The best restaurants serving Greek food in City Centre Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Beautiful setting in the heart of wonderful Edinburgh. The welcome and attention from staff was exceptional and made our evening. Helena in particular was first class. We sampled mousaka, spanakopita and aubergine iman and all were exceptional. A truly wonderful Greek cuisine experience. Thank you to all concerned. We shall be back.

This was so good. A huge portion that tasted as good as it looked. The staff were so friendly and helpful, happy to spend time chatting over the various cakes etc. Such a great experience

Greek lovers, we visited as a party of 6. Lovely welcome, beautiful decor, nice touches when the chef (Kostas) came over to say hello, wish me happy birthday and explain his philosophy for Kuzina. Nice touch, toasted bread with Cretan salt and olive oil. A big selection of wines, from reasonable up. Small menu, but that’s a good thing as it usually means everything is fresh - it is. Starters were good, grilled, charred artichokes with grated cheese and almond paste especially good. The spanakopita tartlet was on the small side, even for a starter. Excellent service, main giouvetsi was de-constructed, lovely large tasty lamb and gravy, but ordinary rice rather than orzo. Cod was beautifully cooked on a bed of spinach, but the very tasty meatballs could’ve done with rice or pasta, even garlic bread as the portion was small and pricey. A birthday candle in my dessert, nice touch. Lots to enjoy, just a few tweaks to the menu and portions would make this even better. Gia mmas and Exaristo poli!

Excellent food and friendly staff. Portion size as you would expect from a proper Greek restaurant(huge). This place isn’t posh but but it’s great food and the owner is a proper character. Thank you for a lovely meal

Such a treat, walked past and our noses pulled us back, Super friendly service, amazing selection and out of this world pastries with authentic Greek coffee! All the clientele were Greek, sat out on the street and had the best time. Fully recommend, grab the banana and chocolate croissant and you will be transcended!

DO NOT WALK PAST THIS PLACE WITHOUT GOING IN!!!!! What a cracking little taproom. Light, airy, spotless and good old fashioned table service to boot. Love a wee cider on a night out and I got sold on the 3 flights of cider. All very different, but all bloody lovely. I had original apple, pineapple and cherry sour. Picking a favourite was tough but I think the Pineapple one edged it for me, which is very strange as I'm not a massive fan of sweet drinks but this one absolutely hit the spot. Apologies as I never got the young man's name but he had sacrificed time away to help out the family, not all hero's wear capes. The banter was brilliant. Already recommended this wee place onto our kids at uni, who are massive cider drinkers. We will definitely be back. Who knew you could do so much with cider.......

Hearty and colorful brunch. Great service

Staying in the St James Quarter and looking for a slightly lighter evening meal option, and with fond culinary memories of Crete earlier in the year we decided to give the Real Greek a go. Overall very enjoyable, with friendly and relaxed service, and a food range of Meze options. The standout was desert however - perhaps something to indulge in sparingly given its calorie count. The Greek filo custard pie was a real indulgence that anyone with a vaguely sweet-tooth should try.
