  “service and food was impeccable. we were greeted by Gerry, a cheery and quick witted server who admitted it was his first day but that did not hinder the perfect service he provided. next came a lovely Black server (whose name I unfortunately did not catch) who was accommodating to our tea requests and paid attention to detail! the sea bream, octopus, prawns and dolmades were all fresh and light. their orange cake was a hit with our party and their brownie was delicious too. lastly, Natalia was generous enough to have our dessert on the house even though we never had any problem and we had a great chat with her. the kind and witty staff was truly the highlight of the meal. cannot recommend this place enough!!!”

  “Nice food. We went for the mixed plate. Al was perfect. Tables a bit on the small side because you get a lot of food 😌”

  “We went there to eat with a group of five - without a reservation. We were greeted warmly and got a table very quick. The service was great, the food delicious, and the atmosphere was great too. What I personally really liked was the "sharing" concept. I would definitely come back 😊”

  “When we arrived we were greeted by Sreeja, we were seated and told straight away the kitchen would be closing in 30 minites. We were very hungry and ordered straight away. Sreeja was very obliging and saw we were very well looked after. The other members of staff were also brilliant. We have visited this restaurant many times and Sreeja recognised us. The service, the food, in fact everything was fantastic as always. We will definitely be back and hope to see Sreeja next time we visit, she is so good at her job and nothing was too much trouble.”

  “Toilet smelt so bad whilst we were eating our food. Service was fast but they didn’t really speak to us. We had a birthday in our group and they didn’t ask about it, but it was put on the booking notes. Overall food was lovely. But I just wish it was abit more like “can I get you some more drinks” since the crafte of sangria was so small. Very neglected.”

  “I stopped by The Real Greek in Covent Garden during the pre-theatre rush, and the staff truly deserve credit. It was बेहद busy, but they handled everything impressively—getting us seated quickly, taking orders efficiently, and making sure food arrived in good time. You can tell they’re used to the “theatre o’clock” pressure, and they did everything they could to keep things moving smoothly. That said, the food was a real disappointment. It felt like standard chain restaurant fare—nothing particularly fresh or flavourful, and not quite the quality you’d hope for. It’s a shame, especially when you’re relying on a quick meal before a show and options nearby are limited or fully booked. Overall, excellent service in a pinch, but the food doesn’t quite live up to expectations. Sorry!”

  “In all honesty, the waiters and waitresses made the atmosphere and the experience enjoyable! One of the best branches I have been too! A huge part of this is credited to my server Keren, who was attentive, welcoming, kind and patient! The food is incredible for a really fair price.”

  “An absolutely amazing experience at The Real Greek. Everything was incredibly delicious — the octopus was outstanding, and the salad and dolma were just as impressive. Exceptional quality at very reasonable prices. The service was top-class. Georgina and Vasiliki were wonderful — warm, attentive and truly professional, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back again and again. Highly recommended!”

  “A well run restaurant with good food and reasonable service. We were a group of four who had an early dinner before the theatre, and booked based on the reviews. Were we happy to have dined here? Yes. Did it actually merit being rated in the top 1% of London restaurants? Hmmm. Food was well presented and generally tasty, but stayed within the lines with regard to innovation. Service was good but not seamless. Had TripAdvisor offered a 4.5 rating option we would have selected that, but since a “4” more adequately reflected our experience than a “5” that’s what we score it.”
