Very nice atmosphere and easy going vibe. Food was very good, had a meze platter for 2 and it was more than enough. The food is very well seasoned and deliver good bursts of flavor. Their olive bowl is a must add to the platter.

As Greek As It Gets deserves 10 stars - our meal here was hands down the best Greek food we have ever had!The service was exceptional and the staff was so friendly and suggested drinks and items from the menu that did not disappointed; and the owner came to check on us and find out if we enjoyed the meal and suggested items to try next time. The restaurant itself is lovely - beautifully decorated and cozy!As Greek As It Gets is definitely my new favourite restaurant in Pretoria!Follow @heloisetravels for more reviews and photos.

Staff wasnt friendly in the beginning but later warmed up to us. Some of the ornaments on the table was broken but other than that we had a really pleasant time. The food is decent for the price. LOVED the pita bread

After being closed throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, finally opened once again, its a relief because this was and still is one of the best Greek restaurant in the east. The food is great as the staff and chef remains the same under new ownership. The position of the restaurant in the park couldnt be better surrounded by lush green grass and trees. The bright colour, typical Greek decor inside out. The sofas outside along the walls are the best place to sit and enjoy the view and keep an eye on your pets as this place allows dogs.

Review №21

Venue, location and service is great and food is fresh. The food could be tastier as Greeks do. Overall lacked tons of lemon, garlic and herbs! Eg: I couldnt taste any lemon, garlic or herbs in the Tzatziki. The halloumi was a bit bland and could have been a better quality. The artichokes were in a strange creamy sauce instead of authentic lemon, olive oil & herb style. Feta and olives were mediocre quality. Potatoes and calamari meze were amazing. Service was amazing.

Great atmosphere and decor. Mains (in our group we had moussaka, pastitsio, kleftiko) were excellent and well priced. Good wine and drinks selection. Waiters and owners very friendly and accommodating. Desserts are good, just a bit overpriced when compared to the mains prices. Thank you for having us, we had a great time there relaxing and eating with friends!

Visited this restaurant on Sunday (27Oct) with family who frequent this place, food was fine but the service was awful! The heat inside was unbearable. The young blond manager sat in an office on the computer and did not keep her eye on things, the restaurant was not busy at all. Unfortunately first impression was nor a good one at all!

Review №87

Nice feel but portions too small and basic for price and did not really taste all that great considering the premuim price. Had issue with pos system not printing all line items and totals not adding up that took an hour to sort out as it was a combined bill for 5 couples. Very loud party like shouting from kitchen can be heard from bathroom. Limited beers (4) on menu and some were out of stock.

Review №88

Very much overpriced. Food was reasonable, although my befteki patty slightly raw. R 120 for a, mediocre at best, burger is not good value for money.Response of the owner is always a good indication of how compliments and criticism are absorbed. Does not seem owner will try to improve.
