Amazing greek experience

Thanks to Happy Cow I found this very cute family run restaurant. We ordered dolmades, gemista, briam and vegan meatballs (owner's recipe with minced soya).
All food was super tasty and yummy.
After we finished the food, the owner came with vegan ice cream and raki, both on the house.
Staff was very friendly and the place super cozy. Definitely recommended!

Pros: Tasty food, Nice place, Super friendly staff

Lovely service and good traditional food

Already at the welcome the waitress highlighted the main points of the menu, including something for vegetarians and vegans. The briam was great! We were the last customers of the evening and they gave us vegan chocolate cake for dessert on house. Such a lovely and local place in Maleme!

Pros: Great service and warm feeling, More than one vegan option

Little gem off the beaten track!

We were staying just down the road from this place and saw reviews for vegan food on happycow. Visited for dinner and were blown away by what we had - stuffed courgette flowers and beetroot with garlic for starters, followed by the classic stuffed pepper and tomatoes as well as their vegan version of meatballs in tomato sauce. The latter is made there and they are very proud of what they can offer vegans and vegetarians, hoping to add more options to the menu at some stage. Don't be put off by the standard menu, the staff speak very good English and know exactly what a vegan diet is - the guy worked in London for a few years - so they are more than happy to suggest what is vegan and what can be made vegan. Looking forward to going back in a few days!

Pros: Vegan options available , Knowledge of vegan diet, Proud of their homemade vegan food

Fantastic meal, don't miss out!

The owner developed this vegan meatball which is the best we had! From the sauce to the meatball, tastes amazing!
The stuffed vegetable is the best we had too, the rice socked up the vegetable juice 😋
If you are passing, don't miss The Passing

Delicious Greek food

We had a great dinner here.
Staff and Restaurant owner were super friendly and recommended us good dishes which are vegan or made them vegan.
Restaurant owner would love to have more vegan customers so that he can put more vegan versions of traditional Greek dishes on his menu in the future. (Next to those which are already/traditionally without animal products)

As a dessert we got orange cake and raki with lemon (from his grandmother) on the house.

Everything tasted very delicious!

If you are in the area, visit this place! I can really recommend it :)

Pros: Very good service, Traditional Greek dishes , Ingredients grown by this family and regional

Home cooking for vegans/vegeatarians

This restaurant is family owned. Even though the vegetarian/vegan menu is limited we enjoyed it very much. The portions were good size and at the end we got baklava and raking for dessert as well. The owner was really friendly and said next year he is planning to extend the vegan menu to include more of Greek specialties. We keep his word for it! ☺

Best place in Maleme

Could give 5 stars just app doesn't allow it since it's not fully vegan. They have vegan options and ask what they have today, because they cook daily different things which is not on the menu. Amazing delicious food, amazing service. This is traditional Greek cuisine ran by a family, a real Taverna where locals eat, not some touristic place. Really really good!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Prices are average, but portions are really big!
