    Have been at Birdman twice in the course of 8 months (October 2020 and May 2021) so had the opportunity to try different dishes (I assume they vary depending the seasonality of ingredients). The food is arguably some of the best food in the city center, especially since it’s located in a very touristic part of town (where the risk of being just average is high). The menu is limited, but the focus is on the quality of the ingredients. Unfortunately, during both visits some of the dishes we wanted to try were not available, which really limits you as the menu is small. Between the two visits, we tried several dishes from the menu that were available and overall they were very good. The meat-on-a-skewer dishes were exceptionally tasty, however the chicken felt on the overcooked side and the chunks really too big for a single bite. That was not the case for the rest of the meat skewers. Also, there were some issues with consistency: we ordered the same skewer twice and while first time round it was cooked to perfection, Second time round was cooked longer resulting in a much smaller (reduced/less juicy) outcome. There were some issues with the timing: when ordering as a group of 3 during the second visit, the two burgers came at the same time, but the skewers the 3rd person ordered started to arrive about 5-10 minutes later and not all of them came at the same time. This means that either two people get to watch their food go cold as they wait for the 3rd person’s food, or they start eating and the other person sits and watches. During the first visit, the skewers would be arriving at much better timing and they would be grouped. Also, while the bar seating setup is fine, the leg space under the tables is really too narrow for two people to sit side by side. While the food is overall really really good so, value for money in terms of quality, it but less so in terms of quantity and overall experience. It’s certainly going to Birdman once and be willing to spend the extra money, but I probably won’t go again given the inconsistencies in cooking and serving timings.

    Alright, let’s dive into this one. The food here is seriously intriguing. We’re talking fresh ideas that range from good to excellent. And they know how to work those ingredients, making sure they scream quality. Service? Well, that’s a standout. The staff brings a unique blend of friendliness and genuine attentiveness. No pretentious vibes, just good knowledge of the menu. But now, let’s address the elephant in the room - the location. The interior is a bit tight, and the exterior vibes are a bit rough due to the neighborhood. Garbage, potential pickpockets, and beggars do make an appearance. Look, you’re not showing up for the scenery. And that plays a part in the prices. The food quality? No complaints there. But the higher prices? Hmm, not so justified. So, full disclosure time. Maybe I was too quick on the draw with those five stars. But here’s the kicker: I’ll be coming back. Why? The food and the attentive service are the real deal. Call it a gut decision. So, 5 stars it is, even if it’s not the full package in every aspect.

    Went to this place after about two years of listening some friends saying how great this restaurant is, but unfortunately our high expectations were not met… The stuff was great and everybody was very friendly and polite and did their best. But the food is another story and far from great… we tried many different things, some were bad, some were ok, some were good, but only the gyoza beef was great…! If I go again it will only be for cocktails (they were great) and for gyoza beef…! As a restaurant it feels a bit dirty and definitely doesn’t meat the standards for its price tag…(110 euros for two people)

    The best staff I have met in Athens. They have very good Asian food and also you can find the drinks with alcohol. Especially they have a lot of Japanese whiskies on their menu. The lady who take care of us (her name is Vasia), if you go to this place you need to find her. We have never seen that much friendly staff in Athens as more than her.

    One of the best non-Greek cuisine restaurants you can experience in Athens. Everything we ordered was great. High quality meat and amazing flavors. Need to go back again to try everything…

    It's very hot inside. If we had known this, we could have chosen more appropriate clothes. The food was very delicious . We were misled on our first choice of sake. It was very sweet. If I come to Athens again, I would like to go again.

    Just WOW. This place is amazing. My family of 8 reserved two tables for 4 people each for lunch, and they accommodated us in one outdoor table. The service is incredible. All waiters are so nice, and explain everything. Thoughtful and careful of each detail. The food is even better! I posted some pictures for inspiration, but everything was great! Will definitely come back!!

    This place was off the chain and best joint I ate at in Athens. Seriously the food was divine and the drinks were unreal. What also tipped the scales was the cool dj flipping records and dropping absolute bangers (chilled bangers). Seriously though, I was fuming it was my last night otherwise I would have gone every night of my stay. CHECK THIS PLACE you won’t regret it!

  • 5/5 Rafi T. 3 years ago on Google
    What can I say? 10/10 or 5 from 5 this place is amazing. Serving outstanding food from japan in an urban way. And the watermelon cocktail was perfect! All dishes were amazing!

    The beef tataki wasn't fresh as I had diarrhea after eating. The sauce was strong and has covered the original taste of the beef. The chicken was nice.. duck isn't nice without their sauce. I don't think a restaurant that isn't willing to take feedback is a good restaurant.

    This place is special. Capital S Special. Every single thing we've ever ordered has been prepared to perfection - and we've been there 5 or 6 times now. We've been in there in the afternoon and in the evening and they've never had an off night. The cocktails are inventive and unique (in a good way) and the food is always superb. Highly recommended.

    It meets all the expectation. Is it expensive? YES. Is it worth? OH YES The food is mouthwatering and I hope I will be able to go there again. The waiter who served me, I don't know the name, was very attentive and helpful. Each dish was carefully explained. A little clunky, but it only made the experience more enjoyable.

    Food was very delicious, service was great! Location is tight but has a great vibe, music is nice, the dj was playing O.C. - Time’s Up as we walked in. I think the drinks are overpriced, I paid 20€ for 1 small glass of wine, at many other restaurants in Athens you get a same tasting house wine for 2.50€. But next time I will just drink water and eat more :-)

    Birdman is located in the heart of Athens, near Syntagma Square. It’s a Japanese gastro bar featuring mostly meat dishes. Flavors are Japanese. Guests can seat both inside and outside in the busy street. I would recommend the bar. Best plates: the Sando, tartare, tataki, wagyu grill PS: Take into account that Birdman is not cheap. However, is worth the money!

  • 3/5 Tacky H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is located next to a very busy and noisy road. We were advised by the waiter to protect our valuables, due to thefts, which was nice. We were sitted in a very tiny table with very limited space unfortunately. The waiter was polite and took enough time to explain the menu details. We decided to try some beef Gyoza and Wagyu bites. It took quite some time before the Gyoza arrived, which is understandable as it is freshly made while the rest of the dishes followed one by one slowly. Everything was tasty, properly cooked and offered a unique flavour. The portions were extremely small though and the prices didn't reflect the size. 2 pieces of beef sushi that was smaller than my thumb cost 8 euros. All in all, the food is high quality but also high price for the amount given and in a bad location. There are better choices just around the corner really.

    Excellent katsu burger, the pickled vegetables & crispy katsu chicken were delicious! Plus the edamame was perfect, super tasty and well seasoned. Would definitely recommend if you’re wanting a quick Japanese street food fix.

    Great casual Japanese pub - food place! Located on a quiet back street at the heart of Athens. Vibrant people of all ages contribute to the leisure style lunch, dinner, drink or quick bite. Staff is eager and polite yet professional. Excellent wine, drinks and cocktail list! Highly recommended! +++

    Excellent food and drinks. Very popular restaurant, so make a reservation in advance. Service is ok, it can be very slow. We were a big group so we ordered quite a lot from the menu but my absolute favourite were the tataki and ibérico Katsu. The sitting is a little uncomfortable and receiving the food took way longer than expected compared to what has been experienced in other restaurants. Drinks are very very good as well - go for the martini only if you like very very strong drinks. If not, the one with cucumber or the spritz are very good options!

  • 4/5 zantoichi 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice food, with attention to detail. But, as is, seemingly, the norm in "fine dining", you get small portions which are rather expensive. Not my style. Nonetheless, the place holds a Michelin plate recommendation, and rightfully so. The food is of great quality and taste, and the staff are very helpful. Smack in the center of Athens.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice experience with flavors and combinations that you may not have tried .. at night the atmosphere is reminiscent of a bar (Good music) something that I really liked (Original) Πολύ όμορφη εμπειρία με γεύσεις και συνδιασμους που ενδεχομενως δεν έχεις δοκιμάσει.. το βράδυ η ατμοσφαιρα θυμίζει μπαρ (Καλή μουσικη) κάτι που εμένα μου αρεσε πολυ

    A little treasure in the city center. Birdman is a Japanese pub with high quality food which is affected from Japan. Meat is organic and free ranged and with the combination of Japanese ingredients it is something surprisingly delicious!!! We tasted a lot of dishes and it’s really difficult to decide the best. Although do not miss Katsu and Japanese carbonara!!! We had a great time and we will go back for sure!

    Great, unique place for a delicious break during the day. Central location makes me want to visit this place whenever I'm in town. Fantastic grilled meat with different fresh and original taste. Sandwich Sando with pork and pickled cabbage, also perfectly cooked and so yummy rice that I could eat on its own. Small place but suitable for lunch with your friend or early dinner if you like to make a change from souvlaki :-)Nice music and friendly staff. For sure I will be back. PS. Try plum wine sweet and so aromatic .

  • 1/5 Alexandre N. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place with good ideas but the service, the food and the wine card is just not working. Some amazing wine on the little list (Ligas) but absolutely nothing cool and fun by the glass, only clean and conservative stuff, very boring. The food is overpriced even if they use fresh and local produce. The finished products in your plate are not as tasty like it should be. The ingredients are the right one but again, it doesn't work. Dry, overcooked, no flavor. The service is impersonal, you are a number. Only the lovely hostess has a smile and seems to have a bit of fun. Forget the bartender and the lined cook, they don't care. Instead make yourself a favor, go at Heteroclyto for your daily fix of natural wine, amazing selection at honest price(also for take away) and then find yourself a proper local bistro outside this area and you'll be happier at the end. Ho! and also, if you would like to buy a bottle there to take away it's the same price as if you drink it there, it doesn't make sense… Sorry guys but sometimes IG is definitely WRONG!

    This is not your average Japanese restaurant, it’s a whole different experience. The service was excellent, the waiter went through the whole menu and explained the philosophy of the restaurant. He also gave us a heads up that it would take approximately 20’ for the dishes to be prepared. My favorite dish was the beef wagyu gyoza! Everyone were super friendly. The dessert was amazing as well! I would love to visit again!

  • 5/5 Kat t. 5 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    An absolutely lovely spot in central Athens with delicious food. The space is super small so you will definitely need to book a table before attempting to go. They had a lot of options of small plates to try and you should not miss for the life of you the pork sando and their beef nigiris. The quality of the food was excellent and the cocktails were very different yet so delicious. We had an absolute blast. The staff was knowledgeable of the menu and they could make very food recommendations.

    Had lunch at the birdman, everything was top notch. The cocktails where super nice . Nigiri and tartar very tasty but the mutton blew me away. Also the liver was cooked to perfection. Looking forward to visit again.

  • 5/5 Jakub Czaja (. 1 year ago on Google
    Totally great, unorthodox japanese grill pub. Very good service with helpful waiters, absolutely great food, and one of the best burger I've ever had occasion to eat. If i will be again in Athens, I'll definitely will be there again.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best meal we had in Greece. Probably a top 5 all time! We had the pork sandwich, charred broccoli, steak tartare, grilled duck skewer, grilled steak skewer and steak sushi with Wasabi. Each dish was outstanding. Do not miss this place, I'll be back next time in Athens.

    Finally made it to the only Japanese Yakitori restaurant in town. Happy with chicken skin, chicken meatball and smash burger. The other dishes are just okay. Will come back again just for the chicken skin.

  • 4/5 Nikos M. 1 year ago on Google
    So fresh, so tasty, so unique but customers reception seems to be below average. Many empty tables outside, 2 times, but you cannot sit due to reservations which did not arrive. Never!

  • 4/5 Georgios G. 3 years ago on Google
    Birdman is a great choice to combine drinks and finger-food sized portions following work or a stroll in down-town Athens. Once you manage to bypass menu complexity (due to Japanese elements that might be unfamiliar in first visit) you will experience plenty options of skewers and bowls served in meze/tapas fashion. There might have been some execution mishaps but it was a great experience overall. Don’t forget to ask for possible out-of-menu dishes, we found some gems during our last visit. Friendly service and punctuality of booking is a big plus.

    Great experience. Good food. We ate at the front of the bar and it was really entertaining. The staff is helping you out, with the menu and drinks. Very friendly. When you're in Athens, big big big recommended !!! Food is delicious. Secret menu. If available, ask for Ramen. Its not on the menu. But they have it, if you're lucky! Atmosphere is unique. People there are great. Its a bit expensive, but worth it. Its usually full booked, so I recommend to reserve a few days earlier.

  • 5/5 Anya Z. 3 years ago on Google
    What a great place! GOOD VIBES. I think we ordered the whole menu:) or at least we tried. The food was delicious, everything we tried. The service was fast and polite. Affordable prices and nice sake that you can order by glass.

  • 5/5 Walter N. 3 years ago on Google
    Had known of this place for a while and only recently had the opportunity to dine here. On offer are numerous small tapas type of meat dishes, to cater for all meat-eaters tastes. There is a wide variety of small cuts, cooked to perfection. I highly recommend a visit here for those who are not scared to try out something more than a typical filet meat. The only reason for the 4 stars (instead of 5) is because some of the menu options were not available (which, in itself is not a problem - prefer to not have something available vs. having it but not being top quality) and from those that we did sample, the second order was not consistently cooked to perfection as in the first order: was overcooked, so less juicy, less tasty, less fatty, and less volume. Otherwise, this is a must for any self respecting meat eater, especially those who follow a keto diet.

  • 5/5 Lampros K. 1 year ago on Google
    Birdman is the best Japanese pub and grill in Athens! The atmosphere and the experience is great. You seat in the bar overlooking at the kitchen and the preparation of the premium quality food. I would definitely recommend a visit and do not forget to book a table one week prior to your visit. Do not forget to taste YAKITORI. It is delicious chef's selection TORI served with sleamed rice.

  • 5/5 Oliver B. 1 year ago on Google
    First off, it was a very nice dining experience. Not a typical Japanese restaurant, they re-imagine some dishes and bring something new to the table. Very tasty food with quality and good presentation and a special mention about their list of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (Great Cocktails, try the Negroni). Prices are high which is something you would expect at this level. It dinner there was more about experiencing new tastes than satisfying one's hunger 😋. Dinner for 4 people would set you back around 30 euros per person this included drinks. The waiters are very eager and helpful with a good knowledge of the menu. The food was delayed a bit. Probably due to large volume of customers and the size of the kitchen. Only down side that the seating was very uncomfortable and some foods although good quality were more plain than expected. The location is very nice, it is a beautiful little restaurant but it's hard to find parking. Great job!

  • 5/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    An experience that did not disappoint although overpriced. Went to Birdman not sure how to feel about a yakitori address in Athens. It did not disappoint. The skewers are a must and you will see pretty quickly by the menu that it’s the place’s specialty. We tried a mix of different skewers and they were all great, but honestly not very filling. The sando and the gyoza were also great and the bar setup of the place is cool as you get to see the chefs in action. Definitely a must try in Athens when you get tired of too much Greek food😉

  • 5/5 Henrik H. 1 year ago on Google
    cool/casual bar in the heart of Athens.. definitely worth waiting for a seat and a snack from the grill which offers a wide variety of traditional yakitori with a modern twist. Hearts, kidneys, skin and all the good stuff! Well curated wine and drinks menu! Worth a detour! ⭐️

  • 5/5 Daphne C. 10 months ago on Google
    Always a good dinner selection for an Athenian night! Cocktails are top notch The Gyozas - best I had Get a lot of the nigiri ones- so tasty And if you go for the ‘skewers’ dare to take from the non-chicken list, we found the chicken ones a bit boring compared to the duck and other meat options which were to die for!

  • 4/5 Eden 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is definitely unique and tasty. However, the portions are small and we left hungry. It is also pricey compared to other places in the city. We got 5 dishes and it came out to €40. The one thing that is definitely worth the money is the KEBAB, which was super soft and tender. The tar tar was also very nice!!

  • 4/5 Theodoros F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very interesting culinary experience. Original idea for Athens, a Japanese pub concept. High quality ingredients, tasty (mostly meat based) dishes, helpful staff. A bit on the pricy side but would visit again.

  • 5/5 Diell B. 11 months ago on Google
    The best katsu I’ve ever had and one of the best dining experiences in Athens. Absolutely incredible, it makes me sad I don’t have this type of restaurant close by so I can enjoy this type of incredible food.

  • 4/5 James 8 months ago on Google
    Good to have tried this place but a little underwhelmed by the food. We tried edamame, udon ‘carbonara’, gyoza, and an assortment of chicken yakitori with different cuts of meat - flavours were not as mind blowing as the description on the menu. All dishes were very salty. Had a great cocktail though. Service attentive. Quite pricey overall. Outdoor dining area right on street - can be a bit noisy.

  • 5/5 Iago R. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely place with a nice selection of natural wines. Only thing is that I chose a bottle of wine from their bar and the waiter didn’t mention that it costed 60 euros. I also work in a wine bar and I think as a rule if a bottle costs more than 30 euros its essential to give a heads up to the client as a matter of principle. Apart from that everything was lovely.

  • 4/5 Andreas R. 7 months ago on Google
    We loved the food. Exciting flavours. Perhaps 5 of 8 dishes were quite outstanding. Table service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The only gripe was booking 3 days in advance for a Sunday evening (they called on the eve to reconfirm) and being assigned high stools on a shared table. No thank you. It would have been more professional to warn us in advance - we would have cancelled. Thankfully they had a second option of an outdoor table at the back of the restaurant which worked out fine. Will return but define where we sit with our booking next time. Expensive for Greece but worth it (assuming acceptable seating).

    An interesting concept, at least for the standards of Athens... However overpriced for what they offer... Service is mediocre... To have a place in the center of Athens, offering something supposedely special, does not mean you can act superficially or like a "psonio" as we say it in Greek...

    (Translated by Google) Probably the most beautiful place in Athens in every way and maybe more beautiful than the store that has "copied" - inspired (tokyo record bar in New York). The burger is just amazing, the ramen want a little work and everything else is perfect. (Original) Ίσως το πιο ωραίο μέρος στην Αθήνα από κάθε άποψη και ίσως πιο ωραίο και από το μαγαζί που έχει "αντιγράψει" - εμπνευστεί (tokyo record bar στην Νέα Υόρκη). Το burger του just amazing, τα ramen θέλουν λίγο δουλειά ακόμα και όλα τα υπόλοιπα άψογα.

    Best Burger in town, change my mind! When you're a whiskey and meat lover there is no other place to hang out other than Birdman!

    (Translated by Google) The best burger in Athens by far !!! (Original) Το καλύτερο burger της Αθήνας με διαφορά!!!

    Surprise of the night. Sound this place spontaneously and didn't regret anything. Innovative, japanese style food with interesting twists. The meat stuff is in skewers with lots of flavors. Everything was delicious 😋. Staff was also friendly. Normally you should book in advance...

    An explosion of refined flavors! Though watch out; you will need to order many small dishes

    These people know what they’re doing. And it’s so refreshing. Amazing job!

    It was nice food, but I felt it is overrated. We were seated right next to a loud speaker. The wine we ordered was a different one, then we were given. (Different bottle used)

  • 5/5 Natasha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting concept and place. The scallop yakitori and chicken sando were delicious, but I specially loved the beef gyozas - perfectly browned - and the white natural Greek wine that was recommended to us. All in all a great experience. Would love to go back and taste some dishes!

    Mediocre food, pricey

    One more time, a really nice burger in Athens. Good vibe spot.

  • 5/5 Francis T. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Pricey. Not many seats. Worth the try, good tasting food. Couple sandwiches and a handful of skewers and a couple drinks can easily go over 50 euros.

    I have to say I was totally blown away from this place on every single level from the attentiveness of our waiter Niko, the food, the quality, the drinks everything!!!! Literally ordered almost the whole menu X 2 and in some cases X 3. Everything was so amazing and nothing was left over that's how good it was I most definitely am going to go back again and again. Best recommendation I can make for anyone order everything it's super good and very well priced. I would say to the point that this little Japanese Pub should be an example to follow and copy.

    The most delicious Japanese food I’ve ever tasted. The staff was polite and the menu extremely special. Highly recommended!!

  • 4/5 Λευτέρης �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quality food (birdman smash) although quite expensive for less than 200gr minced meat. It cost € 12.5 and I ate it in 4 bites. I would take it again though (Original) Ποιοτικό φαγητό (birdman smash) αν και αρκετά ακριβό για λιγότερο από 200gr κιμά. Κόστισε 12,5€ και το έφαγα σε 4 μπουκιες. Θα το ξανάπαιρνα όμως

    Absolutely floored by this Japanese restaurant, Birdman - Japanese Pub + Grill. All the beef was wagyu, the spare ribs were fantastic, the beef nagiri was amazing, and on and on. Soooooo good.

  • 4/5 Ema 2 years ago on Google
    As a Japanese I wouldn’t say it’s the most authentic Japanese food, but if you are craving Japanese food they have some good yakitori (skewers) and meat sushi. I cannot approve of their rice though…it was pretty hard (maybe not fresh) It would be better if they use a better quality rice cooker or rice🍚

    Our favourite place in Athens. Great sashimi meat and the grilled items are delicious. Service is good. A must stop for non-Greek food in Athens.

  • 3/5 Ricart R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It seems to be one of the trendiest places in Athens and they have to say no to people passing by. The food is quite good and the service attentive and pleasant. The price is excessive for Greece, almost € 40 per person for a very normal dinner. Pretentious. I would not go back. (Original) Sembla que és un dels llocs de moda d’Atenes i han de dir que no contínuament a gent que hi passa pel davant. El menjar és bastant bo i el servei atent i agradable. El preu és excessiu per Grècia, gairebé 40€ per persona per un sopar molt normalet. Pretenciós. No hi tornaria.

    Delicious food and great service, I will return again and again

    A true gem in a very hip spot downtown Athens. The chef -Ari Vezene- nailed it once again! Everything on the menu is AAA+++
