Kalua Athens — Restaurant in Athens

I hosted a birthday party at Kaluha Athens some time ago now and want to share my experience to help others especially people from broad planning events there.

The venue is beautiful (5 stars), and the on-site event staff were excellent (5 stars), which made the celebration itself enjoyable. However, the event management deserves 0 stars for the way the planning and coordination were handled—extremely disappointing and not what I expected from a high-end venue.

From the beginning, the event manager promised to handle everything—décor, cake, and event details—but then stopped responding directly, often leaving his coordinator to reply slowly. When I called to confirm details, he spoke to me in a dismissive and rude tone, even telling me not to “bother him with details.”

Because he did not keep his promises, I ended up stressed and nervous, having to arrange vendors and details by myself at the last minute just to make sure the party happened as planned.

On the day of the event, several promises were broken:

The number of chairs agreed upon was reduced.

My husband’s planned speech was initially denied until he insisted.

The decorative cake I ordered was thrown away without notice.

We were almost overcharged until we provided receipts.

The event manager also openly prioritized a VIP guest over our celebration, making us feel like our event did not matter, despite the high price we paid. In all my years hosting and attending events in Greece, I have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism and broken promises.

Thanks to the wonderful staff at the day and the help of friends and family, the evening turned out well. But the stress caused by the event manager’s rudeness and unreliability should not happen at a...

Worst service I have received anywhere in the World.

Came here with my friend and son (with a prebooked reservation) after spending over $6,000 euro at a local jewelry shop who recommended we come here.

On arrival was looked up and down by the service girl like we were trash. Note- i have a two piece linen skirt set on and sandals. My son a nice shirt, board shorts and sandals My friend in a nice black dress with flip flops (and sandals in her bag). Told with a roll of the eyes we dont meet the dress code to come in.

We said my friend had sandals and can change. Was given a smirk and told, well no its our dress code you don't meet. you can go home and change, whilst she looked us up and down again. The place was EMPTY!

We said well no one told us when we booked and we travelled to get here. She again smirked at us and said, you can sit by the pool in the corner, it’s our policy. After feeling Absolutely embarrassed we said “we have money we are happy to spend” again a smirk and no its our policy. Due to the commotion another lady came over and asked what was going on and we explained. She walked away with the waitstaff who death stared Us to make a call. By then we felt humiliated And made the decision to leave.

Now sitting at Pasaji down the road with cocktails in hand with the most wonderful service staff looking after us.

First off this place was amazing with the view other then that we got sat down took the servers almost 25 mins just to get us started with drinks they were too busy gossiping with 2 girls at a table all 4 of them we then had to wait for girls at the table to overhear us complaining for the girls to tell them to come and take our order food wasn’t that good the burger never said on the menu that it came with a sauce it eas everywhere the meat flavorless the only thing decent was the calamari which came out kinda cold too overall wouldn’t eat there again ever even also at night they don’t even let you sit down for drinks they have a minimum of 50 which I did alone when I went back there that same night the pool area too they tell you they are fully booked but there are always chairs available the only reason they started to take my order right away after 2 days of me going to the pool and spending almost 150 euros alone every day drinking they make you close ur tab and tell you you have to leave...
