We went here on our first night in Athens. It is a small restaurant on a side street. It has a small menu, but what they do, they do well.
I had the pork souvlaki and the husband had moussaka. Both were delicious. We made the mistake of having starters, but the main course portions would do on their own.
The lady serving was very friendly and although there was only one lady cooking, everything came out very promptly.

A great place to eat if you want good Greek food in a relaxed atmosphere on sidewalk tables. The prices are very reasonable. The tomato balls, the marinated grilled mushrooms, and the Dakos salad are all really tasty; the staff are super-friendly, and the wi-fi signal is strong.

The place is very nice and the food is incredibly good. The prices are quite affordable (30€ between two people with several drinks and a dish to share in addition to the main ones). The staff is very friendly and the place has a very nice decor.

It was our last night dinner in Athens. We decided to stay in the neighborhood & support a local taverna, based on good reviews and posted pictures and menus showing an interesting variety of items. The waiter was inattentive and acted bored. The menu was small, far fewer items than previous menus we found online. There were no specials and the food was greasy and slapped together. Disappointed.

Do net expect here a chef restaurant, but do expect a tasty, hearty, and very Greek experience. We were three and had pork, lamb, sausage and the like, and everything was very tasty and well prepared. Very good cold local beer complimented the pleasurable experience. The bill was also a pleasant surprise, about 30% less than other restaurants in the neighborhood. Recommended.

Such a gem of a little place! We asked our waiter to recommend what was good to try and had a truly delicious meal!
We had the fried zucchini balls with tzatziki, buryurdi (baked feta in a spicy tomato sauce), the Dakos salad (crisp bread, with tomatoes and feta cheese) to start and then the marinated grilled chicken with fries, the pork souvlaki and the grilled patties with fries. The tomatoes in the Dakos salad were the sweetest, tastiest tomatoes I have ever had. Everything was delicious and really reasonable priced!
Delightful meal, friendly service and reasonably priced. Can't ask for more.

Really enjoyed sharing the meat platter and a Greek salad with my girlfriend.
The meat selection was awesome, marinated and grilled to perfection would highly recommend.
The honey and feta starter was also spot on.

Our hotel was less than a quarter mile away, so we decided to give this place a try. Although pretty tiny (maybe 5-7 tables inside and a couple tables outside) the food is big and tasty. We sat inside against the wall facing the sidewalk, and since they lower the giant window panel, it was like sitting outside and would recommend over the small sidewalk tables outside. We ordered the small meat platter (yes…that’s small) and everything was perfectly prepared and really tasty. The people there were very friendly, and like pretty much every other restaurant, they have an English menu. Go with confidence and you will not be disappointed

I loved the place, the atmosphere, the music and of course the food: simple and tasty. We tasted the traditional meatballs, grilled marinated chicken, slouvaki and lamb kebab.
Friendly and attentive staff. In short I recommend.

I don't understand why this place gets such good reviews here. The food was average, not cheaper than other (better) places, the staff were efficient but uninterested and there was loud music playing inside. The unpasteurised beer was nice and good value though.

A very nice and picturesque Greek restaurant. A very own decoration, there were also many locals present (dst says enough). Dishes (mixed plate, greek salad, Tzatziki were all very tasty. Overall highly recommended.

Typical Greek food, a small but charming place. We tried feta cheese with honey and sesame, a sausage dish and without a doubt the best mousaka we have eaten during our holiday. Very well priced.

We had a delightful first dinner in Athens at Sfika! We were referred by a local and were so happy we followed the suggestion. The staff is warm and friendly. The food is authentic and delicious. Even my picky kids ate heartily! Prices very reasonable. Happy and fun atmosphere. We had the moussaka, lamb souvlaki, chicken, Greek salad, fried zucchini, meatballs. All delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend for a casual dinner with friends or family!

Loved this little bar/restaurant we found on our first day in Athens and called for a drink every day and ate there twice. The staff were all so nice and friendly, even giving complimentary local drinks which were lovely. The food was so tasty and we tried quite a lot of different dishes off the menu - all delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Not far from our hotel and would recommend to anyone - always a great atmosphere and so welcoming

It maybe small and quite basic but the food was anything but! Ordered meatballs and fried tomato balls as a starter, both arrived and would easily be a main course portion. These were followed by the mixed grill, which we shared, it beat us! Thoroughly recommend the red house wine. If you want to eat out on a budget you can't go wrong here.
