About GRK Greek Kitchen and Bar

High Street’s home for big-table Greek feasting serves up sizzling saganaki, tender slow-cooked kleftiko, and warm pita piled beside rich taramosalata. Vintage 1960s Greek cinema flickers across the dining room wall while servers move between crowded tables like longtime family. Diners lean into the generous sharing banquets—with staff gladly boxing surplus skewers for home—before the kitchen sends out a surprise complimentary platter of walnut cake, baklava, and fresh watermelon.

  • Complimentary post-meal sweets: Tables receive an unprompted house platter of Greek cakes and crisp watermelon to wrap up the feast.
  • Family-style sharing banquets: Multi-course spread options at set prices keep group dinners straightforward, complete with takeaway boxes for extras.
  • Retro cinema projections: Classic 1960s Greek films projected onto the dining room sidewall set a lively, nostalgic backdrop.
