    Really nice tastes, the restaurant has a family aura. Adana kebab was really amazing, among the best I have tasted! However, I was a bit disappointed they didn’t put the Turkish spices on french fries that I’m used to from restaurants in Istanbul (and they were also unaware of them, until I presented photos to them). Also, the spinach gözleme I got was totally different than the one I expected, it’s more like a thick and sore bread-pie, rather than the thin and soft one. I intend to be back to try more dishes.

    A simple Kurdish place with amazing fresh flavours, simple preparations and everything freshly made from scratch using the best ingredients. The decor is family diner style, bit the flatbread was baked fresh and the food was a joyto eat. Highly recommended neighbourhood restaurant. The lahmacun and esme were incredible, without being overspiced and the main dishes and salads were great.

    Great service and amazing food! Of course they brought us fun deserts to try and bonus booze. Great place to try many Greek faves.

    Super relaxed little restaurant. Multiple sidewalk tables. Kurdish and Greek menu. Very friendly and food was excellent. We tried salad, bulgur meatballs, and Kurdish pizza (sorry, cannot recall the proper name). All prepared fresh. Alcohol menu limited to beer. Very reasonable prices for large portions.

    We arrived late to our hostel around the corner. We were just looking for FOOD, not one of the best meals of our lives. So sad that we only got to eat there one night as we left Athens the next day. I would HIGHLY recommend you eat here and even seek this place out! Amazing food! Friendly folks!

    I had the authentic Adana Kebab. The spicy flavors were perfect. Combined with an ayran and it's like I was eating in Turkey 👌 The owner is from Diyarbakır so you know that he prepares it the correct way. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Athens. The vegetarian stuffed eggplant (get it with a side order of bread) is absolutely fantastic. When I want to switch it up, the vegetarian peinirli are also very good.

    Very good what feels like a family run restaurant. Good typical Kurdish and Asia Minor dishes. Simple setting where the food does all the talking! First time I had Künefe a dessert made with cheese or clotted cream and dripping with syrup!

    Must try, super delicious food. Manti, lamb kebab and spicy chees dip with pita bread were amazing.

  • 3/5 Ioannis R. 1 year ago on Google
    Calm place. Fast service even though it was full. Friendly service. Medium-sized portions. Reasonable price. Not very testful food. The desert was much below our expectations. I will try again

    Third time we went for dinner with my husband yesterday and it's become one of our favorite places. It's a small, family establishment with excellent, "heavenly" food at affordable prices. If you're looking for beautiful decor this is not the place for you but, otherwise, this is a place for true foodies! So, we always get the Coban salad which is a finely chopped one full of freshness and the Kurt Ciger main dish which is a favorite of mine (small pieces of fried liver and potatoes w/fresh onions & parsley). We also had two other main dishes: the Lahmacun and a Peinirly w/sausage & cheese (these are both pita dishes and the pita bread is always freshly home-made and to die-for!). We also had 500ml of red wine and ALL THAT only for 30euros! As you can understand, we got a doggy bag with the leftovers as this was too much food for 2 people! They also have many kebap dishes which my husband has tried and highly recommends (I don't eat kebap but it needed to be said!) Good, friendly service as well so you won't be disappointed!

👍 A place where locals eat. Not a tourist spot. Food is spicy and full of flavor. Beware the spicy sojouk is actually the hottest food we tried in Greece. Cooking is home style with multiple ingredients coming together in complex flavors. Get a table on the roof it is up a few flight of stairs but the...
