The best restaurants serving Greek food in City of London, Westminster London

Wandering through the charming streets of Bayswater, a glimmer of Greece caught our eye—a quaint, authentic Greek restaurant on Hartford Road. A hesitant venture at first, given a string of disappointing local Greek meals, soon turned into an unforgettable culinary delight. From the moment we stepped inside, the warm atmosphere enveloped us, punctuated by the laughter of satisfied diners and the gracious hospitality of the owner. The aromas of roasted lamb and oregano filled the air, teasing what was to come. As the dishes arrived, each plate was a masterpiece. The lamb melted in our mouths, its flavors a perfect harmony of tender juiciness and rich spices. The village salad, vibrant with crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, and tangy feta, transported us to the sunlit terraces of the Aegean. And then there was the chicken sandwich—simple yet extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression long after the last bite. This wasn't just a meal; it was a journey back to the heart of Greek culture, where tradition meets culinary artistry. Now, this hidden gem is more than just a restaurant—it's our new go-to for a home-cooked feast and a dose of Mediterranean joy. A must-visit for anyone in Bayswater seeking true Greek authenticity, delightful service, and incredible value for money.

Really tasty street food in perfect surroundings. The chicken gyros was fresh and delicious. Would definately come here again.

Very friendly welcome, homely feel to the place. Had feta and sauce with pitta which was warm and soft. Followed by mixed Gyros which was amazing. So flavoursome I forget to take pictures.

My partner decided to take me out for dinner on my birthday to this wonderful place. The food was absolutely wonderful. Personally my favourite dishes were the mussels and my partners main dish which was the barbouni. I ordered the monkfish which was also a delight to eat. The setting and lighting was wonderfully romantic and cosy. The restaurant does not have too many tables which makes it very peaceful to be at and enjoy some great Greek authentic food. The service for me was the best part. Asal is such a lovely waitress and is super attentive. She took her time to inform us about the dishes of the day and restaurant recommendations. She is a star and we will definitely be back again. Thanks !

Delicious Greek food in the historic center of London. Very caring staff.

I come here every time I’m in London and it never fails to be one of my favorite meals. Tucked away on a side street with a small bar and chairs that line counter seating, the service is always friendly and well paced. There are regular dishes (garlic prawns, octopus, sweet potato patatas bravas) and some new ones each time (scallops, fish cakes) so you won’t get bored of the menu. I’ve never had something I didn’t enjoy or absolutely love. Excellent flavors, great for sharing tho very large groups wouldn’t do well here given the seating arrangements. Extensive (mostly) Spanish wine list. On a weekend night it can be loud and lively. On a rainy weekday it can be chill and relaxed. When it’s nice out you might be lucky to get one of the small tables outside and feel the energy of the neighborhood while you eat. All great ways to enjoy Copita.

Great for a quick bite with ok prices. The food was tasty and it's in a gorgeous area too. We had the aubergine, cod and lamb meatballs. The cod was done well. It's a little cramped with adjacent tables, a tad too close too each other. This was my first time to The Real Greek. I believe they are a chain and you can find them in several locations across London. Lots of vegetarian options and also great if you just want a light meal. They serve the tapas on a tiered stand which looks rather fancy, and reminded me of afternoon tea!

This restaurant has all the things I normally love: a great atmosphere, a simple menu, incredibly friendly and warm service and good prices. Unfortunately the food wasn’t good. Some dishes were okay like the halloumi, the beetroot salad and the pork souvlaki. But other dishes were bad (the moussaka in particular was very dry and unpleasant). It also didn’t feel very authentically Greek. For instance it’s now so easy to get delicious authentic Greek pita in London, so I don’t know why they served the dry and chewy anglicised version. Overall this just wasn’t very good Greek food. However as I said before the team were so friendly and the restaurant was absolutely packed making for a cosy and delightful atmosphere.

What a great restaurant, fabulous food in understated surroundings. Lovely people. The spit roasted meats are just wonderful.We will be back.

Great indian place in the heart of soho. Friendly service and great menu. Will be returning!

Perfect negroni. Excellent calamari. Special gentle moussaka Indeed modern Greek

I booked a table for 15 people 3 weeks before the date for a Christmas get-together, and went there in person to speak with the staff and see the place: it looked cheap and sad, but I went on a early afternoon so I thought they were still setting up. When the day arrived I even called again to ensure everything was ok with our booking, since we were a large group. When we arrived at 8pm on a Saturday, the place was still sad, our table was not ready and other people were sitting there in the middle of their dinners, so we had to wait outside in the cold despite we were on time. Then we had to wait for them to move the tables around and decide how they were going to set us up. When we finally ordered, we discovered that they “ran out” of several things on the menu, despite the place was practically empty, and they knew very well we were coming. We asked for water and they didn’t bring a bottle or a jug, just a bit of water in tiny glasses. We went to the toilet and it was dirty, unkept, with long-term dust and dirt all around as if it hadn’t been cleaned in months. They took ages to serve the food, which was poor quality and very disappointing for a grill house: the hamburgers are small, the meat is dry, and stay away from the chicken soup because it is hospital-grade food. They didn’t bring cutlery to everyone so some people had to eat their hamburger with bare hands, and those lucky enough to receive cutlery had it thrown on the table without even a napkin. The place was CHILLING COLD, halfway through the meal we all had our coats back on. We complained but they answered there was nothing they could do because the heating was “already at max”. I was so embarrassed and mortified for having brought my guests to such a dive, I apologised over and over again. I don’t know how they got the good reviews they have, this place is awful and it’s not worth the money, avoid at all costs.

If you love Turkish food, this is the right place for you! We had Babaganoush, Artichoke, Cacik and Lamb Shish Kofte and all these dishes were amazing. I do want to compliment them on the service. We will be back.

Our family of three had two halloumi and one chicken souvlaki all with fries. They were delicious! Love the mayo used. Highly recommended.
