Lefteris O Politis (est. 1951) is a family-run business that has expanded to a new location in Nea Smyrni. The restaurant offers pita-wrapped souvlakis with options like juicy bifteki or spicy soutzouki beef sausage, served with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, onion, parsley, and red pepper. The establishment prides itself on maintaining its traditional recipes while being managed by the third generation of the same family.
One of the oldest eateries in Athens. They just do 3 types of beef sandwiches. But they are the best. Juicy beef kebabs/souvlaki in well toasted pita. Don't miss it! LOVED IT!
Tanveer A — Google review
Best sandwiches! It's a must try in Athens. Each sandwich is 2,5€ and so worth it! Probably one of the best places and a must visit. Menu is simple, wait can be long around 10 minutes but so worth it.
Alaa C — Google review
Best souvlaki in Athens ! You definitely have to go there. Each sandwich is really cheap. Souvlaki is not that big so I recommend ordering at least two per person (but you will order more because it’s so good). Meat is delicious, juicy and well seasoned. Very friendly staff, family atmosphere. Many if simple (attached) but you don’t need anything more. Don’t go there right before closing time because they can be sold out. It’s a must visit! Highly recommend
Helena P — Google review
The BEST souvlaki place in whole of Athens! I first ordered one souvlaki as I wasn’t really hungry. As soon as I took the first bite I knew I would get another one. The meatballs in the souvlaki were very bouncy and juicy. The staff were happy that I came back and they made a new one straight away. If you are in the neighborhood try to swing by!
Zhizhong K — Google review
Amazing traditional souvlaki spot! You can really taste the quality and history here - they’ve been serving since 1951, and it shows. The meat is juicy and flavorful, the pita is soft, and everything feels authentically Greek. Perfect place for a quick, delicious bite in the city. Definitely one of the best souvlakis around!
Martyna S — Google review
Timeless place. It’s got its character, charm and vibe. The food was quite basic though: a bit oversalted, lacking taste but cheap. A must try in any case.
AK A — Google review
3 products, simple as that. Very quick service, small price for small portion, but great value for food. Traditional old school place!

Located near Omnomia Square. There are no seats inside, just a quick snack stop with a few tables outside. The food comes fresh off the grill, though a bit burned from the high heat.

Gyro restaurant
Achilleas, a small and impeccably clean souvlaki restaurant in Neos Kosmos, Athens, has been a go-to spot for the best souvlaki since 1987. Their handmade gyros and juicy skewers are particularly noteworthy, with the marinated gyros standing out as unique due to its balanced spices and absence of unnecessary fats. The pork gyro is especially famous for its delicious, juicy, and spicy flavor.
An amazing local traditional Greek restaurant. I asked the chef to mix squid and shrimp dishes together and she kindly accepted. The food is super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place.
Arshia K — Google review
It very fresh and delicious with smokey taste. You NEED to go. OMG.I ordered pork. It’s the best grilled pork i ever have since I moved to Europe. It’s juicy and flavourful. I’ll go back for more! The service was friendly. I understand their main target is local people. We, as tourists, should be less demanding.

I don’t even know what I had because they didn’t have the gyro so the guy suggested something else and i nodded and it was Fabulous!!! Super tasty pita, incredible chicken, something to it…absolute bomb. very cheap too
Thekman — Google review
The best gyros we've had so far! I really appreciate that they don't include fries in the standard gyro order—unless you specifically ask for them. It makes the pita feel lighter and more balanced. My wife and I were able to enjoy two each without feeling bloated. Great flavor, satisfying portions, and a thoughtful approach to ingredients. Highly recommended!
Nikolas 2 — Google review
Ate Gyros for at least a meal a day for my entire trip in Greece. This has the be the best gyros in Athens, might even be Greece. First of all, they don’t put fries in the gyros. It comes as a side. This difference already sets it apart from the other gyros and improves the overall flavour of the gyros without the greasiness from the fries Secondly, it’s has an excellent meat, vegetable and sauce ratio. In other places, you would get too little meat, and too much sauce. The cucumbers and onions were fresh and thinly sliced. Every bite comes with a crunch. The meat so juicy and flavourful Lastly, the pita bread. They were roasted fresh on the spot. It’s crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It’s not bread. It’s roti prata without the buttery taste. The gyros is amazingly delicious. Best of all, it’s only 3.7 EUR per gyros and you get a hearty, healthy meal. You know this place is good. When you see crowds outside a little shop in a dingy neighbourhood. This is a takeaway shop
Danson A — Google review
They're the real deal! If you’re searching for the most delicious gyro in Athens, the kind that locals line up for, this is the spot. Hidden in a neighborhood, it’s refreshingly unpretentious, serving mouthwatering food with genuinely warm and attentive service.

Must to taste this culinar miracle! Place underground,service barely acceptable but...the products are treasures..youust be in the opening to avoid the big waiting time and to have the possibility to taste souvlaki pitta with gyros before finish...

O Thanasis is a popular restaurant located near Monastiraki Square in Athens, Greece. Since 1965, it has been a family-friendly establishment offering classic souvlaki grills and pitas. The restaurant is known for its no-nonsense approach to traditional Greek dishes, with a focus on meat-centric options like gyros and souvlaki. Despite being busy, the service is quick, ensuring short wait times for tables.
A place that was always full of people. Stayed in Athens for two weeks, been there three times. The pita was really good! A bit chewy but soft. The meat was very good too. The beef was tender and the chicken wasn’t dry at all.

Everything was delicious, service staff were friendly and attentive. The volume of delicious food, with excellent consistency, going out the kitchen is amazing to watch. There's no great view or romantic atmosphere, you're there to eat and eat well! PS. Excellent value for money.

This place was absolutely amazing. Our server was Arsed, and his cousin. They both took great care of us and went above and beyond. The food was great, the owner should be very proud and costa the support staff was also very generous and helpful. Great place, great prices, highly recommend. Great local authentic Greek food as well.

Probably the best local meal I’ve had in Athens. You’re seated, served your order, then they bring you the bill when asked and don’t even ask for a tip (likely the few restaurants in tourist areas that don’t). Highly recommend visiting and enjoying the food.
Terence L — Google review
This was our very first meal in Athens during the heat wave, and my son couldn’t have picked a better spot. It’s in the busy area by Monastiraki Square, but the service is super fast. The yogurt kebab was juicy and packed with flavor, and the Greek salad tasted so fresh. Portions are generous, the beer was ice-cold, and the lively vibe made the crazy heat much easier to handle. Such a great start to our trip. Highly recommend!
Maggie G — Google review
I had the yogurtlu kebab, and it was tasty and full of flavor. The portion size was huge, and although the prices are high, it was okay considering the restaurants location and the big portion size. The place was packed and had a lively vibe. We also got tzatziki, pita bread to dip in the tzatziki, and red wine, all of which were good. Due to its touristic location, the restaurant might look like a tourist trap, but they actually serve delicious food.
Simar Y — Google review
The yogourtlou kebab was actually the yummiest thing I’ve ever eaten. The meat was so tender, the sauce was so flavourful, the pita was so soft and buttery and soaked up all the flavours! Was genuinely at a loss for words, huuuge portion too which I didnt mind one bit! Mum also loved her chicken souvlaki. Some seriously delish food, can’t wait to come back to Athens some day to have it allll over again.
Elsie M — Google review
This is the oldest restaurant in Athens, founded back in 1948 — such a charming piece of history! 🇬🇷✨ We ordered the yoghurt kebab, which tasted quite good, though the portion was so big that we got a little tired of the flavor halfway through. We also tried the grilled mozzarella, which tasted exactly as you’d expect — warm, cheesy, and comforting. If you’re visiting Athens and want to experience some authentic Greek cuisine in a traditional setting, this place is definitely worth a visit. 🍽️💙

Definitely get the rice it’s very good and taste like home comfort food. The pide and lahmacun wrap were ok. Trying to be a bit different with the flavours but the bread wasn’t so soft or fluffy and a little dry so I wouldn’t say it’s the best pide I’ve had. Dessert was great though.

A while ago my friend told me that if I ever go to Athens, Greece I must go to Fayrouz Restaurant and taste their Lebanese food, It is really delicious. Finally traveled to Athens and remembered his advice so I went to Fayrouz Restaurant to taste their food. They welcomed me and asked me how I knew about this restaurant. After that, the owner of the restaurant welcomed me very warmly and she was very nice.I ordered a Sultans Nest and Peinirli Pastourma both were delicious, The restaurant was small but very nice and located in the corner of the building and the other corner is the Feyrouz Coffee Shop for the same owner, I enjoyed the food and highly recommend.

There are so many vegan places in Athens and it was real hornet's nest to choose something during a short trip, but I hit the jackpot!

Worth of trying the food here. You can have a typical famous gyros, but instead of meat, with mushrooms inside. The mushrooms, mushy but also crunchy making them a great substitute of meat. Also the vegan sauces are really good here.

Located at Pentelis 5, Athina 105 57, Greece, this popular "souvlatzidiko" offers freshly prepared meat every morning and closes once it's sold out. O Kostas has been serving delicious family recipes since the 1980s and is highly regarded among locals.

(Translated by Google) Very good neighborhood grill. Nice souvlaki, but eat it there. The store should disable the ability to place an order through the platform directly. The expected waiting time before you place the order is 20 to 30 minutes and when you finally place it, it is at best 75 minutes and finally reaches 95. Complete inconsistency and without a formal phone call or even a pretextual apology. Since you are good at the product you provide there, leave the online orders. You have not been able to serve them systematically for the last 2 years, but you are not doing anything to improve either. (Original) Πολυ καλο ψητοπωλειο της γειτονιας.

From the moment I entered the restaurant everything things started good and just got better. Ambience: The design is modern nature with lighting that accents the earth tones and naturalistic design. So when they say, “ come down in a garden” you definitely feel as in you have been set in a candle lit garden mixed with an umbrella elegant upscale restaurant! As the man out with a lady I am usually sitting in the chair as apposed to the bench, and of course these chair vary in comfort. At Vezene the chair was a solid wood frame with a leather fir. Leather cushion that made me want to order a set to take home. The bathroom was not only clean but design with every detail in mind. From the gap soap with a slight grit, to the small clothes to dry hands, and event the faucet was placed over a wooden slat sink that kept the natural design going. Service: The host, sommelier, server, server assistant, all were attentive and accommodating. We were recommended a wonderful small production semi-sweet muscat that was light fruit forward and delighted my guest. Our server went over recommendations and highlighted dishes that were staples and guest favorites. We followed her recommendation and were not disappointed by anything we tried. Plates and silverware were promptly reset for eat course. Wine and water was kept chill away from the table and refreshed as needed. Food: We tried at least 5 starters and a main dish, the core de beouef. My favorites were the pellet tomatoes with a roasted report dipping sauce and whipped cheese that was diving. And of course the Cote de beouf perfectly cooked medium sliced thin with roasted cauliflower, peppers, and garlic. Salted just so. For desert we have a dish that was moist chocolate cake with a ganaches, vanilla ice cream with winter spice, nuts. The combination of textures and layered flavors had my guest doing a little jig. Everyones taste are different so I will let the pictures speak to you. I can not recommend this restaurant enough!

Kostas is a renowned eatery in Athens, known for its delicious souvlaki wrapped in pita. The restaurant has a rich history, with the original owner's grandson now running the spotless hole-in-the-wall establishment. The menu features choice meat, tomato, onion, cayenne pepper, parsley, yogurt, and crispy pita bread. Another popular spot is Souvlakopoleion Alexandros in western Athens run by two siblings who relocated from northwestern Greece.
Absolutely delicious. This place clearly has a good reputation for a reason. The red sauce on the beef pitta was absolutely delicious. This place can get very very busy. We were fortunate to come by on a very hot day so the lines were shorter. There is a small area to sit out front. It is a nice reprieve from the heat to eat your pitta and sip on water.

Food was decent. It was our first gyro in Greece but definitely not the best. Line took a while and the food was good but could have been better. Fries were super soggy. Pita was also delicious

Best kebab pita of my trip. Bit of a wait (maybe 10-15 minutes), but the line moves quickly, and the meal is well worth the wait. They have some outdoor seating, which was filled when I was there, but the restaurant is located in a square with many seating spaces.

We tried the pita beef souvlaki. The place only sells souvlaki, not gyros, just to know. There are pork and beef options. I liked the souvlaki, the meat was soft, tasty and juicy, and the pita was very soft too. You should come here for a delicious souvlaki.

Amazing pita, with a tomato sauce instead of the tzatziki I've seen in other places. Super tasty, good price, good service. There are some tables outside to enjoy your meal. Must visit when in the surroundings.

Hands down, best gyro spot in Athens. For being in the dead city center, its prices are impressively cheap and its food is very delicious. The founder has been there for several decades and he was there when we went. We just asked him to make us something he recommended and thought we would like. He made us a beef gyro with a tomato sauce that I haven’t tried anywhere else. The beer is also $1.50 and well worth it. During lunch and dinner time, there will definitely be a line. The food comes out very fast.

It was really good so it does live up to the hype I would say by the lineup and wait gets pretty lengthy at times which is unfortunate. Food is fresh and the prices are fair so if you have the patience to wait or if you ever pass by and there’s no line I’d definitely recommend to give it a try.

In addition to its diverse souvlaki menu, Kalamaki Kolonaki also serves salads and dips.

Greek salad is good, but the rest of food was tasteless. Besides, they charge for the bottle of water we even didn't ask while in most places around Athens they give a bottle free of charge as a compliment.

Tomas Kebab, established in 1983, is a renowned eatery in Athens that has its roots in Armenia and the Levant. The owner, Tomas, brought his expertise in local cuisines to Athens and opened this famous souvlaki shop. Specializing in kebabs made from beef, lamb, or chicken along with delightful falafels, Tomas has perfected the art of kebab-making. His son Marios also contributes to the family business.
The chicken kebab was good. The fries exceptional. The waiter speaks English and communication is very smooth.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has such high ratings. We sat down, waited, and no one brought us a menu. Eventually, we had to get up and grab it ourselves. Then a staff member came to our table and spoke to us in an incredibly rude and impatient manner, as if we were bothering him just by being there. He answered our questions with visible annoyance and brought the food and water by practically slamming them on the table. Even if the food is decent, service like this completely ruins the experience. Hospitality is about more than just food — it’s about treating people with respect. This restaurant failed at that on every level. If I hadn’t been starving late at night, I would’ve walked out. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. A place with this kind of attitude doesn’t deserve the praise it gets.

Found this place through an article in a magazine, about the best kebab places in Athens. The shop is very old but original. Reminded me of the kebab shops of the 70’s. The kebab preparing area though is refurbished. I tried the original kebab and I was impressed. Smooth flavor, not heavy or very spicy, with good balance of salt and fat. This is not the place that you will visit to stay for dinner, since there are only 3 tables. But I highly recommend it for take away, if your appetite needs a good and original kebab.

Kafteros is a long-standing family-run eatery located in the Kato Halandri area of Athens. Since 1970, it has been known for its spicy sauce recipe and simple, no-frills atmosphere. The menu features skewered pork, chicken, and kebab, with the latter being a standout item. Despite its unassuming nature, the place boasts a loyal clientele that appreciates its quality offerings. The traditional souvlaki with a spicy twist is particularly popular among patrons.

If there’s one souvlaki place that’s stayed with me over the years. Tucked away on a quiet side street, it doesn’t look like much — until you see the line outside every evening. Everything is grilled to order, no shortcuts. But the real magic is in the red sauce. Spicy, addictive, and completely unique. I have no idea what’s in it, but I can’t get enough. For me, this is hands down as one the best souvlaki in Athens. I also love it because the place feels like it’s locked in another time — like nothing has changed in 20 years. It’s not just the food, it’s the whole atmosphere. A taste of old Athens, still alive.

Honestly, nothing special. I know that it's one of the old school spots in the area, but visiting it in 2023, I cannot see the thrill. His sauce is good, extra spicy, so if you enjoy that definitely go for it. Other than that, the quality of chicken and pork meat in the pita was okeish - mediocre. The place is always crowded inside so be prepared to wait. A wiser decision would be the take away option.

The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance with excellent service and generous portions of traditional Greek cuisine. Additionally, guests can savor the delightful homemade wine sourced from the village of Liondi.
This meal was one to remember. We had a party of 9 and ate around 8 pm after our Acropolis tour. To start, the service was exquisite. Very nice and fun people and acted like they loved their job. Next we ordered the “Poseidon package” which was basically every seafood they had and it was the best. We also got an assortment of desserts to top it off. As for the atmosphere, we sat on the patio and the vibe was awesome. Would highly recommend!

This restaurant was outstanding in every way. The waiters were friendly and helpful which made for a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We never felt rushed in spite of people being turned away because no more tables were available. The calamari was the best we’ve eaten in Athens. We ordered the moussaka because we’d read that they received awards for theirs, but we found it a bit dry. The tzikki was excellent! We are planning to return tonight to try other dishes on their menu, just because we felt so welcomed and at home in this setting.

We had a wonderful dinner at To Liondi while visiting Athens. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor especially the grilled octopus and the grouper, which was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Every dish showed care and authenticity, from the warm pita to the traditional moussaka. The atmosphere was lively yet welcoming, and the staff made us feel genuinely appreciated without being overbearing. If you’re looking for a spot near the Acropolis that combines excellent food, friendly service, and a true Greek dining experience, To Liondi is absolutely worth a visit.

It is a great spot for authentic Greek food with a cozy vibe. The tzatziki was super fresh, the calamari perfectly crispy, and the saganaki rich and cheesy. The grilled fish was tender and full of flavor, but the prawns in mushroom cream sauce stole the show, so good. We finished with galaktoboureko with ice cream, both amazing. Overall, delicious food, great portions, and definitely worth a visit if you’re craving real Greek flavors.

Not through online but make sure either phone or personal visit. The inside is better than outside. Service was very good. Please note that they have very very big portions therefore my recommendation is to go with main dish only and if you want to try more just order one saganaki. You won’t be able to finish all of it. Price are fair. Recommended.

I had a great overall experience at this cozy spot in Greece. I started with a Greek coffee, which was really good—rich, strong, and m reminded me of Egyptian or Turkish coffee. For starters, I had the fried cheese bites. Most of them were delicious, crispy on the outside with gooey cheese inside, but one was still partially frozen in the center and a few had a slightly bitter, undercooked doughy taste. For my main, I went with the pork gyro platter, which came with pita and potatoes. The pork was flavorful but a bit dry and not hot enough. I found myself wanting a bit more pita to go with it. The white dipping sauce on the side was creamy and flavorful, a perfect match for the meat, definitely the highlight of the plate. The service was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the meal, which really added to the experience. At the end, they brought out a free dessert—a soft, fragrant orange cake with cinnamon that was absolutely amazing and easily my favorite part of the meal. That said, the restaurant does strike me as being geared more toward tourists, likely due to its location and a menu that is partly ready-made or pre-frozen. While that doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment, it’s something to keep in mind. I’m giving it four stars because while the food and service were very enjoyable, there were a couple of small execution issues. Still, I’d happily return for the coffee and cake.

I loved this place, even on a hot day the garden was cool and covered in shade from the vines growing overhead. Fairy lights and stone walls added to a great atmosphere. And the food... it was very tasty and fresh. Squid was exquisite: fresh, soft and only dusted in flour as opposed to heavy battered oily and rubbery thing you find in some places. And you get the whole plate of just squid and lemon, no silly plate fillers.

The restaurant prides itself on using locally cultivated ingredients to create authentic flavors. Housed in a neoclassical building in Koukaki, it has been a favorite among travelers for years and is known for its regional specialties such as travihtes and green salad with sour apple.
Very good restaurant with kind, attentive staff and beautifully prepared dishes. The flavors were excellent across the board — the mushroom fricassee was rich and earthy, the Greek salad was fresh and unique, and the couscous main dish was truly delightful. If I may offer one small suggestion: the portion sizes, especially for the starters, could easily be scaled down a bit. Even with a good appetite (and having fasted 11 hours before the meal!), I found the quantities a little too much, which can take away from fully appreciating the progression of the meal. The setting is relaxed and unpretentious — not fancy, but welcoming. Overall, no regrets at all. A very good experience, tasty and thoughtful cuisine. A few small adjustments on portioning would make it even better.

We had Greek salad that was truly refreshing with the frozen cucumber slushie, nice touch, we also had squid with fresh courgettes and couscous with lots of lime and some mint, was a taste bomb on palates and we had cod with parsnip puree and fried polenta with feta, which was also excellent. I wish we came for dinner and tasted everything on the menu, I recommend the place to fellow foodies. The only negative was that the tables are too close to each other.

The portions are generous; I had the Clay Pot Baked Moussaka (they also have a vegetarian option, but I went for the classic one) and it was absolutely delicious, definitely worth trying. The Greek salad was also excellent, and for just €0.40 they served warm, delicious pita! The wine we ordered was also excellent. To finish, they offered us some ice cream — the perfect way to end the meal ❤️.

Very cute restaurant with amazing food! Best moussaka of my life. I also tried the vegetarian option and surprisingly, it was even better. Many locals where eating here and it felt like a real Greek taverna, not so touristic. I highly recommend it!

Rozalia is a true gem in Exarcheia, offering exceptional value for money. The portions are hearty and generous, perfect for sharing. Every dish feels like a celebration of traditional Greek cooking, full of authentic flavors and warmth. Vegetarians will be especially delighted, as the menu includes a wide and nicely curated selection of veggie options. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food, friendly service, spacious space, elegant atmosphere. I went there with a big group with work colleagues. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to different diat requirements. Because we were a bug group we had a set menu, still plenty to choose from. All the food was fresh and delicious. We were the loudest group there, thank you for the staff for being so friendly and accommodating to a big group of Australians.

Visited for dinner and ordered via the a la carte menu. The atmosphere is beautiful and the waiting staff were very friendly and as attentive as they should be. Many of the items were great (with the exception of the Greek rib eye which was slightly underwhelming) but they all lacked the wow factor you expect at such a price range. The Spanish beef fillet was amazing and definitely the highlight of the night. All in all, Cookoovaya is a very nice option in the area, but there are far better options at this price range.

The restaurant is definitely in the top 10% of local greek cuisine. Modern approach to excellent ingredients with talented kitchen staff and very good table service. My waitress Anastasia was fabulous, charming and knew the menu. Praises to chef the cuisine- Anna. They have one more new location on an island.

Really dissapointing food. Extremely expensive for what it is. A salad of basically boiled potatoes for €20, the tiniest piece of amberjack fish served with literaly half a zuchini for €38, the driest piece of seabass fish served with barely boiled wild greens for €35. An untasteful joke. The service was great though! The tables near the open kitchen get way too much heat, best avoid.
NA — Google review
I'm going this place the benefit of the doubt, it came highly recommended but I wasn't blown away by this meal. The raw fish of the day was so citrusy it was overpowering, I couldn't enjoy the natural flavors of the raw fish or other ingredients, it was just a melange of textures "a la limon." Truly disappointing bc I love a good crudo, and it wasn't cheap. My second dish was was the slow cooked goat, it was juicy and tender, but slightly on the sweet side which isn't my preferred flavor profile but others might enjoy it. The potatoes that accompany it were more like potato chips than fries. The staff was kind, and the restaurant is beautiful, don't know if I will give it another try as its quite pricy. One other thing, I didn't enjoy the style of service here in Athens that I experienced a few times at fine dining restaurants. As soon as you sit down, the waiter appears and, even before you get the menu they ask if you would like a certain item, it feels rushed, the client feels pressured and its s bit sneaky to ask if they want to have something like bread if its a premium product w an upsell without letting them know. I'd give this place a 3.9 if I could but since its not a 3 I'll give it a 4, in my opinion.

Souvlaki Kostas is a renowned eatery in Athens, known for its authentic and exceptional souvlaki. The restaurant has a rich history, with the current owners' grandfather, Kostas, running it since 1950. The quality of the meat and its preparation are exceptional, and the pita bread is described as dry rather than greasy.
The best gyro we had in Athens for sure. The line was a 30 minute wait but worth it. We had 2 pork and 1 beef gyro, both were great. I highly recommend stopping in for this lunch, even if the line seems long. The guy on the grill is the owner and was very friendly to chat with for a brief moment.

Recently stumbled upon this GEM on our honeymoon in Greece and wish we found it sooner. The food was amazing - best we had in all of Greece. Their calamari was to die for. Octopus was also amazing as well as their lamb orzo. The place was very busy and we did not have a reservation. They were able to seat us after waiting a few minutes. The server forgot to bring us water after asking 3 times for it, but we were happy to have a table. Food was worth it!!!

Before coming to Athens I did some research on good restaurants. Ella’s was on my list. So I went there on the first evening. The place is larger than expected. I could easily grab a chair. It has tables on both sides of the building and others inside (on street level and mezzanine). The food was delicious and the service was friendly and fast. With two glasses of wine, tap water, baked chick peas, pita bread, lamb orzo and octopus I ended up paying roughly 60 Euro, which is totally fair for the quality and average level for good places in Athens (to my experience).

First and foremost I would like to thank you for the great hospitality and the laidback atmosphere while serving fantastic food. We visited 3 or 4 times in a short time span, trying as much as we could. I can say hands down that everything we tried was fantastic, from the Giouvetsi, zucchini fritters, baked Feta to the absolutely mouthwatering Black Pork Souvlaki. The smell(and taste of course) of the latter will stick with me for probably a lifetime. Would also like to thank Nodas and the rest of the staff for the great service and conversation. Looking forward to visiting in the future. Best Regards.

Great restaurant if you want to have dinner away from the tourist areas. The food was delicious, the service was great. Visited twice. We even ordered a dish that wasn't to our taste (nothing wrong with the food, we just misjudged) and the staff were very kind, and weren't charged for the dish. The salads were delicious and big, the halloumi was perfectly made and one dish is enough for two people. Would definitely visit again when in Athens!

This was a great location from Hotel Zafolia, a quick 5min walk. A hotel staff member suggest on our first day in Athens. It has a very open feel and was nice to be able to see outside while enjoying dinner and drinks. We ordered the appetizers for two- which was a meal on its own. It had two of everything- Saganaki cheese (2), meat balls (2), pork chops (2), sausages (2), lots of fries, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and olives! I ordered the grilled bass which had great flavor and came with potatoes and boiled veggies. My husband ordered a chicken special that said came with some type of pasta however I think they misunderstood what he wanted and he got chicken kabob with a baked potato. The chicken had amazing flavor and was very tender and juicy. The potato had a bit to much sour cream on it. We were finished the waited brought us each a piece of orange cake. It was very moist with an interesting mouth feel and taste. The prices here are very reasonable and affordable. Overall, we would go again!

And make sure to try the mastika ice cream as a final sweet finish + pallet cleanser. (One note to the kitchen: I found the Greek salad slightly too salty!) Be sure to book in advance on the weekends.

Papadakis is a truly charming restaurant: the atmosphere is elegant and carefully curated, creating a warm and relaxed setting that’s perfect for dinner. The service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The cuisine focuses on traditional Greek seafood dishes — simple but very well executed. The menu isn’t particularly extensive, but every dish is thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients. Among the dishes I tried, the barley with shrimp stood out — really delicious and definitely worth trying. We also had a fish soup as a starter, which was excellent as well: rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. Overall, a pleasant and genuine experience — ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy traditional seafood in an elegant yet cozy environment.

The restaurant offers an array of authentic Eastern dishes. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some things on the menu were really solid but others were either odd or over cooked. The Kebap meat was really good but the domus sis was dry and a little too charred. The rice was actually the stand out for me, lovely fragrant flavour. I would come back to try other dishes but I wouldn’t say it was the best Eastern food in Athens.

Conveniently, there’s Wi-Fi and outlets near tables. Clean restrooms are on the second floor where there’s more seating. The food is really good and the portions are very big so plan accordingly. When you sit down, your server brings you their regular menu, their daily specials list, cold water, and warm bread. To feee four of us, we ordered the fried mushrooms, zucchini pie, kale salad, gigante beans, and salmon. We left with bellies full and leftovers. Every dish was tasty!

Such a great place for take away or dine in. Everything is made to order, so it will take fifteen minutes to prepare the food. These are similar to arancini - round breading covering a center with various ingredients. I had one order of beef & parmesean for lunch. 6 pieces, nice take away box too eat on the go. My only comment... It came with a sweet thai sauce and I think it would have been better with a tomato sauce. This type of dish is especially known for fruits and chocolate breakfast type options.

In late July on a very hot first night in Athens, we went to dinner here. We had looked at many menus online and went with Omorfi Polis. It met all of our expectations, and in fact, exceeded them with their thoughtful and attentive service. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. They placed us at the best table for our family, they made recommendations based on what we liked, and their service was very prompt, while we never felt rushed to leave once we finished our meal. There was a delightful surprise treat (no charge)provided at the end of the meal and they took our boys outside and let them wet their hats in the spray fans in order to stay cool. The atmosphere was wonderfully warm and Greek to celebrate our first night in Athens. The location was perfect, allowing us to check out the flea market streets and shopping both before and after dinner. We highly recommend Omorfi Polis!

The owner runs a tight ship, and the servers are extremely on the ball with everything - we put an empty coke bottle down and it was off the table within seconds. We finished looking at the menu and they were over to take the order within minutes. We never felt rushed, but it was just very attentive and friendly service.

Birdman Japanese Bar + Grill is a cozy spot that offers a unique blend of Japanese cuisine and Greek flavors. Located in an unassuming alley below Syntagma Square, this eatery is the brainchild of chef Aris Vezenes.
The restaurant was incredible, food, drinks and vibes. Amazing playlist today. The broccoli skewer was a really notable dish as it was incredible and I don’t necessarily love broccoli. I would highly recommend it to my friends to go there. I had a great time.

What a night! Great music, great food, great service, and if that weren't enough, great cocktails. I know there are many different restaurants and bars in Athens, but there's no other place where they all come together in one place.

What an evening! We were greeted by vinyl soul music and lovely hosts. We enjoyed our evening at the bar in front of the busy grill. Perfectly executed food: we had a wide range of japanese skewers, fresh appetizers and nice cocktails and draught beer. Everything was exeptional. Service was lovely as well and always there, when we wanted to order. Perfect in every way! It gets really busy, so plan ahead and book a reservation! Definitely one of our highlights on our trip!

I’ve been to Birdman twice 6 months apart and each one was a true culinary experience. A friend had originally recommended this spot and after our first time, we could not wait to get back to Athens and visit this restaurant once again. Their version of fusion foods are exceptionally prepared and truly delicious. This time we invited our friends and we could not have enough of anything we tasted. We will surely be coming here the next time we visit Athens.

The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy, the music is great, and the service is spot-on friendly, attentive, and fast. Every dish is packed with flavor; the wagyu skewers and crispy rice are unforgettable! The cocktails are perfectly balanced and beautifully presented.

One of the very best spots in Athens. The atmosphere, the people, the music, and the service are outstanding. The food is out of this world: yakitori, nigiri, katsu sando, tataki, tartar, and gyoza are perfection. Cocktails and sake are excellent, and the vibe is always great with top DJs. I come to Athens frequently, and this is the place I never miss. A true must-visit in the city. As a wine lover, my only wish would be for a larger wine list, since everything else is so thoughtfully curated. Special mention to Vasya, who is simply amazing—her warm welcome, professionalism, and ability to organize everything flawlessly make every visit exceptional. Eftechia, with her passion for wine, and Chris at the bar, with his energy and talent, also deserve recognition. And truly, the whole team makes Birdman such an organic, welcoming place where service and hospitality shine every time.

Overcooked & over seasoned. I love yakitori and generally go the best one in whatever city I’m in. The reviews for Birdman, are so good, I was excited to try them out, but It fell well below the hype. The sticks, instead of coming out one by one, came at the same time. So you can’t eat them hot and fresh. The meat was universally really overcooked and stacked in sauces. So instead of complimenting the chicken, it overwhelmed. With so much great grilled meat in the city, it’s a real shame.

The Syrian restaurant Γεύσεις της Δαμασκού - Tastes of Damascus in Kypseli is a great place to go for delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. The taboule is my favourite dish here, but the falafel is also very good. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the location is really cool - it's in an interesting part of town.
Really lovely restaurant with good dining experience. The staff are lovely and they give a free bottle of water which was great on a hot day. We ordered falafel and it's milder on the spice compared to others, you can really taste the chickpea. The pickles were also amazing! Dessert is delicious the white one like a jelly and the brown one a thick syrup style so very sweet. Would definitely recommend.

Delicous place! Perfect option for non animal eaters (Vegeterians). Affordable? Yes!!!! You can easily eat with less than 5 euros. But if you like to have appetizers, entry, and desserts, you will not pay more than 20 euros. Food? Great flavors on the falafel sandwich. I ordered the cheese balls and they were delicous but too heavy for one person to eat ( in my opinion). They are greater if shared. Atmosphere? Right on the sidewalk of a very local neighborhood! I am highly recommending this place. Especially because they love animals as much as I do. Ahh, and their left overs are donated, and they are enviromental friendly! What else can you ask for? Keep up the great job!

I had really wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time for some nice fatteh, but when I finally went yesterday, I was very disappointed. When we arrived, there was only one lady serving all the tables. I understand that it can be overwhelming for one person to handle everything, but either more staff are needed, or the service should at least remain friendly and welcoming under pressure (in the hospitaly business). She didn’t greet us or say hello when we arrived. After we chose a table and sat down, we even started wondering if it was self-service. The lady came a bit later and placed a bottle of water on the table — without glasses — then disappeared. The table still had bits of food on it and flies were hovering around. We asked her if she could clean it because the flies were bothering my baby, and she said something I didn't hear as she walked away. She came back with placemats and menus, placing them directly on the dirty table, with the food scraps and flies still there. After waiting quite a while without any service, we decided to leave. My husband even tried speaking to her in Arabic, but she didn’t respond. To be honest I wasn’t sure if she spoke Greek, Arabic, or English.

Taste of Damascus is an eco-friendly restaurant serving healthy vegetarian Middle Eastern cuisine and offering training and job opportunities to asylum-seekers and refugees. After completing the restaurant training course, students are invited to apply to work at Taste of Damascus. There they receive support to complete the paperwork that is required to hire them. This incentive is created by Za’atar NGO non-profit organization dedicated to helping refugees in Greece. The food at the Taste of Damascus was so delicious, everything we tried was made fresh and beautifully presented. We ordered falafel plate paired with mezzés (hummus, moutabal/aubergine dip, muhammara/spicy dip). We also ordered fatteh. Fatteh is a dish made with crispy bread topped with chickpeas, tahini, yoghurt, lemon and cumin, it is served warm. The restaurant service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. Highly recommend.

The tabbouleh was all bulgur, it didn’t look like real tabbouleh The staff member was very rude The food didn’t taste like Syrian or Lebanese food at all. We only ate because we were hungry and had already ordered. I asked for hummus but I actually meant fatteh, and you told me it couldn’t be changed. This restaurant might only be suitable for people who don’t know how real Arabic food is supposed to taste. This experience will not be repeated. Of course, I have pictures of how the food looked.

The food was pretty good especially the falafel, which honestly stole the show. The fattah, however, felt like it showed up unprepared for its own performance. As for the staff… let’s just say warmth was not on the menu. Our waitress was so silent and cold, I started wondering if we owed her money in a past life. We received the menus without a single word, not even a basic “hello”..it felt like we were sneaking in to eat for free. Great food potential, but someone please defrost the service!

I can say the food was excellent. We had one falafel with kebab and one with eggplant, and we were positively surprised by the taste that was balanced and not heavy.

Some food is good, only Falafel is very plain, like frozen ones in grocery store. Returned to try more, but ordering is a mess. I ordered a chicken, a kabob, a hummus. But found out hummus is missing in my bag. Called but with no luck in communication. sadly it’s a disappointing experience. I paid €21 for what is in the picture.

This place has the BEST wraps in Athens. It is located not in the best area but that does not mean you shouldn't come. If you are a foodie, come here. The highlights from the menu are the chicken straws, the falafel wraps with eggplant(amazing,"falafel pita me melanzana"), you take a bite and you literally have an explosion of flavors in your mouth, it's so good you feel like you are not in Athens, eating their falafel wrap is like travelling+relaxing+feeling at home somehow(I'm italian and as you all know we love food), other great specials are the liver wraps(yummy!). The prices are very good. Cheaper than anywhere else in Athens. The cashier, the staff in general is very welcoming and they are pretty fast. There are few chairs and tables but you won't be able to sit if in a big group because it's usually packed as a place. 100% recommended ! Bare in mind the pics are from another day I visited. This place is the best falafel place in Athens! Ps. I'm a serial reviewer so please leave a like if I helped you out choosing this spot, cheers!

Food is 5/5, but the fact that they will scam foreigners and charge them more is a 1/5. We ordered 2 falafel plates, a kebab sandwich, babaganoush (eggplant dip), and a coke. It should have cost 19€, but they instead charged us around 20% more. The falafel plates at 6€ were supposed to come with fries but they didn’t. We asked them for fries, and instead of including this, they then had the audacity to charge us extra for a side of fries. I tried explaining this but they said that this was the price. Unfortunate, but in the future we would ensure everything was provided before eating. Food is good though. Falafel is excellent, moist, and soft. Kebab sandwich is fresh, spiced nicely, and cooked well. Babaganoush is blended nicely and very eggplant forward. And fries are really good quality. If only the payment issue was ok, this would’ve been 5/5.

Chef Leonidas Koutsopoulos puts a tasty twist on modern Greek food, offering playful dishes and whimsical cocktails that pair perfectly with the food.

Heard a lot about this place, but honestly, you have to try it to understand—A M A Z I N G! Service was on point, and the cocktails were exceptional, perfectly paired with the menu. We started with the avocado tzatziki (good) and a salad (amazing). For mains, the lemon chicken and slow-cooked beef were both outstanding. Highly recommend!

Incredible food, friendly service in a vibrant atmosphere. This small restaurant is without question the best we have visited in Athens. The Red Sea bream is incredible and the Yphes salad takes Greek salads to the next level. To finish, crème brûlée with everything - a taste of orange, touches of dark chocolate mousse and home made vanilla ice cream that has something extra in it…. Superb! This restaurant is a must visit.

This place has been my absolute favorite meal of our trip in Athens. It’s in an area with a lot less foot traffic so you feel like you have the whole area to yourself and can get away from it all. The food is absolutely amazing. The salad, bread and mushrooms were my amazing but the sauces and the chicken were mind blowing. Make sure you hit them up!
Stephen C — Google review
This place is overpriced for what it is. The food looks pretty and great on Instagram, but not much more. If you're an influencer, go right ahead. If you're a foodie, best avoid. My kale salad arrived drowning in vinegar. The Pirozhki tartare was completely unseasoned. So basically raw beef, a pickle, and egg yolk. The Moussaka dumpling was the best of a bad bunch, however once again while conceptually and visually good, it was severely lacking in the flavour department. The dumpling skins tasted doughy and raw - have they gone to gyoza school, I wonder? It didn't even taste steamed. And the tomato paste used in the sauce tasted like it was still raw and straight out of the can. If the prices were at 5-7 Euro per dish, I wouldn't complain this much, but it was €54.50, including a €12 glass of wine and €4 small bottle of sparkling water! So because of the price and what it was pretending to be (and it was not), it's a solid 2 stars from me.

This was my second visit - I usually go to the sister restaurant Feedέλ Assador, as it's close to me. I know what to expect from these restaurants. Good atmosphere, great service, inspired food and cocktails. On my last visit there was a dish that was sub-par, which was unusual, this time though they got a 7 out of 7 for excellence. You really can't go wrong with any dish, from the soup and salad, to the piroski tartare and the beef cheeks. It's always delicious modern fusion takes on mostly greek dishes. The cocktails are as interesting - find the one that looks more to your style and give it a try. In general, it is probably better to go with a bigger company than 2 so you can try more dishes (the recommendation is 2/person to share, which works quite well - well, plus desert!).

The interior features carefully designed marble tables, straw-seat chairs, colorful rugs, and an elaborate mosaic image on the wall.

We were recommended Dopios and it didn’t disappoint. Tucked away on a lively street near a beautiful old church, the setting alone makes it worth the visit—but it’s the experience that truly stands out. We ordered the olive oil tasting platter, a vibrant Greek salad, and their perfectly braised octopus—all full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming, quick, and genuinely friendly, adding warmth to the evening from the moment we arrived. We sat outdoors, surrounded by a relaxed crowd and gentle music that added to the atmosphere. The indoor area looked equally inviting, but the patio seating offered a front-row seat to the local buzz of the area. Prices were more than fair for the quality, and the overall vibe was just right—family-friendly, tourist-friendly, and full of character. It was one of those dinners where everything just felt easy and enjoyable. Would we go back? Definitely. It’s a great spot to unwind, try interesting Greek dishes, and soak in Athens at its best. Highly recommended for couples, families, tourists, and food lovers. Michel

We arrived about 20-25min before our reservation time and were kindly greeted by Theodore, who told us we could sit outside by the church and order drinks while we waited for our table. Although it was a Monday night, it was busy and we overheard them telling people without a reservation that it would take about an hour to get a table, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time (keep in mind they do call you a couple of hours before to confirm that you're coming). Very nice atmosphere and vibe. It's a sharing concept so the portions are on the smaller side and you order multiple dishes. We were 2 people and ordered 5 dishes (none of which were from the "Big Plates" section of the menu). That was more than enough and we didn't even have room for dessert. The staff was kind and friendly, though the service was a bit slow at times. No big deal, very good overall. The food was good, well made and fresh. We had somewhat high expectations as we came after friends praised their fusion style dishes. I can't say we were impressed, but definitely not disappointed either. We very much enjoyed our evening and would go again, perhaps to the Glyfada unit. (For what it's worth, the person sitting next to us had gone to their Glyfada restaurant twice and was now trying this one). At the end, we were treated with a Mastika digestive shot, which was a nice touch and and a great way to end our evening.

Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish that can be found in traditional tavernas, fine dining establishments, and street food shops. It's often served with generous portions of meat and accompanied by tasty tzatziki. Some places offer quick service with reasonable prices, making it a great option for a quick and delicious bite that won't break the bank. The dish is often praised for its fresh ingredients and clean cooking methods.
I recently enjoyed some delicious souvlaki from a popular street vendor. The flavors were fantastic, and the price was quite reasonable considering the quality. The place was bustling with lots of people, which added to the lively atmosphere. There’s also a bit of seating available right on the street, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the food while people-watching. Overall, it was a great experience!

We were lucky to get a table but many customers had to either eat their food standing or go another place. It costed 3.8€ for a pita gyro. It's cheap but you don't get much food and we were still hungry afterwards. In addition, it didn't taste that good as expected. We had tried better ones before.

This is for me personally the best place for a Gyro in Athens city center! The meat is always fresh, and whatever you choose (chicken or pork gyro) you will not ma a mistake! Every time I come to Athens I go there to eat a gyro 🇷🇸🇬🇷

Greek restaurant
Diporto is a hidden gem located near the central vegetable market, accessible through an unmarked double door and descending worn stone steps. This tavern dates back to 1887 and is steeped in history, rumored to have been a wine bar during Socrates' time. The subterranean space is filled with wooden wine barrels and rustic tables around a metal stove where traditional Greek dishes are prepared. Run by Mr.
It definitely isn’t for everyone. We enjoyed the simplicity of the served dishes, it was a set of simple home-cooked dishes (chickpea soup, bean stew and grilled sardines) accompanied by white wine. We enjoyed the authenticity of the place, I did not feel like in a typical restaurant where the aura, service and everything around is more important than the quality of food. Do not expect gourmet cuisine and you won’t be disappointed. We were sat with another random pair of tourists which we enjoyed too! Great opportunity to interact with people you would not normally interact with.

I liked the cultural experience. I read different things about the staff but we had an amazing experience. They were nice and appreciative . It’s only the owner/chef and the helper. You go downstairs, they give you a table, and you wait. They give you food , whatever they make that day. No menus, no options, none of that. Just like a homemade place in which grandpa cooks and you eat what you get. It felt culturally amazing. Simple, and nice. The price is set (15euros a person) including wine and all the food. You get salad, 2 different types of soup, fish, wine and bread. I left stuffed and happy with the experience. (The photo is of my husband and the owner, LOL)

This was one of the best dining experiences we had in Athens. There is a set menu and it’s delicious! Best garbanzo soup I’ve ever had! Everything was so good! The atmosphere feels authentic in a basement with large wine barrels and only a few tables. The chef is an old man cooking in the corner on a tiny stove and grill. Very reasonably priced, especially for the quality and touristy location. Highly recommend!

Tucked away beneath the bustling streets of central Athens, Diporto is a hidden gem that captures the soul of traditional Greek dining. With no sign outside and no menu to speak of, this old taverna offers a truly authentic experience — simple, soulful dishes served with warmth and character. The food is fresh, rustic, and deeply flavorful — think hearty beans, fresh fish, and local beer poured straight from the barrel. The atmosphere feels like stepping back in time, with wooden barrels lining the walls and the hum of conversation filling the room. Diporto isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience — unpretentious, genuine, and absolutely unforgettable.

Was trying for years to visit the place but because we were a large group it was not possible until today. The wait definitely paid off. It's a place run by an 80 year old owner since he was 13!!! The place hosted famous people and not so famous for years. It's a hidden jewel in a nobble basement. The choices are limited but every plate is full of taste and tradition. Tables are limited and if you are lucky enough to find one seize the chance.

A tasty chickpea stew with bread and a glass of wine for €9. No compliants there. I suspect this place is not for most visitors or even locals. The rustic feel is certainly interesting, but it is not a restaurant in the normal sense of the word. no menu, 1 serving of stew is not enough for a lunch, etc etc. Having said that, I don't mind going there again to try whatever the old guy cooks on that day, and I'll then head to the central market nearby to have some seafood ...

Diporto was a unique and memorable stop during my time in Athens. Hidden underground in a graffiti-covered neighborhood, it feels like stepping into an old, authentic Athenian kitchen — no menus, no fancy presentation, just a true local experience. The place has a warm, homey vibe, and the simplicity of it all makes it stand out. They don’t offer many options, but that’s part of the charm — you get what’s cooking that day, and it’s all fresh and traditional. It was actually refreshing to take a break from the usual gyros and heavy, oily dishes you find everywhere else. The food was simple but good, with that homemade taste you can’t fake. It’s a bit on the pricey side considering how modest the setup is, but the experience and atmosphere make it worth a visit. Definitely a spot for those who appreciate authenticity and old-school dining.

I’ve had this placed pinned to go for years and finally made it! I love how discreet it is, the cozy and family run feel. No menu, just what the sweetest papou has cooked up for the day and it was DELICIOUSLY rustic, home style cooking for the soul served along with their own wine.

Geros Tou Moria Restaurant is a hidden gem that has been serving authentic Greek cuisine since 1927. This family-owned establishment offers a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it a beloved spot for both locals and travelers. The menu features traditional dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, and the friendly staff are always ready to guide you through their offerings.
Spontaneously ended up at this mini rooftop. If you’re looking for a place to sip on a cocktail after you tour the acropolis this is the place. I had the Paloma which was very refreshing after trekking up the hill to the pantheon! I really enjoyed the beautiful colors and scenery of all the little cafes. It’s one of the most picturesque areas of Athens!

Went here as an impromptu dinner spot after a lovely welcome from the waiters and were not at all disappointed. The orange juice was fresh and I tried the tomatoes with stuffed rice for the first time - these were cooked so well and full of flavour. The seating was nice outside with some lovely live music as well!

Cozy rooftop with gorgeous view. Sit on the rail by the inside restaurant to hear the live Greek music and see the traditional dancing. The grilled octopus was perfect, and local wine was a great recommendation. They have many tables linking the steps up the hill which is a fun experience to try on our next visit. The tzatziki was excellent and we put it on everything. Great date night spot and worth the drive from Athens to Plaka. Reservations recommended!

I had an awkward experience here. I am a half black half white American, and I’m not sure what exactly it was, but the staff treated me very strangely especially when it was time to pay. It was as if they didn’t think I was going to, because they were hawk eyeing my every move it seemed. Also, some of the patrons would point and murmur and it just felt very uncomfortable. At this point I have been to quite a few bars and restaurants and have never felt like this, and I don’t exactly know what it was about me that made everyone behave so strangely here. On a side note, the life music and the vibe was very nice and interesting, so as a local or someone who looks like a local, you’d likely have a better experience. I wanted to like this place but there were just too many moments where I felt like a zoo animal that I just can’t recommend for others who look like me. The lamb chops were okay but very chewy and not quite as good as other places nearby. Good luck!

The Zillers Roof Garden is a sophisticated boutique hotel with a rooftop restaurant that offers stunning views of the Acropolis of Athens. The rooftop features an abstract style with green marble and a garden, providing a pleasant atmosphere for guests to enjoy gourmet delicacies. This Michelin-star restaurant serves as an all-day venue, starting with morning service and continuing through brunch and dinner.
We visited the restaurant, where there was a slight hiccup with our booking, but they managed to accommodate us. We were glad they did because it turned out to be an incredible experience. We opted for the smaller tasting menu, and each dish was a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The presentation and timing of the dishes were impeccable, creating a visually stunning and enjoyable dining experience. The staff was exceptionally kind and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. The highlight of our visit was the breathtaking view of the Acropolis at night, which added a touch of magic to the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.

I stayed at The Zillers with a friend a few months ago and we honestly could not recommend the hotel and restaurant highly enough. The dinner and wine pairing were amazing and showcased a variety of elements of Greek culture and cuisine. The staff were incredibly attentive and the view of the acropolis made for a beautiful atmosphere. The hotel staff, however, were the absolute highlight for me. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and maintained excellent communication both before and after our stay. I'll contextualise this statement... upon arriving in Athens from Australia to start a month of euro summer, I was informed that my suitcase had been lost. I received no additional information from the airline and could not get in contact with an airline representative in Greece, Australia, or elsewhere to sort the situation out. We also only had one night in Athens before island hoping. The reception staff at the Zillers took the issue on for me, and continued to communicate with Athens Airport even after I had checked out. The amazing staff managed to get my suitcase back to me a few days later - something I genuinely believe would not have happened without their help. From now on, I will be staying here anytime I go to Athens and I will be recommending this amazing hotel and restaurant to friends and family.

I recently visited Zillers Gastronomy with my two friends, Anna and Marianna, and we all absolutely loved it! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The food was not only delicious but truly special — every plate was beautifully presented and full of incredible flavors. The staff was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain each dish, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. The breathtaking view of the Acropolis added the perfect touch to an already magical atmosphere. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but every euro felt worth it for such a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The service, the taste, the view — everything was simply fantastic. It’s easy to see why Ziller's has earned it's Michelin star — it’s completely deserved.

We only dined here, we did not stay here. The service was outstanding. We arrived a few minutes early and were promptly led up the elevator to our table. With there being 4 of us, we had to split into 2 groups for the elevator because it was very small and it had a full mop bucket inside. That was really the only bad thing I can say about our evening. We ordered the smaller tasting menu with wine pairings. The sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. Our server was also very helpful in explaining the dishes. The night was beautiful and we had a great view of the acropolis. The food was devine and beautifully presented. It was very rich however which made me wish we hadn't done this the night before our big flight home!

We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. The view is fantastic and it’s the main interest of this restaurant. We spent 450 € for 2 set menus, one bottle of wine at 90€ and 2 glasses of champagne. The food was well presented and nice, but for this price it was very average and lacked of creativity and lacked of flavor nuances. Apart from the view, I found it very overpriced
Franck V — Google review
My first Michelin star experience and Zillers didn't disappoint. The service was excellent, every dish put on the table in synch, every crumb removed quickly yet not interrupting our experience. We opted for the 12 course meal and honestly not every course is for everyone. The steamed monkfish, cod capaccio, and prawn valley were my favorites as well as every dessert! We really regret we didn't have time the next day to stop by their pastry bar. And the view, what can you say. Eating while watching the sunset on the Acropolis is a once in a lifetime experience.

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried in Greece (been several times), love the combination traditional with modern cuisine, casual and chic at the same time, local clients, I can’t describe how insane the food quality was , amazing service by Marios that made us feel welcome from the very first moment, and yet all for a very cheap price. I thought I’d come back to Athens only for Acropolis, but it’ll also be for this amazing restaurant. If you’re a foodie you must come here

This place has very delicious and refined food that is unique. The mushrooms and broccoli are a must and so are the desserts. Uniquely seasoned and beautifully presented plates. The word seems to be spreading in Athens that the owner moved this restaurant to this place because Keramikos might be the the new up-and-coming hip area. And it truely has the feeling as the restaurant was filled to the brim. The staff is really friendly and if you get a table inside it has a calming and relaxing atmosphere while outside it is much busier but nonetheless comfortable. If you visit Keramikos this is a place not to be missed.

One star less for atmosphere because I don't like music to be too loud, so I had a seat outside on a wobbly bench. The waitress went out of her way to translate the whole menu to English and the wines we agreed on were a perfect match for the food. And the food... Just wow. I really want to meet the chef (and marry her maybe?)

Nice cozy place, usually crowded so it would be wise to book a table up front. The food is delicious, big portions, normal priced, not a big variety, but that's what makes all options extremely well prepared! Fried potatoes with fried eggs and sausages is a must for starter, always, always order today's special.. the rest are up to your personal preferences. Draft beer is cold as ice!!
Vasileios G — Google review
I found it to be rather disappointing, and for the portions you receive it is very overpriced. Unfortunately another local restaurant charging a premium for slightly imaginative dishes. Not worth 68€ for two people. Three dishes we had were good (keftedes, rissoto, ceviche. The fourth (vegetarian pasticio) was simply bland and not enjoyable at all - and as a non-vegetarian who has eaten at a lot of vegetarian restaurants, this is saying a lot. Honestly with so many amazing, well priced restaurants, no reason to go back. **adding this in response to the owners reply. For mindblowing vegeterain/vegan food, try Avocado at Syntagama. For similar cuisine to Stoa Fix, with incredible quality and flavour, but well priced try Secret Garden (Μυστικός κήπος) in Chalandri. There are many incredible restaurants offering mindblowing food, at a better price point - simple**

I visited the place on July 6th, 2022, a party of 4. I have longed to eat there for quite some time now so I was really excited when a friend suggested we visited. We ordered: 1) Savoury loukoumades: very tasty and accompanied with a nice sauce. I would prefer them a bit crunchier though 2) Meatballs: this is supposed to be their signature dish and the one I was anticipating the most but it was a bit of a letdown. Not a bad dish but I do not understand what all the hype is about 3) Fried chicken: Fantastic! We asked for seconds 4) Risotto: Another fantastic dish! 5) Fries: As they should be 6) Lentils: This is a bit misleading as the dominant element was rice and not lentils. Tasty but I would prefer it less salty. 7), 8): Both desserts (ekmek and chocolate tart) was very nice. Since we visited the rooftop in Mosaikon hotel, temperature was very nice and we could enjoy our dinner despite a hot July day. Service was attentive and professional. Would visit again and would recommend.

A cult terrace in the down town of Athens, quite near to Monastiraki, hosts this brilliant "project FIX" small gastro-restaurant. After sunset, the view to the illuminated Akropolis is possible from some specific points of this terrace (if it was possible from all points, then the prices ​​would certainly be completely different). We really enjoyed a dinner last Sunday there. I must admit that the team of chefs made sure to satisfy our palates, feeling that everything we tasted was, honestly, value for money. Fresh green "roka" salad with apricot slices, walnuts and vinegrette, Mushrooms' risotto, cooked and flavored with fresh butter, Fluffy grilled minced beef meatballs, accompanying with a masterpiece yogurt cream and tomato dip. Short but very good wine list. We finished our dinner with an excellently executed cool and light dessert: Ekmek with ice cream and that unforgettable mastic cream. Thanks Orestis from the team of chefs he proposed us to taste it. Many thanks to the polite waiters. Recomendation (especially for non Greeks): MUST VISIT. That's why I wrote it in English, although I am Greek.
