Reviewing a TOP RATED GREEK RESTAURANT!

After the early start on Friday, I've gone for a spot of lunch today in Guildford and headed down to the Meat The Greek which is known as the best takeaway in Guildford, they've recently built a restaurant so I thought I'd head down there and give it a go!

[@paulallwood6033]

I'm totally with you on the no menu idea. Surely having a physical menu, all the diners showing each other the options, flipping it over for desserts.....its all part of the experience! Just imagine 4 diners all sat staring at their phones for 5 minutes trying to decide ! Not what eating out should be about in my opinion 😕

[@Micah_Lal]

I agree mate. That's a good take

[@garfieldsmith332]

@@staycasual7203 Tied to that electronic lease. I deleted or inactivated a lot of apps that came with my cell phone. Do not add any apps. Cell phones is for emergency use only and I take it with me when out in the car. If I went to this place I would just say I do not have a cell phone and go elsewhere. Fast food joint, well I just look up at the 'menu board'.

[@neilmcdonald9164]

What ,Deserts like the Sahara?🤣🤔🎩

[@TCC1994]

As a Greek, a few things I would look out for: 1) If the food comes out in 5 minutes or less, it's not fresh at all. Greek restaurants (the good ones anyways) pride themselves on fresh food done simply. This seemed like an unfortunate case of the souvlakia being either made ahead of time and kept in heated storage, or it was pre-frozen. 2) If it doesn't feel like it's the Yia Yia's (grandmother's) recipe, it probably won't be nice. If you have never had Greek food before and you're wondering what a Greek grandmother's cooking tastes like, homely would be the best way to describe it. 3) If you see 'authentic' on the menu, run. Just run. No self-respecting Greek restaurant needs to upsell their food by saying it's authentic. There's a difference between genuinely authentic home cooked Greek food and a tourist trap, which is how this place comes across. I'm hoping you'll give Greek food another shot considering how favourable your review of Andy's near Camden was.

[@geebee6737]

I must be the only one left on the planet that leaves my phone at home when we go out for a meal , does this mean I wouldn't be able to eat there ? I don't take pictures of my food and post on the net while those around me struggle to hold a conversation because I'm busy with my imaginary friends in cyberspace 🤣 The meal looked okay and reasonably priced if it fed two but nor sure I'd want to participate in their electronic menu and money transfer system. Cash is king and part of the fine dining experience is perusing the menu with a drink and discussing with others your chosen option , the way this place operated that delight has been removed.

Looks like a high end fast food place more then a restaurant youd go to for a night out

[@garfieldsmith332]

My first impression also.

[@richardhowell5237]

That's pretty much exactly what it is. It began in a much smaller venue a couple of doors away from where it is now and only moved in to the larger premises at the end of last year. The prices have slowly crept up over the years without much significant change to the menu. If you view it is a fast food place it's decent, but now feels expensive. If you view it as a restaurant there are better options.

[@PotatoPirate123]

I’ve always been confused as to why Greek and Moroccan food is so expensive over here compared to, say, Indian restaurants, when it’s usually very cheap in the respective countries. It’s not like the any of the food is stupendously complicated. The local Greek near me is nothing *that* special but the mains are more expensive than the best curry house I know.

[@tilerman]

Im English and my wife is Greek and we have travelled extensively through out Greece and the islands. Some of the best food i have every eaten was off the beaten track, on little islands, in villages well away from any tourists and tourist prices. Simply cooked dishes with simple vegetables, amazing food. Helps my wife can speak Greek otherwise i'd be none the wiser. And your right, so expensive here which i can only put down to overheads.

[@annaclarke7643]

There is nothing on Gary’s plates, that I find that interesting. The food is not technically difficult to produce or very appetising. I could whip up a Greek salad very quickly and the accompaniments are just not worthy of a restaurant experience.

[@GaryEats]

I have to agree, the ingredients are not that expensive but always the cost is, on this occasion it actually in hindsight wasn’t worth the money

[@andyasia]

@@GaryEats I have commercial property near Guildford but never got into Guildford because the rents and thus the business rates are astronomical. They are to a level which, if not reset, will make it impossible to do business there. I live in Farnham, 15 minutes away and it is bad enough there but the costs are perhaps 50% those of Guildford.

[@nm9266]

A simple explanation. Greek food needs to be fresh and good quality. Indian food does not. The reason Indian food has so many spices is that traditionally it would cover up the flavour of less fresh ingredients.

[@tanagra2]

Thank you for this review. Walked past this restaurant, never tried it. Must admit the messing around with the App really puts me off. It feels like one day I will be served by a robot, then they have achieved their aim of making it devoid of authenticity and character. I would go there for the desert and that’s it I think.

I did a double take when I saw the opening scene of this vid, Gary lol I thought "That's Cote Brasserie on the corner behind him - that's my town!". I live about 5 mins walk from where you ate there, so am that way all the time. I sit in the castle and bowling grounds (maybe the most picturesque bowling ground in Britain) very often. You visited just between the last lot of flowers and the new being planted. It's really stunning when full of flowers! The town's lovely when you get used to it. I'm surprised people recommended Meat the Greek though. I think of it as just a basic fast food place. Ironically, over your right shoulder on the other side of the road is Theion Greek restaurant, and that's a considerable step up to say the least. Still, I'm glad you still had some enjoyment there. I have the take-away yeeros, and it's fine for what it is, to fill a gap. Cheers!

Keep in mind I have no Greek ancestry but my mom has a recipe for an orange sponge cake handed down from her mother, that is similar to that. Hers is baked "bund" style. The big difference though is that after the cake has cooled with the syrup, she pours orange juice over it liberally. This has the effect of dampening the sweetness and imparting that bit of citrussy tartness. In my totally biased opinion, that is totally the way to do it. (Dang it, now I am going to have to bake one this week!)

[@nickk6518]

Although I got roasted in a previous video for irrelevant comments, here are some fun facts: Guildford Castle was built in the late 11th Century, either by William or one of his Barons possibly, in part, because of the proximity of Guildford to the Pilgrim's Way. Nearby the castle is the former residence of the Dodgson family, one of whom is rather better known as Lewis Carrol. On such a nice day in Guildford, I hope Gary went up The Mount to see the grave of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and his sisters? Guildford is also the home town of George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury between 1611 and 1633. He attended the Royal Grammar School in Guildford and former students there include cricketer Bob Willis, Terry Jones (Head Boy) and J. J. Burnel, bass player for The Stranglers! In 1896, one of my cousins was baptised at St Nicolas (on the other side of the river at the bottom of the High Street) by Edward Hughes Dodgson (1876-1918), one of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's brothers.

Excellent review and filming. As an ex restauranteur, if my patrons had to scan a code for the menu and order I would feel as I had not done my job properly. I like a real menu. How times have changed. Big up Gary and cameraman.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and completely agree Raj

That Greek salad made me yearn for Corfu Gary!! Served along side some super fresh Calamari… that would be grand ❤

[@GaryEats]

That sounds like perfection 👌

[@josehall97]

Thank you Gary for another great review, we go to Greece 🇬🇷 a lot and love Greek food ❤️

[@GaryEats]

That’s so good to hear Jose 👌

Thank you Andy 👍

The trick to marinating chicken for souvlaki is to use very little salt. This leaves the meat more juicy. It can be salted after it has been grilled.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for the fantastic information 👌💯

Most wud say it looks dry then say it tastes dry even if it didnt but not gary he has no ego , if he makes a mistake he says it Many pretend to be decent gary just is i live a very difficult life and his videos really brighten my day

[@GaryEats]

That’s very kind to say, I do make mistakes and have to hold my hands up 🙌

[@stephenjames1992]

Well done on the chilli sauce as ever Gary

[@GaryEats]

I’m an idiot Stephen lol

[@gazbradster]

Great review as always Gaz and Lad, i love greek food and id give it an 8. The wife makes feta cheese and spinach pie which i could die for 😮

[@GaryEats]

That sounds absolutely fantastic Gaz 💯💯

[@NeilD_Videos]

I agree with you about menus. I much prefer to have a traditional menu where you can see a page or two of dishes at a time rather than having to scroll through it on a mobile.

[@GaryEats]

Yes a normal menu is a must

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Gary, Just the Salad and desert that looked good ! Ya Mas ! Thank you both for the video and good day from the U.S.A.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jerry I hope you’re well 🇺🇸🇺🇸👌

[@5hanesBoard]

It's great to see you swing by my home town. Meat The Greek is hugely popular here. We regularly place orders for delivery at the office. Regarding the negative comments here about pedestrians walking between the tables; Guildford Borough Council don't like footpaths being blocked by tables.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for the information 👌

[@garrysmout6095]

Having spent some time in Greece back in the 1980s I don’t remember there ever being ‘chilli’ heat in anything nor as a condiment. I take it that that is an addition for British tastes.

[@GaryEats]

I’d imagine it is Garry

[@RosieHarp]

Another well measured good review Gary. The feta Greek salad looks lovely, I'll just have that with the chips and a piece of the bread ☺️

[@GaryEats]

That’s what I love to order Rosie definitely the healthy option

[@pollatso]

Great shot of the menu great jog in as always not a patch on andys by a country mile..! Great content as always 👍👍🙏

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and agree nothing in comparison

[@roger5159]

Nice day out and a change of scenery in Guildford anyway Gary for you and the Cameraman!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Roger much appreciated

[@guildfordguy187]

Meet the Greek is a takeaway which now has moved into larger premises so you can sit in as its so popular, and rightly so as its great. I am in Greece right now and i cant find a better gyros. Its not a evening out ‘dining experience - Try ‘Theion’ which is directly opposite for that

[@GaryEats]

Gyros was excellent as I said in the review
