Nice and chill 'taverna', in the center of the night scene. Good for adults, the best hours to be is about 23 to 1 at night, there is live music come on foot or by metro.
There were authentic greek atmosphere Food was delicious and well prepared. Unfortunately in the menu all seafood were frozen so it seems to be the better place for meat lovers. Staff was nice and friendly. In our opinion it is a good idea to book a table especially when is organised live music. We definitely recommend this place!

Cute little restaurant located on a busy street filled with restaurants & bars. We arrived at 8pm just before the crowd came. It was very quiet then the street & restaurant got absolutely packed! The staff are super friendly. There was a live band playing traditional music. Service is quick. Food is delicious. Serving your usual Greek dishes with a few specials throw in. I got the pork knuckle which looked more like a lamb shank, it was massive. Fall off the bone tender meat in a rich tomato sauce and served with home made fries (€9.80). Went really well with their local beer (€5.50). They treated us to a slice of chocolate ‘salami’ cake which was a nice surprise. No salami was used lol Definitely recommend to go. Pretty good prices, especially as I’ve just come from Croatia which was very expensive in comparison.
