The Real Greek - Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

These restaurant - '. We were going there with my foster dad *BennyShack* for a while. ....He eats like a horse and yet he's s as thin as a rake.....' (The capital Man sorry The Man from capital city) It weren't snakes that interrupted us but a brave manager of * The Angel* while all customers went to *Turpins * only to give great feedbacks to *Roka* with amazing /light and decoratins - solutions/. It is worth to look again towards Newcastle City as COTINGHAM is slightly overrated especially if It is not on Yours but Almost On your Irish and Turkish temporary neighbours' lists. We don't have decent CYPRIOT restaurants do we ( kibris one ...eah) ?

We had the displeasure of being stuck for somewhere to go to eat, all our regular places were either closed or fully booked. The food was hugely overpriced, none of it was fresh, took ages to come out despite the restaurant being almost empty. The worst meal we’ve eaten in a long time.

Nice food served by friendly staff but nearly didn't go in as my wife and I thought it was closed as people were taken upstairs to eat leaving downstairs empty also I feel if the staff had some kind of uniform or white shirt on instead of tracksuit tops or t-shirts it would feel better

Why the Flag of Greece is lacking the cross? If you are called “The Real Greek” then you should know and use the real flag of Greece.

Very authentic Greek food, service was first class staff very friendly would definitely visit again when we go back to Newcastle

We stumbled across this wonderful place yesterday afternoon and already can't wait to go back. We had walked out of their next door neighbour restaurant following an unpleasant encounter with a member of their staff who was unwelcoming, to say the least. We are now so glad we did as Steven and all the staff in The Real Greek couldn't have been more helpful and attentive from start to finish. The lunch menu was a fantastic deal with plenty to choose from to suit all of us. Each dish was absolutely delicious, including the dessert, which Steven persuaded two of us to try. We will most definitely be back as soon as we can.

Really good food and reasonably priced. Was seated by a friendly member of staff but was mostly served by a lovely guy called Steven who was extremely friendly and made great menu recommendations! Will definitely be back

The best tzatsiki ive experienced outside of Greece. Delightful staff, food came out quickly and was very tasty. Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.

Always happy to try somewhere different when in Newcastle, and reviews for here seemed good. I found it to be a nice enough place with fast service but the food was average at best, and certainly not the best value for money compared to other Greek restaurants in town. 3 pieces of chicken in a wrap and 2 meatballs in the other one at £9 a pop. Yes tasty enough, but by the time you added on a small dip of tzatziki and small portion of potatoes for another tenner I think it was overpriced, my opinion of course but that's how I feel.

We visited Saturday 9th without a booking. Luckily we managed to get a table, the drinks and food came in a timely manner. The food was amazing and the best tzatziki outside of Greece. Everything was delicious. Steven was fantastic. Thank you for amazing food and great service

Birthday celebrations at this restaurant were overshadowed by AC Milan supporters demanding service. Despite having a reservation, we were a party of five - with a very hungry toddler! Waited twenty minutes for anyone to acknowledge our presence. Half an hour for drinks. Another half an hour for starters. Delicious food. Terrible service!

Our first time here and I must say it was delightful the food was really good, service was prompt and the restaurant was very clean and tidy

Popped in late afternoon when finished shopping nice atmosphere great service waitress so good enjoyed food would defo go back🇬🇷💕 x

We came here for a birthday meal and had the Tonia set menu. The food was mediocre, bland prawns, burnt pork etc... The staff were friendly and tried their best but the food was just really dissapointing. I would definitely advise others to steer clear, not worth it at all.

The loveliest staff and the amazing food every single time. Very much recommend!

I had the most pleasant surprise stumbling across this little gem. food was delicious, all obviously home made , freshly prepared with love. Prices are more than reasonable. The atmosphere was great, relaxing, inviting in a clean and warm place. Michaela was so helpful and pleasant as well. 10 out of 5 stars and it's a shame you don't deliver in my area I would order every week.

One word disappointed. Last minute dinner plans, for a meal that looked so nice and tasted good the only thing I can complain is how cold the food was that was served. Chips stone cold, Chicken wrap cold. Which is a shame because my partner said her food was good hence the three instead of the two. The rice for 4.50 is overpriced, bit of tomato sauce in the middle of plain bland rice? Mediterranean? really? I wasn't impressed. I could have paid less outside at the xmas market ! lol, The service was good as our server Steve was excellent. But probably our last time !

The place is amazing the atmosphere and the servers are the best , only the rice was a little bit undercooked but totally ok. Greek coffee is absolutely amazing and the custard pie was wonderful Steven was more than welcoming and helped us alot

Steven was amazing! Love Steven:)

Steven was a great server- very friendly and helpful with amazing recommendations of what to order! 10/10 food made very affordable with student discount!

First time I'd been to this restaurant & I thought it was very good. Food was nice, well presented & very tasty. Staff were excellent throughout. It was quiet for a Saturday evening but that's probably because a match was on.

Fabulous lunch, wonderful service

A bit quiet but I blame the weather. Can't fault the service or the friendly staff. The food brought back memories of Cyprus. Halloumi popcorn is just 😋

Fab service from Steven. Super attentive and very entertaining. Food was super fresh and really fast. Will definitely be visiting again

We had a wonderful meal this afternoon. Our server Dylan was amazing, with excellent customer service and his recommendation of the Greek filo custard pie was spot on! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Food was lovely, a great Geordie welcome with nice a bit of banter. Whilst it was a tad cool it was very spacious and very clean. Not a busy night so the atmosphere was missing something. We had 3 dishes each and the moussaka was to die for. It was all full of flavour and 3 dishes each was enough. I tried a cocktail and my partner had the house red wine . Water was also served. Toilet was nice n clean too

We had a lovely meal at the real greek Newcastle, Dylan was a brilliant waiter and the food was delicious. The restaurant was a bit on the cold side and not many people in there when we first went in, but it didn't take anything away from our experience and the delicious food. Thank you.

Really nice food and a Custard pie to die for.

This place is truly awesome. Food amazing, staff are fantastic and the atmosphere very relaxing! It's also accessible which I loved!

We have always fancied trying this place and finally got the opportunity. We were not disappointed. From entering to leaving we were made very welcome by the staff and the food was even better than we were hoping for. The way it was served on "afternoon tea" platters was excellent and made it easier to eat. Highly recommended and we will be back.

Food was amazing, and the service from Steven and Molly was great! Dessert recommendations were spot on, highly recommended the custard filo pie!

Steven and molly very friendly, service was amazing and food was amazing defo come here again :)

I absolutely adore this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is super tasty for both vegetarians and meat eaters and comes out in great time. I couldn’t fault the service at all. I’ve been before and I’ll come again!! 10/10

Gorgeous food and lovely place really friendly service as well. Our first time there and it impressed. A few vegetarians on the table and they had choice and the 4 course dinner option for £17 pp was my choice and was definitely a great choice!

Delicious food and great service from Lisa and Steven!

Fantastic service from Steven. He was knowledgeable, friendly and made our night even better. The food was stop on as well. Definitely recommend.

All the staff were super friendly, especially Steve and Lisa! Food was delicious, would recommend the melitzanosalata :)

Amazing food. Had the chicken souvlaki and rice and it was very good. Service was great and the staff were lovely. Will be back!

We booked online and went for a 50th birthday celebration with family. The staff were great, friendly and helpful, the lady in charge that day (sorry I didn’t get her name) was really efficient and good fun, even gave me a birthday card as well as a free cocktail! The food was amazing, service quick and the table and loos were very clean. we would highly recommend this restaurant and won’t hesitate to go back x many thanks x

Helpful waiter, offered taste sample to assist with choices. Thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous food, reasonable prices, amazing service and a great atmosphere . We will definitely be going back ❤️❤️❤️

Served by Lisa today. She was lovely, conversational and the food was great. Made us feel right at home as well. Thank you Lisa!!

Wonderful food and drink. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Special shout out to Lisa for her wonderfu hospitality. We will be back!

Booked this restaurant for me and my Mum, never been here before, we got the menu which was £17 per person, and it was really worth the money. Kieran greeted us for our drinks and he was lovely, and Frank served us our food. Would really recommend this place if you want affordable Greek oriental food.

Waited 15 mins for an order so I just cancel it worst places to pickup from happen anytime I go there recommend anywhere else

Great food, staff friendly enjoyed everything

My partner and I decided to try here for lunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

Fantasic food very tasty like I'm already in Greece

Absolutely delicious if you like Greek Ford.we ate lunchtime menu so prices were good

Lovely wraps, we got pork and the lamb meatballs, both good choices! Steven provided great service and we even got our student discount

Lovely experience Steven was awesome !! Get the filo dessert!

it can be lovely if going to the restaurant. but if buying through ubereat be read to be disappointed such as a salad bowl half empty and meagre gyros and two pieces of bread for 20£.. needless to say that it was asically 20£ wasted :)

Really great food. Lovely experience, service was brilliant. Steven was a great sever and enhanced our experience!

Lovely experience, friendly staff, ordered the halloumi wrap and was very tasty with decent amount of halloumi inside. Would go back again.

Totally do not recommend going there. I ordered fried calamari, which were like the cheapest supermarket frozen food, put out of the freezer and added the drop of mayo. The Greek salad was full of cherry tomatoes, bitter cucumbers, tiny square of feta cheese, and 3-4 olives. If that was some street food takeaway with respective street food price, it would be ok, but it is a restaurant.

Went on a Saturday at 7.30pm, staff lovely, food lovely, but unfortunately there was a large table of 10 in downstairs and the noise was too much to be able to enjoy the evening. Other guests had asked to move tables. Felt like I was...

The gyros portion is way smaller compared to other ones I have tried here in the UK and especially in Greece. The price is through the roof, quite unreasonably. The taste is not so bad but it could be better. Hence why I give 3 stars otherwise it would be less.

Amazing food and service was great. Steven was lovely and so helpful

First time here, a great discovery, will certainly be back.. Steven was most helpful with menu choices.

We came to the Newcastle Old eldon Square restaurant , we had a wheelchair and a pram and wanted to sit outside as it was hot, the lady that served us could not have been more helpful if sh3 had tried, so polite and warm and friendly , rearranged everyth8ng to suite us straight away , she gave us s9me good advice on what to choose and offered an excellent service .we thanked her and asked her name which we don't normally do but really where impressed with her fantastic customer service , effortless.genuine and sincere.thank you Lisa x

Food was excellent, well presented and tasted very good with good portion sizes for the set meal for two. The service was very friendly and good albeit a little late to order given it was fairly quiet. The gratuity wasn’t automatic but the discrete way it was provided by the waiter meant it certainly wasn’t begrudged. Will come back again :)

Had a really great dinner here, had the set menu and they had some fantastic veggie options. All the food was tasty, didn't take long at all, very reasonably priced, and fantastic staff! Thank you!

Kieron made the evening so much more special- thank you so much!!

Fantastic food and the best thing was Kieron whose customer service was amazing 😊 thank you very much and we will definitely be back

Our Groupon experience was an absolute pleasure. The very knowledgeable young lady Phoebe explained all the cans/cant’s and we could not fault the food or presentation in any way. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and we’ll definitely be returning.

Had a lovely experience here the other day, amazing food and drinks and great service from Dylan, our server. Would definitely recommend!

Everything for the food to the service was class! Dylan made us feel very welcome and looked after.

Service was good and the food was lovely. Appreciated a chat with service manager - Dylan Graydon, he made our evening and experience very at ease and very enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time here being served by a young man called Kieron. We didn't know what all of the dishes were but he was very knowledgeable and helped us to choose some delicious dishes from a Groupon Set Meal for Two voucher. Greek...

Fabulous food and friendly staff. Our waiter even remembered my son and I visiting a year ago. The menu for two is huge - we had that and four extra small dishes and it was plenty for four hungry people.

Popped into day for a quick lunch and it most certainly was, the food was flavour full and well presented, definitely bringing the place up was the staff with there great survis and politeness will definitely be making a return

Lovely food, will definitely come again

Came Saturday 2nd September at around 2pm, maybe 3 tables were busy at most, this should have been an indication. Young girl showed us to a table outside, which all 4 tables around us needed cleaning. Pavement was disgusting with bird poo and chewing gum all around us. Then decided to move inside. Waited 20 minutes and no one came over to ask us for drinks or food so we just got up and left. Other few remaining customers said service was very slow. Won't be returing to try anything.

Very impressed with the food, excellent value on their set menu with 4 dishes for £17. It was just a shame we were 1 of only 2 tables in there on a quiet Monday evening.

What a lovely stumble in find - my son and I went for lunch to end the holidays and could not haves received a better service. All the staff were extremely polite and nothing was too much even telling us about children’s offers we weren’t...

We visited today for my dad's birthday and the service was second to none. Our server Kieran was superb - attentive and helpful with fantastic recommendations. Food was lovely and all 4 of us left woth a smile on our faces after delicious food and brilliant service. It's been quite a while since we've been impressed with service and we were impressed with all staff that we spoke to and that served us. Thank you.

Had an impromptu mid week afternoon out, Picked up a voucher off Groupon, fantastic value, food was fresh and tasty . Staff were friendly, recommended some delicious desserts, thank you Steven for looking after us, we will be back 😁 Only put 3 stars for atmosphere as the restaurant was quiet, just us at one point, a little background music would of been nice .

Me and my mother visited here today and it was amazing to quallity and friendly staff. Food was beautiful the only thing it was missing was the Greek sun it’s self will deffo becoming back and bringing the partner next time too

Great food great atmosphere will brilliant services kieron who served us was very helpful and knowable

Great place! First visit today with a friend. Very friendly welcome and staff attentive but give you plenty of time too. Light hearted chat with staff, offering help with menu choices. Food served quickly and was delicious. A great experience, thanks.

Our waitress Lisa was absolutely brilliant, great chat and so helpful!!

Only thing I would suggest is that there should be cream to go with the baklava

Atmosphere and staff were great, friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, very tasty and good portions.

Absolutely great service, amazing customer service from waiters and waitress’s also the food was the best Greek food I’ve ever had and would highly recommend this place to new greek tryers as I will not be going anywhere else from now on!!!

Food was spot on, great value and the staff were very attentive and fun

We all picked something from the lunch time menu! Such a great deal. The food is amazing and the service was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend more.

Fantastic service from a well respected waiter, his name was Dylan, very courteous and with 6 of us dining, he knew exactly which plate of food was located to each guest as there was such an array of beautiful tasty food! We have just come...

Fantastic service from a well respected waiter, his name was Dylan, very courteous and with 6 of us dining, he knew exactly which plate of food was located to each guest as there was such an array of beautiful tasty food! We have just come back from Greece and I must say the food at The Real Greek was fantastic and great value for money too! Highly recommended and will definitely return. ♥️

Nice food is good if you don't want a massive amount as they do tapas sizes

Portion sizes for price are ridiculous, chewy bites of meat in my meatballs and cocktails were not as described, very disappointed unfortunately.

Service was very slow for drinks, food was ok but portions are very small for the price, sovlaki wrap was almost £9 and like a childs portion, manager was very nice, family of 11 people left feeling hungry after an expensive bill, will not be returning

We decided to come here after the Lionesses World Cup Final whether they won or lost, and we were surprised to find it wasn't that busy. We had a groupon voucher which meant we could get our 'usual' but slightly cheaper than what we normally...

Would avoid at all costs. Me and my girlfriend came here just for a quick lunch while shopping, Ended up waiting half an hour for our food. We got the £8.25 wraps which were beyond over priced as I got a grand total of 5...

Lovely food nice place and good service

We went to the real greek in London, and it was great. Newcastle one was good, but maybe not as good as the London one. The food was fine though

I visited for lunch last week with a friend and had the vegan Platter which was great , and as a non Vegan, I was most impressed by the quality and portion size. Last night we took advantage of the Groupon deal for a sharing meal for two. The 3 courses were beautifully presented and delicious with very generous portions. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive especially Lisa the Manager and Stephen who made our experience most enjoyable. Check out this place, it is great value for money with a varied menu that caters for all.

Was lovely food and the staff were great!

I recommend that 100% , service it was amazing,special a Yong lad with red hair. So polite and very sweet.✅

We have lived in Greece for several years and know what the best Greek food is like. So we didn't have have the highest expectations. It turned out that we had a lovely time with tasty, simple food and really lovely service. Great atmosphere with real Greek popular songs.

Lovely meal out with my boyfriend. The food was tasty and the service was exceptional, we were served mainly by Dylan and he looked after us brilliantly. Would definitely come back! Thank you
