I visited it for the first time with my mother this evening.
Upon arrival, we were promptly lead to a nice, fancy dinner table near the bricks and candlelights - not quite the casual setting we had imagined. It was one of the only table available this evening as all other tables were reserved.
Equally as promptly, the waitress brought us the menu.
The table was squeaky clean and the serviettes, as well as the forkes and knives were neatly aligned.
The waitress, as well as the lady owner of the restaurant were super friendly and casual. Don't let the fancy interior fool you, the setting is pretty casual.
I bought the Gyros Plate for 13,80€ whilst my mother selected the "Mezes yia ena" (mixed starters) for 9,80€ (I believe) because she didn't want a full plate.
The Gyros Plate consisted of one souvlaki, gyros, a large portion of fries, tzatziki and salad, whilst my mother's dish had all kinds of starters, like authentic Greek octopus, Tiri Dodonis dolmadakia and tzatziki among them.
The waitress also brought us two small glasses of ouzo and bread free of charge.
The items were pricey, but the price was offset by the ridiculous amount the servings were in - the starters plate was really big, and one could basically get full with only that plate. I ended up eating some of those starters as well. They were extremely delicious.
The souvlaki and gyros were straight from the grill and tasted absolutely delicious. The onions and tzatziki really complimented the flavour of the grilled goodies. The fries were just right - not too crispy, not too mushy. I wasn't convinced I could eat my entire plate, but the incredibly fresh salad helped me finish that delicious plate.
Needless to say, my mum and I were both more than full in the end, the meal was really satisfying. All in all, it was a priceless experience; for the amount of food, the price is more than justifiable.
I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for authentic Greek delicacies at a reasonably affordable price.
Great ambiance - a wine cave with excellent, attentive service. We enjoyed Greek wine with a variety of appetizers and entrees. The farmers Greek salad was perfect and I tried the combo plate with 3 types of pork - all delicious! I look forward to going back next year.
Looking for a nice restaurant with great service and Greek food? This place is a must. Five star service, lovely ambiance, great Greek food.
The food was excellent! We had Peperoni with garlic to start, not what we expected at all but the mix of flavors with the char of the grill was dynamite! I had lamb in a rosemary sauce with buttered rice for an entree, and I savored every single delicious bite! Although we had a language barrier, it didn't matter one bit. Our waiter was the sweetest and took great care of us. They provided the perfect ending to a long day.
Despite being on a busy street, the atmosphere once inside is relaxed and inviting. The food is uniformly excellent, the service attentive and friendly, and the portions enormous. Well worth a visit or two.
Tasty Greek food in a nice atmosphere. Meat is a highlight with a focus on flavours and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back.
If you are looking for authentic Greek grilled octopus, this is your place. Its relatively inexpensive and the service is very good. The cleanliness is very noticeable. Overall, the food is very well prepared, but like I said before, the octopus is just incredible.
Good value. Always busy. Interesting meals, including fresh fish. Meals come with a salad and are always well prepared and hot. Steak with rice is an interesting but pleasant combination. Staff are always welcoming, full of smiles! Have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed.
Hallo,bin seit 20 Jahren von der Qualität und dem tollen freundlichen Service begeistert ! Selbst zu Coronazeiten und Essen zum Abholen, sag ich nur Danke für Top Service,Top Speisen und zu fairen Preisen ! Freu mich wenn ich auch wieder im Restaurant mit Freunden essen und die Gastfreundschaft genießen kann !
Sehr schönes Ambiente und authentisches Essen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend und hat uns unsere Wünsche jederzeit erfüllt.
Die Toiletten waren sehr sauber!
Die Qualität des Essens sowie vom Service sind stetig auf einem hohen Niveau, welches hier die fünf Sterne rechtfertigt!
Ich kann das Athens definitiv weiterempfehlen. So eine Gastfreundschaft erlebt man nicht oft.
Das Essen war wunderbar!
Alles frisch und lecker, auch noch zu später Stunde nach 22 Uhr.
Der Service war hervorragend und sehr freundlich.
Trotzdem muss ich leider einen Stern abziehen. Denn es gab für uns (4 Personen aus 2 verschiedenen Haushalten) keine Liste, in die wir uns eintragen konnten oder mussten.
Das Lokal hat wirklich Potential mein nächstes Stammlokal zu werden.Das Lokal ist tatsächlich äußerst stilvoll möbliert. Keine cheap Dekoration, stattdessen es war farblich echt vieles ungemein gut aussehend auf einander abgestimmt.Das Futter war nicht das Einzige, welches in diesem Lokal für Staunen sorgt! Ich versuche wahrhaftig sehr gerne neue Lokale aus und bin unermüdlich auf der Recherche nach neuen Lokalen, aber diesem Lokal werde ich treu bleiben.Die Kellner sind jedes Mal äußerst reizend und sehr verbindlich. Das macht mir bei jedem Besuch vollends viel Freude.
Hervorragende griechische Küche!
Das Essen war absolut erstklassig, wir waren sehr begeistert - und wir kennen uns aus! ;-)
Selbst die Weinkarte, alles nur vom Feinsten! Das Ambiente ist auch richtig angenehm, modern, freundlich und überhaupt nicht verstaubt! Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!!!
Sehr gute griechische Küche ! Wer in Bezug auf Autolärm nicht so empfindlich ist...Man kann auch draußen sitzen.
Wer einen guten Griechen in Köln sucht ist hier definitiv fündig. Ein Familienbetrieb, wie man ihn sich neben der Systemgastronomie noch wünscht.
Das Essen war wirklich hervorragend und wir kommen definitiv wieder. :)
