Very nice food! Recommended. We had a portion of lamb chops and a veal steak. The fries were freshly made, super nice! And the meat was incredible. We also ordered some boiled greens & zucchini. That was okay (little tasteless). But overall very nice experience and friendly staff. They even gave us a free greek dessert, which was nice! The only confusing thing was we were there on a sunday and they had a break from 1800-1930, so we needed to come back later at 19.30. The website or google maps didn’t state this.

Can recommend this place! We had 1kg of lamb and one portion of pork steak. Both were great! But the secret highlight is the tatziki, very garlic heavy, which was perfect for us!!! Waiters were friendly and competent!

We spend our last night in this lovely 15 minutes walk from Monastiraki Square restaurant. Staff are very pleasant and food is just delicious. We ordered lamb chops , burger, salad and some local dips. Everything was perfect grilled and taste was incredible. Definitely a great value for money.

Our best meal in Athens. We went twice, and can’t wait to visit again. Don’t skip the lamb chops!

Excellent discovery! The menu is really extensive, with lots of choices and, above all, ultra-fresh products. Each dish is well prepared, flavorful, and you can feel the homemade touch as well as the respect for the ingredients. The servers speak English, are very welcoming, and take the time to explain the dishes with a smile. The atmosphere is authentic: you truly find the spirit of Greece, both on the plate and in the ambiance. Honestly, I was impressed from start to finish. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality offered, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I recommend it without hesitation, a real taste of Greece 🇬🇷✨
