The Real Greek

I would like to point out before any comments are written or low rating given strictly on the basis of the fact that this review is about a different restaurant location that after 3 weeks or so of trying it has not been added as a seperate location, so aplogies to those that want to give accurate reviews on the specific location - whether this is because of the size of the database I don't know, but this review is for The Real Greek at Marylebone! In early August my partner (Sue) and I visited London for a hectic bit of sight seeing without our kids, that despite being given the opportunity preferred to stay with other family members.

It was my birthday recently and I had the fun task of selecting a restaurant to hold my celebrations at. It had to be central London as my friends are spread out of over the metropolis, it had to be wheelchair friendly and it had to be fairly vegetarian friendly, as I'm a fish eater an a lot of my friends are Kosher keeping Jews so a steak house was certainly out of the question. I had pizza last year so pizza and Italian were off the menu so in the end I plumped for somewhere I had eaten at a few times before and liked it. The restaurant in question for my birthday meal was the Real Greek at Bankside by the river Thames. The real Greek is a mini chain of surprise ...  Read the complete review

THE REAL GREEK - COVENT GARDEN 61-62 Long Acre, London WC2E 9JE We went here for a meal while on a weekend break in london. We were really surprised with the quaint layout as its a small venue in an old pub on a corner. The seating is quite high but was comfortable once i had got up there! This seating arrangement gives it a really intimate setting and because the numers are limited it doesnt get rowdy or anything like that. The staff were friendly and our waiter very helpful and knowledgable. My husband has Coeliacs so cannot eat gluten and they were great advising suitability of dishes. The food came on sort of high rack plate design, like a ...  Read the complete review

This is a brilliant place for groups, I went in a group of 11, we all had a round of drinks, quite a few starters (averaged to about 3 starters between 2) and a main course each, oh and a couple of desserts & a couple of greek coffees (these take about 10/15 mins to brew and not very yummy!). Our bill came to...wait for it.....$14.50 a head!!! The food was really tasty, definately worth the money, the portions are fair for what you pay for and there is a brilliant selection on the menu for veggies....there were 4 veggies in our group and they were very happy! The staff are friendly and helpful, the service was not the best service ever but it ...  Read the complete review

No, I haven't been in the sun too long, and I've never had a holiday fling that's left me with a rosy view of the cuisine, and yet I'm about to rave about a Greek restaurant. Yes, that's right, a Greek restaurant serving fantastic Greek food. Up until I set foot in 'The Real Greek', I didn't know that the words 'fantastic', 'Greek' and 'food' could all be used in that order in the same sentence, but this little gastronomic miracle exists, right here in Britain. I even went back a second time to check that it wasn't a weird 'Brigadoon' type experience. The restaurant was still there, and the ...  Read the complete review
