We spent only 1 day in Athens and HAD to stop by this restaurant. The food, ambiance and service are all A+. We had the falafel platter and shawarma platter as well as 4 or 5 of the appetizers. They all tasted fresh and were delicious. We also has Ouzo which was very strong and really completed the meal well. We will definitely be back next time we are in Greece!

Reading the reviews, I am sorry I did not get a chance to dine in this restaurant as an individual, choosing items from the menu.
I was part of a large tour group--approximately fifty people--who were on a Jewish Heritage tour of Greece, with Haim Ishakis as our guide. We ate both in the restaurant and at our hotel, where the food was catered by Gostijos.
The kashrut of this restaurant met the high standards of the rabbi heading our tour.
The bread was excellent, crispy and fresh.
There were several Israeli salads and dips, all extremely good. The avocado dip garnered raves.
We had a soup each time, two main courses and several sides.
The soups were not terrific. One was what seemed to be butternut squash, but it was burned.
The other was heavily laced with cilantro--one had to really be into cilantro to enjoy that soup.
We had fish several times and each time it was good, but the last time, the salmon (which is my favorite) was quite salty. I would suggest that if you do not like your food salty, you mention that when ordering.
The meat in grape leaves was very good, the chicken was extremely good.
The staff was very friendly. The waitresses worked hard and were extremely patient and eager to please. Service was slow. though, because there were not enough wait staff--two waitresses for fifty of us. I am sure that this was because such a large group may not be so common at this restaurant.
There is a small grocery store attached to the restaurant and a seating area for relaxing pre and post meal.
The food presented at the two hotels we stayed at, in Athens and Ioninna, for breakfast and for Shabbat was quite good, except for the gefilte fish--it had a very unappealing color. My advice is to choose another fish dish instead.
All in all, this is the only kosher restaurant in Athens and it was wonderful to be able to have fresh kosher food while in Greece.

This is a very friendly restaurant with excellent food - very fresh and tasty. It is the only kosher restaurant in Athens - and it sells kosher bread and caters meals for Shabbat.

after a long day we were so happy to be surrounded by something familiar. food was delicious and staff were very kind. always smiling and offering good advice about our stay. i loved how no matter what you ordered, you automatically got a basket of bread, some salads and dips, and at the end a slice of cake - no extra charge! so unlike the restaurants we went to in Italy where you have to pay for water! they also have a sort of lounge area where we were able to relax and use the wifi.
