A local told us we had to try the lamb shoulder while here in Athens - and he was right..! It was absolutely delicious as was all of our food.. But as great as the food was - the service was even better..! HIGHLY recommended to include no issues ordering in English.

A good restaurant with a few drawbacks. We ordered cheese with honey, we were really surprised how well they suited each other. For starters we also ordered a salad with a really special bread, they put the salad on their homemade bread, it was also very surprising and delicious. For mains we ordered sausages, they were very tasty and felt like they were made here on the spot and not bought, it's just a shame there wasn't some kind of addition to the sausages. And for a second course we ordered goat meat, the meat was very tender and soft in the mouth, the meat came with potatoes seasoned with lemon juice, simply delicious. For dessert we took the two traditional desserts, one was with salty cheese and honey on top, we were less connected to the combination of these flavors. And the second dessert was fried dough filled with something, to be honest we didn't understand what it was but we liked it. The bad things about the restaurant are that there are several rooms and the waiters can't see if the customers need anything. We were in a side room and every time I had to get up and go to the kitchen to ask for something. Besides, I recommend not going to this restaurant as your first restaurant in Greece, but first going to places with standard Greek food and then coming here.

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart since I first discovered it in 2017. Seven years later, it’s just as exceptional. If you’re looking for the best of Cretan cuisine, this is it. On my recent visit, I enjoyed a fresh dakos salad and a mouthwatering smoked pork in wine sauce. The food is as comforting as ever, and the friendly staff add to the warm, welcoming experience. The only drawback is that the location isn’t the most charming, especially if you’re sitting outside. But for food this good, it’s a small price to pay.

(12/28/18) Ngl I had to look through google maps for a solid 20 minutes to find this place because my photos of the food here didn't have a geotag. Luckily, they're still using the same plates I saw in 2018 so I was able to narrow down the search lol. It's in a pretty secluded area, so I can imagine only locals know about it through word-of-mouth. When I went to Greece I honestly was losing hope for having good food there after trying all the food included with our pre-paid tour experience, but then this seemingly random place we went to near our hotel completely restored my faith. This place really demonstrated how you can create some surprisingly delicious dishes using a simple set of ingredients. Genuinely the way they use olive oil, you'd think it was some secret divine nectar that they're just gatekeeping from you by calling it olive oil in the menu. I can't really put it to words since its been a while since I've been there but I remember thoroughly enjoying this place so its an easy recommendation if you're ever in the area.

The most delicious food I’ve tasted ever! The feta cheese with honey, the fava spread, the octopus, I can’t choose which was my favorite dish! The service was excellent with good recommendations and very friendly.

A touch of Crete in the center of Athens for the first time in this restaurant and my experience was nice, but the only thing that bothered me and I suggested that you always do the same to check your recite before paying and leaving as they added an extra plate on us. The food was so yummy and tasty. We didn't find many varieties as many things were missing in the menu as they were finished. It's not a fancy place I just went there for the food.

One of the last and very best meals of our month long trip - all of our three dishes, tender and beautifully seasoned roasted goat with lemon potatoes, braised eggplant in a complex vegetable sauce and mushrooms and greens in egg-lemon sauce were delicious and showed real attention to detail in the kitchen - pure home style, I would love to be able to cook like this. Menu (not the same every day) good for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

Our first restaurant in Athens and we were so ashamed because we came in at 11pm since our flight arrived so late. The staff was incredibly friendly, did not rush us through our 3 course meal and what to say about the food? We had a delicious cauliflower with buckflower and goat cheese and then for a main a huge lamb shoulder that was more than enough for 2 people. It melted in our mouths like butter. Definitely one of the top spots around Omonia.
