Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The lamb meatballs are a crowd favorite, praised for their rich flavor and perfect seasoning. Diners can't get enough of the warm Greek flatbread, an ideal companion for the array of dips offered.
The service stands out too. Many reviews mention the attentive staff, who check in without being overbearing, allowing guests to savor their meals at their pace. The casual and cozy atmosphere is frequently admired, making it a perfect spot for groups and families.
Desserts also receive plenty of limelight, especially the Greek sweets served at the end of meals, which leave a sweet impression.
Most Disliked
While The Real Greek is a favorite, some diners note that the busy atmosphere can feel overwhelming, particularly during peak hours. It’s important to plan your visit accordingly if you prefer a quieter backdrop.
A few patrons mentioned that certain popular dishes may run out during busy periods, leading to disappointment. Making reservations can alleviate this issue, but it's wise to arrive early during peak times to secure your favorites.
Additionally, the price point, while reasonable, can be a concern for those expecting a more budget-friendly dining experience, especially if ordering several small plates.

Me and my boyfriend came here to try out new food and have to say we couldn’t stop complimenting the whole experience!! The food was cooked to perfection, the staff were polite and kept on checking up on us, we wished we lived closer so we can come more often, but well worth the journey. Definitely will be coming again soon Many thanks to the staff tonight for making it special

Reading the descriptions of items on the menu made us feel the food would just be alright. But when it arrived it was so delicious we ate the entire starter before we even recognised it had been set in front of us. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, without being even the slightest bit overbearing. We really felt as if we were able to enjoy the meal completely at our own pace, especially because when we needed something it was enough to give any of the waitstaff a look and they would come over immediately. A really nice atmosphere and really convenient location, which alongside the delicious food made for a wondeful and relaxing evening.
