Sat at table reservation for 9pm and after M&S met a lady in high street that recommended this Greek restaurant and we had a misunderstanding that the boss was kicking me out for drinking my beer where the New Girl said it was ok! Then I had a conversation that changed her mind and even went out of her way to serve my beer... so if you're in a party vibe this is the place to be. Don't stop going to GPO please make sure you find your way to the best in town you will not regret it. love the music too. One clear plate Awesome thank you for serving my special beer not found down here yet but if you fancy some of it was Abbot Reserve by green king or The Beast Exmoor brewery... so here is a rap I wrote to mark the very odd night Verse 1: I'm feeling hungry and thirsty, I need some food and drink I know a place where I can get both, it's the Greek Meze in Orpington They have the best dishes and dips, they make me want to sing They have hummus, tzatziki, dolmades and more, they have everything Chorus: But there's one thing that they don't have, that I need to bring It's my special Albert Reserve Ale, it's the best beer in the world It's brewed with passion and love, it has a unique flavour and sting It's my secret weapon, my ace in the hole, it's how I impress the new blond girl Verse 2: She works at the Greek Meze, she's the waitress with the smile She has blonde hair and blue eyes, she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen She always gives me a warm welcome, she always goes the extra mile She always asks me what I want to order, she always treats me like a king Chorus: But there's one thing that she doesn't know, that I need to show her It's my special Albert Reserve Ale, it's the best beer in the world It's brewed with passion and love, it has a unique flavour and sting It's my secret weapon, my ace in the hole, it's how I impress the new blond girl Verse 3: So I take my special Albert Reserve Ale, I hide it in my bag I go to the Greek Meze, I find a table near the window I order some food and a glass of water, I act casual and cool I wait for her to come to me, I get ready to make my move Chorus: Then I take out my special Albert Reserve Ale, I open it with a pop I pour it into my glass of water, I watch it fizz and foam I raise it to my lips, I take a sip, I savour every drop I look at her with a wink, I say "This is how I drink my beer", I make her swoon

We visited in February, a Friday evening, there was 8 of us, all girls. Upon arriving we were NOT told that all the toilet facilities were out of order. We ordered drinks and food. Issues - Volume of food was excessive. We ordered the platters, recommended to get 2x 4people platters by the staff. In an age where cost of living is a real issue and people are going hungry my entire group were upset with the volume of food that was going to waste. The menu does not offer a description of what's included so we had no way of judging. It felt like the restaurant was only interested in the money they would make. - The bad smell. There was a terrible smell all night which we later found out was due to the toilets (every single one of them) blocked and overflowing. - The toilets. After eating our party wanted to use the toilet facilities, we were then told that they were not working. There were people queuing who had been drinking so despite not having any working toilets people were forced to go on top of blocked and into flooded restrooms - yes imagine your worst nightmare. As you can imagine a restaurant full of drunk people on a Friday were going to do what they had to. The staff didn't seem to care, when I questioned them I got told a Plummer had been called earlier but had yet to arrive. It seemed the restaurant just wanted to make money rather than look after the sanitary welfare of their customers. As soon as we found out the toilets were blocked we settled the bill and left. - of the 9 of us a number of us complained to the restaurant. To this day there has been no response and the complaints have been ignored. It's such a shame that a restaurant would put making money over the welfare of customers and to then not even offer an apology.... As per government guidelines it is illegal to sell alcohol with no toilet facilities. Our group will not be back.

Hi, Firstly i would start by saying i hate to leave a review that is not entirely positive. The restaurant itself is very nice, with lovely decor and a lively atmosphere and I did enjoy my evening out. The service was good and on the whole staff were attentive. The food was also nice overall. However, I visited the Greek Meze in Orpington on the last day of eat out to help out, and was very surprised to see that they had not opted in to the government 50% off food. I am very surprised that aside from 1 other recent review only posted last night that no reviews prior to this has mentioned this. I had assumed (my error) that all restaurants were taking part to help their customers out and encourage people to eat out to also help local businesses. I just don't understand why they would not have opted into this, or at the very least made customers aware they had not taken part in the scheme as that was what prompted us to eat out to take advantage of this on the last day of the scheme. As others had also mentioned social distancing was pretty non existent. I had a lady on a table next to be that was less that 1 metre away from me. I assume this is because the restaurant was busy. I would go back as the staff were nice and friendly, but so disappointed that we hadn't been eligible for the 50% off food discount so this is reflected in my stars, sorry.

Really annoyed and dissapointed!!! Went on the last night of the "Eat out to help out scheme" to finish off the bank holiday weekend to then get hit with a large bill because they had not even bothered to opt into the scheme for their customers, don't worry about helping the local community through a pandemic. The govenment sets up a scheme to help business and the public and they just have not bothered to opt in, they don't explain to you at all before hand either as people would go somewhere else and they know that. Food was ok, nothing amazing. Staff was attentive throughout the meal, they didn't have any fruit cider in stock. So I was told they would make me up a free fruit cocktail that I was not fussed about having and I said not to worry but they insisted, then charged me £10 for it. Then all of a sudden the waiter wasn't very attentive when I questioned it at the end of the night. Then he walked off and I never saw him again and a girl come over asking for payment who I have not seen before. Therefore, I left not happy at all and will not be going back. I don't like business that play games so I would rather give my time and money somewhere else. Not like there isn't a lot of choice these days.

Food is very good as well as portion size however the service isn’t the best. We booked and paid a table for a large group of people whereas some people were on time others had setbacks . The manager and majority of staff kept rushing us to order food and drinks, at least that is how we felt . The manager also imposed us to leave the restaurant within a certain time since some of the guests were late . During our stay they kept cleaning the table more than enough time , kind of too often. Some of us were still using the plates but clearly they wanted us to leave as soon as possible to freed the area/ table. Good greek food can be found in lots of areas I would not recommend this one specifically as atmosphere and service it is just as important .

Arriving when it opened on a Sunday, I was straight away impressed with this restaurant's decor as well as professional staff. Our waiter (I didn't ask your name) who was Greek and Bulgarian was excellent, clearly experienced at making customers feel comfortable. It's also spotlessly clean, we sat near the window and I've never seen a window so sparkling. I also loved the music that was playing. Really nice vibe at the restaurant. The Greek salad was delicious, felt like I was actually in Greece again with a whole feta piece was presented on top of the salad. The calamari was delicious, cooked to perfection. So many places calamari is undercooked and greasy, but not here! Really like it and we will return!

I didn't stay to eat. We had a family reservation for mothers day. We had booked a month prior. However we showed up at the time of our booking, though our name was on the system. The guy at the front of house claimed they didn't have space. He claimed he called earlier to find out what was happening with our booking ad it was booked over a month ago but we didn't answer/accept. However my cuz had spoken to someone the day before. We ended up having to wait for them to make space and clean up after possibly asking others to vacate tables. 20 mins after our reservation time we were still waiting. I then bid my family farewell and decided to leave. I mean what a mess. Don't think I'd ever go back. This was the Plumstead one so who knows maybe service elsewhere is better.

The recent change in menu makes it now have little resemblence to what good Greek food is all about. The lamb kofte (aka adana) has been removed and Greek kebab replacement is now a mix of beef and lamb mince. It clearly now has a much reduced meat content, with a poor texture, and it tasted awful! I wouldn't even think it was worthy of feeding a dog, let alone any of my family. The lamb fillet served we suspect was pork, as it didn't have the taste or look of lamb at all. This cost-cutting exercise will cost you good customers and much needed business. You have been warned!!

Visited for the first time this week for a birthday celebration. Booked a table through Google, easy and convenient. The mezes we had were really good, everyone enjoyed them. Almost all of them came with pitta bread. When it came to mains I had veggie spaghetti and was pretty blant, mostly consisting mashrooms and not very tasty ones, would not recommend. My other half had grill and he enjoyed it. My girls had plain spaghetti and soup of the day- tomato soup. Service was attentive and friendly. Didn't have dessert as cake was waiting at home. Atmosphere was very nice and welcoming.

Unfortunately not a great experience. My partner and I had the sharing fish platter, everything was absolutely burnt and full of oil. Food was so so bland and everything tasted the same, was terrible. Our chips and Greek salad came around 10 minutes after the food, the portion of chips were the best thing about the meal but again barely any chips literally a handful. Made the waiter away and she said she’ll tell the chief and when he did he didn’t even blink. There was no reduction of the price nothing. Unfortunately would never go again, absolutely not !

My partner rang 3 hours before and managed to get a table on a Friday night, we just wanted a quick homely meal. We ordered starters and the lamb shank as a main, it was beautiful as always! The staff are polite and friendly and we was in and out within 45 minutes. Perfect if you want to make a night of it too as they had a really good musician playing. Beautiful place highly recommend ☺️

We went with my friend last Sunday to this beautiful restaurant again. Me and my boyfriend we ordered a huge plate with seafood and it was enough for two. The fish was so fresh and I loved it I never get disappointed by their food. They have the most delicious food.This is one of my favourite restaurants with no doubt I’ll always come here. Also congratulations for having the most amazing, kind and friendly staff a restaurant could ever have. Thank you so much for having us and you’re all doing a very good job, continue.

Wanted to eat something in Orpington at 4:30PM on a Sunday after attending a local circus and The Greek Meze was almost the only one opened, so we got in, and we were so pleasantly surprise - very good atmosphere, very good and tasty food with big portions, great waiters, very attentive and polite. To top it all, as it was my daughters 18th birthday on the day, they brought a cake for her, from the house and they joined us singing Happy Birthday - just great atmosphere and we enjoyed it hugely Well done!

Not suitable for families. Music for some reason is so loud that you can't hear anything from the person next to you!! Drinks are nice. The food is mediocre, not exactly Greek.. Yeeros inside the Skepasti was chopped meat not original Greek Yeeros. Customer service was excellent and the food a bit overpriced.

Absolutely shocking service. Table booked for 8.30pm, didnt get my main until 10.45pm! Felt awful for the waitress as she was trying to serve 50 people alone! So badly organised, shame because could have been great if properly managed. Staff rude and unhelpful but not surprising as they are so over run, too many bookings and not enough staff. 200 people upstairs and only 1 barman - crazy!

Nice atmosphere, good service and clean facilities. The food was slightly disappointing, particularly the baked feta dish which was quite oily. We also ordered saganaki which was slightly dry. The gyro souvlaki and the chicken (lemonato kotopoulo) were decent. Overall, the price didn't match the quality hence the 3 stars.

Highly recommended. I would suggest sharing the grills as they are BIG enough for 2. Lovely food and drink - huge portions. Take no notice of the pictures on the menu from their website they are not very appetising and do not represent their food at all. They should seriously consider removing the pictures as they do the real food any justice. Will definitely visit again

Had a fantastic meal to celebrate a family birthday. The food was amazing and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Plenty of vegetarian options and also helpful with special diets. Have been here several times. Can be expensive but don't over order because the meals are enormous. They do supply containers if you do not finish and want to take food home

I love a meze whether Turkish or Greek. I have been to lots all over Kent and Essex, this is number 1! Large portions and reasonably priced. The only downside I have for this restaurant is not the restaurant it's the parking, being on a busy high street it's hard to park anywhere This place is a must.

Decided to visit on a Wednesday night with my daughter on last day before she returned to university. There was no Eat Out to Help Out but it was packed. A really lively atmosphere with a very friendly DJ playing some ancient tunes. Plenty to drink including cocktails. We had a great night. Just like the 2 belly dancers, the food was delicious.

A trip to the Greek Meze is always fun The atmosphere has been busy and lively every time I've visited. The food is okay (lacks an authentic Greek taste) and service is good. Great place for a visit with friends.

Took my booking, gave formal confirmation through link sent by text. When I went in to confirm all was okay I was told they would have to move me to a ridiculously early booking as they were too busy. Clearly took a later booking for a bigger party and then pushed us out. Do not trust!

Great ambiance, nice cocktails and tasty food. Loved the chicken skewers and the chicken in creamy mushroom sauce. They have a shisha lounge opposite which the lovely waitress told us about. Sadly, we were told about it when we were paying the cheque. Will be back for it the next time

Tasty food, big portions, lots of choice of food, good value for money. Customer service always friendly. Weekends are lively with music and lights and weekdays are chill, for nice food but still has a buzz as often people are in here.
