Why Travelers Love ILIADA
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I really recommend this place, and I wish I had found it earlier on my trip because I would definitely go there again. I had a greek salad, tzatziki with pitta bread, and an orange juice. Everything was delicious, all fresh, just right. The juice was freshly pressed from the sweetest oranges. The lady who was attending the requests was super friendly and nice, and even gave me some pieces of a delicious sweet as an extra. Such a nice place! Came here for lunch as a group of 5 and it was so nice. The inside of the cafe is so cute and the food is delicious. They also gave us these adorable desserts that were so good :) I had the Kebab, Fruit Salad and a lemon alcohol drink that I couldn’t name but was very good. Indoor and outdoor seating. The one lady was very attentive, friendly, and even saved goodbye as I left a little after from the inside dining room. The younger girl also gave me a plate of portokopita on the house. It was really good! Very hospitable overall, thanks.

The quality of the food, especially given the price we paid is unheard of. Indeed, we tried the chicken gyro portion and the plate was literally overflowing with chicken. The bread tasted homemade amd the chicken was simply delicious. Our waitress was also very sweet and helpful.

It was absolutely one of the best Greek cuisine experiences we had in our whole trip. We’ve been to tavernas, restaurants with many, many awards but for sure they should give them all to Iliada. The price-quality ratio is absolutely outstanding, the best gyros I’ve ever had in my life. They also brought us dessert on the house, which was incredibly kind and wonderfully hospitable – such a lovely gesture. Truly recommend this spot, absolutely perfect experience in every single way
