Gr/Eat Greek Deli and Cuisine
Latest Reviews
We were off to see 'The Bodyguard' musical and needed to grab something to eat really quickly. Being Cyprus born, I always keep an eye out for any Greek/Cypriot restaurants and just stumbled across this place. Absolutely loved it. They have got the decor spot on. The food was so tasty. The service wonderful. Sadly, we were in a rush so just main courses. Mine was fresh pasta on a bed of the most tender beef - very similar to a Pasticio but this was a recepe from Crete. Very resonably priced food. Quality food. We are due to meet friends in a few weeks and we are coming here. Highly recommended. And The Bodyguard was great. Alexandra Burke was superb. ..

We had a number of salads and dips plus an entree as a light meal. Fabulous! The staff was charming and very helpful even though our two languages weren't always clicking. I was surprised to learn that they had been open only a few months because they seemed very experienced. It was a great meal, extremely reasonable prices and wonderful vibe.

If you are in Eastbourne this place should be high on your list, the food is great, staff excellent plus pure Greek atmosphere.The Meze was the top item with dish after dish. The drinks are reasonable, also try the Greek Coffee with Metals.

Lovely place with very happy friendly staff and top notch food. The Greek Meze was delicious and fresh and we thought it would never end. Really great value for money and the food was better than we've had in Greece. Definitely a regular lunch/dinner stop from now.

Went on a Saturday night - we booked which I would advise as it became very busy. Two of us had the mezze and two of us went a la carte. The food and welcome is genuinely Greek and was simply lovely. The mezze seemed like a bit of almost everything and just kept coming. The two main meals that came up at the end were a bit of a surprise as we thought we'd finished. Souvlaki, proper Greek chips, real taramasalata and white beans were highlights but it was all very good. The service was very efficient and friendly. I wish I lived locally, I'd come regularly.

Popped in per chance. Ordered a few tapas style dishes. Food was tasty, fresh and the service excellent. My only regret was not ordering more !!!! Coming again

The food is probably the best Greek food I have eaten in a restaurant - including in Greece. As advertised, the food is fresh, beautifully cooked and presented. The premises are smart and the addition of the deli selling Greek products is a nice touch. The negatives are that generally the portion sizes are small and so, despite ordering an array of dishes, my partner and I left hungry! Also, because there were only two waiters, there were very long waits between the courses. Finally, the dishes are expensive. I don't think that one chicken souvlaki is worth ten pounds - no matter how well cooked and presented it is! Despite the negatives, however, it was a very good dining experience and we will certainly eat there again.

At last, a brilliant boost for the Eastbourne restaurant scene. A Bright, contemporary restaurant with an open view kitchen, serving homemade authentic Greek dishes.
The Greek Meze is plate after plate of fantastically delicious food that just keeps coming until you can barely move off the chair. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and very reasonable prices with vegetarian meals too. So all in all perfect for get-togethers with family and friends. Gr/Eat is now permanently on my list of favourite places to eat.

the food was fresh and ok, but needed to have Greek seasonings - roasted vegetables tasted bland and why new potatoes when they arte served with rice?
taramasalata was bright pink and very glutinous. Hummus was good, chicken kebab was good. Has promise just need to improve a few dishes and definitely service which was haphazard, slow and not very welcoming. I don't think deliberately just not very good at the customer care bit.

First visit very busy perhaps one more staff required as drinks were slow to arrive.
Food was excellent and arrived in good time.
Very pleasant staff and owner.
Lighting requires dimming to increase the cosy theme.
Overall a very enjoyable experience will return.

We found Gr/Eat from the Trip Advisor reviews and thought they were excellent. Make sure you book in advance. We stuck to Greek classics - pork souvlaki, mousakka, hummus, tsatziki, kolokythokeftedes, and Taramasalata. All were very good although the hummus needed more olive oil and tahini. Recommended.

Having gone past this restaurant a few times, my husband and i decided we would give it a go, we found the food to be excellent, the staff very helpful and the restaurant very clean and tidy, we didn't try much as it was our first time eating greek food but we will definately be returning as our experience was so good

My boyfriend and had a lovely sunny lunch seated in the sun at the front of the restaurant. I very flexible set lunch menu and very reasonably priced too!

Went there with the wife last night, and squeezed ourselves into the last two tables in the place (Word of advice: book ahead!). We were hugely indecisive, as all the menu items look great (pardon the pun).
We had the Meze meal for two. You don't get to choose things, but although that was a slight consideration, we needn't have worried. Everything came out freshly cooked from the kitchen and tasted amazing. Another little tip here, make sure you're really hungry if you're ordering this, as the generosity of the Greeks is copiously on display here. A trio of dips, with a Greek Salad, followed by a Feta Saganaki, Giant Beans, and then we got to the mains. Couple of Souvlaki Skewers followed by a Beef in Red Sauce. Beautiful! Bear in mind, when you go, this may not be what you get.
We were so full at this point we stopped for a breather, before the Greek Desserts came out. And I have to single these out. Normally when you get these, they're pretty much of a muchness. However, it's clear these are hand made - there's a wonderful flavour to everything that is presented to you. I loved these.
Go! Go again! I'm sure you'll be as enthralled with it as we are!

I went here tonight with 2 friends. We had the full meze meal, and it was absolutely amazing. Really reasonable pricing for the food, and definitely for the drinks too. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great evening, and for amazing Greek food. Will definitely be going back!

My wife and I enjoyed an extremely tasty and well presented meal here on a quiet Sunday evening. The owner is friendly and attentive and the prices are remarkably good, with excellent Greek wines at very fair prices. We shared a mixed starter of dips with toasted pitta - all home made - generous portion size and delicious. For main course we both enjoyed moussaka but there was lots of great food on the menu.
What's there to like: the setting, ambience, the welcome and attention, the wine, delicious food, and a very reasonable bill. We would definitely eat here often if we lived nearer!

Gr/eat food , Gr/eat owners, Gr/eat staff, Gr/eat atmosphere. 10 of us descended for an evening meal at this wonderful restaurant. We had prebooked our table and to help the chef preordered our states and main dishes. I've said it all the beginning of my review. Such a good time we've gone on the list en mass for when Greek nights are being held

Haven't enjoyed a meal so much in a long time. Not a huge choice on the menu but quite sufficient. Wife and I went for my birthday. Chose two Meze dishes as a starter then two very different main meals and two different desserts. All were well cooked. Service was excellent and cost represented excellent value for money. Meze dishes between £4-6; main courses between £10-16. Three course meal with wine for two came to about £50. I will return many times. It's only just opened and deserves to do very, very well.

Booked a table for Greek night and it was amazing!! The food was awesome and the service was great. The best thing though was the atmosphere! Bouzouki and dancing all night!

Went to Gr/eat on a Saturday evening on a friend's recommendation. We were struck by its cleanliness and professional, friendly staff. We could see into the kitchen which looked pukka. All tables were reserved and people were being turned away. The food was good, particularly the starter dips and dessert which we chose. It was particularly pleasing that there were many vegetarian options. The only slight blips were the cold draught from the continually opening door, and the fact that the vegetables served alongside my rice were not as described to me by the waitress, and were disappointing - mainly sauté potatoes instead of peppers and courgettes. Nevertheless, apart from this, we enjoyed the meal and welcome this addition to Eastbourne's choice of good ethnic restaurants, as we love this style of cuisine. We intend to visit again at lunchtime and hope to bring a party of 10 book club members here for our annual dinner or lunch in July.
