Reservations are a must! But you won't regret it... We were blessed to be worked in one evening right before they opened (we called to be sure, based off of a review online). Boy, we sure are glad we didn't try to walk in because we watched a total of ten other people get turned away for the night. You must have a reservation in my opinion. There was only a server and a cook and sometimes rude patrons come in and distract the chef with questions or ask if they can be seated.
The poor server was completely overwhelmed and had to be reminded of things multiple times, which is understandable. But because the area is so tight and cramped, it makes for a more frustrating experience as a customer.
That said, the staff were very friendly - especially the chef!
The sharing platter was awesome but I would've liked a different type of vehicle rather than the bland cracker, maybe a small toast.. I understand why though because the dips do stand out on their own.. Especially the tzatziki.. wow it's GREAT!
The owner (I assume) on the logo looks exactly like Judd Apatow and I just think that's a funny little thing to mention.
The moussaka is absolutely incredible and so were the lachanodolmades. Superb and not to be skipped.. everything was packed with flavor from start to finish.
The music was extremely repetitive and we heard the same 4 songs at least 5 times each, which was funny but I felt bad for the staff lol.
Pros: Gluten free + vegan, Great flavors, Huge portions (come hungry!)
Cons: Very slow service, Uncomfortably hot / close upstairs seating, Repetitive music...
Read moreThe place is really cozy and the staff is super nice and they try to make their best to let you have a good experience. But, there is a huge problem there: Food! We were in a big group and all of us had the same thoughts: everything is super bland or super salty. No equilibrium. I shared a few sides with others and had a Moussaka by myself. The spreads were nice (not the best) definitely not worth the price. The moussaka had many many problems: The eggplant were burnt. In the middle the potatoes were mashed, not layered, the Ragù layer was way to thin and almost tasteless. And I paid more than 20€ just for the Moussaka! The bread with the appetizers was clearly right out of the package, usually store bought flat bread is supposed to be warmed up. Moreover, I can't understand why they decided to use coconut yogurt for the tzatziki. It has a super weird consistency and a even worst flavor to me.
The staff is super nice, but the experience is not worth the price (a Main dish, a shared appetizer and a drink almost 40€). I strongly suggest to improve the food quality, cause the staff is very nice and would be nice to have this...
Read moreCame late on a friday without a reservation, we asked for a table for three and got menus with the request to wait a few minutes until a table outside (our wish) would be available. After a little wait we asked if it would be possible to sit inside at the bar and have a drink while we waited. It was super busy and we ended up waiting for quite a while, but we didn't mind, since we were taken care of, with the best hospitality. In the end after switching tables twice (on our behalf) without asking which, led to slight confusion but was accepted with a smile (since we were carrying our starters and a bottle of wine through the restaurant), we had a table outside. The main dishes were delicious, yes not cheap but it's handmade with passion and that hard to come by and priceless. Over all we had a blast and can highly recommend the restaurant and if you have to wait a bit, have a chat with the owner, or order another glass of wine...
