Rakoumel — Restaurant in Municipality of Heraklion

We chose this because of the ratings on Google Maps. We got ourselves seated just before the whole place filled (approx around 2130) we think a reservation makes sense; it's very popular among the locals (which is a good sign) We asked the very friendly staff for recommendations and ordered 5 dishes including a Greek Salad. The meals were served really quickly and We loved every one of them. The staff, the atmosphere and the food; we loved it all and the combination made it a 5 star review for us. When we got the bill, we were pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend and absolutely worthy of the high google...

This is a great place to eat and what I call "hidden gems". The food is delicious. You get enough variety so you wont get overwhelmed. We ordered the risotto chicken... VERY nice. 8.5/10 (they didnt give me cheese, but I also didnt ask for it). We also got the beef that was AMAZING! Very well cooked 8.5/10. Tzatziki is mild which I like it this way, because I dodn't want to "kill" people with my breath )) 9/10 Zuccini balls... OUT OF THIS WORLD. you must get it. I got a picture of it. 9.5/10 Salad fresh and tasty 7.5/10 All in all, I would recommend this place. Staff also...

We have visited this restaurant probably 5 times in 10 days in order to try everything on the menu.

This is simply the best Greek restaurant on Crete. The services is welcoming, quick yet no pushy. The food gets out quickly but is perfectly executed. All of this happening at a price that shames the other restaurants in the area.

I highly recommend going there: you...
