It is filling and gives the right amount of food at a decent price point. I ordered: Starters: Hummus - Tasted really fresh. It paired well with the pita bread. Tzatziki - Really delicious yogurt with cucumbers, olive oil and hints of garlic. This tasted great with the main course. Main Course: Chicken Kebab w/ Rice & small salad - With the combination of the hummus & yogurt, this dish hit the spot. Everything was fresh and appetizing and for the most part healthy. I'd definitely get a lunch special from here again!

They have the menu up on the board as well as a QR code, you can order at the register as well as online which I found very convenient if you don't want your server to keep coming to check on you for when you're ready. I ordered a gyro and a Greek salad on the side, not only were the portions generous, but it was so delish, the salad had plenty of dressing and plenty of everything, the gyro was hard to grab from how full it was (a very good problem to have if you ask me) and very affordable which I was surprised. For drinks, they did have beer and wine as well as some juiced and coke products, one thing though, they didn't have ice, not just that day but in general, maybe a Greek think? Not sure but be mindful of that, luckily my soda was already cold lol. The place is like a cross between a regular restaurant and a fast food place, where you can comfortably sit and your food comes out fairly quickly, I recommend this place to all my friends, and can't wait to go back again!

The family and I were vacationing in South Kensington and ordered with medium expectations. Everything was exceptional/fantastic. The food portions/value for the cost is awesome.

My personal favorite is the Chicken Taouk (sometimes called Chicken Shish depending on what menu you're looking at). Incredible value. We'll absolutely be ordering here again in the future. Great stuff!!!

It's best to come with mates so you can try more things, because it's really, really good. I had the cheese croquettes this time and really, I could have them with every meal. Cheesy and tasty and crispy on the outside and not greasy - delish. I'm also a big fan of their chips with oregano and feta. They really load them up with cheese, and an order was more than the two of us could eat (your mileage may vary!) I didn't get anything else this time, but I've also had a halloumi souvlaki in the past and it's really, really good too. Messy and filling! They put on a unique mustardy sauce that really works, and they put chips in the wrap, too. It's an embarrassment of riches to be honest. The only downside here is that there isn't much seating, so if you can take away that's better. Or just elbow your way into a table and get on with it. It's worth it.

FOOD: The Hungry Donkey takes Greek food to the next level. All the dishes are super savory. There are a ton of options for everyone, including veggies/vegans/GF. Great for ordering a bunch of small dishes for sharing or a few large ones if you like your own dish. If you are into wines, they have a quality selection of Greek origins which are incredible. AMBIANCE: the perfect combination of casual, nice, and fun. Sometimes they even have a live band playing greek music, which sets the perfect mood - be it romantic or fun! SERVICE: Excellent and always on point. The food arrives very quickly and the staff is friendly. I've even had a chance to meet the owner, who is super nice and attentive to the smallest details. PRICE: Just right HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.

I prefer the service when eating in, as I found on the take away side you get much smaller portions and definitely a less friends service. The food is delicious and I have never had a meal I didn't enjoy, I especially love the iskendar and adana kebabs and the Turkish pizzas lahmacun...yummy. My sister and I used to get starters to share but we could never finish all the food especially all the fresh bread. The prices are average and well worth the money especially when you eat in.
