We are launching our very own Eat Out & This Donkey Will Help YOU Out initiative for the entire month of September, giving you great reason to catch-up (safely) with friends and loved ones while enjoying our great Greek food and warm Greek hospitality in our safe and welcoming Greek corner in Aldgate East, while still benefiting from a great deal!
We want you to experience your own Greek holiday every day of the week! As such every Monday to Wednesday in September you: get 50% OFF food and refreshments when dining in! (max. £10 per guest)

You shouldn't have to travel to Greece to enjoy an authentic Greek meal, so at Hungry Donkey, we provide our guests with a wholesome, traditional, and home-cooked Greek dining experience in the heart of London.

When you dine with us you will enjoy delicious Greek food, a welcoming Greek atmosphere, and true Geek hospitality!

*due to the 22:00 curfew last booking time is 21:00 allowing for a quick dinner.

Nice place for a fast and more casual dinner. The food is very good. However, in our case, we didn't know much about Greek food. In our oppinion, the team could have given more suport. Moreover, we felt like we had to order and decide everything fast. We felt a little bit unconfortable for that. But its a nice place.

The experience was great, the staff made you feel safe and helped you with whatever you needed. The service was quick and did not have to wait long to order, to be seated or for the food to arrive. We was not rushed. It was nice to see how they have adapted due to coronavirus as they had screens in between each table area, they had the track and trace barcode on the tables and they had barcodes for the menu and to pay at the table.

Friendly welcome on arrival. Seated quickly at a patio table once booking was confirmed. Drinks also arrived promptly and the cool beer was most welcome due to the hot weather. We had a selection of small plates with a salad, which were mostly delicious. The spinach and cheese filo pastry was a tad dry and heavy but the rest was really good. Woukd return!

Massively overpriced for what you get. Food was tasty enough and the service was OK if a bit slow, but the price is crazy considering the portions aren't at all large and the food is neither Michelin-starred nor AA rosette standard. Would not go back unless they revisit their pricing strategy!

We’ve eaten there now in past 2 weeks. Lovely food and staff. Only concern both times was the awful draft that the restaurant experiences because of layout and the large entrance door. Both times we’ve left feeling super cold. It’s lovely in the summer but we eat there with some trepidation in the winter. Can something be done to heat the place up more?? Hope so!! The only fault we could find . What we love: the wines, the fresh vine tomatoes, the lovely friendly service, and the food never disappoints from mezze nibbles and pittas to the meat to the desserts...
