“ The food was tasteful, especially the hummus, tzatziki and moussaka. The ambiance and the service were very nice as well. ”
“ Hello - I just wanted to thank Panos and the rest of the staff for our evening yesterday. We are an autistic majority company and you all bent over backwards to ensure we had fun. There were several discussions and accommodations made before and during the meal which really helped. Turning off the music - menu suggestions and placing us in the quietest -part of the restaurant. Also - allowing us to set up with props (as it was a treasure hunt), and the speed of service which allowed us to leave safely before the football crowds. Thank you so much! We really appreciated all of your help. ”
“ The name of this restaurant says it all... real Greek authentic food! Delicious, fresh food that is full of flavor! Highly recommend as the dining area is beautifully decorated! ”
“ The owner/manager and staff were quick and pleasant. The food was delicious (even chicken - which is usually too dry). Clean and friendly and they even let me son who has a ton of allergies eat his own foods ”
“ We stopped by for dinner and this place was great! We ordered multiple items to share and everything was delicious. This place has a cozy ambiance and prompt service. Menu items are reasonably priced considering the location. It's worth the trip if you're visiting London - I do recommend. ”
“ Nice location We had recently eaten and were just taking a walk along the river when we saw The Real Greek, with very low prices listed on their menu. Right away we knew these would be small plates like tapas, or what they refer to as meze. We decided we could handle a few small plates and stopped in. We were greeted and seated and given menus. From that, we selected 5 dishes, my three were a Greek Salad, Loukaniko, a skewered meat item, and their highlighted Moussaka. The food was brought over quicker than I expected, which was nice. As for the Greek salad, it was items you would put on a bed of lettuce, but no lettuce. There were lots of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, some onion, and a few olives. A delicious square of Feti cheese sat on top. There was not much if any dressing. As for the Loukaniko, it was small of course, the meat pieces were thick slices of meat in a casing, like pieces of hot dogs. I was expecting separate meat pieces and not whatever was blended together and packed. It could have been hot dog for all I know. As for the Moussaka, that was fine, and it was a pretty large square. While we weren't blown away by the food, we were by the location. As tourists, we found The Real Greek to be a very convenient place to just step in and relax, enjoy as much food as we want, and step back out to continue our lovely walk along the river. ”
“ Wonderful spot in heart of London right next to Tower of London. They sat us right away. The food was fresh and tasty! Highly recommend the hubby's and lamb/chicken skewers. ”
