The Real Greek (Marylebone)

Ate here with a friend last week and really enjoyed the food. The mezze come served on three tier type cake stands which means you have room on the tables to move- an ingenious idea! The hummus and tsatsiki were both delicious as were the flat breads. A greek salad was chunky and hearty and pretty much everything we ate was first class- haloumi, squid, chicken skewers, all just yummy and munchy! We left very full!

Staff are really warm and friendly- as others have mentioned- this is part of a chain but it feels like a local neighbourhood sort of a place.

I am going back tonight- I think this place could become a regular!

We went here today and were very pleased with the service and the food. It's a lovely restaurant and we all (three adults, two children) had a great time.

The waiter who served us was really nice and as soon as we sat down he told us how the service work. It is a litle different from others, as they serve just kind of Greek Tapas.

Service as I do not see often in London, I most say, really friendly, relax atmosmere. I really liked the atmosphere and I would reccomend this restaurant to other people

After hearing great reviews about this restaurant, I attempted to book dinner for a a large party of people several weeks in advance. I wish I hadn't bothered.

I was greeted by a surly manager, who after huffing and puffing at the indignity of having to take a booking, eventually managed to grasp the particular date I was looking for...although not without first saying that they were very busy despite the booking page being blank.

Furthermore, she said that my party had to leave by 8pm. When I questioned this, and pointed to the blank page, she then said that this was 'because it was near Christmas and they get very busy'.

When I was about to say something, the phone rang, and she quite rudely picked it up and started having a private conversation. What was more galling was that she was sweetness and light on the phone when dealing with a non customer!

She then proceeded to speak to me rather patronisingly, gave me the business card and wrote '15 minutes' (which was heavily underlined) to indicate that if we didn't turn up within 15 mins we would lose our table.

I've now found another restaurant who will cater for our party - who were very polite and couln't have been more accomodating - so will put it down to experience and give the restaurant a miss in the future.

What dreadful customer service. Despite there being many other restaurant choices in the area, a friend and I opted to give this restaurant a try, yesterday afternoon. Now despite it being 2.30pm, and despite there being very few tables that were actually occupied in the restaurant, our waitress decided that we should be shown to a table for two, which was stuck in a corner. Ordinarily this would not be a problem, however the fact that the table was shoved up against a wall, in a corner, and with one of the two chairs backing onto a fire extingisher, was really not a comfortable table to eat at, and to be honest I am not sure if this complies with health and safety fire regulations. Given that the restaurat was not at all busy and that there were many other tables available, we asked to be moved. to a table that seated four. The waitress was so hostile it was untrue. She kept telling us that we could only sit at the table for four, if we moved up along to the wall side, so that should the restaurant suddently become busy, with a mad rush at 2.30pm, on a week day, in the afternoon, then she would have the option of splitting our table in two. Common sense prevailed on our part, when we decided this wasn't a restaurant anyone would voluntarily choose to eat in and promptly left.

I just want to share my great experince in The Real Greek in Marylebone, because I think that is a good value help to new visitors a place to really enjoy of a great meal, with a friendly service and tasty food.

I was there a couple of weeks before, and I can say that the treatment received was one of the best that I've ever had, I felt there like having dinner at home with my girlfriend, i was explained the menus perfectly with the right amount of food that i should order, thing that i appreciate a lot because most of the time when you go to a restaurant you don't know what you have to order, the size of the plates, so many times you order or too much or too less.

The food was brilliant, small dishes to share that make you feel in conection with your partner, and the waiter was looking after us with a big smail at all the times explaining us what was the best option to have a nice meal with the best price.

I want to share that experince with the rest of the people, because i would like for me the same. When I left the restaurant I just coment to my girlfriend " what a great time"

Thank you very much for this brilliant feelings.
