We chose to dine at Eyxaris based on the good reviews but also the proximity to metro station and the down town Athens archeological area We got an array of dishes and small plates ( mezedes ) to share . Salad with cabbage and carrots , platter combination of 5 spreads included ( tzatziki , tirokafteri , taramosalata , skordalia and melitzanosalata ) was delicious ! I highly recommend this to get a taste of all spreads they offer . Continued with a grilled halloumi cheese , great fresh potatoes and chicken kebabs ! All food was delicious and traditional Staff was very helpful and fast . We were offered a shot of lemon ouzo at the end which was a nice touch Was not able to take any photos as anything that came out we attacked it immediately so good . View from the outside photo below shows the vibe and certainly something worth coming back for

✌️ If you're looking for an authentic Greek food experience in Athens, Efcharis should be you choice. 📍This restaurant is near to Monastiraki Square. The location of the restaurant is simply stunning, as you can see the Parthenon from afar as you walk towards it. 🕺The ambiance inside the restaurant is lively, making it perfect for a fun dinner with friends or family. 🍲 The menu offers a variety of traditional Greek dishes, and I had the chance to try both the moussaka and the lamb, both of which were delicious and well-presented. 🤵 Additionally, the staff is friendly and attentive. However, the only minor complaint I had was that it took a little while for them to attend to us, but once they did, the service was excellent. 👎👎👎 The worst thing was that as soon as you arrive, they put a bottle of water and bread on the table. Whether you wanted it or not, and of course, you had to pay for it. In Greece, all establishments serve free tap water, so this was the downside of my experience at this restaurant. 👉 In summary, if you're looking for an authentic Greek food experience in Athens, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The location is perfect, the ambiance is lively, and the food is delicious. 📌 RECOMMENDATION: Be sure to try the moussaka and lamb, you won't regret it!

UNBIASED REVIEW!!! Food: The food in this restaurant was good when in came to warm starters. The mixed dish of seafood was very disappointing and not worthy of 4 or 5 stars! Especially the sardine fish in the dish did not taste good at all. Half of the mixed seafood dish was just sardines. Staff: Friendly and welcoming staff. Environment: 1)There is a small garden on the back side of restaurant and in the first view it looks pretty exotic and nice but the first thing you can notice after sitting on the chair would be the sticky surface of chairs and tables! This is because of the insects on the plants and is something that the owner should get rid of if he wants higher rankings. (I also put the picture here) 2) it was unfortunate to see cockroach crawling on the wall, right next to my table. (Picture attached) Since the place seems to be with roof, probably getting rid of these insects should be easy for the owner. This restaurant was the second one in Athens that I saw the owner ask the costumers to give 5 star or like for free drinks! This is biased and the results from this type of ranking would not be attracting people in long term perspective. Overall, considering the food and the conditions of the place I can only give 3 stars to this place.

Usually in not picky with my food but here they make me rethink how simple food can be messed up up . we order a greek salad and 2 portions of pork gyros and chicken gyros the prok gyros lets say was fine although felt like they just microwave it . the chicken gyros on the other hand was like they boil it in water disappointed how u can mess up such a simple thing greek salad was like they mix the old vegetables with some fresh ones and it sat outside for hours they cucumber was dry and old soggy peppers and some tomatoes aswell we didn’t even eat it thinking this could be leftover from another table . the beat was at the end when we asked for the bill and they give us this piece of paper and i asked can i have the original bill please they told me the machine is broken . any sounded dodgy just dont trust teip advisor and google all the time it is better you take something takeaway than this.

Very busy restaurant in a busy part of the city. Received a bottle of water, some bread (although was a bit overcooked and therefore very dry and crunchy) with olive tapenade, and a small dessert (unsure if I was charged for any of this, but others claim they were). Food choice and quality is generally very good. It is clear that the staff work very quickly to serve a lot of people and I didn't have to spend long waiting. The only (big) problem is the staff came across extremely rude. No facial expressions or smiles whatsoever and I'm not sure if they even said a single word to me. They would put food, the bill etc. on the table, take payment etc. and walk off quickly without saying a word. There is no language barrier at all as I've heard them speak perfect English. Just no manners or even acknowledgement whatsoever.

*BEWARE* I went to this restaurant last night and had initially given it 4 stars. However whilst I was at the restaurant my legs were super itchy (the areas that were touching the chair). I didn’t know why, but I woke up this morning with insane amount of bug bite marks. I’m not sure what bug it is but be cautious! Not saying that it’s the restaurants fault, but maybe they need to do a sanitary check. Initial review. Tried the honey feta, squid and eggplant. Honey feta is quite unique, I enjoyed it but my friend didn’t. Definitely something that can be a bit odd to some people. Squid was quite tender and a big portion. Eggplant was good but nothing special. They also gave us free dessert at the end which was really good. However the bread and water is not free. They give it to you without asking.
