Not sure about how ‘Real’ it is, but certainly great value, and possibly the best ‘healthy’ options in St. James.
There was about a 10min queue, even thought there were plenty of tables available. Despite this apparent business, our food arrived very quickly, and service was perfectly correct.

Review of The Real Greek
Atmosphere 4.5/5
I was immediately charmed by the atmosphere when I stepped in--the background music was very lovely and uplifting, and the noise level was a warm buzz that adore in a restaurant.
I also like the nautical and Mediterranean decor.

When i had my first
Had dinner on my own here on Thursday night due train cancellations.
I had a friendly welcome and was given a good seat for a single diner.
Service was great, attentive and not overbearing
It was mainly families and young groups in on the Thursday night. There was a good deal of £17pp to share lit
My boyfriend and I got a Groupon voucher with a menu of tapas. Everything was delicious! The waiter was very nice and helped us choose the best options. We really liked the atmosphere of the place as well. Presentation of food is great, piling up the tapas on a rack makes it look so much more intere
We came on a Tuesday evening before the cinema, and the restaurant was quiet. Despite this, the service was still slow and it took around 20 minutes from ordering a bottle of wine to it arriving at our table (including reminding a server we’d ordered it!). Wouldn’t

While exploring Edinburgh, we discovered this huge shopping centre called St. James's Quarter. There, on the top floor, we found a gem for all Greek food lovers - The Real Greek. The food is authentic and made with love. Just look at the picture :) You can choose from a variety of dishes, and the pr
It Is a very lovely place on the top floor of the shopping centre, upon entering you immerse yourself in a completely different atmosphere from the chaos of the city.
The menu is excellent, genuine traditional Mediterranean dishes and as an Italian I was very surprised to have found such a place in
The service was amazing 😍 the food was just as good, I will say that the feta cheese wasn't that good, it was a little thin for my liking.
Outstanding place , the food is really good. And as a person that was raised in Greece and is forced to travel frequently. I can see that it was great blast from past to feel a bit from home. The waiters and waitresses were really awesome and super helpful with the everything.
Can definitely recommend The Real Greek. While located in a mall, the atmosphere is really nice. Food is great. They have really good Greek wines, ouzo and beer, which is not always the case from our experience. And the staff are super nice. Worth a visit!
Good Greek food, not expensive at all especially considering it's really central.
Quick service, with lunch options untill 1700 (great for a late lunch).
Quite well served wrap with a large salad and a beer.
This was to be another of our Groupon Voucher lunches. Booked for 4:00 p.m., we had Covid jabs at 1:30 & 2:30, but having arrived at 1:00 we were both done by 1:15!
So after a wander thro’ the St James Centre, I nipped in at 2:00 and explained that we were a bit early, (2 Hours!) could we eat now? T
Staff very welcoming and accommodating. Always willing to help and checking if we needed anything else. Food tastes amazing and fresh. Will definitely be back. Ben very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
Good greek food and value for money especially the groupon voucher and set menu deals. Lovely ambience in St James's in Edinburgh.The portion sizes are great , staff friendly although they seemed to forget about our dessert. All in all good Greek food and would be going again !
