The Real Greek has been a favourite among locals for seven years

A Greek restaurant in Muswell Hill is set to close its doors after being a staple of the high street for seven years.

The Real Greek, which is a restaurant chain, announced the closure of its Muswell Hill branch with a sign on its door which reads: “The Real Greek Muswell Hill is now permanently closed.”

“Thank you for your cherished support and loyalty over the years.”

A number of closures have struck Muswell Hill Broadway over the past year, including YUE and the Hedgehog Cafe.
