I went into the branch next to Tower Bridge after a 3 hour tour and was dying for a coffee and something to eat. The waitress got me seated and then disappeared, not even asking me if I wanted a drink while I was looking at the Menu, if that is what you can call it, no Stiffado, no Kleftico, no Dolmades. What was on offer was snack food. After I finally got the waitress’s attention, once she had got rid of a takeaway, I settled for chicken souvlaki’s which did not automatically come with fries or rice, I had to order chips as a side order.
The coffee came up barely warm and when to souvlakis came up, they were the smallest I have seen and were just about cooked.
I rated this restaurant 1 star as there was not a minus.
Please don’t give them your patronage, I don’t mind what I pay as long as the food and service is good, this clearly sadly was not the case.

First time we've tried the Real Greek, was recommended by a colleague at work and we visited the Bluewater restaurant after a horrible experience with Sky TV and we were really impressed.

Food was great, service was great, very happy across the board and we will definitely return. A very unpleasant shopping visit was given a much nicer ending.

Thank you.

Absolutely awful! Do not enter this restaurant! SoHo branch

There was hair in the wrap I ordered from the Meadowhall outlet. I've never been more disgusted.

They claim to serve authentic Greek food, but there was absolutely nothing authentic about it - from the food to the staff!! As a Greek person myself, I was disappointed when I went out for a meal with my mum, and we chose to eat at The Real Greek in Norwich. We ordered their moussaka and pastitsio. When the food was brought out to us, we were disappointed to see that it was served on small side plates, not even regular size plates. The pasta and sauce in both dishes was crusty, burnt, and rock hard - perfect if you want to chip a tooth on! Very little of each was actually edible. The mince wasn't broken down. There were nothing but large burnt looking clumps. The whole thing was just off-putting. I'm pretty sure they had just been reheated again and again, yet on their menu, they state under their moussaka - 'Our hearty, traditional beef mince bake with aubergine and potatoes is made in very limited quantities each day. Once they are gone, they’re gone. So make sure you get your order in quick!'. Yeah right, you could have fooled me! We highlighted our complaints to one of the waiters, who then called over the manager. The manager could see that we more than had a point with what we told him. He could clearly see that the quality of the food was poor. He even admitted to us that when the food came out, he had commented to the chef on the tiny size of the serving, to which the chef told him that they weigh each slice, and that's apparently the so-called correct size for a single portion. Even the manager was aware of the poor portion size, and yet he still personally brought it out to us. If you've ever been to Greece, or even to other restaurants here in the UK that also serve moussaka and pastitsio, you get given a very decent and generous size serving. We were literally served measly slivers, and they wanted just under £12.00 for each - for what exactly?! We were then given the choice of choosing something else from their menu, on the house. By this point, we'd had enough, and just opted to have their chicken gyro. Even this was poor! There were hardly any fillings. You really had to look for the tzatziki, because you certainly couldn't taste any of it. I'm not somebody who usually writes to complain, but on this occasion, I felt it was necessary. Bottom line is, if you want proper Greek food, then don't eat at The Real Greek.

I like the atmosphere in there- not too noisy, the food and the coffee are really nice and you won't find friendlier staff

This range is not just unauthentic but inedible, please don’t waste your money

Totally rushed ,went out for a meal with friends ,could have been in and out in well under an hour.We ordered starters half way through the mains arrived .Said we should have been told .Food was ok ,but service very poor will not be returning and we are all locals

Terrible food (Bournemouth branch) would never ever go again, McDonalds is better quality 🙈

Duped into thinking their real Greek hummus was based on genuine ingredients only to find it's made with the cheapest and least healthy of oils - rapeseed instead of olive oil.

I'm giving one star but that is just for the staff, who I feel sorry for. This used to be a good restaurant, excellent value and good food. Since it has been taken over by a private equity firm it has been operated on a maximise profit model that has left it a shell of it's former self. They are just interested in serving the minimal amount of food of the cheapest quality for the maximum price, it's such a shame, especially for the staff who frankly must be embarrassed to serve it.
The last time I went to the Southampton branch I ordered 'Halloumi Skewers' £24. What I got for that was two small pieces of Halloumi, they were on skewers I'll give them that, but nothing else was on the skewers, no veg no nothing, why were they on skewers then!! I also got a teacup sized portion of french fries, 2 small dips and a small flat bread, for £24, are you kidding!!. When the waitress came over to ask if everything was ok she was so embarrassed, I felt so sorry for her. Minutes later she returned and said they'd comp everything. Will not be going back ever. We've since found a lovely greek place on Oxford Street which serves amazing food at reasonable prices, I recommend you go there rather that The Real Thief.

We ordered a takeaway for collection at The Real Greek in Windsor and as always service was friendly and the food was delicious. It’s such a lovely, clean bright restaurant.
I highly recommend trying the Greek orange cake if you want to treat yourself, it doesn’t disappoint. Thank you Jeno for your hospitality and look forward to visiting your 2-4-1 offer in January 10/10

Nice setting throughout when we arrived staff were very pleasant but when the food came the disappointment from all 6 off us was not good at all, portions were so small all served on side plates not a dinner plate to be seen, the chicken scure was pathetic and clearly microwaved, fillow pastry and spinach was a samosa deep fried truly shocking ,infact every thing was a horror story, the worst thing off all was the moussaka from the frozen aisle at farm foooo you know what I mean, so bad I can't even begin to put in to words avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid this food terrible experience

I had the beef stifado, it was the smallest main course I have ever had in my life, I, ve had bigger tapas portions. 3 bite size pieces of beef and 1 shallot onion. I ended up going for fish and chips in another restaurant. I will never go there again in my life. Daylight robbery.

One star only for the taste of the food (Edinburgh Branch)
We tried the moussaka, and neither I nor my four friends recognised it as anything close to the moussaka we know. The topping was a jelly like layer of what was supposed to be cheese, with no flavor and an odd, gelatinous texture instead of a creamy sauce. There was also no noticeable aubergine taste at all.
The Greek salad had barely any cheese, and the chicken skewers lacked both flavor and proper texture.
We were five people from different parts of the world, and unfortunately none of us enjoyed the meal.
On a positive note, the team working there was polite and nice.

Clean fast and with great menu.
I enjoy every time in this restaurant 😌 😋 my best mousaka with extra feta cheese on side or pork gyros .
Next visit slow cooked pork with dates and beef steeeefado .... for whom entrusted uncountable gluten free vegan and vegetarian choices and well played deserts!!! Thank you Adam and Natalia...another great Friday night!!!

Went to The Real Greek Restaurant Liverpool City Centre yesterday. Food was awful.!Ordered 2 Vegetable Moussakas.Arrived on a cold tea plates. Was Square. Looked and tasted like a heavily processed cheap ready meal !Chips were cheap frozen ones,also holummi fries out of a frozen bag ,was a pool of grease in bottom of the bowl.Wine was rank.
I could understand why the restaurant was virtually empty.
The worst restaurant we visited in a long time ! Definitely NOT Real Greek !And disappointed as was a Birthday meal...couldn't have been any worse.
Not even worthy of 1 star.. but unable to put none!Avoid at your peril !!

We didn’t have the best experience here. One of the starters was forgotten, and when my meal was finally brought out, it was accidentally dropped on the floor. My replacement dish arrived after most of the table had already finished eating, and when it was handed to me, I wasn’t warned that the skewer was extremely hot, which resulted in my hand getting burned.

My friend’s food also came out at completely different times, even though it was part of a set meal—by the time the rice arrived, the meat was already cold. I will say that the staff who were serving the food were polite.

When we complained, we were told the issues were due to the restaurant being busy. They offered to remove the service charge (which we wouldn’t have paid given the experience) and take one starter off the bill. However, when I went to the till to pay, the staff member who served me had an attitude, which just added to the disappointment.

Overall, I wouldn’t return.

Lamb that tasted like liver, "greek salad" that was only tomatoes and no dressing, cold chips -- food at the Stratford Real Greek that truly awful. What a waste of money.
