The Real Greek - Reading

We were celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday and what a surprise to receive bubbly on our arrival! The friendly waitress was vivacious and efficient and brought our drinks order without delay. She gave us suggestions and advised on choices and how much to order- I think we shocked her by the amount we consumed in the end but it was too delicious to leave anything on the plates! The relaxed atmosphere and sociable/sharing of food made it perfect for the occasion. My daughter was delighted by the cake and the fiery ‘candle’ which made her feel very special. The Real Greek certainly made it a memorable lunch and went beyond our expectations. Thank you all very much for the extras, they were very much appreciated and we’ll definitely be recommending the restaurant and returning soon ourselves.

I was disappointed with the service and quality of the food. I specifically mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. The waiter was not very friendly and our main courses i.e chicken and I halloumi was tough and tasted precooked. This was a real disappointment as I’ve generally been pleased with my experiences. A real set back

The food was absolutely lovely, clean plates all round. Every member of staff was so friendly and attentive. Overall it was a lovely dining experience!

Lovely meal, the food was very good and service was excellent.

it was an enjoyable experience. excellent food and really good service at very reasonable prices.

Food was delicious and definitely a good sized portion! Super busy on a Saturday, may need some additional staff

Friendly staff, lovely food, reasonable prices. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. It is always difficult to find a restaurant in December that is not offering a Christmas menu, or covered in Christmas decorations. This restaurant was decorated, but it was subtle and not ‘in your face’. The menu was not Christmas themed. Perfect for our birthday celebration.

We had a really lovely lunch here. Food great as was the staff and great price too. Will be coming bavk

Service was in between. Greeting and seating - great service. The girl that served us at first was brill. The guy who took over after seemed like he couldn't be bothered.
The food although tasty was in such small portions that it really wasn't worth the price. And in a party of 6 adults and an 8-year-old - the 8-year-old went home hungry. Won't mention all our disappointment at the portion sizes. If you want to do some tasting go ahead if you are after actually eating, this is not your place. For the smallest piece of cheesecake - £5 haha ... being my mom's birthday her comment was that she should have made her own cake and just brought it in.
Being called The Real Greek ... it isn't really that real and authentic.
And the other thing that literally drove me crazy - the lights above us - 1 kept n blinking and it got to a point where I got a headache and couldn't concentrate on much apart from the blinking. Won't be returning that is for sure.

Worst service ever. We had a reservation and yet still had to wait 15 minutes before anyone even spoke to us let alone get seated. The staff were rude and rushed us. The waiter snatched the card machine from my friend. The food was lovely but the front of house staff were atrocious.
