Grieks Restaurant Athene

Good things first. The staff is really nice, they are attentive and kind. Th location is really nice, along the Amstel, enough hustle and bustle to make sitting here fun and entertaining. But the food. The tzatziki with bread is the only thing we had that I can recommend. The mixed grill and the mixed vegetables were actually pretty bad. The mixed grill had some dry pieces of chicken and an incredibly dry meatball. The taste wasn’t all that bad, but the entire dish was so dry. The salad was poor and the fries were also poor. The mixed vegetables dish was just wrong. A bowl of watery tomato something with vegetables that have been cooked to mush. Even the end parts of the leek and onions were in the mix. The rice was a tiny bowl of rice, again dry, and the salad was poor. I think they tried to make the vegetables a Greek dish by just adding 3 pieces of feta in it. Overall really really really poor food. Bad in taste, visually bad, price quality way off. Oh and the aperol spritz was also bad. Very watery, no sparkle, lots of ice. The staff was friendly, but that’s all.

Ate here twice, food is delicious, portions big with proper homemade Greek taste. Servers would go extra mile for you if you know what you want and maybe it's not on the menu 😉. We usually order multiple dishes cuz choosing only one is impossible.

The food was really good. I ordered something based on the waiter’s recommendation and I thought it tasted amazing. The service was also very friendly and the waiter was very nice :) it is a bit pricey however overall it was a nice experience :)

IF the owner had told us when we booked that he had a birthday party in that night of around 30 people - Yea, we might not have come.
As it is I will never go back again because apart from him not having the decency to inform us that we would be unable to hear each other for most of the evening, let alone have a conversation. When it was actually quiet enough to talk - they were having )long, interminable, boring birthday speeches. During one of which we were 'shushed'!
My dinner companions stopped me from saying anything.
The food is not cheap and it's varied - One of the vegetarian dishes was lots of fried stuff and therefore delicious - but it was more or less the same as the (vegetarian mixed mezes) starter we had ordered. The other was a fairly tasteless and boring sort of stew - give it a miss.
There were only two of them working which resulted in pretty shoddy service and the food was not presented well. I had a mixed grill, couldn't work out what most of it was. They were really good about swapping the chicken breast, for a meatball as it turned out, which was the only identifiable meat on the plate.
The head waiter is gropey, touchy, feely.
Was also not allowed to say anything about that!

Good Greek food and the service is excellent. We arrived a little bit late and the owner re-opened the kitchen for us (not so common in Amsterdam). Food is great, he made us some dishes to be shared combining small portions of his menu so we had the opportunity to taste a little bit of everything. He was really friendly and the atmosphere was great. I will totally come back soon. Felt at home. Thanks Emilios

Very tasty mix starter with hot and cold mezes. I liked my gyros, also see bass was really tasty. İf the weather allows, sit on outside and enjoy the sunset!

Be ready to taste delicious food like if you were in Greece!!!

It's a family business, that serves original Greek food. Everything is absolutely delicious!!! The place can get busy on the weekends, which makes the service a little slow, the kitchen seems to be small and probably that is the reason. However the service is great and everyone is super friendly, so the wait is definitely worth it.
