    We made a reservation today (Sunday) for six. A Great Greek restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. There are specialty dishes I can advise and they add a little spectacle fire. All dishes were warm, no flaws. Waiters were very friendly. So if you're in the neighbourhood looking for a good restaurant, this one is very good. Prices are normal. We've had a good time. Would definitely come back. They also have awesome drinks. Like very nice.

    A brilliant restaurant, great atmosphere, tasty food and friendly, efficient service. Went here with 5 friends for an evening meal whilst on a weekend away. It was pretty busy but they found us a table out the back which was fine. We had a great time, enjoyed the food and it was very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

    Nice cozy little Greek restaurant. Food is delicious, if you choose smartly. I had a lamb shank, and it was amazing. Some of the options at next tables looked disappointing, but others looked great. The waiter was not too helpful in making a choice from the menu, so it's all your luck :)

  • 3/5 Wobster T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Well ok but way too much money for what you get. Glass of wine: 6eu. Pulpo plate (small portion, bite or 3): 15 eu (Original) Wel ok maar veel te veel geld voor wat je krijgt. Glas wijn :6eu. Bordje pulpo (kleine portie, hap of 3) : 15 eu

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately one of the worst Greek restaurants I have ever eaten, the calamaris and feta were just the rubber, the salad came out of a bag and the price really wasn't ok. Think pita level only you pay a lot more. Regrettable (Original) Helaas 1 van de slechtste Griekse restaurants waar ik ooit gegeten heb, de calamaris en feta waren precies de rubber, de salade kwam uit een zakje en de prijs was echt niet ok. Denk niveau pitazaak alleen betaal je wel een stuk meer. Spijtig

  • 5/5 Emmanuelle B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super good food, very friendly and attentive service, on the contrary to what is stated earlier, we did not have to wait long for our food and dishes certainly sufficient. Price / quality a winner! Recommended! (Original) Super lekker gegeten, heel vriendelijke en attente bediening, in tegendeel tot wat eerder staat, hebben wij niet lang moeten wachten op ons eten en schotels zeker voldoende. Prijs/kwaliteit een topper! Een aanrader!

  • 4/5 Aline 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice and trendy case. Although very friendly service, a bit slow. Italian-Mediterranean rather than Mediterranean. Tasty and refined (Original) Leuk en trendy zaak. Hoewel heel vriendelijke bediening, wel wat traag. Eerder Italiaans-mediteraanse dan mediterraans. Wel lekker en verfijnd

  • 4/5 Andres G. 4 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Paul M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pulpo slices swimming in a tasteless puree (instead of grilled crispy in a salad). Burata, so salted that it can hardly be tasted. Has nothing to do with Mediterranean preparations. No quality by price. Don't go there, there are better places in Ghent. (Original) Pulpo schijfjes zwemmend in een smaakloze puree (in plaats van krokant gegrild in een slaatje). Burata, zo gezouten dat ie nauwelijks te smaken is. Heeft niets te maken met mediterane bereidingen. Geen kwaliteit naar prijs. Don’t go there, there are better places in Gent.

  • 5/5 Nicolas M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice yet somewhat unexpected card. The dishes are tasty, definitely try the mocktails. In terms of service nothing to complain about, everyone very friendly and we were served quickly. Certainly recommended if you want something different, without it having to be very exotic. Here we come back 😁 (Original) Leuke maar toch ietwat onverwachte kaart. De gerechtjes zijn lekker, zeker ook eens de mocktails proberen. Qua bediening niets op aan te merken, iedereen heel vriendelijk en we werden vlot bediend. Zeker aan te raden wanneer je eens iets anders wil, zonder dat het heel exotisch moet zijn. Hier komen we nog terug 😁

  • 5/5 Gina Dara K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super eaten. Recommended: the lasagna with eggplant and zucchini. Nicely decorated, good service and nice acoustics. Definitely come back here and oh yes, the crème brûlée is really WOW. (Original) Super gegeten. Aanrader: de lasagne met aubergine en courgette. Leuk ingericht, goede service en fijne akoestiek. Kom hier zeker terug en oh ja, de crème brûlée is echt WAUW.

  • 4/5 Mathieu V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty, smooth service. Just a shame about the 5 very small pieces of Pulpo in starter. This for a Mediterranean restaurant called Pulpo🙂. (Original) Lekker, vlotte bediening. Alleen jammer van de 5 zeer kleine stukjes Pulpo in voorgerecht. Dit voor een mediterraans restaurant met de naam Pulpo🙂.

  • 2/5 Bert J. 4 years ago on Google
    Super bad service, we were 7 person and after 30min of waiting for the order to be taking the waiter just said that we can't have more than 4 types of dishes.. that info you need to said at the beginning or at least have it printed. It doesn't make any sense to have more that 10 different dishes and after you can not sale it on the excuse "the kitchen gets busy"

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google

    Delicious food and great service. We called with 30 mins notice and they fit us in right away.

  • 3/5 Alina S. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious but at maximum luke warm. All the other tables got a free starter plate except us, probably because we were tourists and won’t visit again. The prices are too high for the food you get and the service was stressed.

  • 5/5 AFOUDA F. 7 months ago on Google
    I was walking today and decided to try this restaurant for the first time. Even though it was almost their closing time, they were so welcoming and served me well. I love the ambiance of this restaurant, plus the food was amazing. I recommend

    (Translated by Google) Small place but with attention to detail. Menu with little choice and absolutely not Mediterranean. (Original) Posto piccolo ma curato nel dettaglio. Menu con poca scelta e assolutamente poco mediterraneo.

  • 5/5 Michiel S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the Greek restaurant I always go to with my family. Nice atmosphere, good food and royal portions.

  • 4/5 Burning P. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been coming to this restaurant for years, the meals are made to perfection, prices are really good but there are a couple of flaws I should address here. The spacing between the tables is the same as before covid, they run at full capacity like it doesn't exist. The waiters always take off their mask when going towards the kitchen. It's pure show. Apart from that the food is great and definitely something I'd recommend to everyone even if you're new to Greek cuisine.

    I don't go to Greek cuisine often but this place is worth going! Best lamb that I had this year! The restaurant owner carefully decorated it with Greek elements! I felt that I was in Greek. Love the vibe of the staff - friendly and humorous! The meat was so juicy and properly prepared! Highly recommended!

  • 1/5 Marcel M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Possibly 1 of the worst Greek restaurants I've ever visited. Absolutely inadvisable. The dolmas were ordinary cans of dolmas ... when I asked they admitted it ... the tzatziki and tarama just came from a supermarket in my opinion and the meat tasted and looked the same as you would in the bad pitta shops can find: frozen junk. Stay out of there. (Original) Misschien wel 1 van de slechtste Griekse restaurants die ik ooit heb bezocht. Absoluut af te raden. De dolmas waren ordinaire blikjes dolmas...toen ik dat vroeg gaven ze het nog toe ook... de tzatziki en tarama kwam naar mijn mening gewoon uit een supermarkt en het vlees smaakte en zag er hetzelfde uit zoals je in de slechte pitta zaken kan vinden: diepvries rommel. Blijf daar weg.
