Why Travelers Love Efcharis restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Started out with the halloumi, which was great. Also got the zucchini, which was soggy. Would not recommend. For our main course we got the chicken souvlaki which was nice and juicy with a good flavor. We also got Moussaka, which I would not recommend. The dessert was complimentary, and it was good. It tasted like some kind of orange breaded dessert. I liked it. Overall not a bad place to grab some food, if you’re in the area. Efcharis Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and friendly service, but the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dishes looked good but lacked strong flavor, and overall the taste was a bit underwhelming compared to other spots nearby. It’s also on the pricey side for what you get, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. Not a bad place to sit and enjoy the area, but the food could definitely be more flavorful and better value for the price. I had some lunch here today and loved the Musakhan and chicken salad. The musakhan was delicious with little taste of cinnamon and I just loved it! The service was fast and attentive. My husband loved the complimentary desert - some traditional cakes very much. Loved the lights and vibes on the ceiling thus would love to come back here for dinner again.

The food was really tasty and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. We ordered a lot of meat and a Greek salad — the portions were huge! The meat platter was definitely enough for four people, and we even took some home. The staff was friendly, but at the beginning it took quite a while before we were seated, which was a bit confusing. At the end, they brought us a complimentary dessert, which was delicious, such a nice gesture! Thank you for a lovely evening.

A typical restaurant for tourists in the heart of the city at the foot of the Acropolis. The portions are very generous so you can eat well, but the fact is that the food could be much better. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the biggest drawback is the crowded tables in the outdoor part of the restaurant.
