mama meze — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!! orders were taken by an extremely confused man, who happened to be the chef! Chef who was taking the orders informed us after we ordered 2 beef steaks as a main and after him looking at his own menu completely confused, mumbling to himself, that he only had 1 beef steak, this was no problem so we ordered something else. The starters surprisingly arrived no more then 2.5 minutes after we ordered them, I had ordered the country sausage and my wife ordered the fried feta cheese, the country sausage was fried on the outside but COMPLETELY RAW on the inside, the Feta cheese was the same, fried on the outside and CHILLED on the inside, both had clearly come from the fridge and thrown into a deep fat fryer for 30 seconds before being served. I asked for the bill as this was a complete shock and we didn't want to risk food poisoning on our holiday, instead of the bill, the confused chef reappeared and asked what was wrong in his broken English (broken English was not a problem) after explaining that the food was NOT COOKED and the pork was COMPLETELY RAW, the chef asked if we wanted it cooked, I again asked for the bill as I assumed all food would be cooked and this would not have to be specially requested! On paying the bill for what we had actually attempted to eat, the chef who's English had now magically disappeared was saying via a young man at the desk that, we had to pay for the lot as he begun to cook the main courses, to avoid causing a scene I paid for the full amount as I did not want this 1 bad experience to take from what had been an amazing holiday, the young man at the desk was completely apologetic and it was obvious that this wasn't his first time having to apologise for this man's "cooking". I would not recommend this place to someone I hated as it would be...

We was looking for vegan food and came across this place. We was just trying to read the menu if there was anything we could eat for dinner and the waiter came to us promising fresh greek vegan food, and wine on the house. We originally wanted to go with Gemista but was told it's for dinner which we was confused about but he offered us Briam instead, so we decided to go with it for something different but what a disappointment! Firstly, he misplaced the order and brought us the wrong beer, which wasn't as much of an issue than the dirty glasses, when he saw us looking at them abit funny he came over and changed them. When it comes to food, we got a plate of greasy roasted veggies, and potatoes that were anything but fresh, infact the whole thing tasted like it was days old and had just been re heated. We could also hear the waiter and owner talking about us as we were eating which didn't feel very nice, nor professional. The nicest part of the meal here was some bread we got as a side dish and the beer. At the end we got given some traditional Greek dessert that looked like donut holes which wasn't actually vegan as we found out later on, it contained honey and eggs. We were suspicious about them to begin with so didn't eat them, not recommended! Expecially for vegan travellers! Big promises but even bigger...

We went there for the lunch after checking rating in google. I am still surprised how it is possible that this restaurant has just awesome comments? It looks like they were bought or we were just unlucky? We ordered tzaziki (definitely there were not the best that I ate). When it comes to the main dishes, one of us orders some meat with tomato sauce (it was ok, nothing special). I ordered some traditional dish that they did not have at the moment so I decided to order mousaka. It smelled bad and tasted awful. Waitress came to me seeing that something is wrong. When I ask if this is fresh, she told me "Yes, it is fresh, it was done yesterday". I think I don´t need to comment anymore. Waitress proposed to exchange the dish for another without paying but I already lost apetite. In the end I went out without eating and I needed to pay for this "amazing" unfresh meal. It was the biggest disappointment about Greek food that in all places was really good except of that one. I think if you have good restaurant you keep good level...
