Gr/Eat Greek Deli and Cuisine
Latest Reviews
Always call in at grEAT when in Eastbourne now and after sitting outside with a bottle of retsina and some meze dips in the blazing sun went inside for the main meal. Close attention by the staff and owner Visilis. Lovely meal and then pastry of the day washed down with coffee. Great meal at "Greek" prices. Cannot wait for the next visit

We visited on a rather frantic Friday night with an almost full house of diners looking to be impressed by this relatively new addition to Eastbourne.
The decor is neat, fresh and tidy and despite having televisions on the wall (which gives a rather takeaway feel to an otherwise lovely atmosphere). We were sat down promptly and provided with menus although not informed of any specials which would have been nice.
Starters were calamari and one portion of humous and pitta which was very well made and my calamari was excellent compared with what I have had at Italian places in the past. Not greasy or overdone.
I requested a half pork and half chicken souvlaki which they obliged me despite not strictly being on the menu. I was pleased with what I received and even more pleased when I tasted it. Really charcoaled in flavour, perfect for the summer. The chicken was better than the pork which was a little dry but it was lovely regardless.
My vegetarian eating partner had an excellent selection to choose from, compared with the usual boring options. She had a selection of mezzes with giant beans and baked feta which she considered enjoyable, these were a favourite from holidays in Greece and although hard to compare to those abroad they went down well.
Drinks were authentic and varied and were reasonably priced.
In terms of value for money it was around 20 pounds per head which is reasonable although you could have a more authentic experience by sharing more mezzes.
Will return. Good to take the family. Friendly service and popular with the locals.

This restaurant was a great discovery,must round the corner from our seafront hotel - not so good! GR/eat is run by Vasilis and his wife - they are very friendly and charming. All the waiting staff were fantastic - Vivianna, Elsa and Alex especially. We are there four times during our stay, and enjoyed it as much every time. The food is excellent - particularly good for vegetarian choices, and the wine was fine too. The atmosphere was quiet and the location very good.

A new restaurant serving authentic greek cuisine.
The meze selection is a very good choice for a party of 4 but might be a bit much for less. That said, even 4 people get more to eat than is strictly good for you and because it is very good it is difficult to leave any. The starters and dessert spreads are particularly good. They have a selection of greek wines the reds of which are definitely worth a try. Very good wine and very reasonable prices.

I was first impressed by the friendly staff and how clean the restaurant is, but quickly realised that the food was centre stage! We had the set meze, which was wonderful.
Lots of not such small plates of delights followed by a dessert to share. We also bought a few things from the deli to take home. We will definitely return here again soon.

It was a wonderful surprise! I would definitely recommend it for someone who wants to taste the authentic Greek cuisine. Vasilis the owner was very hospitable and we enjoyed every dish we tried. There is also a deli in the restaurant with various Greek products. We tried the olive oil and some traditional pasta which was perfect!!

Tasty authentic food, good price for the portions. They haven't been open long but already every table was reserved. Only thing that let them down was service was a little slow and the heaters they had to use weren't too warm. Teething problems but overall a lovely evening.

The meal was very good and the service too, it has outside seating for when the weather is fine and lots of seating inside & downstairs. Will be going again today.

Sat outside with my mother in the lunchtime sun, lovely host gave us lots of time to decide on a few dishes then gave fantastic advice on swapping a dish to create more variety. Good simple food, felt great after

Popped in here for lunch on a sunny, Sunday visit to eastbourne. There's lots of choice along this road but myself and partner are partial to Greek food and didn't want to indulge the children as usual. We noticed on the menu there was chips available so confident they wouldn't starve, we went in. The inside was gorgeous, modern, muted colours with pictures of sunny Greece on the walls. We sat down optimistically. Everything on the menu sounded great so we went for the meze offer-£12.50 for dips, meze and main. Oh my goodness- it was all lovely. Hummus and possible the best taramosalata I've eaten. Greek falafel, feta parcels, kebabs, melt in the mouth beef. Washed down with good humour and smiles from the staff. My kids opted to share the Greek version of fish and chips. It was wolfed down by both and then emboldened they started on ours. We came out thoroughly satisfied and with a view that it was worth another visit to eastbourne just to come here again. Like all people who visit, I imagine, we spent some time in the evening looking at holidays to the Greek Isles!

Absolutely loved this restaurant from the food to the service to the cost and finally to the ambiance!
My favourite being the mousaka which was a little bit of Grecian heaven on my plate. It was hearty and full of flavour, with the most delightful bechemal sauce on the top. We also had the vine leaves (warmed, that was new one on us!), samosas (not sure of the correct name) and the Bekri Meze, finishing off with the gorgeous Greek yoghurt, flavoured with fruits, honey and nuts. We will be returning very shortly. Yes, it's that good!
Total cost for 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert, 2 apple juices, (3 baclavas, 2 Turkish delight boxes & fava beans from the deli) was approx £42.00 and worth every single penny.
Visit as soon as you can …

We came here last night for the first time. We chose the Meze which was very well done. All the dishes in it were delicious. Nothing was over done; the kebab soft and tasty.
Loved the Greek pastries afterwards. Not too sweet so the flavours of the nuts and spices came through. We look forward to bringing more friends along.

I cannot speak to highly about this restaurant (taverna). Have been a couple of times now and have been very impressed with everything Vassili has done with the place. The authentic Greek cuisine, friendly staff and Greek music give a truly Greek experience. Can't wait for the up coming Greek night with live music. My wife and I are so pleased to have found this small piece of Greece in Eastbourne. ...
