A central Delft Greek restaurant with generous, generally well-liked food and strong value, but recurring reports of confusing charges, restrictive ordering policies, rude service, and isolated cleanliness or freshness concerns warrant caution.
The Real Greek delivers strong food quality anchored by consistently praised gyros and souvlaki with generous portions, but uneven meat execution and seasoning variations across visits prevent a higher grade. Service remains polarized around ordering and payment friction, while the Markt location offers convenient walkability that outweighs modest ambiance concerns.
The Real Greek occupies a lively, highly walkable spot on Delft's Markt, making it an easy stop when hunger strikes in the centre. The room and service can feel warm and efficient—one recurring impression is of "big, satisfying plates arriving quickly"—but the sample also contains sharp reports of uncomfortable seating, unclear house rules, and abrasive interactions. The cooking is straightforward Greek street food rather than an experimental kitchen: pita, gyros, souvlaki, grilled meats, feta, fries, and tzatziki dominate, with portions that regularly impress and prices that are reasonable on paper. Recent and repeat diners especially favor the chicken souvlaki and gyros, while a smaller but important group reports salty, dry, rushed, or questionable meat. The biggest practical caveat is not culinary ambition but operational clarity: confirm what a displayed deal includes and what everyone at the table is expected to order. Families have a genuine advantage here because the menu includes five kids' grilled-meat meals priced around €9.50-10.80, alongside familiar fries, pita, burgers, and chicken or pork gyros. Reviews describe the venue as family- and group-friendly, but several group accounts report seating or ordering friction, so families with accessibility needs or larger parties should check arrangements before settling in.
