    The best restaurant we've experience in Warsaw so far. Food was amazing, service was great and a live band was playing. Highly recommend making a reservation in advance since the restaurant was quite busy even at 8:30PM. Thank you for a great experience!

    Great Greek restaurant in Warsaw! Delicious traditional dishes, good wine cart of the Greek wines(not only Greek), attentive and polite personal. Humus was a big surprise to find!! Positive surprise 🙂

    I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant after reading a few of the reviews and seeing the pictures. Sadly our experience wasn't that good. Firstly it's a lovely restaurant which you could easily walk past as the outside looks a bit shabby but the inside is nice. They had a few different menus on the go which was a bit confusing, lunch menu, set menue and standard menu. We went for the set menu as were after a quick meal. We waited a long time for our starters to arrive but when they arrived they were really nice we have meatballs and a baked feta. Both cooked really well and the feta tasted great. Then it was another really long wait for our mains which was just chicken souvlaki (grilled chicken skewer). This was served with standard oven chips that you buy from any supermarket. When the food finally arrived there was a black hair in my food, now normally I would have refused the dish but as we waited so long, and didn't want to be delayed further I removed it. Food was nothing special and pretty small portion. When my server collected the plate I pointed out the hair and she wasnt that concerned and simply said sorry. Another long wait and our dessert s came which were really nice again. Now the long serving time could be overlooked, the hair in the food could be overlooked, the small portion, the servers visibly complaining about lack of tips but all combined just made it bad experience hence the low rating. As we were waiting the food being served elsewhere looked really nice so maybe skip the set menus. Total was 200plz without alcohol.

    Visited for dinner on a Sunday and the place wasnt too full. Got some beer, seafood starters, and a main course. Food was really good, with plenty of options. Will certainly be back to try out other menu items. The grilled octopus was especially nice, very soft and fresh. If you're in the mood for Greek beer like Mythos, you can find it here. It's quite a large restaurant with a lot of indoor seating, and a few tables outside. Staff are friendly and helpful. Had called earlier to make a reservation, but was advised for a small group we didn't need to. They also have a nice lunch, which I will be back for.

    We visited this restaurant Saturday evening with a reservation. We ordered as a hot starter Pikilia, it was for 2 person and really delicious. And as a main we ordered Archipelago dish, it was also delicious however the fish are really salty. Of course we ate but it was disturbed us a lot due to salt. Mussels was also served with this dish. Atmosphere was nice they had decorated restaurant with Halloween concept. Also they had live music. We had spend good time here. I recommend!

    Great selection of great food, nice ambiance, friendly staff, and good house wine! All that for an affordable price. The dishes are properly sized and can easily satisfy a standard appetite. They also have a nice terrace, should the weather allow for it. The restaurant is dog friendly and we quickly got a bowl of water for the dog. One of the best Greek restaurant in Warsaw, always a pleasure to visit.

    One of the few Greek restaurants in downtown. Nice ambience, decent food quality but nothing special although I might be biased for spending most of my life eating the real deal. A bit pricey for the kind of food served which is essentially street food in Greece and nothing too exotic. Their house white wine was pretty good.

    My favorite Greek restaurant in Warsaw ! Reminds me about Athens and Corfu. Food is fresh and absolutely delicious! Not so expensive. Saffron tea is so delicious that is now one of my favorite. Staff very friendly and helpful !

    My sister had steak but was not very pleased, however, I was very satisfied with my fish. I don't understand why the veggies came in a different plate considering it wasn't that much. Anyways, I did rearrange my plate cause I had time and wasn't as hungry after my starters.) Big portions, great service, delicious seafood, and Mediterranean cuisine. Still one of my favorite restaurants to visit in the city for seasonal seafood

    Avarage to low... was nice place on Waw map bat lost quality and charm long time ago. Food rather far form good Greek and im sensitive for preservants added like soda so in sure not freshly prepared. Location in old block in bad area by noisy street so makes garden not nice experience... place not well maintained...

    Delicious fish was served and opened with servers. Olives for waiting time reminds me of sunny days in Greece. Love it :)

  • 5/5 Fatma K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, tasty food and chill atmosphere. If you go between 5-8 it’s more chill later might be crowded. I can recommend baby squid fries, shrimps with tomato and tzatziki. We paid around 850pln for multiple cold&hot starters, main dishes for 3 people, and drinks along the way.

  • 4/5 Mary T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good size portions and our meals were quickly brought to the table. I enjoyed the seafood risotto which although lacked a bit of authenticity, the flavours were good and the seafood was plentiful and tasty. The Greek salad was both fresh and adorned with very high-quality feta cheese. However, the low point was the calamari which was served not very hot and lacked flavor. The Calamari also came across as not overly fresh. Overall, a good effort but there is definitely room for improvement.

    Bit disappointed by this place! Overall portion was good but lacked flavour..lamb was tough and too little compared to other items on the plate.

  • 5/5 Usman S. 5 years ago on Google
    I visited this restaurant for the first time with a recommendation. My friend recommended it. The interior is good and the place is crowded. A big collection of wine and a wine shop as well inside. The dishes are tasty and cocktails are delicious. I recommend to try it once and you will love it.

  • 4/5 Lee “200 Days in Europe” A. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented, in a nice environment, and very inexpensive from an American perspective. But the service was rushed. It felt more like a US chain restaurant than Europe. I would have given it five stars if the service was a bit more relaxed.

  • 1/5 Saltanat K. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Discriminatory attitude. All local people around me got “the greetings” (olives) except of me. Waitresses are rude like I came to their house. None didn’t smile including administrator lady. She brought me a full glass (poured out) lemonade when i asked for strawberry taste lemonade. Weird attitude towards foreigners..

  • 1/5 emir y. 6 months ago on Google
    We came as a group of 15 and tried many things. Food was definitely below average 10/3. Worst thing is the service. When we tried to pay, they told us we need to calculate it ourselves and only one person should pay because "they don't know who ate what" Never ever I would recommend here. There are way better restaurants in Warsaw

    Best greek place to eat and have fun. The people there are friendly and nice. Food is perfect. Just enjoy it

  • 5/5 Alex A. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly I fell in love with this place. Looks unassuming from the outside but the staff is absolutely amazing, I was surprised. I think the owner was there serving and cleaning tables alongside them. The person that served me, I could see she was scrambling to accommodate everyone, and still always had a smile on her face and the food came at just the right time. Also even if it was lunch time on a weekend the place is big enough not to feel crowded and the order didn’t feel like it took too long On top of that they have a really cool weekend offer for 54 pln (at the time I went) Starter + Main Course + Desert 😱 The only thing I could potentially fault them on, the meat for the Gyros was dry
