Hasika

Had a lovely first meal in Crete. Good variety and value for money. The dishes were all absolutely delicious! And generous portions. Such a stylish restaurant and service was really good. Meal were finishes with a complementary small desert. We had the Marinated Rooster , Calamari Giros, pastrami sandwich (with real hand cooked crisps to perfection) and lamb slow cooked.

Lovely restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. Hasika offers traditional greek cuisine with a modern twist. Thus the prices are also a bit higher but if you appreciate high quality food and service Hasika is a must-visit. The flavours are just out of this world, have enjoyed both of the times I visited Hasika (I had to come back here after 3 years because of the lentil salad and the cheese pies😅) I recommend especially the eggplant and rooster as main dishes and the lovely salads as starters.

There are meals that satisfy, meals that impress, and then—rarely—meals that change something in you. This is not just a restaurant—it is a space that feels sacred to its purpose. At the center of this reverence is the chef, Hasika, whose name graces the door and whose soul inhabits every plate. Each dish felt like a story, whispered across generations and infused with emotion. The ingredients weren’t just fresh or locally sourced—they felt chosen, almost fated. There was no excess, no pretension—only purity and intention. Every element had a reason to be on the plate, and every bite felt like a revelation. Hasika doesn’t cook in front of you. She shares something with you. This was not just a dinner. It was an offering—one I hadn’t known to ask for, but one I accepted with every sense awake. To dine here is to be inspired, not only by flavor but by the courage it takes to create so personally, so unguardedly. If you find yourself in Rethymno, do not miss this. Come hungry, but come open. You will be fed in ways you didn’t expect

Unfortunately, our experience was not as good as we had hoped. The bone marrow portion was very small, and it was covered in so much lemon that it was hard to taste the actual flavor. Both of our main courses were overwhelmingly cheesy — the strong cheese taste completely overpowered everything else. We were hoping for more balanced dishes, so this was a bit of a letdown.

Seriously the best seared tuna we've ever eaten. Simply seasoned & seared on the grill to perfection. Stunning! Couldn't fault the meal or friendly & super-helpful service. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you!

Had an amazing dinner, food, service and atmosphere. Classics with a unique, creative and amazing interpretation. Super professional service, yet kind and welcoming. A must when visiting Rethymno and north Crete

Very disappointed by this place. We visited with our child and they didn't treat him like a normal customer. The food was okay (nothing special) but very overpriced. The service was extremely bad for the Greek standard/ not accommodating and not helpful. Highly recommend trying out proper local places instead

The MEAL of our holiday. It was an experience. Interesting cocktails, refined and playful dishes, able to see into kitchen, which was fascinating. A must visit place if you want to have a culinary experience.
