The menu is a rich tapestry of traditional recipes passed down through generations. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by the scent of oregano, lemon, and chargrilled meats. Their Moussaka is a standout-layers of perfectly seasoned minced meat, silky béchamel, and tender aubergines baked to golden perfection.

A real highlight is the sharing meze platters, ideal for sampling a bit of everything-from warm pita and homemade tzatziki to grilled halloumi and dolmades. Vegetarians aren’t left behind either, with options like Gigantes Plaki (slow-cooked butter beans in tomato sauce) offering depth and heartiness. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality-to-value ratio is excellent.
