Everything was fresh and tasty. The homemade orange cake was absolutely delicious Would’ve loved to see some Cretan Dakos on the menu

A great restaurant in the middle of Leith walk. Very warm and welcoming service. The meat was cooked to perfection:) the salad had too much salt in my opinion, but my friend loved it :)

Very good stuff, the pork skewers stunned and everything else was nice too. We prompted got another pork souvlaki after ordering the mixed grill Pork skewers were particularly tender and flavourful Beats all the other greek places in town, I honestly didn't expect to find something of this calibre here The only complaint is that they don't accept reservations, but after 7pm on a Sunday they were surprisingly empty so I guess it's not too big a problem

I have been going to Greet the Greek for about 3 years now and It has been my go to for Greek food. Portions are the largest in Edinburgh and prices are also quite low for the quality and quantity they provide.
