Kazba Bar Kouzina — Restaurant in Municipality of Markopoulo Mesogaias

We decided at the last minute to go to a local taverna that’s packed on the weekend and is open all year round in a quiet suburb of Athens. We arrived at 10:00 on a Monday night and it was surprisingly still busy. The view is of the seaside which is always calming and the music was great. The last thing I expected was jazz with a saxophone talking to everyone.

You go into the local tavernas knowing that English is a foreign tounge so patience is a plus, but somehow you manage to survive. The staff tries hard so you can overlook some of the shortcomings.

We ordered a sea bass cerviche which was served in a pineapple mango sauce. It was fresh but only okay. For the entrees we had a cheddar burger with French fries and a margarita pizza. The pizza was amazingly delicious, the burger on a 1 to 5 scale was a 4, so that’s a definite plus! The owner came over to introduce himself and bought us a bottle of ouzo which was a very generous gesture.

After all said if you’re in Porto Rafti looking for a nice venue, a good meal stop by and give them a chance!

We didn’t get out of the office till almost 9:30 and we knew if we walked in at 10:00, 22:00,) it wouldn’t be a problem getting dinner. For us it’s very local less then 5 minutes from where we stay. We’ve been here before so that alone tells you we’re comfortable in the Kazba. Neither one of us was in the adventures mood only because of it being such a trying day. My partner Melissa had the large burger plater that basically comes with everything. My eyes were bigger then my stomach so I ordered the Ultimate burger which had everything they had in the restaurant on. It was cooked exactly how I asked and it was delicious. The only problem was I couldn’t finish it. The food and service is always great, and when your not “a local,” and see you walk in it always makes them happy to welcome us again. If your a tourist and you happen to be in Porto Rafti find time for...

We chose Porto Rafti for the last night of our stay in Greece due to its beckoning harbor location and the fact that it was not too far (20 minutes) from Athens International Airport. We found Kazba Bar Kouzina via Google Maps/Restaurants and enjoyed the 15 minute seaside walk from our apartment to the restaurant. They welcomed us even though we did not have a reservation. The menu was interesting and inviting. The food was terrific. The service was excellent and gracious. The setting and restaurant are gorgeous and well-maintained. The seaside view was everything we could ask for. It was a perfect last...

"I can't even begin to describe how awful our experience was at this bar. We booked a table for 8, and when we arrived, they crammed us into a table with at least twice as many people. It was a complete disaster - we couldn't fit, and the personnel didn't seem to care at all. They were incredibly rude and asked us to sit tightly like sardines, showing no consideration for our comfort. The whole night was ruined by their incompetence and lack of respect for their customers. I wouldn't wish this terrible experience on my worst enemy. Avoid this place...
