I had never tried Greek food before, but as my wife likes it and it was her birthday, we went to "The Real Greek" at Riverside to have my first experience with this food.
The restaurant looks beautiful, with amazing views from the River Thames, clean, painted in white and blue and with a lot of space.
As soon as we arrived, we were immediately assisted by one of the members of staff who took us to a table from which we could see the river.
It was a little bit difficult to me to choose something from the menu as I didn't know what those dishes were, but thanks to the waiter who assisted us, I must say that my first experience in a Greek restaurant was more than great.
I had a chicken wrap with Greek mustard and a bowl of rice with olive oil and tomato that was delicious. My wife went for cod and chips and fried breaded halloumi with honey and garlic.
For dessert, caramel cheesecake that was also delicious.
In conclusion, a great experience from all points of view. Delicious food, great customer service and a beautiful place.
While I had no problem with the quality or taste of the food, I did have a problem with the prices they were charging for such small portions. The people serving us were charming and well-mannered, but the food did little to satisfy my appetite. Regardless, do not let that stop you from trying yourself.

Greek food is always amazing so I am a fan of the chain but this outlet just doesn’t live up to the chain’s high standards.
Dishes to try for sure:
1. Baked butter beans and spinach (V, GF)
2. Vine leaf rice rolls (V, GF)
3. Orange cake (V)
But what I didn’t like about the outlet-
1. Overpriced for very small portions
2. No set menu on weekends (others have it)
3. Flies and ants on the tables
4. Washroom needed a cleaning
5. Indoor lighting and decor a bit dark
