Why Travelers Love The New
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
What a fantastic experience! Memorable! There's a reason this place has 1400+ top reviews. Amazing 👏 Michael was superb. Nikos, the owner, was dining on the next table. He gave us time, told us about his chef and his interest in providing visits customers with the best. All the food we tried was fabulous. Oso Buco, moussaka, beef patties, Greek salad, and more 👏❤️ Service - exceptional! We ate here tonight and the food and service was exceptional. The cheese triangles were my personal favourite! The staff are amazing. I got talking to the owner, Christine and we discovered we grew up in the same area (Sydney) and even went to the same high school. A very small world. If you are after great food and friendly service without the restaurant being in the busy streets of Athens, check this place out for sure. Excellent food - the fava dip was the creamiest version we had over several days, the spicy cheese dip was flavorful with a bit of kick, the Moussaka was delicious as was the tender Pork. Best fries we had as well. Staff was lovely - taking good care of patio patrons when the rain started. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked fabulous - would definitely dine here again.

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience! On our first night, we had dinner here and tried the dolmades, fried zucchini balls, and moussaka—everything was delicious. The staff were wonderful, and we especially enjoyed getting to know Christine, the owner. We loved it so much that we came back the very next night! This time we ordered the fried tomato balls, classic Greek salad, and fried feta with honey. Once again, every dish was amazing. We can’t recommend this place enough!

You can tell the owner is so passionate and proud of her restaurant. The restaurant was decorated beautifully both indoors and outdoors, and the food was amazing (definitely lived up to the hype of the owner). This is a great option for a nicer/more upscale dine-in experience, but not pretentious at all. Moussaka, fried honey feta, pasta, were all delicious. I wish we had more time to go revisit one more time before we had to leave.
