The best Greek restaurants in Hove

Adelfia is technically just over the border from Hove on Preston Street and feels like stepping into a bustling family dining room. It's run by two brothers who cook the dishes they grew up with, serving a menu packed with traditional Greek comfort food, from meze and grilled meats to classics, as well as a cracking wine list. It's cosy, friendly, and the kind of place that feels like you're eating in the home of someone who loves feeding people.

Nostos on Holland Road in Hove brings a modern Greek approach inspired by the city of Thessaloniki, with a menu that balances traditional produce with lots of veggie dishes and some tasty grilled options. The ingredients are treated properly here, and the plates feel fresh rather than heavy, ideal for sharing. The wine list takes inspo from Greece while still offering a few familiar bottles.

Archipelagos on Western Road has been serving Hove for years with a menu that covers all the Greek staples, from souvlaki and meze to moussaka and daily fresh fish. Portions are generous, and the room is bright and coastal in a subtle way. Service is friendly and familiar, and prices remain reasonable. It's the definition of a go-to for an easy Greek dinner close to home.

Just beyond the Hove border in Portslade, GyrosMania has earned loyal fans thanks to its proper Greek gyros. The menu is brimming with soft pittas stuffed with slow-roasted pork or chicken gyros, fresh salads, chips, and creamy tzatziki, plus tortilla wraps and burgers if you're looking to switch things up. The Mania Box is a local favourite, loaded with three meats, salad, chips, and warm pitta. The mixed grill piles on gyros, souvlaki, halloumi, and loukaniko for sharing. Vegetarians are also well catered to, with options such as falafel, halloumi, and veggie biftekis.
