👍 Always trying different things and places, especially when traveling abroad. The food was lovely, a reasonable portion to fill one person. The flavour and taste was good. I'd recommend giving it a go at least and make up your own mind. This is a nice place to chill - alone, with friends and family.

    Extremely slow, waited over 45 minutes for tzatziki. The waiter was rude after we complained about the long wait for a simple order and didn't even come to our table afterwards. I would say - avoid this place by all means.

    Went for dinner with friends, but we only got a salad and french fries from everything we ordered. Also, we had to remind the waiter for the drinks to get a wine that was the worst I have ever tried and it smell really bad. We had to remind the waiter for water also. In the end, he put everything we ordered on the bill that we didn't get. Worst restaurant ever. I don't recommend it at all.

    I've waited about 20 min for a piece of feta cheese with a little bit of olive oil and some seasoning not to mention it wasn't that good. I hope those chicken bites my friend ordered were cooked properly because it didn't taste like that. One lady from the staff was just cleaning some tables instead of cooking our food. Overall I don't recommend it.

    Good food, good serving, fair price. Had the spicy cheese, beef cheeks and octopus. All with great taste. Will come again.

    Not bad, not very good… its regular ok. A food is normal taste, normal price, but the portions was more normal then big, just the service was very fast, bit when you asked a bill- everyone was waiting something.:)))) intill i asked 4 th waiter.. several beaglers asked you money or to buy something.

    I was impressed. Ordered something simple like the flutes with ground beef, a hot grilled pepperoni and the grandma's meatballs. The flutes were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The dumplings are too firm for my taste, but very delicious. But most of all, little things say a lot about the kitchen, like the long spicy peppers being cleaned of their 'grilled" skin. Only chefs who love perfection do that. Definitely I am coming back to taste more of the kitchen and let you know.

    We went because it was considered a good restaurant, but unfortunately the experience was so good that it ruined our day. First the waiting was horrible and frantic, it was more important for them(the restaurant) to fill the tables. Of course, they took our order quickly but then the waiting game began, fist the wine came 30 minutes. Instead of salad first, 1 of our appetizers were served ice cold (grilled mushrooms) 1 hour. After 1 hour and 30 minutes our second appetizer arrived again stone cold(fried cheese/ saganaki), disgusting. In the meantime the staff continues to set up more tables in the alley and continues to seat new customers even though the kitchen is obviously overwhelmed. 1 hour and 50 minutes finally our 2 salads arrived. 1 Greek salad which was more of an onion salad with a few tomatoes, and cucumbers cut with an axe most likely... And, a beetroot salad which was eh.. decent but nothing special. In the meantime waiting on our meat platter and slowly eating our salads one of the waiters dropped a bowl of mustard sauce directly landing behind my wife's chair, of course it coated my wife's clothes/hair/the chair and window next to her. The waiter saying nothing went to the kitchen to get another, after serving the intended table, he came back and said in an ironic way "sorry my tray is slippery" and vanished. Everyone around us saw the what happened. a few customers helped clean my wife's clothes but she had to wash up in the bathroom which had a broken paper towel dispenser so she had to go to the men's room. In the meantime the staff just went business as usual seating and bring more tables from nearby closed restaurants to fit as many "victims" as they can. NOT ONE PERSON FROM THE RESTAURANT OFFERED TO CLEAN THE CHAIR OR REPLACE IT, NOR, THE WALL NEXT TO MY WIFE . Of course, upon return my wife sat for a few minutes to gather her self, the meat platter was nowhere in sight.we called for the head waiter/owner? We offered to pay for what was brought to us but he correctly let us leave free of charge. It's a shame for them, putting profit over quality first.

    Unfortunately I was not satisfied. There were two of us here. The portions were small, the taste was average. The "dessert or raki" we are accustomed to everywhere did not come here. I don't think we will go again.

    An excellent place. Live traditional Greek music and excellent and abundant food. Staff very friendly and were very attentive to my allergy.

  • 5/5 George 9 months ago on Google
    An authentic Ouzerie with the atmosphere, music and food to match! We had a fabulous meal starting with a citrus salad, fried cod, leeks in phyllo dough, and two traditional dishes. We also had a burger which was possibly one of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted even in the US. Of course they topped it off with a snickers ice cream on the house! Would definitely come back again and highly recommended. Super easy to get to, right behind the higher end of Aristotelous Square.

    Very good food, great atmosphere with live greek music and friendly staff. I came the second time after two years and it's still good.

  • 2/5 Adora 5 years ago on Google
    The Greek salad was poor to medium, it has not enough feta, very cheap in variety, and the mix grill for two, oil too much. Not á la minute kitchen, I believe. We came at 19:00 the place was bot animated, as I understand it’s from 21:00 Garlic potatoes were tasty and we have a desert at end.

  • 4/5 Shali B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good. The bread served the beginning did not taste like fresh. Live music played at about 21:00 was very good.

  • 4/5 Sav F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Lisa van R. 1 year ago on Google
    My company received their foods 45 minutes before I had mine. They were allready finished eating. They didn’t offer anything to help, only wait. Unfriendly boss.. did really not enjoy. Bad vibe in general.

  • 3/5 Nikolas K. 5 years ago on Google
    Here you can find decent food (average and/or above average). The portions are big so have that in mind when you order, otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of food. The prices are descent and the staff is friendly. Also there is live Greek music during the day which makes it a good place to eat, drink and have fun. I would score 3.9 but not 4 so I end up giving 3 :(

    Amazing traditional Greek restaurant

  • 5/5 Eric da C. 1 year ago on Google
    The Place is taking a whole little street. There are humongous fans outside to give you fresh air! The staff is very welcoming! Not fake or "you are going to eat here" welcoming but the true thing. The food is fresh, generously and fast served. The musicians were great too, playing traditional Greek music. The dessert was offered! The goodbyes were as warmer as the welcome. We had a great diner, a great moment and I highly recommend this place! I doubt you'll regret your visit. I will visit again for sure!

  • 5/5 Julia K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service! We went there with our one year old son and without requesting his dish to be prepared for kids, they made it exclusively about him! Everything else was great, food, decor, beautiful location, live music. Totally recommended!
