Beautiful place, lovely staff and great food. Definitely would recommend!
Excellent place to visit in the heart of Kerames set infront of the village fountain and very picturesque . The food was excellent home made and of great quality. The service was excellent too and the price was very reasonable. Visited again had another great meal fava bean, wild mushrooms, stuffed vine leaves, sausages, kebab souvlaki and chips! There was a lot of food and once again excellent quality portion price and service. Washed down with EZA beer and complimentary raki and melon !! Superb
A warm and welcoming restaurant with exceptionally kind and friendly staff. The food is incredibly delicious—authentic local cuisine made with fresh, genuine ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to feel at home while discovering the original flavors of this beautiful island.
Fantastic location, excellent food (only tried vegetarian), friendly people. I would definitely come back here one day!
Delicious homemade food made from local products. Very nice service and low prices. What more could you want? We will definitely go back there. p.s. Be careful when ordering because the portions are big and at the end you will always get something from the company for free, especially the delicious Raki
Cute. Decent food. Good people - fun location, small village square.
Great location and incredible food! So happy we found this place and will definitely be back before we leave, the food was so good and the atmosphere was really nice.
We order take away from here. Ready relatively quickly, very delicious food, reasonable prices and super friendly staff, gave us free drinks. Highly recommended. It is also located in a beautiful small traditional square!!
