Not often, not easy you get 100% satisfied from eating out... There will be always smth that didnt seem right or could be better. In this case... Believe it or not everything is perfect. True to what aspires to be. Simple greek food... No experimental gastronomy.. Nothing complicated. As greek as it gets, as simple as it gets. Wode variety of options, cooked greek food. Highlight... The giouvetsi... Slow cooked beef with greek pasta kritharaki in tomato sauce!...competes any mum's skills. Small place, ideal to satiafy your cravings for greel cooked food. What better reassurances... Than the chef himself telling you :i cook what i like to eat.... Meaning if you want to try lentice.. Thats not the place. Well done.. Amazing gem. We were 5, the services was amazing, they were super friendly and accomodated every request. They dont have deserts - that is also on the positives. Just stick with good food here. Amazing job. Keep up guys.
The owner was super attentive and very kind. It's a little bit far from the main street but it's worth the walk. Delicious food and nice presentation. It's not the typical Greek food but it's recommended.
The best mageireuta I know in Athens. Every day new dishes, never disappointed in any of them. It's in the details: the rice for instance is with wild rice. Highly recommended!
I had a great piece of Moussaka here. The portion was huge and the food was very tasty. There are some tables to sit inside and outside the shop, but they're not many (and shops like this are usually takeaway oriented). I'd come back anytime for home-like food.
