Avli

Very very pretty place, but not without problems. The wait is at least 30 minutes, which is okay, the food is nice, nothing crazy. We got a mixed plate for 2 people, I loved tzatziki and the meatballs, the rest was okay. The service is pretty bad though, we had to wait a while to place our order and even longer to pay. Nobody came to check if the food was good or if we wanted anything else.

Absolutely loved this taverna! The fried peppers and Greek salad were delicious – simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Great service, warm atmosphere, and authentic food that hits the spot. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a real taste of Greece. Will definitely come back – thank you!

It is a must in Athens. They offer excellent food with a typical tavern style. It is a kind of difficult to find, but it is nice and worth. I had Greek salad, meatballs, fried eggs and mix of sausages, all of them recommended. Not for large groups (+6). And one of the coldest beers in area!!! This is important for a classics tavern.

Had a great dinner at Avli. This a local, no frills authentic spot for some tasty dishes. It’s busy, expect a short wait and not the best service because they are hustling to serve all the tables. The fried pork is a must, and the soutzoukakia is tasty. Last pic is a small size sampler platter, I would skip this next time and just get regular sized dishes of what you want.

Great ambiance, with the greek music just at the back, a small and cosy restaurant that’s very local. Not much place to sit it’s just an alley with 30 places give or take, so be sure not to come during peak lunch/ dinner time. I came at about 18.30 and there’s not much waiting time to get a table. The food was great but nothing exceptional. Loved the fried zucchini and the chicken that’s packed with flavour. The small plates perfect for sharing, note that the portions are not big, but the price is very reasonable. Overall loved the whole experience but would not wait 30 minutes in line for this.

I really enjoyed my experience at Avli. The restaurant is literally a hole in the wall restaurant, with the inside of the restaurant in the inside of a small courtyard. The wait to get inside was not too long. We tried the fried peppers. These were very good, inside a vinegar-like sauce that balanced the flavor perfectly. The pepper had great flavor. The vine leafs stuffed with rice were also delicious with a creamy sauce that elevated the dish 👌. We then had the Soutzoukakia with potatoes (greek meatballs) that were also delicious, full of spices that had a little middle-eastern twist in flavor. I loved all three dishes ans highly recommend them all. The only thing I would mention is that the portion sizes are a little small.

This place was fun to find. Have to first squeeze through a narrow alleyway to find the restaurant. We were lucky that when we arrived, we didn’t have to wait for a table. However, shortly after, it started getting very busy. Food was delicious - only minus one star because our variety platter that we ordered was forgotten. We had finished all our other dishes and I had to awkwardly remind the waiter to see if our platter was still coming for it to arrive. Overall, food was delicious, good atmosphere. Cute cats roaming through the restaurant. I really enjoyed our dinner here!

We came here for the second time a few days ago, as we first came here a year ago during our travels. As we remember, food is excellent. The best dish is the fried chicken - it’s not “fried” like a KFC, it’s cooked in a delicious spice-filled sauce that you just have to try. I also enjoyed the zucchini balls. The location is really cool in my opinion - easy to miss if you walk past, which gives it a cosy feel inside. It’s always busy, so get there just before they open to choose the table you want! People pile in quickly. There’s good reason - it’s a great place.
