Tavern O Nikiforos — Restaurant in Athens

This is not about the food, so I cannot speak about the food because i didn't even get to try the meal. This is about the unsafety conditions of this restaurant. I was in a tragic accident in this restaurant. Someone left a door open to the basement on the outside of the dining parameters of the taverna. What I thought was another entrance to get into the restaurant, was not but to a a very hazardous stairwell with no light, no railing, and i fell down 12 steps in pitch blackness breaking my neck and bruising my spinal cord. There was no do not enter sign on the door. Despite all this, I'm truly grateful to be walking and alive. I'm here to warn others because I do not want this happening to another person. Its very important for me to let other's know that this is dangerous . The owner refuses to take any responsibility and says only "I can sympathize with your situation" like a third party that had no accountability. Regardless, of his unsafe practice . I don't want anyone else to go through this. There is a black door at the end of the the taverna on the outside patio. Please do not go to this door if you think it's an entrance to get inside this restaurant . Be...

We came here on recommendation and the Google reviews seemed to be ok.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was more of a disappointment.

We ordered fried courgette balls as a starter, with an aubergine yoghurt dip and a Greek pasta dish. For the main course, we had lamb chops and meatballs, Mum's style.

The courgette balls and the dip were not seasoned, so we had to add a lot of salt. The meatballs were also rather dry on the inside, so the dip was a good choice.

The pasta came with ham, although we asked beforehand if the dish contained ham, which was denied. The colleague ate it anyway and was also disappointed as the dish was extremely salty.

Now for the meat, poor quality was used. The lamb chops had mostly fat on them and hardly any meat. The meatballs had a lot of fat and gristle.

The bread that was brought to our meal was dry, as if it had been from yesterday.

Unfortunately, for us it was a complete flop.

Ambience 3 stars Service 2...

After a friend’s recommendation, I was very eager to try out this place. I like their hidden location and concept as each food is served with bred as starter and watermelon to finish. I ordered a greek salad and pork tenderloin,which I wanted to mix together. The salad arrived after 5 minutes while I waited for the tenderloin for another 30-40 minutes. This was disappointing, as I would have appreciated to be informed about that massive waiting time ( restaurant was not too busy). The service showed up once in a while, so it was hard to get a hold of one. Once I had both items, it was good but not excellent. I guess I expected more of a tenderloin. Concept is great, but it leaked the pace...
