The Real Greek serves a selection of mezedes and souvlaki, which is very much the Greek version of street food. Mezedes are small dishes, designed to be eaten like Tapas; souvlaki are simple skewers of marinated meats that are cooked on a charcoal grill and eaten wrapped in flat bread. They also offer a range of cocktails, both traditional and with a Greek twist.

The lunchtime mezze menus are well priced, with three mezze for either £8.95 (two dips and a hot mezze) or £12.50 for 1 dip, 1 cold and 1 hot dish. We liked the hummus, taramosalata and the lamb meatballs. The aubergine and halloumi stack seemed to have a softer, less salty melted cheese compared to halloumi though, and the Dakos salad had a piece of rusk that was too big for the feta and tomato it was topped with. Not sure how 'real Greek' it all is, but not bad value overall.
