Of all the local spots, this was by far my favorite! The food was incredibly delicious! We had almost everything on the menu (we were a large group) and everything was beyond our expectations. The host/chef was impressive as she handled all customers and orders with such grace and did not skip a beat! She was the only one working there from what I observed, and still the service was exceptional- she was so kind and did a great job cooking, waiting, hosting, cleaning up, and attending to us. She even whipped up complimentary chocolate crepes/ pancakes that were the best I’ve ever had!!! Simply outstanding!

This place!! Incredible food. Hands down the best kebab we’ve ever had. Don’t even hesitate, you need to come here. Immediately. Loved that it was located central enough but out of the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Looking for authentic Cretan food? Unpretentious atmosphere with small plates to share. Portions are generous and we really could have skipped the tzatziki as we had plenty of food.The Greek salad was beautifully fresh with ample soft feta and yummy Cretan rusk underneath.The pork with wine and mustard had a lovely flavour and the melted cheese on top really made it rich. The minced beef and pork was nice and moist with great flavour and all dishes were served with delicious pita.The grilled pork belly was the star of the show.The gratis crepe with hazelnut sauce was mind blowing and of course we thoroughly enjoyed the raki.Highly recommended!

What a lovely little place. The food was among the best we've had in Heraklion. Small plates filled with deliciousness, except the salad which was quite sizeable. The staff was very welocming and friendly and translated the Greek menu for us.The locale was very small but picturesque and cozy. Only two tables were avaliable outside and those were already taken.We got a free dessert of ice cream and sweet pancake, together with a bottle of raki.Overall lovely experience with most importantly fantastic cuisine expertly cooked.

The owner made us a special spicy feta and pita for starters. Best priced drinks. The kebab was incredible and we were given a delicious desert and Ouzo on the house!Definitely best place in Heraklion!!
