The Yummy Greek in Havering

I recently dined at this local Greek restaurant and had an unforgettable meal featuring their spit-roasted lamb, cooked to perfection over a charcoal grill. The lamb was simply incredible—tender, juicy, and packed with a smoky, savory flavor that’s easily the best I’ve ever tasted. Paired with a crisp, fresh salad and flavorful rice, every bite was a delight. We also had Dolma and backed Feta cheese for starters and my wife had a grilled holumi kebab. All the food was amazing. The experience was made even better by the superb service. Our waitress was fantastic—bubbly, friendly, and attentive in a way that really made us feel welcome. Although I didn’t catch her name, her warmth and enthusiasm added a special touch to our evening. It was my first visit, but I’m already looking forward to returning for both the amazing food and the outstanding service!

A lovely, inviting place to eat. The staff are wonderful, very warm and welcoming. Comfortable seating area with delightful background music, the menu is full and the food is authentic Athenian. We had lamb souvlaki/gyros, gyros plate, Greek sausage and salad. The meat was beautifully marinated, the chips were delicious, the salad was perfect and the feta was fresh. There are Greek beers and wines on offer. It was the best meal I have had in a long time and it was reasonably priced as well. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food, good size portions, friendly stuff. No complaints at all here, definitely recommended.

Great food and excellent friendly service.

Absolutely delicious and authentic...Will definitely be coming again, great portion sizes and great value for your money.

Went here for my birthday with my family. Friendly staff, food was fantastic. When they found out it was my birthday they brought out a cake for me. Hope to go again & this is also my go to takeaway.

Our first visit and must say that staff were excellent, very attentive and helpful with our orders. We did not have a meal but I did notice that the food being served looked and smelt great. We will certainly return to try it for ourselves.

The food was good but the staff were not very nice they just smiled at the face and coursed you from behind

we are regular costumers, but the lamb sovlaki was not the same, and I was rewarded by the girl I had seen before who did not have any information about the food she was serving me

I had a great experience at Yummy Greek, the atmosphere was 10 out of 10. The service very welcoming , I enjoyed the tastiest food ever. A big thank you 🙏

We chose to dine at this Greek restaurant based on a recommendation from our hotel, and the food was absolutely amazing. What truly stood out was the warm welcome we received from Sara, who was exceptional. She enthusiastically guided us through the menu, making great recommendations. It's rare to find someone who genuinely enjoys their job, and her passion made the experience even more enjoyable. Because of her, I had a fantastic time at this restaurant and would highly recommend it to all my friends and family. MANAGEMENT please give her employee of the year.

Excellent food and services Thank you!

Really good Greek food and really kind and friendly service. Highly recommended! 👌🏻🇬🇷

I found this place on Uber eats. Really good options and good prices for the portion sizes. I was really impressed with the quality and the tastiness of the pork souvlaki, offering a three skewer kebab box. The salad was just under a tenner, which I think is a little steep.

I have been trying for the longest time to get in touch the owner but obviously my messages and emails are not being reached. As a customer that’s has been purchasing from the establishment since inception, and have introduced friends and family there I am extremely disappointed in the service that I have been receiving for some time now. Specifically from the blond hair woman, who refused to give a name, and her customer service. I have sent an email and I have voiced my concerns enough is enough. I was just in the restaurant to see if any of the owners were in and as usual I was met with her disgusting attitude, all that can been seen on the cctv. She lacks decorum and simple manners to be a front of house staff. And out of respect of the owners and people that were sitting having their meals, and moreover, respect for myself, I refrained from acting in a manner that was unbecoming. The need for wanting to speak with the owner stemmed from the poor standard of food that I received via Uber eats and the telephone conversation I had, I believe was with the same lady as her mannerism over the phone is uncanny to what I just encountered. This was my go to place as I am a fussy/picky eater and it is absolutely disappointing that I will have to cease customs with them because of the deplorable customer service from that I have been receiving. Unacceptable. P.s the food in question is below the standard that has been set from the beginning.

The food here is amazing! Absolutely delicious, generous portion sizing, and my boyfriend and I come here very often. If you love greek food this is the place for you.

Came here on a random night the food portions were a very good size, food was lovely. I’ll probably come back here again.

Bifteki was excellent- and I’ve tried real Greek

Lovely food and very friendly and helpful service. One of our party was gluten sensitive and we received helpful advice with the menu. Food was delicious and portions generous

Food was amazing really tasty , staff very helpful and friendly especially Adrian a very nice guy with good patience to explain the dietary menu for my son which was gluten intolerant. Recommend 5*

We had a diner on Saturday evening. It wasn't busy, place was pleasant. Fried calamari where a disappointment, chewy with low amount of flavour. Shared meat plater for two people was great. Outstanding part was greek sausages with a herbs. Service was flawless. Overall we had good meal.

When you walk into a restaurant and the waitress does not understand 'wheat' and asks why you want to see the allergy book, you walk out and never return. I was surprised at the lack of knowledge by her, and disappointed I could not even speak to the chef because he did not speak English. They need to learn more about allergies and how to communicate properly with customers. Anyone who handles food should do their food safety training first. Customers have a right to see the allergen book, worrying that she asked why.

Really great host and lovely food

We popped in for a quick bite and must say it was a pleasant experience. Food was cooked to perfection, staff were very friendly and attentive The place was clean ! Would definitely go back again to try other stuff

Great place, tasty good quality food, big portions, will be back.

10/10 always coming back when missing this delicious Greek cuisine. Lovely stuff!

We had mixed skepasti and stuffed cheese bifteki. Skepasti was essentially fat and oily doner meat in pita, with close to no salad and dip. Dry and salty. Bifteki was the low quality fat minced meat stuffed with cheese. It had the supermarket frozen food taste, I would not recommend it. Wine was probably not to bad but it’s hard to say, as it was served to us warm. We sat outside as inside was too how. We paid circa £45 for two people.

Great food nice staff nice place 👍

Great taste. Tried chicken souvlaki and skepasti.skepasti quantity could be for two people.

Staff are very friendly. Service is amazing. Food is quick and quality is superb. Quality with reasonable prices would highly recommend!

Great food, lovely atmosphere, and so friendly staff, have been back twice in a row.

Very disappointed Second and last time here Very rude 😞😐

A real gem in Romford, great food, great service and great environment. Will definitely be returning!

She said she doesn’t have time to wait she need to order quickly . Jokers at counter even the kitchen staff confused what is the order. Their menu names are confusing . They want to do the job order quickly but we have waited for 30 minutes to deliver staff are hanging around

I am shocked! From super food, to super service ❤️‍🔥 Love it!!!

Amazing food , and really nice staff ❤️ a pleasure to come here ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stuff was very friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious. I will definitely go again. Really enjoyed. Big portions and normal prices.

I had been told by my friends about this restaurant that it is very good. And when I went on vacation to London, it goes without saying that I and my family visited it. It was really the best authentic Greek restaurant I've had. And the staff was very helpful. Well done to them, it is understood that we will go again as soon as we go to London again. I highly recommend it.

Been there today for the first time.Both me and my partner enjoyed it a lot the food is delicious the restaurant is very clean,good prices.We will definitely be back:)

Very delicious food,nice atmosphere.Highly recommended!!

Great tasting authentic Greek food and good sized portions. Loved it.

Delicious food and lovely staff. I've eaten here numerous times and never had a bad or even average dining experience. The mixed gyros plate is so good, I recommend it for any meat eater x

Nice experience in this pretty restaurant, we celebrated a birthday, food was delicious, at the end of our stay, the waitress brought to my friend a piece of cake with candle which made her feel even special in this day! Thank you guys!😍❤️❤️❤️

Big portions good food very friendly staff with option to sit outside very nice restaurant

Albina my waitress was brilliant. All the food was extremely tasty and fresh. Definitely be back!

South Street Tha Yummy Greek staff is very dirty, order is ready but still they don't give it, all staff work very slow, staff is very rude, no manners to talk here. And they never give order on time to Uber driver

Got it delivered via Uber eats and didn’t think much of the food I’m happy I didn’t pay full price it was all sweaty in the box small portion of chips just overall a bit overrated

Great food, big portions asked for extra and they gave me it. Would recommend

The food is awesome in this place. I've been a few times now. Not the cheapest place but we'll worth the money!

I'll be honest I had low expectations as I just came from Athens and didn't think a place in Romford could match my experience. But the food here was even better than a lot of restaurants IN Greece! Go here ASAP

Food was very nice, portion sizes are very generous, and they make a very nice double espresso! Recommend the Souvla, Gyros, and Vine Leaves!

Ate yummy pork souvlakia and exemplary service.

Very good food, good service, huge portions and not too expensive

The atmosphere and staff are amazing. Very patient and willing to listen to my older parents orders. And it was a birthday. And they helped with cakes and allowed us to bring a birthday cake and very patient staff.

What a fabulous restaurant, Friendly staff, food it was very tasty. I love it. Super recomend 👌

Lovely food and staff. Definitely recommend the deserts :)

I’m very upset about how they treated me inside. I’m doing delivery food job. The restaurant have them policy to keep the delivery drivers at the door like a dog. I understand that. But sometimes I go in the restaurant to eat because I like the food. For example, today I was sitting relax at the table waiting to be served , and a member of the staff asked me ,,what are you doing here?” I told her I just want to order something. She said ,,aaa aha ok “ but I was expecting to be treated like a human being not like that. I don’t even know if I can come back there. If I will, I like to be client not a dog like you think. Change the policy. This is the wrong one.

Excellent food and lovely staff!! Highly recommended

Very tasty food,reminded me of the Mediterranean! Friendly and great service from the staff. Definitely coming again!!!

Visited here with Family. We aren't from the area so needed somewhere relaxing to go. Certainly picked the right place, it was really lovely and clean Staff were friendly and attentive. Most of our food was absolutely deliciously, I was dissapointed with the Moussaka as assumed it would be cooked fresh, it tasted like it had been warmed in a microwave, it wasn't very hot and the bechamel was set like cold custard. The Souvlaki was amazing and the pork Gyros was great too. We would return and eat there again, I will order Gyros this time. Price was great too, very reasonable for the 5 of us. Great to go somewhere that isn't burger and chips. Highly recommend

My family and I come here on a regular basis. The food and service is always excellent. Came today with my son to celebrate greek Easter and we had the goat and lamb on the spit special. Very tasty and filling and service was great as always. Best greek restaurant in Romford.

We have ordered from The Yummy Greek and I guess it was a mix up with the order and we only got half of it. The staff was so nice, they called me and delivered it themselves, even gave us extra deserts on the house. The food is always so good and I appreciate the staff that works hard every time to provide a nice service.

Love my Greek salad and lovely service by loure thank you efgaristo manamu 😁

Great place. Good food and service. Nice additions of greek desserts and ouzo/raki. Lovely touches like real flowers on the tables.

Great place, visited many time and always look forward to coming back. Food is exactly what you want from a Greek restaurant!

Great food, great price, friendly staff

Im go to these restaurant very often .The food is amazing delisious ,serving and atmosfere also very good .im give 5star this place go try it .you not regret .thanks The Yummy Greek

Really tasty food and nice atmosphere

The food was very tasty, the service was fast and the waiter was very kind to us

On 22.4.2024, Monday, my wife and I stopped by this Greek restaurant in Romford for dine-in lunch. At 15:15pm we have read the menu outside, before going in, and photo'ed the advertised "The Yummy Hour 15% Off Dine-In Monday-Thursday 3pm-6pm (Please see the attached photo). Sat inside and ordered among others, 1 Chicken Souvlaki and 1 Pork Souvlaki. Several minutes later, they brought us 1 Chicken GYRO and 1 CHICKEN GYRO. We informed the waitress, which politely she understood the two mistakes on our order. She told us that she could change the order and bring us the correct one and also mentioned 3 times that we will be given a discount too. With that, we accepted to have the food they mistakenly brought to us. Asked for the bill and paid, only to realize later that the advertised 15% Discount was NOT given and NO other discount was given for the mistakes made by the restaurant. Clearly this made us both feel like we have been lied to. Please see the receipt and draw your own conclusions. How can we recommend this place? We do feel that others should be warned before going in or ordering.

Staff is really rude. Order never ready on time.

As always The Yummy Greek delivers the most amazing food. I don't get a chance to come here often but whenever I'm in town this is the place I choose to eat. The only disappointing thing is I could force myself to possibly eat any more. I always leave full and satisfied. Well done.

Went their a couple of weeks ago forgot to put my review. Came in no one even bothered to look to serve... Even after sitting down at the table for 5 minutes... One waitress looked and looked the other way. No one coming to ask if I need assistance... Certainly need to work on that here... Treat every customer the same and don't pick and choose which customer you want to help... As this is exactly what was happening! Certainly over priced for what was given the food was quite dry... Their is 100 percent definitely better Greek food than this place... Won't come back again waitresses pick and choose who they give good customer service to on who walks through that door because I evidently saw that with my own eyes.. Overall won't be coming back again... Thought to try a Greek place... Wasn't the best

Food was fantastic. Serving staff are attentive and it got busy very quickly as it is a good place to be.

Very good place to have a delicious Greek food 😋

The service from the ladies was so lovely, table service , polite and smiling. Food was delicious. Thank you so much for making me feel welcome and happy

Was my very first trying this place and I left disappointed. Wasn’t asked if I was eating in or taking away and just assumed I it was a takeaway. I had ordered the mixed gyro. Food lacked flavour and was very dry. I had asked for extra tzatziki on the side but they failed to mention that it would cost me an extra £1.50 for the smallest pot of tzatziki until I had finished everything; I don’t like when restaurants do this at all. The atmosphere felt a little judgemental. Feel like my money would have been better spent at the local kebab shop.

Lovely place to bring your family And friend nice food staff are very nice & polite

Great place for lunch. Food was delicious

Very good food, brilliant service

The food was great for starters I had garlic bread and my partner had the Calamari then for the mains my partner had pasta and I had the grand chicken caesar salad. Which was lovely I would definitely recommend.

Delicious and tasty food. I recommend at all. The staff is so amazing

Great place to have a meal. Great atmosphere friendly staff. Always smiling. You can dine in or do take away. Food is 10/10 and drinks served with ice arranging from soft drinks to beers and wines. Come here for first time and I'll be coming back. Bring friends and family x

The best local Greek, always with the best service and quality of food! Highly recommend!!!

Friendly staff and delicious food. We are definitely coming back.

Friendly staff, amazing food!! Will be coming back again!

The worse-worse service ever in my life. Just felt bad for myself to be there today and ordered to the most arrogant Albania-lady "who hed 14 years of experience". (More and more to say) nga patrioti. Best food - worst service

Lovely food, great service. Thank you Xhoi

I love going here. I have been a number of times and I have always thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is reasonably priced and tastes delicious.

Lovely little place, nice food, good service

Served by Xhoi, very nice food and service was good. 10/10

Service needs improvement as some staff members pay more attention to uber driver collection then sitting guests and keeps forgetting what is asked for. Food waiting time was 45 min, and starters arrived together with mains; although all was tasty, preference would be to have not chips served in every dish, but add vegetables instead.

Won’t be coming here again. Food was average, could have gone to the local kebab van and got better food. Service was shocking. Waited over an hour for the food and when it arrived the staff were extremely rude. I’ve got no problem waiting for food, especially when it’s busy but when the staff are rude and obnoxious, it’s unacceptable. When the food did arrive, it was cold. The beer was warmer than the food! Avoid at all costs.

Great food, very polite staff and fast service. Proper Greek food. Will definitely comeback.

Very friendly and great food. We enjoy coming here and they really make you feel welcome.

Food is amazing! Service is perfect!

Food was beautiful and service was great !

You said you’re a multicultural restaurant yet you’re rude to black people whats that about then?

I really recommend The Yummy Greek to any food lovers, the service was very welcoming and interactive, the food was outstanding a real Greek cuisine which is very rare to find within London, if you’re looking for a place to dine ,The Yummy Greek is the place to go you won’t regret it.

The chicken gyros filled with chips and halloumi is delicious. Just needs a little more meat inside.
