Such a lovely place - amazing food and atmosphere, super friendly staff! Be sure to make a reservation as it’s quite a popular place and seating is limited. I had the garlic artichokes as a starter (delicious), the Greek salad, and the smoked pork steak with fries.

Do make yourself six friends (abduct or seduce strangers if absolutely necessary) — this is food meant to be shared. Frankly, I could have ordered the entire menu twice over. This was, without question, among the finest expressions of Greek–Ottoman–Balkan cuisine I have encountered. The ingredients are unpretentious — local, seasonal, and of evident quality — and each dish is treated with such care that it is allowed its own moment of glory. We savoured the utterly moreish beets with yoghurt and walnuts; the finest vine leaf rolls I have had in years (immaculately clean, none of that gloopy Greek sauce that leaves one longing for a Levantine rendition); and fried olives perfumed with the freshest rosemary — where have they been all my life? Especially brilliant alongside the slightly sweet bread. The grilled sausages, seasoned with Mediterranean spices and served with cheese, were divine. My advice: splurge shamelessly and order with abandon — everything delights the palate and soothes the conscience. Five generous plates and a bottle of wine cost less than the house white in most European cities. The only sadness? A steady stream of hopeful patrons, gently but firmly turned away for want of a reservation. Book ahead.

This was a very nice restaurant with a very friendly staff. We don't regret to come here at all. The food were tasty (authentic) and the ambience of restaurant was relaxing. The authenticity of the food is perceived by the fact that more greeks come to eat here than foreigners, so I assume that this restaurant is also loved by the locals. The restaurant doesn't have many seats, so I can assume it can be very busy sometimes. They do have their menu in Greeks (in their big board), but also offers a written menu in English. I think the waitress would also love to explain about the food in case you're unsure what to order. The food come relatively quickly too, so this is a great point. This is certainly a recommend place!

An amazing restsurant experience! If you are looking for authentic delicious Greek food at reasonable prices, this is where you want to dine. The owner, chef and wait staff truly care and take great pride in providing quality food, service and atmosphere in a relaxed and down to earth atmosphere. The chef and the server both took the time and trouble to help me choose the perfect dishes for my tastes. This is not just a job to them; it is their vocation and passion. Everything I ordered was amazing. I was very surprised by the very generous portions considering the high quality of the ingredients and preparation. I will definately eat here again upon my next visit to Thessaloniki.

Amazing!! Very tasty local dishes with cozy atmosphere. Big compliments to the chef Yannis and all recommendations for travelers who like to experience something authentic, and not some another restaurant for tourists. From dishes we specially reccomend pork neck in trouffle oil, buffalo kebab and eggplant. Also, reservation is needed, so call ahead. It is definitely worth it.
