The Real Greek Covent Garden

Absolutely loved the food!! Great atmosphere! Best prices for food and drinks too. We had Giannis as our waiter and he was so lovely and provided us the best service!

Giannuis !! Has the best customer service I mentioned it was my sister’s birthday and he made sure to make it special ! THANK YOU … you were so nice to us and we had a good time !

Stopped here for lunch on our trip to London. Was not crowded and prices and service was very good. Had the beef kabab plate with rice and tzatziki. The meal was very good. if you are looking for a place to have a quick very good reasonably priced meal this is your place. View menu

Absolutely excellent food and service. I sat in the window and had a leisurely pre-theatre lunch and cocktail. As a solo diner I'm usually hidden somewhere near the kitchen and either ignored or rushed. I was well taken care of and had the most relaxing and delicious lunch.

Not good. Portions very small, which is good because the food was tasteless. Falafel was dried out. Next door at koshari, an Egyptian street food place, we found some of the best falafel anywhere. Flavorful, just the right moist and fresh consistency, a falafel winner. Greek should learn how to make it right from Egyptians.

What a great place. We were walking around London the night before our flight out and was walking to a restaurant when we passed this one. Always open for Greek I convinced my associate to try it and I was glad I did! We had several items including Dolmades, fries, Greek Salad, Pork Souvlaki wraps Beef and Pork Sausage, bread and potatoes. Everything was outstanding! Nothing better than a great Greek meal at the end of a long journey! View menu

The cocktails were a mistake. Had I known I would be served cough syrup diluted with water, I'd just order beer or brought my own bottle of Benylin. Two different cocktails, both tasted as if prepared by a middle schooler. Disgrace. The chicken was mediocre, dry, and just lacking any flavor. Eat here if you're really hungry, are not Greek, and have never been to Greece. Drink here if you feel nostalgic for the watered-down cocktails at the student bar.

The Real Greek has improved substantially since I visited a few years ago. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure this isn't even close to real Greek food, but it is good for what it is. Gigantes are delicious. Hummus is good. Lemon potatoes are not good, don't order this. Chicken skewer is good (per my daughter). Grape leaves are pretty good but not authentic in the least. Greek salad is fresh and tasty. Food comes out quickly but servers are overworked and not super attentive. Overall this is a great casual chain. We'll definitely return.

Made a last minute reservation here for dinner before seeing Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales theater. On the walk over, we almost dropped into a nice looking sushi bar, and I'm SO glad we didn't. From the excellent service to the ambience to the FABULOUS food, it was a win all the way. The only problem was that the food was so good that I left quite full! We ordered Tonia's Filoxenia to share (only £36 for two) and our selections were the flatbread with spicy feta and terramasalata chickpeas and the lamb meatballs, lamb Kefte, chicken wings, haloumi skewers. It was all absolutely delicious, with special mention of the chicken wings. I would never normally order chcken wings, but they w... View menu
