaurant is both inappropriate and rude. I and a very small group of others were volunteering at the local park to get the plants ready for the winter and decided to quick grab some lunch before heading back. We arrived and he inappropriately asked for a female of the groups mobile number proclaiming that was how he picked up females and them continued to asked for all of our ages. We quickly ordered for take away. We asked if it was ok to sit down at a table as the restaurant was empty. He agreed. When the food came a colleague suggested we just stayed sat down. When the food came, a colleague suggested we might just stay sat and quickly finish the wrap we ordered. Many staff walked passed and saw us at the table eating and also asked if we needed anything else. When the manager walked back in to the restaurant he rudely growled at us to say we need to leave it’s not nice that we are sat here and eating. We apologised and said we did not realise we could not change our minds about staying in, that we will leave immediately. He again growled rudely and said no, that we knew what we were doing and we knew that the takeaway food prices were less than dining in pricing and so taking advantage. We again apologised and stated that was not the case. He then rudely said ‘no stay, you know for next time’ which we declined the offer to remain in now a hostile environment. I won’t ever be going back to be spoken to like that ever again when we made a genuine misjudgement of the decision we were making.

Celebrating my belated birthday with dear friends. The waitress, Alex, was very friendly & helpful, particularly with our many different requests. Noticing it was a celebration we were given complimentary coffees. We especially enjoyed the Mediterranean rice.

Good Food, Good Vibes @ The Real Greek… This was my first visit to the Real Greek restaurant…. I must say I choose the right place to eat… EnjoyEd my Meal and also had nice conversation with the floor Manager Feret who is a really nice guy… I will definitely be back to see what other treats I can eat… Thank you Guys Anthony

This restaurant is highly recommended - we went for a late lunch with friends, and were impressed by the quality of the food we ordered, and also the friendly staff and their attention. We enjoyed a selection of hot and cold mezes, and then main courses, including lamb meatballs, BBQ chicken wings, chicken monastir, followed by a selection of desserts. Altogether an enjoyable experience.

Visited The Real Greek with friends. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was excellent. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Highly recommended and we will definitely be going back soon.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious especially the Moussaka and the lamb skewers. Th

First time visiting and the food was excellent and it was quite which was nice

Good food and friendly staff. Recommend octopus to anyone who likes seafood. Thank you guys for the suggestions and friendly service.

Love greek food, but this restaurant adds way too much Salt very unhealthy

terrible taste and not real greek food, would leave zero stars if I could. poor food quality

Disappointed with the service. Not very welcoming staff. We asked that the main course was not be brought until we had finished the starter and it was brought whilst we were still eating starter. Waitress appeared quite disgruntled/rude when we asked for the food to be taken away until we were ready.
