During my visit, I savored a selection of their traditional meze dishes.

Food was amazing! We walked in with no reservation and they manage to seat us immediately. We came in before evening rush. Their staff was very friendly and prompt. We ordered halloumi popcorn, warm flat bread, pork skewer and a greek salad. Their serving was enough for me and my SO and enjoyed every last bite of it.
Got take away from here last night. The camera did not eat first as we were starving but the employees who took our order were super nice and we got our food in 10 minutes Highly recommend the Octupus and the chicken wrap but really everything was delicious. They gave several locations we passed during our time here and we're glad we finally stopped in
Food and service are top notch! Such a lovely restaurant and felt very welcome! Staff very friendly.
Picked up a halloumi wrap for the airport. There was a small line right before opening, but they took my order right away, and I got it within 5 minutes. So quick!! The wrap itself was solid, but I felt as if the halloumi was sort of just put into the wrap and there wasn't a cohesive flavor tying everything together. The fries were spiced well and I loved the yogurt. The pita also had some seasoning and was incredibly soft. Maybe some seasoning on the halloumi would've helped. Their sit down menu also look great, so I would totally come again and try it out! The ambiance inside seemed very nice for a meet up for friends or a date.
The food was outstanding and so was the service. The prices were very good compared to other places in London. Exceptional Greek food that you can find in this area. Inside was gorgeous, lively, and welcoming. I definitely recommend coming here!!
The only reason I visit Covent Garden for food is The Real Greek. Seriously good food that's at least 3 levels above everything else in the surrounding area. The Greek tapas concept was new to me and at first a bit weird but getting 3-4 dishes per person is the recommended road to follow.
I'm VERY surprised by the negative reviews here! Maybe I've always been lucky, but I've been here twice for lunch and once last week for dinner and always had a great experience. The dinner was particularly good - we had one of the 'set' menus (Peloponnese) for 2 at £29.75. You get 8 dishes and a choice between 2 for each dish. The food was great quality and there was just the right amount of everything to go round. The filo pastry feta parcels and falafel were particular highlights! Yes it may not be the most 'authentic', but the food was lovely, service was great and for the price we paid I left very happy.
