Quick info
About Mr Greek Giro
Mixed grill sharing platters anchor the menu at Mr Greek Giro, a small Greek restaurant on Bearwood Road in Smethwick. The platters come sized for two or for four, and groups of three or more often split one between them and box up the leftovers to take home. Gyros run alongside, with pork and chicken among the regular orders. Booking ahead is recommended, though walk-ins are seated too, and tables can be pushed together to take in larger groups. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seats give diners the option of eating in the open air. The kitchen runs daily. No car park comes with the restaurant, so drivers use kerbside parking on the surrounding streets.

Customer Review Summary
The sharing platters dominate what reviewers talk about here, with the Ultimate Greek Mixed Grill Platter for Two singled out repeatedly as enormous, one group of three splitting it and another table still leaving food behind. Gyros come close behind, with pork and chicken versions described as fresh and full of flavour, and diners also name the halloumi for its texture, the Musaca, the Ultimate Greek sandwich and a salad called crunchy and fresh. Drinks draw their own mentions: Alfa beer, a refreshing Albanian lemon beverage, and a coffee one visitor rates the best they have had in the UK. Several highlight generous portions at prices they call reasonable, and food arriving hot and quickly without feeling rushed. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, including a team that rearranged tables so a party of seven could sit together. One reviewer wishes for better parking nearby. Another remembers being handed a box for the leftovers.

“The service was 10/10 the food came in 10 minutes and it was hot. I would go again, only wish that there is good parking around the area.”

“We had pork and chicken gyros here, and everything was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the atmosphere was really nice and welcoming. The lady who served us was so kind and friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat — highly recommend!”

“Absolutely love this place. It’s our new go to late night bite. The halloumi is delicious, great texture and fresh. The salad is super duper fresh and crunchy. Staff are lovely and attend you to quickly. The meal comes out so quick and it’s absolutely delicious. Very decently priced too!! We will be coming here often!!”

“We stopped by Mr Greek Giro for lunch and had The Ultimate Greek Mixed Grill Platter for Two—it was absolutely massive and incredibly delicious! Hands down, some of the best Greek food we've had in Birmingham. We also enjoyed Alfa beer and finished with a coffee that honestly might be the best I’ve ever had in the UK. The service was just as impressive—Larisa and Sara were welcoming and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!!!”
- Jamie Hadley
“Amazing food, super friendly establishment, lovely and clean and cool inside. Mix grill is to die for, can not fault this place from the price to the food to the service outstanding everytime. Very welcoming, this is now my go to greek even with a 20min drive well worth a try. Keep up the good work.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
