    It feels like a tavern from the 1970s. The food, the decor and the service are warm and give you a sense of comfort. They are able to help if you have food allergies, offering alternatives. A must visit. The produce used is excellent quality, and you can taste it in everything you order - don't miss out on the sourdough bread! Prices are beyond reasonable, both for the quality and quantity in each dish.

    Very authentic Greek restaurant with only meat dishes ( no fish dishes offered). Very friendly staff and prompt services. The only downside is a tiny table for 3 of us to sit down and enjoy dining. As we ordered so many dishes to share, it was difficult to put everything on the table.

    Visited the place due to ratings from the internet. Nothing special food wise. Last but not least, rude stuff.

    Delicious greek food, but not boringly traditional! Staff was very friendly and service was quick. There are several areas but we sat on the terrace which was really nice and felt like we were on an island!

    Great variety of tasty home-made food served in traditional old home serving plates. The venue is exquisite, simple and varied: in-doors, terrace, street... kind of homey I would say. And the staff.... don't ask: friendly, sociable, engaging.

    Visited twice already this week, food was delicious and served in traditional greek plates. The price was pocket friendly, and the staff were all nice. My favorites were the beefteki, and the grilled pork belly - tender, nicely cooked.

    Very busy spot, quick service and delicious food. The menu was a bit difficult to understand for me but nevertheless the food made up for it. The staff was very nice too. My only complaint would be the water jar it was not clean, I order a bottle water.

    Amazing representation of old time Athenian tavern. Great variety combining quality and quantity in good price. Highly recommended, the semisweet wine and the burger of ship.

    One of the best restaurants I have visited in Athens. There are 3 floors of seating, including the terrace which literally the decoration transfer you to another era, closer to 1950’s. The menu is different every day which can only be a good sign. Many options of small plates including many vegetarian options. Semi-sweet wine was going down too quickly, it was really good. We were challenged by the waiter that we ordered too much but we actually managed. I will be back, the music, the food, the service and atmosphere were all top notch, so I cannot recommend it enough.

  • 2/5 w m. 11 months ago on Google
    We went for lunch, the place was empty and it was utterly disappointing. The Dakos salad was tasteless. Not the husk bread, nor the tomatoes has any taste. No seasoning, nothing. Tha pasta with smoked chicken was passable. The service was good and they gave some sweets from the house.

  • 5/5 Kailee R. 4 years ago on Google
    As a year of living in Chalandri has come to a close, I cannot recommend Mpakalotaverna enough. This place has become our “food home” for many reasons. The food is phenomenal, price and quality wise. Everything is so fresh and the servers always have good suggestions. But our favorite aspect of this place is the welcoming staff. They will do everything to make sure your short time with them is perfect. Do not overlook this taverna, it is a must visit.

  • 5/5 Asrin Yigit B. 5 months ago on Google
    This is my go-to taverna to bring friends/tourists the first time they come to visit me! Just been there recently and nice to see that it wasn’t changed! The new kremmedipita was very nice and so were the rest of the mezedes. The people were super friendly but the service felt a bit slow/chaotic

  • 5/5 Thomas V. 5 months ago on Google
    Superb Greek food. I was expecting good food, but was blown away by how good a 'simple' sausage and pork could caste. Hospitality and great setting from the start. Feat and everything else all made of high quality ingredients. We got some small cake for dessert for free on top. Great evening. I'll be back!

  • 3/5 Apostolos P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to experience a Greek night out while visiting Athens. The only downside is they do not take reservations, since the place works on a first come first served policy. When it gets too busy you might have to wait a bit as the service is a bit slow. Give it a go!

  • 5/5 George Kordas - P. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a friendly taverna located in Chalandri in a beautiful street and it is great for a night out with some friends or even a typical afternoon meal. The menu has many choices, vegetarian also. The staff is very helpful and organized and they serve you very fast. The atmosphere is great esp ciallu aldyring the night when everyone is having fun. They serve you also a "kerasma" at the end most of the times something sweet like halva.

  • 3/5 Katerina T. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is made to look like an old tavern in the centre of an old town/village which makes it different and unique. That is its strongest feature. Service was good but there is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to the food...One the other hand , you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Alexandru B. 9 months ago on Google
    Probably our fifth visit here. Good food at affordable prices, good location to the city center, you really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. We tried out most of the grilled options and some of the veggie salads. All were delicious. Also, the raki they served there was spot on. We also appreciated the dessert at the end.

  • 5/5 Michail D. 1 year ago on Google
    Frankly, amaaazing food!!! We ordered many things (fava, potatoes, graviera, florinis peppers, beef burgers, stuffed mushroums) and we liked everything. The problem is that we ate too much and we could barely walk back home. The funny thing is that we found this place out of pure luck while walking through the center of Chalandri. Also the prices are decent... Bravo for the good job.

  • 2/5 Stergios D. 5 years ago on Google
    + traditional Greek menu and atmosphere; friendly staff - we had 50’ in our disposal and asked when we sat if it’s enough, they reassured us it’s going to be okay; 30’ later we got our cold starter (Fava, no prep needed), and at 45’ we were told our hot starter will need another 15’ because it’s Saturday night :), so we had to cancel. - smoking is allowed

  • 5/5 Сергей �. 1 year ago on Google
    We were occasionally near to Mpakalotaverna and decide to have a dinner there. Now this one of our favorite place to eat. Dishes were such delicious and various. You could eat a lot of different food, not just grill as is most part of places for tourists only. As well atmosphere is very nice. You could found a lot of interesting thing as a decoration inside.

  • 5/5 Petra P. 1 year ago on Google
    Traditional taverna, you can feel the geek spirit here. I would definitely return.

    (Translated by Google) Perfect choice for food in Chalandri with very good prices and good quality. I singled out its hot cheese, which is a piece of feta cheese with hot pepper, not the classic supermarket ointment. At the end they serve sweets. Its terrace is beautiful but is only recommended for the evening as it does not have a sun visor. Unfortunately he does not accept reservations. (Original) Άψογη επιλογή για φαγητό στο Χαλάνδρι με πολύ καλές τιμές και καλή ποιότητα. Ξεχώρισα την τυροκαυτερη του που είναι κομματάκι φέτας με καυτερή πιπεριά, όχι η κλασική αλοιφή του σούπερ μάρκετ. Στο τέλος σερβίρουν γλυκάκι. Η ταράτσα του είναι πανέμορφη αλλά συστήνεται μόνο για βράδυ καθώς δεν έχει σκεπαστρο για τον ήλιο. Δυστυχώς δεν δέχεται κρατήσεις.
