The ambiance at URBAN GREEK is warm and inviting, echoing the essence of Greek hospitality.

I’ve been here a few times now and the food is consistently amazing — proper Greek comfort food that’s full of flavour and just plain delicious. Honestly, one of my favourite spots to eat. The service though? On the slower side, even when it’s not busy. And while everyone’s polite, the vibe could definitely be more welcoming or enthusiastic. That said, the food keeps pulling me back. Just don’t come starving or in a hurry ;)

Very nice place. Amazing hospitable team. Delicious gyros and Greek home wine. We had a lovely time at your restaurant, thank you! One tiny note - our clothes after the dinner smelled gyros a lot! so maybe the exhaust could be made stronger

This is the best food I have ever eaten. It’s everything I like. The perfect balance of meat sauce and bread. I had the urban club XL. Life changing. Huge portion. Amazing price.

I came to visit for the women’s Euro game and stopped into this spot with some friends. The service is amazing and the food is so delicious. I wish I lived in Basel so I could come back all of the time.
