Got recommended by the woman at the hotel, so headed out here. Food was very good, it's a local place for local people so very authentic. Make sure you go there hungry! The food keeps on coming out!Overall though, good friendly service, good food and good beer. What more do you want?!

We came as a big group — a table of eight — without a booking, completely by accident, and were so impressed with how welcoming and accommodating the staff were. The service was amazing from start to finish! We even received a complimentary dessert, which was such a lovely surprise. We really appreciate the hospitality and kindness this place showed us. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Food was amazing, we had meze. There is a lot to eat, prepare yourself 😁There is like 15 different stuff on the table.There was not many people at the time, even though I heard it gets really crowded. I made a reservation since I was coming all the way from different city.Service was ok, but waiters are having lots of trouble speaking English, so communication was limited. Wine is also great!

Tables were too small for the amount of food they served...the amount of food and price is a plus...offers value... But service wise ...waiters were late to pick up empty plates or even remove starters that were crowding the table. As for taste . Some food was better than others. So mixed review.

Went out with friends who introduced us to this "hidden" treasure of a tavern located in a quiet area. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere and will be definitely going again. Wholeheartedly recommend for others to try and you won't be disappointed.....!
