The Real Greek - Muswell Hill in Haringey

Treated our son, son in law and 1, 1/2 year old grandson. They loved it. So sad to see that it is permanently closed as wanted to treat them again and they live in Muswell Hill.

Ordered the pork skewers as a takeaway, burnt and dry, do not waste your money dining here, disappointed!

Nice interior, and delicious food. But, The idea of picking a few different dishes with small portions works out very expensive, (for example 4 pieces of meat and a couple of spoons of rice for around £10). Fine if you want a wrap, but otherwise too many good places to eat to consider a return here I’m afraid.

No. Not at all worth the money - get much better value and quality in a genuine 'real' Greek/Turkish restaurant I suggest. My unappetising lamb was stuck to the wooden stick, (In the freezer too long?). The bread of my daughters 'wrap' was way too thick - the Halloumi inside was rock hard -she did not eat the Falafel. It looks good inside and the Menu seemed interesting. The waitress service was pleasent. But no!

The experience at The Real Greek at Muswell Hill was disappointing in the extreme. What I ate left me feeling bloated and with hiccups. The main course of pork skewer was inedible as it was all fat and the starters were tasteless. My partners meatballs were hard as though they had been reheated. The noise from the extractor fan made conversation difficult.

I love Greek food so I dumped here, to feel the holiday time I spent in Greece this Summer, and I have not regretted. I didn't know there is a Greek Restaurant chain in London, so I was a bit taken aback. Lovely and home made food, delicious Mezes, and great service from Esmeralda. See you again very soon.

scrumptious food and a scrumptiously sweet and attentive waitress. has a nice atmosphere and good service

As we like Greek food very much we went back to this restaurant and had a great experience. We were welcomed by Valentina, who was polite, kind and professional. Our food was served promptly and presented nicely. The menu is vey impressive, so much to choose from. Valentina made us feel special, she is a very good asset to this eatery. We recommend this place.

We took advantage of the latest offer on The Fork & enjoyed sone tasty Greek food, which was presented well & cooked to our liking. The service from Valentino was OUTSTANDING, she was thoughtful, professional, polite & perform her duties with a smile. A shining example which others should follow.

Had a gorgeous lunch at The Real Green in Muswell Hill and were brilliant looked after by the lovely Valentina who was very friendly and efficient, and made the best coffee we’d had in a while despite it being only her second day on the coffee machine. Well done for top-notch hospitality

Los platos tardaron a pesar de haber solo dos mesas ocupadas y una éramos nosotros. Wraps normales y con poca salsa . Y lo peor no dieron opción y añadieron un 10% del total en propina. Me he sentido burlada. No volvería nunca.

Me and my friend dropped here for lunch and a couple of glasses ( we love Greek Wines) last Sunday. The whole experience from start to finish was great and the Manager and the staff were so friendly and kind. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. But what left us really impressed is their kindness and patience. We know we are often a little annoying, and possibly too chatty ( we both maybe had one too many). However the Manager and the young guy were so accommodating and we want to thank them for that. We'll visit again. Phenomenal.

Went here for the first time with my daughter after passing it a few times. We wasn’t disappointed! The food was lovely, the souvlakis were packed with flavour as was the Mediterranean rice and Greek salad. It was definitely value for money. The service was very efficient too. It felt like we were on holiday in Greece 😊

Any time we are in Muswell Hill we go to The Real Greek: the food is fresh and really tasty and the service is excellent. My 3 year daughter loves to go as the restaurant is very family friendly. Esmeralda was our waitress last time and I couldn't thank her enough for how attentive, efficient, quick and sweet she was. Always so kind and with a smile on her face and so patient with children! At one point my daughter just ran to the toilet and Esmeralda was so nice to help her out as I made my way at a slower pace! Will be back at the next opportunity for sure!

We went to a show at the Alexandra Palace and decided to go for dinner in Muswell Hill beforehand. So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed my octopus dish and my husband loved the chicken wrap. We were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced it was as well. We would definitely eat here again.

Delicious food! Nice place to go and share. You get a wide selection of plates and you can taste a bit of everything with your friend. Service was very welcome and friendly.

Perfect place to dine out. Great food and service. Atmosphere is a touch of relax and fun with the waiting staff.

My daughters and I had a great experience. Andrea, our waiter, was very attentive, nice and knowledgeable. The food was great also, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended in a very nice area of North London. Will definitely be back!

Great food. Friendly and efficient staff. Thank you Harvey & Esmo for a nice evening despite the terrible weather today!

I went with a very good friend of mine. Harvey served us and he was very welcoming and friendly. So thank you, Harvey.

Nice setting and good food for price. Waiter Harvey was very helpful in menu choice and attentive.

Food authentic, service from Harvey excellent, company adequate. Would recommend, very reasonable prices for London.

Nice food, lovely staff. Relaxed ambiance. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in.

We have been here in a last minute group and we found nice food, relaxed atmosphere, smooth and good service. A good selection of set menus on Saturday was the perfect addition to our dinner, and evening. Particular thanks to Emily and Diana for their...

I was there for a coffee and a few bits to eat, I was in on a Saturday and a lovely girl called Dajana came to serve me, she was the best waitress I had ever came across, her service was impeccable she was so...

Had a wonderful time. The food was delicious Quick service from amazing waitresses. Will definitely be returning back soon.

We have been to Greece and we found the restaurant to be extremely authentic in terms of its food and presentation. It wasn't busy and had a great buzz about it! We ordered a selection of dishes but the stand-out for me was the aubergine...

Great service great food. Thanks for the hospitality, a lovely evening with the little ones. Kids meals went down a treat.

Me and my Wife popped in for a dinner and we received a great welcome by a Lady Manager. Food was delicious and well presented. Staff was attentive and looked after us since we seated until we leave and they made sure we were happy...

Friendly and fast service. Lovely food and well priced. The fixed menu is of particularly good a value . Thanks to Emily for being so friendly, welcoming and attentive. PS they also do student discount on their main menu items!

Little gem of a restaurant it’s a chain but this doesn’t feel like one. Nice decor and ambiance, but most importantly great food!! Nice people and nice vibe. Recommended.

I am Greek so I wanted to see if the food is good, as I have heard good thing about this Restaurant, and I did it right. Kalamari were crunchy and nice like I was used to eat them in Greece. Kefte has a different...

We have very much enjoyed our Saturday lunch here. Even if busy we managed to get a table very soon and felt very welcomed by the staff. . Special mention to the fried calamari and the spiced feta; I had them before in other Real...

Went to have dinner in the Real Greek Muswell Hill. Great food and very good atmosphere also amazing service from Harvey!

My husband and I went back to this restaurant and had a lovely meal. Esmeralda was so kind and professional and made sure we enjoyed our food. Andreas the manager was was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our freshly prepared food, which did taste lovely...

We were warmly greeted by Esmeralda, her professionalism & service were exceptional. Andreas the manager, was also caring & ensured all our needs were addressed. The food was freshly prepared, tasted good & presented in a very nice way. A significant change since our last...

This is the perfect place for lunch - delicious food, friendly service and quiet enough to chat and hear each other. They do a very reasonably priced lunch menu and it has a relaxing ambiance. Highly recommended!

We had a yummy greek meal last night at Muswell Hill. The owner was a great hoist and very helpful with allergies queries. Great service. Food was tasty and on a cold night it was nice and warm. Highly recommend the restaurant

Visited the area with my daughter yesterday (Sunday) and found this restaurant for lunch. We had a selection of vegetarian dishes which came on a tall stand; starters first and then mains. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were lovely. There was lots...

Nice place and decor plus staff was rather helpful (though forgot to ask us when we arrived if we have any food allergies when I do have some, but they asked everyone else coming in after us). Food was lacking some flavour and the £16...

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Muswell Hill Real Greek. The service was very friendly and attentive. We had Tonia’s selection and everything was delicious. There is a good selection of vegan options and everything is fresh and healthy.

Came for a family pre Xmas get together. In general the food was bland and overpriced, with a few exceptions. We had a broad selection of starters then 3 mezze dishes and a salad. The humous and aubergine dips needed flavour, lemon,salt garlic etc. V...

On our last full day in London, our hosts picked up a large order of "treats" from this spot to share with us in their home. Among the many full, hot, well-packed containers were a delicious egg plant dish, lamb and chicken delicacies and accompaniments....

Ordered through deliveroo. Quality ok though not special. Tiny portions at silly prices. Not to be recommended. Very unlikely to reorder

I was served by Anushka and Ines - they were really welcoming and friendly from the Jump. Gave great reccomenfations and made myself and my family feel comfortable and looked after. Food was lovely too. Cannot recommend enough!

What a lovely meal we had last night. Served by anushka and innes who weee delightful, attentive and very helpful in helping us navigate the menu! We’ll be going back soon to our new favourite restaurant in muswell hill !

Excellent Greek food. Staff is professional, attentive and generally very warm and welcoming. I live in the area and will definitely come here more often.

Beware, the portion sizes are bigger than you think. My friend and I went for a light lunch. We ordered from the luncheon special menu. It was bigger than advertised, which is always a nice surprise. The houmos, always the test, was hand made -...

We've recently started going here. The food is very fresh and tasty. The service is usually slow and they have a lot of deliveroos, but the food and service is great otherwise.

I had lunch with a friend. Ordered one of the lunch deals, the greek trio. Food was great and more than suffient for the value. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back.

I went with a friend for a simple lunch. There is a good value lunch deal for GBP8.50, just right if you just want a light lunch. From a selection of dips you choose two which are served with flatbread. The spicy cheese dip was...

The service was fine, once he came out from the back, as the restaurant was completely empty apart from us. However, one dish was completely bland and another was burnt.

I've visited this restaurant a few times. The food is quite nice but the service is literally appalling! Diners are left waiting and waiting while the threadbare staff just pack deliveroo after deliveroo. We waited 30 minutes for a starter of flatbread and tzaziki and...

It’s become a takeaway not a restaurant. Such a shame. 30 minutes before drinks arrived, an hour before food, and the ambience was watching countless Deliveroo drivers collect through the restaurant (complete with handwritten instructions on A4 for them on the entrance door). Don’t bother...

We booked a family birthday meal at the Real Greek on Saturday at midday - confirmed by phone the day before. When we arrived on time, the restaurant was closed and the one person there would not even come to the door to talk to...

We were the only customers there on Sunday at 5pm , but as very early evening we did not expect it to be busy The waitress did not ask if we wanted a drink as she handed us the menus , which is surprising as...

Very nice food - opted for Santorini set menu for 2 (great value for money) it was nicely presented on a tiered stand and the staff were very professional. Renis is great! (The manager I think?) will be back again soon. Thanks

I went with my daughter there, so nice restaurant and the food, we loved it. The price is good. Staff is kind

Very impressed with second visit in response to our previous visit. The Manager offered a complimentary meal ( because of previous lukewarm meal ) to compensate for the first visit. I’ll be taking more friends for another visit.

Food was good however service and staff were absolutely appalling. Didn't clear out table for a good twenty minutes and when my daughter ordered a dessert the waitress put the dessert on top of her dirty plate rather than clear the table. They saw the...

Tonia Buxton apparently has interests in this place. I’m Greek and I know Greek food. No wonder she’s on GB News now if that food has anything to do with it. Absolutely rubbish. For god sake sort it out. We won’t be going back. I’d...

Greek food??? Naaa the good was tasteless ….the service ? There was not service al all a part from when we were given the menu and the food. We waited ages because the restaurant work with deliveroo too and although there was 4 table we...

Food didn’t taste nice. We left one of the dishes untouched because it smelled and tasted off. This is not how Greek food tastes. We are definitely not going back. The only good thing in there was the service from the young waiter who served...

The food was quite underwhelming and I didn’t leave feeling very satisfied but the four stars are for Stanley who provided great service on his first day despite a chaotic evening! Thank you, Stanley!

Wow! And not a good wow! The worst Greek food in the entire universe! As a Greek person i feel so sorry for people who have tried this and thought this is what Greek food tastes like! How do I even begin to describe how...

I was served uncooked pork in a souvlaki. The rest of the food was OK but below average. Would never come back.

We really enjoyed the food there with a choice of tasty small dishes to share. Very reasonably priced. Great décor, good service. We'll be back.

Food was nice but service was so bad it left you shocked. Food that was ordered that wasn't processed which left guests waiting hours until they were served. Truly shocking.

The service at this place is pretty shocking. If you enjoy a long wait while watching other people eat or just plain rudeness (lead by the delightful manager) go no further.

Great Saturday dinner time with family. Good service, plenty of food and delicious wine. You can see why the place is busy on take out!

I ordered the 16£ deal i was so dissapointed and so hungry! Pork souvlaki and greek salad with pitta and and side shredded slaw. But i got 2 lots if slaw no greek salad and pork all cold! Never again !!

Great food and great portions. Highly recommend Gyros and fries. Very reasonable and food always tastes fresh

My son is vegan so needed somewhere for a light lunch. Had a fairly pleasing choice of vegan dishes which we enjoyed. Shared five small plates which was enough. Good service and would return.

Good food - authentic and lots of variety on the menu. Nice portion size. Will definitely order again.

Had our first takeaway from here last night after being recommended by friends. The food is unreal. We had the chicken and pork souvlaki, halloumi fries, chips, pitta breads, tzatziki, taramasalata and a Greek salad. Everything tasted fantastic.Great value as well! Really helpful and friendly...

I keep ordering with The Real Greek Muswell Hill every weekend. Very good value, and really cheap within the Muswell Hill area. I always go to different Real Greeks but this one have the most local atmosphere and friendly staff. Keep going guys. Looking forward...

I must say, star within the area. I did couple of orders lately, and each time I feel satisfied. Great deal on souvlaki and chips, and restaurant provide some really good, classic dips on the house! Only once, I was missing the item, but when...

Wow, who knew you could do Greek food so bad!? First and last time I get food from there. It was probably the most disappointing and discusting meal I have ever had. Ordered through Deliveroo, and only live 5 mins away but it arrived cold,...

We ordered here already a few times and the food is really fresh and tasty, also very simple meals which are healthy. Good choice for vegans.

Great food, and the vegan options were amazing. So nice to see traditional Greek options alongside vegan variations of classic dishes. Only criticism would be that if you want a main you only have the option of a wrap or to double up on the...

Have been to a number of this chain - and usually food and service are good . Today was a total disappointment- Muswell Hill branch is filthy - glasses had to be sent back as dirty, plates chipped , floor covered in food . Kids...

They have a great menu to accommodate all dietary requirements including vegan. You get the great flavours of the Mediterranean in the style of Spanish tapas. It’s a great way to share food and try lots of different dishes on the menu. My personal favourite...

The wife and I love the Real Greek and this is our favourite one because we love how this one is decorated- we almost feel like we are in Greece. The restaurant is quite small but I would say it is cosy and adds to...

UberEATS are thieves and need to take responsibility for their shoddy service. We ordered food from The Real Greek in Muswell Hill which arrived cold and squashed in a very small box. Some items were missing too. We took pictures and sent them to the...

I loved it ! I live in Ireland .... dini I had the chicken souvlaki - which was fabulous - really tasty. The menu offered it with chips inside (which I thought was a tad weird), asked for the chips on the side .... perfect...

I've done an order online and they sent me 1 of 4 items! when I've called them the lady on the phone was very rude and she didn't try at least to corect the mistake! I'll never order from there!!!!

Food 4/5 Service 2/5 Prices 3/5 We came late afternoon to eat a lunch/dinner we were really hungry, when the waiter brought us a menu we were waiting another 15min when he will come back to our table to ask about our choice, I had...

We arrived with a party including three children at 5:45. We ended up waiting for 45 minutes until the children were served. The staff seemed more concerned with preparing takeaway orders than serving their customers. We were very disappointed by the service. Food - We...

The food was very ordinary and the portions on small plates were too small to feel satisfied. The rice was bland and tasteless and we all left most of it uneaten. The dips were also bland and tasteless. We were celebrating a friends birthday and...

Myself and my partner were in this place last night and it was banging for vegans! We were struggling along through vegan January and then discovered their newly improved vegan offerings last night for our anniversary date night. The service was kind, friendly and helpful...

Visited for dinner and we ordered from the vegan menu. Some great new dishes as well as the old favourites, felafel and hummus, plys we tried the stew / casserole / ratatouille style dish which was lovely. The only bad point was the Greek salad,...

The 2 main dishes were very poor. the lamb skewer was edible but not the best quality meat; the chicken had to be sent back as it was burnt. we received barely an acknowledgement of the problem. a plate of chips was warm and some...

Uber eats and I have a long history of late deliveries so it is a given that it would not be on time. The food was stone cold when I got it. When the souvlaki says "grilled" I expect it to be grilled to order,...

Went there two couples. We love middle eastern and Greek good. Have been to Greece. The food here is not even a distant cousin to Greek food. Ingredients are low quality. The Greek salad had low quality tasteless tomatoes and feta cheese of lowest standards....

i ordered from this restaurant pork wraps and it was like eaten by dogs, the wrap was destroyed with almost nothing inside the wrap and freezing like was made yesterday, i threw it straight away in the bin. If you order from this place they...

I’ve used this chain a few times, always reliable for good food and a warm welcome. We were a party of six, hadn’t booked but it wasn’t a problem. We will be back.

Very small portions, not tasty, not hot food, I am so disappointed, also all my family never order again.

I ordered a take away from here for the family dinner. It would seem that the receipt I have is different to the one printed from the restaurant. I was really looking forward to a lovely Greek salad but they didn’t put that in the...

I’ve had a few meals here now and all have been good. They do a remarkably good value fixed price lunch with a good choice of items. Window seats are great for people watching and are a nice location in the restaurant. Cheerful, attentive staff...

Went with friends last night, plates on afternoon tea stacks (?why?) so we could not see each other and the food was revolting, greasy, sloppy, tasteless and not in the least bit Greek! Why oh why did we go there when there are loads of...
