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
I’ve been here with my family for a quick lunch and let me say what a nice surprise!!!! Super friendly and very fast service, amazing value for and extremely good quality food. The Aperol spritz as a Venetian top notch.

Incredibly friendly and kind staff, amazing service, great atmosphere. It's not as expensive as it looks from the outside. There’s several vegan options. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed as a rule, but negotiable.

Was served by the very friendly and kind Sunny. He had great suggestions and made sure my friends and I had a splendid evening. The food was excellent as usual! The grilled chicken in tzatziki was to die for.
We used our Unidays student discount which is a great offer on weekdays. Can’t wait to be back on a sunny day!
A chain of Greek restaurants that are consistently good. Tapas style, so plan to order a few plates per person. Overall, the food was tasty and a good value. It's definitely worth the stop.
Another visit to the Globe means another Real Greek meal after the performance. Great food, reasonable £prices, excellent service, and great views of London from our covered table on the embankment. Enjoy.
Loved their Halloumi popcorn! Food was delicious. Some halal options as well. The serving is a little small for the price.
Food was really nice, regret not ordering more :((
Drinks were great and food came fast, we popped in to avoid rain (& because starving). Tzatziki was delicious. Really nice view too!
Every time I am in London, I come to this place. The food is amazing and fresh, and the service is always nice, smiling, and welcoming.

Best Greek food in town, hands down. Have visited on many occasions and never disappoints.
We are quite picky eaters as we had weight loss surgery but the fact that you can order smaller dishes to share is perfect.
All the food is fresh and absolutely delicious.
Our server was friendly fun and knowledgeable about the food and gave us great recommendations.
The fact that you can have a lovely meal with beautiful views of the river is just a bonus. Highly recommend
Have been here a few times and it's always good, it wasn't really busy tonight when we were here at 9pm compared to the past. And there used to be live music which was really fun. Food was lovely, and the service was great from all the waters, especially Angelica!
Thank you The Real Greek for your outstanding customer care.
This was my first experience with The Real Greek restaurant and was absolutely amazing! .
While shopping on borough market I popped into this restaurant, sat behind the bar and was immediately noticed by one of the restaurant representative, proposed drink, good wine and dishes.
Karolina and Janusz were so professional and caring, understanding Customer’s needs to make my visit in this restaurant so pleasant and worth spending money on!
Because of the professional service experience I have visited other chain restaurants while exploring London.
Thank you!
great value for money especially when using student discount. nice interior and great location. good to go for a quick and easy dinner
So, I stumbled upon this Greek restaurant in London, and let me tell you, it's a total game-changer! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was spot on, reminiscent of a charming taverna I once visited in Santorini. The menu? A delightful journey of Greek classics. The moussaka was a standout – rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of creamy.
But what truly made the night for me was the staff. Their warmth and genuine hospitality felt like a big, welcoming Greek hug. They were attentive, offered great recommendations, and genuinely seemed to care about every diner's experience.
Honestly, I've tried many places in the city, but this one takes the crown. If you're in London and have a hankering for some top-tier Greek cuisine in a laid-back setting, this is your spot. Can't stress enough how awesome it was, and I'm already looking forward to my next meal there!
Atmosphere, surroundings, team, service and food were perfect. Could not be faulted. A perfect lunch!
