If you wish to get a taste of true Greek delicacies and taverna culture, look no further! Dimi is a charming host who knows the Greek wines inside-out and takes extra measures to give you a pleasant experience. The laid-back atmosphere and the coolest bathroom in Helsinki add the cherry on the top.

We chose to eat here on our first night in Helsinki as the reviews were good and it was a short walk from where we were staying. We reserved a table via WhatsApp and it was ready for us as we arrived. To avoid any possible confusion the restaurant kitchen closes at 8pm not the restaurant itself. The restaurant is small with around 7/8 tables in 2 adjoining rooms. It feels very cosy inside.

The owner was very friendly and spoke excellent English. He took us through the menu and checked for any allergies. The menu is really small and isn’t really set up that well to understand what could be a starter and what would be a main course size. I chose the Greek salad and the Greek sausage (starter size) and my wife had the prawns. We were brought bread to mop up the good juices on all the plates.

The Greek salad was excellent and tasted so fresh. I thought the sausage was very over cooked as it tasted so dry. My wife had 6 prawns on her plate which was good for the cost but there wasn’t anything else on the plate and nothing else on the menu to go with it. The prawns were great but just by themselves didn’t really fill her up.

So we had generally decent food but with a strange menu line up we didn’t leave as satisfied as we had hoped

We had the pleasure of dining here tonight! The owner invited us in warmly and took care of us for the entire evening. We dined on the grilled cheese with a lovely accompaniment of a mixed bean salad, deep fried octopus, skewered prawns with lemon. All fresh and sumptuous! I could not interpret the Greek wines but he delivered beautifully on that too. If you want fresh food with delicious wine and great customer service do yourself a favour and dine here!

The Greek way of eating is the right way of eating. Try everything on the menu and share. Delicious!!! We also had a great wine.

Delicious food and wine, great service and nice atmosphere.

Definitely recommend this place for dinner or for drinks.
