Having worked up a good appetite we fancied an impromptu bite to eat for lunch. Almost ready to chew my arm off following a table availability wild goose chase, we ended up at Caroline Street’s Greek Village.
A sister restaurant to City Road’s SouvLike, Greek Village serves an almost identical menu of charcoal grill meat plates, wraps, salads and dips.
With an outside seating area and bifold doors, it’s the kind of airy spot I’m well into at the moment.
A pair of crisp Mythos lager (£3.50) tasted of Greek sunshine holidays.
A deceptively hefty Greek salad (£6.50) was loaded with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, black olives and red onion and topped with a good hunk of tangy feta, olive oil and a dusting of oregano.
Coarse hummus (£4) was big on chickpea flavour and served with slices of hot and squidgy griddled pitta.
A groaning board of mixed gyros (£9.90) hit the spot big time. Golden, crisp and tender fat-flecked shavings of chicken and pork were well-seasoned with rosemary and heaped onto crisp chips and soft pitta. Fresh mixed salad and and garlic honking tzatziki completed the very tasty dish.
We had a lovely and good value lunch at Greek Village. It’s a laid back city centre spot which fits the bill for a quick takeaway, light lunch or heftier feast.

Not recommended, my son and I visited this place on the day Wales played Italy in the six nations rugby. We looked at the nenue and went in via a long queue. When we got served we we informed that most of the meals were not being served and we ended up with a box of chips. With a light sprinkling of chicken gyros and spice. We did not expect this to be so terrible regarding value for money, the chips would have fed a family of 4 and the chicken was sparse. We were charged £12 each for basically a box of chips. This place really knows how to rip visitors off when attending large events. Awful experience and should have gone to Greggs next door
