Located on Paddington Street in the heart of Marylebone, The Real Greek brings the flavours and spirit of Greece to one of London's most charming neighbourhoods. With its relaxed atmosphere and emphasis on traditional Greek hospitality, it's an inviting spot for everything from a casual lunch to a leisurely dinner with friends and family. The menu celebrates the pleasures of Mediterranean dining, with an emphasis on fresh flavours, generous portions and dishes made for sharing.
Meze takes centre stage, offering plenty of opportunities to sample a variety of Greek favourites. Start with classic dips such as creamy tzatziki, houmous, taramasalata and whipped spicy feta, served alongside warm Greek flatbread. For something hot, halloumi popcorn, crispy fried kalamari, spinach pie and courgette fritters provide a tempting introduction to the menu.
Souvlaki is another highlight, with grilled chicken, pork, lamb and halloumi among the options. Served in wraps or as part of a larger meal, these Greek street-food staples combine chargrilled flavours with fresh accompaniments. Those looking for something more substantial can explore the restaurant's traditional taverna dishes and slow-cooked plates, while fresh salads and sides offer a lighter complement to the meal.
For groups, sharing platters bring together a selection of Greek classics, making it easy to enjoy a little of everything. The menu also caters to a range of dietary preferences, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.
The Real Greek Marylebone also offers a Filoxenia set menu, designed to showcase a selection of its signature dishes at a set price, alongside a weekday lunch menu for those looking for a convenient midday option.
Whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed meal, stopping by for lunch or gathering over a table of meze and souvlaki, The Real Greek offers an approachable taste of Greek cuisine. With its sociable dining style, familiar Mediterranean flavours and welcoming atmosphere, it's a neighbourhood restaurant built around the simple pleasure of eating well together.
