The Real Greek St. Martin’s Lane serves Greek food at 54 St. Martin’s Lane, close to Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and the theatres of the West End. Its central dining room offers a convenient setting for lunch, dinner, a meal before a performance or a relaxed table shared with friends.
Cold meze include houmous, tzatziki, whipped spicy feta, dolmades and taramasalata with warm flatbread. Fried kalamari, lamb meatballs, spinach pie and courgette fritters add contrasting hot plates, encouraging diners to build the meal from several flavours and textures.
The grill produces souvlaki with chicken, pork, lamb, halloumi, aubergine, seafood and Greek sausage, dressed simply with olive oil, lemon and oregano. Moussaka, pastitsio, Greek salad and wraps filled with meat or vegetables, chips and sauce extend the menu beyond the individual skewers.
Set menus and sharing platters combine dips, bread, grilled dishes, salad and sides for an easy communal experience. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices are clearly represented, while Greek wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks complete a meal that can also be ordered for collection or delivery.
