Delicious authentic Greek food. Wonderful friendly atmosphere. Quick service and the staff were welcoming and treated us like we've known them our entire lives. Great prices too! Highly recommended- right around the corner from the Plaka shopping.

The people here make the place worth going to quite easily. If you're seeing the top reviews and thinking you'll have the best food of your life...well, you're doing it wrong. If instead, you see the top reviews and realize that you're going to have a good meal with great service for a very good price...you're doing it right. The... More

My friends, this is a great restaurant! It has it all...the food is delicious...it's very affordable...but for my wife and I the most important aspect is the service. Connie, her daughter Zoe, and the rest of her family are extremely welcoming to all...and work very hard to make sure that your dining experience in their country is top notch! We... More

We happened upon this place by chance and my husband remembered reading about it in travel guide. We were looking for a cold beer and late lunch. Place was empty so we were told to pick which ever table we wanted. Our server was very friendly. Food/drink came out quickly. I ordered souvlaki in pita and my husband had gyros.... More

Good food at a great price with some of the best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The owner is such a sweet lady! It was a perfect place to fill up after lots of tourist fun :)

We ate here twice during our 3 night stay in Athens. The food were good although we found the gyros a bit too salty. Friendly and welcoming staff. Big portion with good price - they have 'crisis set menu' of euro 7.5 - euro15 for Greek salad, main dish and a glass of wine. Don't expect a 5 star fancy... More

My fiance and I fell in love with this place! The family is amazing, which is the reason for the laid back and friendly atmosphere, and the food is plentiful (and cheap!). By the end of our meal I felt as if I had known these people all my life. We actually went back for dessert later in the day... More

This is something very rare, an unpretentious family restaurant where the goal is to provide good food and a friendly atmosphere and all at very reasonable prices.

This is a family-run restaurant. The food is excellent service is excellent family is excellent everything is great. the parents would say they run the place but the kids are outstanding and the reason to keep coming back. Very casual. Expect to get a hug or two before you leave. A treasure amidst the expensive hotels.

We went to this restaurant because it was no.1 on Trip Advisor. If you are wanting plentiful food for a low price, great, but if you want taste don't go here.It is really a cafe.It is on a busy road so the noise from the traffic is deafening. The staff were very friendly though. We were very, very disappointed.
