    I went there to try their version of Greek salad. It's good that the waiter informed me that the salad could feed two people. He wasn't lying, the bowl is very big, and it was enough for me and my friend. The dish is simple, as it always is with Greek salad, but it was very delicious. The staff is very welcoming and speaks good English.

    One of the best places to eat in Thessaloniki!! Moussaka and shrimp Saganaki are to die for- literally!! You must come and visit if you’re in the area. Service was impeccable too. The nicest people you can meet :) We stupidly forgot to take pics of all our food (only the calamari)… I can only blame it on our eagerness as all the dishes were that GOOD!

    I really enjoyed my lunch there! The best moussaka I ever ate, the house wine was delicious and they are vegan friendly also! Big portions of the food as well.The service was very nice and prompt, helpful with additional information! I recommend it for everyone who wants a good meal and nice atmosphere also.

    The best traditional meal and the nicest stuff I had in Thessaloniki so far!!! The waitress was kind enough to explain the details of the menu and the specials. The food was delightful, all the tastes combined so good, really wanted to give a big hug to a cook for such a nice experience :D would definitely recommend this place and come back by a chance

    We have enjoyed a late lunch and loved every bit of it. It gives you the feeling of a local restaurant and serves you with a big heart. Waiter who have attended us was very helpful with everything and suggested his favorites as well and gave detailed information on every dish we have asked. And also offered us a complimentary desert:) For the amount we have eaten, price was very well deserved even can be considered cheap in many cases. If you want a quite lunch/dinner with a range of many options to choose from alongside daily dishes, this is the place!

    Fantastic restaurant. Authentic Greek food that will leave you asking for more. Tasty, homemade and generous portions. The staff is very friendly and nice. They really make you feel welcomed.

    Delicious food in a casual and comfortable setting. Can dine in or outdoors. Excellent and attentive service. Reasonable prices and great variety on menu and daily fresh specials. Even some free dessert! This is a gem of a place!

    The most delicious dinner I've eaten in Thessaloniki in a month. Hunkar Beyendi literally melted in our mouth, while the lamb meatballs (Yaurtlu) were equally mouthwatering. The restaurant provided almost everything somebody might need for a fantastic Greek supper in the city, including a cozy ambiance and courteous staff.

    This was the best meal we have had in our time in Greece so far. Everything was excellent, especially the amazing customer service. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu!

    The store of the neighborhood, however so tasty and amazing quality served excellently by young people who are exquisitely nice and good at what they are doing. Need to visit again and again till I'd have tasted everything in their menu! Keep rocking, guys thank you!

    We came especially for shrimp saganaki and we were blown away. The flavors were super authentic, and combined with a side of grilled bread, it’s a perfect dish to share. We paired it with some cooled semi sweet wine (quick mix up at first but solved super easily) and had one of the best lunches of our trip! Very kind staff too!

    Delicious meal and delightful service! Loved the quaint ambience and the quality of the food here. I ordered the fava beans and the stuffed mushrooms. Both were excellent. I wish I had more time to try other dishes and their wine.

    This is a small restaurant in a very lively part of town. The menu is rich with interesting proposals that span across the Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. The personnel is friendly and pleasant, rhe service fast and the atmosphere pretty relaxed. I have only tried a couple of plates and trhy tasted great. I will return and report more. Certainly worth the visit while the prices are good and the portions tasty and large.

    Small restaurant feels like family run. Highly recommend a reservation. Traditional Greek food. The service was incredibly friendly, food was outstanding (best stuffed grape leaves ever!), house wine of surprising quality. Atmosphere lacks a bot, but all other more than makes up for it.

    I visited this restaurant recently and also a couple of years ago. I liked more my first visit than the second. Anyway, the overall experience is nice. It serves mainly meat, but I would like to see more plates without meat in the menu. The place is value for money.

    One of the most disappointing places. I was impressed by the high rating on google maps and very enthusiastic to try it, but it really failed my high expectations. The dish of the day I ordered was average. The service was very bad and one of the waiters was really rude. I left to eat in a better place after. My experience there doesn’t encourage me to recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Mohammad Yousef A. 3 months ago on Google • 76 reviews New
    Great atmosphere with nice service, polite waiters and great treatment. However the food wasn't that good quality, the potato purée was tasteless and not scratched well, the Provatina (πρόβατο κρέας) was salty and full of water which wasn't made perfectly. Tbh, the salad was more than great, and the feta with honey was crunchy and fresh as well. Hope they take care of the food more next time. 💙

  • 5/5 Toine M. 1 month ago on Google • 70 reviews New
    Wish I could go again, amazing food, very accommodating chef, great value (even free desserts!). Tip for anyone visiting the first time: reserve a table in the main area by the bar, adjoining room looks dated and too brightly lit.

  • 5/5 MG R. 1 month ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    If you are in Thessaloniki, don’t miss this place. The food is excellent. Service and atmosphere as well. Everything we had was delicious: Roka salad with figs and goat cheese, Kavourmas, Pulled pork and veal with smoked eggplant puree (both were fantastic!!) The warm bread at the beginning is also so good. And at the end, the free dessert. Which was great too.

  • 5/5 ivana x. 7 months ago on Google
    Perfection in every dish. But my absolute favourite the sweet that comes from the house and is so simple and so refreshing. You cant go wrong with anything you order here. And the staff is amazing!!!

  • 5/5 Lana 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing food and service at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend it! Pulled pork, pulled beef, and the greek salad are delicious! We also enjoyed the house white wine!

  • 5/5 Ilhamiyya B. 7 months ago on Google
    I love everything in this restaurant. eating food felt like heaven in my mouth. definitely will come here if I am ever in Thessaloniki again😍

  • 5/5 Rachel Y. 5 months ago on Google
    This is the best meal I have had in Thessaloniki. The linguine is cooked to perfection, with generous amount of fresh prawns and mussels. The environment is cozy, a great place to enjoy a comforting meal. I am usually a small eater, but somehow I managed to finish the whole plate by myself. 10/10 for the taste, freshness, portion 👍

  • 5/5 Kwame O. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious meals, kind staff, homemade food, and overall pleasing atmosphere. The prices are on point, and once again, the food is absolutely delicious. There are options for vegetarians (such as raviolis filled with beetroot and chickpeas, delicious), and my friends said they had the best puree they ever ate here. 100% recommend. (Thanks for the cute dessert at the end, was delicious as well.)

  • 5/5 Drago 6 months ago on Google
    This is without any doubt the best food I've ever had in Greece. Everything was fantastic; I had the feta honey, tzatziki, pastirma-pie and the day's special: pulled pork - which was out of this world (photo). Definitely will come back on my next trip to Thessaloniki.

  • 5/5 Sumarie H. 1 month ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Incredible food and lovely staff. We had the pulled pork pita which was to die for! Definitely recommend. We even got some red velvet cake on the house for valentines day. Would love to return and support this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Nigar M. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is a must visit place in Thessaloniki, imo. The waiters were very friendly, approaching to ask if everything is ok and also advising about the options not listed in the menu. Although other places were not offering dolmadaki saying that it's not the season now, they had it and it was just awesome. I also tried a salad with feta cheese and feta fried in the filo pastry with honey and it was ex-cep-tio-nal ✨

  • 5/5 Bel 6 months ago on Google
    Great service and great food. It cost us 29 Eur for jug of house wine, mushroom risotto and beef cubes with eggplant puree. Complimentary carrot cakes. We would like to come back to try the seafood items if we get to visit Thessanoliki again. Now that we are in Santorini and able to compare the restaurants, the ones we visited in Thessanoliki like Kanoula are a few notches better in terms of value.

  • 5/5 AS 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic little find. The owners were really lovely and the food fantastic. The have a blackboard with special dishes not on the menu. The moussaka was to die for, best we have ever had!

  • 5/5 Janice Y. 11 months ago on Google
    We had to make a reservation because this restaurant was really popular, the servers were so nice because they knew we tried to come here before but couldn't get a table - so they served some complimentary drinks and dessert to make up for it. Also, the grilled mushrooms were the best we've tasted ever. The other dishes like slow-cooked beef were amazing as well.

  • 5/5 Ivana M. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best meals we had in Thessaloniki ever. Everything we tried was super delicious but seasonal salad with peaches was completely amazing. Impeccable service. You have to go!

  • 5/5 Iulia F. 9 months ago on Google
    the food was very good and delicious. the friendly staff brought us carrot cake dessert from the house. I tried pork moussaka with plums and beef with eggplant puree and I really liked all the dishes. the only minus was the fact that he brought us food one after the other instead of all at the same time

  • 5/5 Ronald K. 1 year ago on Google
    A small but great restaurant. Hospitality seems to be the key here. You feel as if you are personally invited to someone's home. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. I would recommend anyone coming to Thessaloniki, to eat there at least once.

  • 5/5 Xavier L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wine was great price. Lots of fun. Food was good. The management and staff were amazing. They went above and beyond by spoiling us with extra dessert and free water!

  • 5/5 Jaša 1 year ago on Google
    We picked this place based on reviews online and boy are we glad we did :) the meal was amazing. The eight of us all ordered different dishes and each and everyone of them was amazing. A real local experience with unique meals, all super delicious and big portions. Im my opinion the prices are fine (from 5 to 15 eur per meal). Ask for recommendations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would visit again anytime. :)

  • 5/5 Rodica Iolanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Try the beef with eggplant puree, and everything else! Every dish melts in your mouth, flavors are rich while plates are simple yet so so satisfying. Loved every bite, from the starters to the complimentary carrot cake (very fresh and yummy) at the end. Efcharisto!

  • 5/5 Nick A. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time in Greece and experience with its cuisine. This restaurant was recommended by our Airbnb host, and I'm very satisfied with the food! Delicious, friendly staff and a nice and pleasant atmosphere for dinner. The tzatziki was dynamite! And we received a complementary dessert!

  • 5/5 Maga E. 2 years ago on Google
    Best food I had in Greece so far, interesting flavours and street mood. Must try zucchini flowers.

  • 5/5 Shemorrow D. 2 years ago on Google
    We were sent to this restaurant by a local restaurant owner who was closing for the evening. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and welcoming. We had a green salad, mushroom risotto, and a skirtlion steak. All of the food was excellent! Inside dining is for the vaccinated only, you can dine outside if you only have a negative covid test and they do have heaters.

  • 5/5 mssemj 2 years ago on Google
    The food was astounding! The service was superb, the owners (im guessing) were very polite and easy to communicate with! It definetly was an amazing experience, very greek, would recommend it a thousand times!<3

  • 5/5 Rodica G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, nice conversation with the owner and really delicious dishes! A perfect dinner in Thessaloniki! I strongly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Heroko Yihe Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite tasty I like the beef stew and the salad and the lamb

  • 5/5 Jakub G. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, highly recommend the fried feta in honey. The slow cooked braised pork was also super tender and delicious. I wouldn't know whether the main dish was traditional Greek food but it was superb nonetheless
