Situated at Bankside, The Real Greek Souvlaki & Bar has a nice spot on the river. As you would expect, it’s all Greek food, with an emphasis on sharing.

As we were a party of six, we ordered ‘The Real Greek Meze Taster for 6’ for £31.90, which as the name suggests offers a taster of every meze. The food arrived in three bowls – the selection included dolmades (vine leaves stuffed with rice), grilled crevettes (prawns), tiropitakia (filo triangles filled with feta and spinach) and grilled octopus. It was all good, and although I guess it was all about having a little taste of everything, there wasn’t much of it (it’s not easy sharing three small prawns between six).

To follow, we ordered four souvlaki (meat wrapped in flatbread) to share – two chicken and two lamb – which were tasty, and some more flatbread and dips.

They do sell Alfa, a Greek beer, on draught but we ordered a couple of bottles of the house red Vin de Crete, which unfortunately was a little on the warm side – almost as if it had been sitting next to a radiator.

We ended up paying about £18 a head, and although the food was good, the portion size was small; a little expensive for what we had.
