4.7 / 5.0(6,201 reviews)

All of the restaurant workers were extremely friendly and the food was exceptional. We ordered a catch of the day white grouper along with a fried calamari as an appetizer. Our stomachs were way too full for dessert so we just asked for the bill and the waiter brought us two small portions of cheese cake and 2 lemon shots. The cheesecake was one of the best I’ve ever had and I found the offer to be very thoughtful. Highly recommend this restaurant. My favourite meal in Athens and one of my favourite meals ever. Everything we had was just such good quality. We had really friendly service and the waiters were confident to give recommendations as the food quality was so good. They had awards on the walls and I can see why! Would definitely recommend here if you’re visiting Athens. It’s around the acropolis museum, great value taking into account the location, service food quality and even portion that you get. Pork souvlaki and sea bass are both so good! They have catch of the day 68€ for 2people but we didn’t order that this time. Homemade cheesecake made their chef and limoncello on the house after meal🥺 The cheesecake is so good as well, it’s more gelatinous, similar to flan. Service is great, Vasilis especially. Felt like he is either owner/manager. Overall really satisfied!!

This place is overrated I didnt like the service I dont like waitresses talking to loud we went for the moussaka I think thay still have a lot more to learn a lot of oil was drippping from it and the taste didnt feel good we took 2 plates and nob of them was finished The pasta was not bad i give it 8/10 (it was the best meal) The shrimp is overcooked The chicken breast was over grilled it was like eating gum! The greek salad was ok freshly cut they cant let it go bad, no matter how they do it!

It is a great spot for authentic Greek food with a cozy vibe. The tzatziki was super fresh, the calamari perfectly crispy, and the saganaki rich and cheesy. The grilled fish was tender and full of flavor, but the prawns in mushroom cream sauce stole the show, so good. We finished with galaktoboureko with ice cream, both amazing. Overall, delicious food, great portions, and definitely worth a visit if you’re craving real Greek flavors.
