🍽️ A culinary highlight in Athens! 🇬🇷 Everything was absolutely spot on – from the food quality to the overall vibe. 🔥 The chicken skewer was simply outstanding – juicy, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. 🏡 The location is cozy and stylish, with a great atmosphere. 🤝 The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional – we felt genuinely welcomed. 🎁 And to top it all off: a delicious complimentary dessert! A wonderful gesture that perfectly rounded off the experience. 🧁✨ 👉 Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back! Nice buzzing atmosphere. Samantha out server steared me away from what sounded a nice Chicken starter by showing me what it actually looked like (KFC comes to mind) so had the prawn starter nice amount of prawns and tomato sauce. (Touch of chilli of been perfect? Moussaka for main which was lovely and fresh and really good balance of flavours. Really nice experience night before the marathon but kept everyone happy. Nice bottle of wine as well. Absolutely amazing!!! First of all, the service throughout was phenomenal. Secondly, the prices are very reasonable. Third, the food was top notch! We ordered the Homemade Ravioli, Sautéed Shrimps and Mousaka in the Oven. The sauce on the Homemade Ravioli was unbelievable. Once we tasted it, we decided to order pita bread to soak up all of the sauce on the plate. The Sautéed Shrimp and Mousaka in the Oven were delicious as well. But the Homemade Ravioli was a game changer. Also, I’m a fan of whiskey and beer. I ordered a whiskey on the rocks and an IPA. Both were flavorful. My wife is a wine connoisseur and she loved the white wines she ordered. Overall, an amazing meal and experience!

The food is very good for a very reasonable price! We had the lamb chops which were cooked medium and perfectly seasoned. The other dish was the main dish of the restaurant called Athena’s Cook chicken and it has excellent flavor over a bed of nicely flavored rice. We shared a desert of baklava and ice cream as a local favorite - it was perfectly toasted & flaky with honey, and pistachio crumbs. The atmosphere is nice yet casual. The service was very attentive. This is the best value for a great dinner that we found in Athens.

I visited this place twice during my stay in Athens. It seems to be mostly frequented by tourists, but the food is anyway good. On one visit, I had the Greek salad. They use a bit less feta than other places, but the portion was still sufficient, and they included capers, which aren’t always used in the dish. On another occasion, I ordered the grilled squid, which was well-cooked and nicely seasoned, served with crispy potatoes. Both times, I was offered a chocolate and biscuit dessert with caramel sauce when paying the bill, which I appreciated.
