    Very welcoming atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. A good place to catch up with a friend or unwind (or escape from the cold!).

    Wonderfully delicious, fresh, and decently priced food with good service. If you live in the area you have to stop by.

    The Real Greek - Westfield Stratford City - Grilled Kalamari with Pourgouri

    My partner and I came here while visiting the Westfield Mall in Stratford, and while we didn't make…read morea reservation, we didn't feel welcomed or politely greeted by the man who seated us (All he asked was did we have a reservation and that was it). Another thing we noticed was our server, whose name I believe was Eddie. We felt he had a very cold demeanor towards us, and his service with us felt uncared for. One thing that stood out to us was when we asked for some tap water for our drinks, and he set it on our table in a rushed way that felt as if he slammed it or set it aggressively (probably mistakenly but impolitely from our perspective as customers). Not to mention we noticed he didn't check up on us to see if everything was good with our food/order. All in all, we understand that during rush hours it might be taking a lot out of the servers/waiters to satisfy each and every customer in the restaurant, but the food wasn't worth the service we felt we had received, and we were disappointed. Honestly, we wouldn't recommend anyone else to come here either.

    Once again I find myself in Westfields Stratford. As an East Londoner, the thought of trekking…read moreinto Oxford treat or any area west of Liverpool Street station in general is a mission. So if I fancy topping up on some clothes, toiletries, or some recently discovered lovely home ware from H&M, then Westfield is my spot. Of course when visiting, whilst you may plan for it to be an in/out affair, it seldom is the case. All of the big windows with enticing items on display beckon your attention. Don't get me wrong I am not an impulsive shopper, I buy only what I need, but having a browse is something I am comfortable with. I guess it also makes it bearable because the place is not mad busy. You can move around with reasonable ease. For this particular recent trip, it was time to try our The Real Greek outside on the terrace. I have run out of options here having done Busaba Eathai and Bumpkin. The Real Greek is a simple food concept. Sharing stuff on tiered plate racks. Yep, mostly that's it. I don't mean to sound dismissive, in fact, I like the simplicity of how you select what you want and how its delivered. You have the option of choosing lots of plates to share from the cold, hot and grilled meze or they cut down the process of choosing in half by offering you the "Perfect for Sharing" options for two. We opted for this at £35. 25 with 8 meze items. All good groups are covered with your carb's, meats, fish and veg. A great selection. We opted for greek flatbread, houmous, green bean fava, prawns with feta, lamb kofte, dukkah chicken wings, falafel and saffron rice. The alternatives you could choose were just as good. On arrival we were kindly given a booth for four (there were only two of us). This is normally a no no for restaurants, but they were so friendly and accommodating. Great service. My reasoning for this table was because it was at the end of the room so I could get a better view and pics for the blog without elbowing or disturbing fellow diners. The "Perfect for Sharing" selection was curated by Tonia Buxton, the face of Greek Food in the UK, who is now apparently an ambassador for The Real Greek. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience following a less than satisfactory visit to the Covent Garden spot. I guess sometimes things need a second chance. I am delighted I was so forgiving, as this is quick, easy and tasting food.

    Food here is good. Reminds me a lot of the mediterranean food concessions in American malls…read more 'Fancy' kebab served on a paper plate. Gets busy and there's a bit of a wait if you ordered grilled food. Prices are OK. Fair compared to the stuff upstairs but more expensive than its nearest neighbours. I ordered a mixed gyros platter with a fanta. Sent the order off, waited 10 minutes, then the guy called me over and said "I don't have mixed is chicken OK?" Not a big deal to me except for the fact that he was pointing at the plate of chicken gyros as he was asking me if it was OK. I mean... could I say no at that point? Seems a moot point to ask. If I had been warned about it beforehand, and knowing that I had to wait 10 minutes anyway, I would have ordered mix souvlaki or something. He also got my drink wrong (got a coke instead of a fanta.) Didn't give me utensils or napkins. Meh. All in all not terrible. Might come back if I'm in the mood for this kind of food but there's a lot of choice in the mall so we'll see.

I actually frequent this place quite a lot when I'm one of my shopping missions, which I feel over the next month will be quite a lot (ahh Christmas!). So, it's always good to know that I have a good go to when I'm having a stressful shopping experience and I just need an energy boost! Tonight I chose the mixed grill souvlaki (pork, chicken and lamb) with rice, pitta, Greek salad and a side of tzatziki. The rice was rather bland but that's the only negative thing I can say really. The three meats were tasty and were cooked right in front of me (fresh fresh fresh) - the lamb kebab in particular was packed full of flavour! I also love their pitta bread dipped in that creamy tzatziki. Happy and full up :)

We spotted the…read moreHidden Cave & Garden Restaurant because it looks really welcoming and certainly stands out from the establishments around it. I had the Hidden Cave Pasta which was a creamy pesto sauce with cherry tomatoes and haloumi. It was delicious. My partner had the Sautéed Mixed Seafood which was a very large plate of calamari, mussels prawns and salmon, served with vegetables and rice with a white wine, garlic and lemon juice sauce. In his own words, it was "outstanding". Our friends shared a selection of meze platters and starters which seemed to have very generous portions. The service was really good and both the waitress and manager helpful, efficient and fast. We were impressed with the prices (most main courses n the £7 to £12 range) and although we live nowhere near the area, we'd consider travelling back just for this restaurant. We were surprised to find that the restaurant is only newly opened and only discovered this when we tried to check in and couldn't find it. They seem to be off to a great start, with many tables filled and none of the teething problems you might expect from a newly opened place. The final touch on our meal was a complimentary vodka and blackcurrant cocktail. A lovely touch to a fabulous evening.

The sucuk and halloumi panino wasn't outstanding but for £3 I was completed satisfied! The server was also so sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend this for lunch in the area. They have outdoor seating and lots of space inside so it's good for groups too. There are several extensive menus so if you're feeling indecisive leave some extra time!

    Hungry Donkey definitely satisfied our desire for some Greek food the other night. The menu had all…read morethe highlights we were looking for though was a bit pricier than we might've hoped. Best way to approach the menu is to order a handful of meze, don't go for the large plated options as they're definitely the priciest and limits the ability to try different things. We started with saganaki, a classic but oh so good. This was the best dish we ordered. Tasty, not overly oily, crispy outer crust. We also had the pork sausage and lamb plate. The pork sausage was ok but honestly nothing special. It came with standard yellow mustard. The lamb plate was ok as well, similarly nothing all that special. The lamb was rather fatty and the flavor was good but it just needed more of the seasoning. The little side salad that it came with was not worth eating, it was quite bitter. Neither was bad, just not worth getting again. Might try again, but would order more small plates and more saganaki.

    Don't be fooled by the sketchy neighborhood this place is nice. My hubby made reservations, but…read morewhen we walked in (around 630 PM) we were the first ones there. The staff greeted us and we picked our spot. The place is done up pretty nicely and is very clean. I ordered the beef kabob plate and hubby ordered some stewed beef on top on fries plate. We were both happy with our meals and our service. By the time we were done a few more tables filled up, but given how nice, good, and clean it was I'd except more people to be in there. Give them a try, I'm sure you will enjoy their Greek meals.
