Greek House

Set up by two brothers determined to share the flavours of their homeland, Greek House brings authentic Greek street food to the Selly Oak quarter of Birmingham. It has become a real local favourite, rated 4.9/5 from 133 Google reviews, with diners praising the warm, family-style welcome and the freshly griddled meats that arrive fast and full of flavour.

The heart of the menu is the wrap counter, where a generous Gyros Wrap comes packed with succulent meat, crisp salad and house tzatziki, sitting alongside souvlaki skewers, chargrilled lamb chops and bright Mediterranean salads. There is plenty here for plant-based eaters too, with vegetarian and vegan options built into the line-up rather than tacked on. Portions are hearty and the cooking leans on simple, quality ingredients, which is exactly why it has won over students and residents alike. For anyone in the south of the city craving honest Greek cooking to take away or have delivered, it is a standout little kitchen.
