THE REAL GREEK

The Real Greek at Old Spitalfields Market is your typical mixed bag. On one hand, you’ve got some solid dishes like the crunchy halloumi fries and flavour-packed souvlaki that seem to make everyone smile. On the other, there’s a bit of a warning from a diner who felt misled by the ice cream sandwich size—spoiler: they didn’t get the mouthful they expected. Still, most folks rave about friendly staff and the filixenia menu, so it’s not all doom and gloom.

Sure, the vibe is chill and the service stands out, but with a sprinkle of inconsistency in portions, you might want to strategize your order here. Overall, if you’re craving Greek in a bustling market, it’s worth a visit, just manage your expectations on portion sizes and be prepared to perhaps order a dish or two more than you thought you’d need.
