Yesterday we picked Babis as our dining place for the evening because of the positive reviews and for the hopes of the greek hospitality.

Let's start with a simple wording: we were not disappointed!

Babis introduced himself in a very friendly manner and we changed our names briefly, and after that Babis directed to us on our table. First we started with a little small talk and continued to drink a shot of raki with him (the only place on our visit where the host drinks with customers. And this was heart warming atleast for an Finnish customer). Also big mark of respect from me because Babis told he had had a little partying the night before 😉.

After the rakis, Babis introduced us to the menu which was written on piece of paper (I have no doubts that the menus change regarding the day you are visiting him). Babis went trough the menu one by one, first the appetizers, then the main dishes.

The service was fast and we got our appetizers almost in a blink of an eye. And by the way, they were extremely good on delicious. After the appetizers the same fast service continued with the main courses and drinks. At this time the restaurant started to fill with lots of local people and tourists alike. Babis still had the time to come check us that everything is fine.

The food and atmosphere were perfect for the evening, but the best part was the hospitality of Babis and his family. For the desert we got one of the sweetest watermelon pieces that we've had on our visit to Crete.

Evening started to near it's end and we asked for the check - Babis joined us again for a shot of raki ❤️.

The check was more than affordable and we decided to tip Babis for the best customer service in Crete. When we left Babis shaked our hands and thanked for meeting us (feeling was mutual).

If you are visiting Crete, find time to visit Babis, authentic family restaurant with good food and the best customer service we've ever had. Greek hospitality at it's finest!

On a side note, the family dog was lovable and wanted lot's of petting 😊

I think that we'll propably go again...

Absolutely superb! For the penultimate evening of our Cretan holiday, we opted to heed the good advice of some friendly locals by getting off the beaten track and experiencing some authentic Cretan cuisine at Babis Taverna, in Modi. We were afforded a wonderfully warm welcome by the owner, Babis, and his lovely wife. Babis is a larger than life character and, When he produced his handwritten menu and afforded us an intricate description of each dish, it was abundantly clear that he is is justifiably proud of his restaurant and of their exquisite food. We were a family of four and we had a selection of starters and main courses - I had lamb on the bone, my wife had chicken and my daughters had pork and traditional Cretan pasta respectively. Every dish was absolutely superb, the wine was flowing, as were the friendly interactions and this was easily our favourite restaurant visit of our holiday. Thank you, Babis and team - we look forward to visiting...

Tylko jedna restauracja potrafiła stworzyć wyjątkową atmosferę i usługę, którą na długo zapamiętam..

Jaki jest jej sekret?

Restauracja nazywa się Babis od imienia właściciela. Mieści się w malutkim miasteczku Madis na Krecie. Lokalizacja nie jest najłatwiejsza, bo restauracja nie jest położona nad morzem, ani w miasteczku nadmorskim, ani przy hotelu, ani przy głównej drodze. Raczej ciężko tam trafić przez przypadek.

Jak zatem wygląda proces obsługi klienta u Pana Babisa?

🔶 Osobiste przywitanie. Szeroki, naturalny uśmiech i serdeczne powitanie. Piąteczka z każdym dzieckiem i odprowadzenie do stolika.

🔶 Rozwinięcie relacji. Gospodarz przychodzi do stolika, pyta się czy może z nami usiąść :). Krótko zagaduje: z skąd jesteście, gdzie mieszkacie na Krecie itd. W międzyczasie nalewa Rakiję do małych kieliszków i po polsku wznosi toast „na zdrowie”. Znajomość zostaje przypieczętowana.

🔶 Przedstawienie oferty i edukacja. U Babisa nie ma tradycyjnego menu. Babis ma na kartce spisane wszystkie potrawy na dany dzień (kilkanaście pozycji). Pyta czy jest to dla nas ok :) Nie wiem co robi, jak ktoś odpowiada, że nie ;) Następnie po kolei opisuje każdą z potraw: co to jest i w jaki sposób jest przygotowywana i czym przyprawiana. Chętnie odpowiada na pytania i doradza z uśmiechem.

🔶 Składanie zamówienia. Następuje 2 częściowo. Po opisie wszystkich przystawek Babis zaproponował, abyśmy teraz je wybrali, żeby nie pomieszały nam się z głównymi potrawami. Nie pospieszał nas przy tym. Dał czas i przestrzeń na decyzję. Następnie objaśnił nam główne dania i wtedy po kilku dodatkowych pytaniach wybraliśmy również główne potrawy dla nas i dzieci.

🔶 Przebieg usługi, czyli jak się czułem? W samym podaniu potraw nie było nic nowego, natomiast wrażenie zrobiła na mnie atmosfera, jaką kreował Babis. Zagadywał gości, przybijał piątki z dziećmi, dzieci także witała serdecznie jego córka. Każdy z kierowców przejeżdżających obok restauracji samochodów przystawał na chwilę i witał się, a Babis z uśmiechem odpowiadał. Atmosferą była lekka, przyjazna, serdeczna i naturalna. Nie czułem się obcy w tym miejscu.

🔶 Dobrze dopracowany produkt. Jadłem wiele tradycyjnych greckich potraw przez te kilkanaście dni urlopu, ale jednak te u Babisa były najlepsze. Takie przynajmniej miałem wrażenie, na które zapewne miał wpływ jego storytelling i atmosfera :)

🔶 Dodatkowe atrakcje. Oprócz Babisa wszystkich gości witał jego przyjazny pies, który bardzo chętnie dawał się głaskać dzieciom. Przy stoliku dwóch starszych Greków (lokalsów) stała złota klatka, w której była Papuga 👀 Moi chłopcy ją zobaczyli i za przyzwoleniem i zachętą właściciela ptaka, zaczęli ją karmić fistaszkami, które to papuga „zręcznie” wyłupywała ze skorupki i jadła.

Ps. Imię Babis = Haralampos, albo Haralampis. I tlumaczy się jako ten, który...

Tucked away from the touristy spot, Babis is definitely a hidden gem! We were greeted with a warm welcome and some raki. There is no set menu at this place, the owner, Babis, will come to your table and explain the menu for that day. It was like visiting a distant cousin who happens to be a good cook and very warm and friendly. Food was delicious and the service was great! We’d love to come back and dine here again next time we are in the area.

Hidden gem for sure! Best host - Babis, he drinked with us shot of Raki to introduce himself, he was always askin, if everything is fine. Nice food, nice menu (written by hand). Really beautiful atmosphere. Complimemtary Raki and watermelon at the end. Cleanliness on high level! Dishes shines like new one.
