Art’s Greek Cuisine is at 11 Market Street in central Leicester, offering a warm and approachable introduction to Greek and Mediterranean cooking. The menu is broad enough for a quick gyro or a larger meal built around starters, grilled dishes and shared platters.
Tzatziki, hummus, spicy feta, olives and stuffed vine leaves provide a familiar mezze-style opening. Gyros and kalamaki skewers come with pita, salad, fries and sauces, while mixed grills make it easy for two or more diners to sample several meats together.
Traditional dishes such as moussaka, pastitsio, gemista and slow-roasted lamb kleftiko add a home-style dimension beyond the street-food favourites. Grilled sea bream, prawn saganaki, Greek salads and vegetarian choices bring useful range to the menu.
Fresh ingredients and straightforward preparation underpin the restaurant’s style, with collection and delivery also available. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should check the current menu and confirm ingredients and kitchen preparation before ordering.
