About The Real Greek Manchester

The Real Greek Manchester serves Greek cuisine from a spot in the Corn Exchange food hall, with a menu of updated classic dishes alongside ouzo and Greek wines. Moussaka and halloumi fries appear on the menu, and souvlaki wraps and box meals let diners choose their own protein, sides and dips. Gluten free options, including gluten free flat bread, are available, and a kids' menu suits families with young children. A weekday lunch set menu adds a dessert and drink to the meal. Drinks range from a Greek Island Iced Tea to an Aperol Spritz or a glass of Prosecco. The step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and the restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended. Takeaway and delivery are available for those eating off site, and a 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary

The moussaka draws the most consistent praise, with several diners calling it among the best they've had, layered and balanced in execution. Close behind, the souvlaki box meal deal and halloumi fries earn approval, and the pistachio ice cream gets singled out as creamy and not overly sweet. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff explaining vouchers, checking on service charge before payment, and in one case offering a free brownie. The recurring complaint is portion size versus price: reviewers describe the chicken souvlaki wrap as child sized and dry for eleven pounds, a thirty pound set meal that left one diner hungry, and a menu some call limited with lamb dishes crossed out, leading one reviewer to call it not really authentic and unlikely to return. Others note the space can get loud due to echo in the food hall setting. Several mention gluten free options, including gluten free flatbread, being clearly marked and appreciated.

    “Don’t offer ‘Buy One Get One Free’ on Deliveroo if your portions are going to be half the normal size. …”
  • Diana Haffar
    “The restaurant location is perfect as it is in the center of the city among the buzz of beautiful Manchester. The food is quite delicious with good variety. The service was fast and the general atmosphere is quite friendly. Thank you Liza and Olga for such a great service.”
  • Helen Millington
    “Beautiful food and a lovely experience. On this glorious, sunny day, it felt like a step into Greece. A varied menu, good vegan options, and the serving staff were all welcoming, friendly and informative! Special mention to Alexia, Alex, and Olga. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming again. Double servings of pistachio ice cream was thoroughly enjoyed by the rest of my party! They both said it was the nicest they've had, very creamy and not overly sweet. We all enjoyed a drink of Mythos to amplify the authenticity 🍻”
