This is my third year in Athens and every time I have to come back to this beautiful place. The atmosphere is amazing, the owner is the nicest and the food is superb!! Favourite are zucchini balls, octopus salad and aubergine salad, simply delicious. But best of all is their cold rakomelo, a typical Greek liquor.
This will always be my favourite place in Athens.
Very recommended!!

Visited the place three nights in a row. One of the few non touristic places in psirri as it caters mainly to Greeks. Small plates cooked with care and certainly a lot of taste. Tried several dishes with our favourites incliding the tigania, ragga salad, potato salad, marinated octopuss and marinated anchovies. Waiters very nice and helpful even offering a few shots at the end of our dinner.
Sitting is better outside where you can get a real grasp of the Greek way to eating out: small tables, facing the street, full with food and with nice company around.

Definitively worth spending some time relaxing and enjoying the food in this place.

We visited on a Friday night and were met by a very friendly gentleman who helped us with picking 3-4 tapas to share and a bottle of wine. We loved the peppers and some zucchini balls, while the meatballs were just ok comparatively. The house wine was standard and we finished with ouzo that put hair on our chests. We were surrounded by locals the whole time, and the prices were very very reasonable. We recommend!

We ordered a few dishes, slow cooked pork,sausage, meat balls with mint,potato salad and hand made pies with feta.
Had to take away , for two it was way much , our fault , we got overzealous!
The waiter was very nice, gave us time. Location is nice on street. Local feel. We stopped here after seeing locals eating , figured it was best.
Price was €30 for 5 tapas,a beer and bread , really reasonable.
The food was nice but not wow. It was very decent and a good indication of good Greek food.
