The owner of the restaurant it’s very rude and he doesn’t know to respect the customers. After I made the order for me and my family I noticed that the food it’s not fresh.

When I told them about this, Manole, the owner started to speak rude and tried to force us to pay for the food we couldn’t even eat.

In the end after a big public arguing and after everyone was watching us, we paid only what we could eat and drink, even though the quality was still low.

This restaurant it’s to be avoided, because you want to relax and this type of people it’s ruining your good mood.

Just to add that in the end when he saw that I will not pay for that plate which was brought cold and without fresh ingredients he continued with his rude behaviour, coursing in Greek and telling that we don’t need to pay anything because he is going to pay for our holiday, for sure I insisted and I paid for what we consumed, even though his behaviour was totally unpolite and...

We went to manolis today after walking past it several times, it was always crowded and the reviews seemed promising?

While the service is nice (minus that we had to wait over 15 mins to even order drinks, and over 20 mins to get the bill after asking for it twice) the food was terrible.

We ordered the chicken souvlaki and the spaghetti a la fromage. I know, not the most traditional choice (spaghetti) but getting my period and eating Greek food straight for days I just wanted some creamy comfort.

The pasta was dry, and came with a sprinkle of cheese. I tried to spice it up with salt and pepper but it didn’t do anything for the dish. The souvlaki chicken was kinda hard? We didn’t dare to finish. The fries were super soggy. We decided to call it a day and the guy didn’t even seem to care that our plates were barely touched.

We got some ouzo which was nice.

Wouldn’t recommend. The pizzas...
