Pharaoh

Since it first opened, I have been visiting Pharaoh repeatedly. The food and the vibe are exceptional. I love the contrast of the place’s ambience with the homey Greek traditional food they serve. I am vegan, and there are plenty of options available. I enjoy how they change the menu to use fresh seasonal ingredients. My favourites, when in season: mushroom or chestnut stew with onions, tomato salad, beans with orange and celery, okra stew, fava bean… and if I continue I will just catalogue the whole menu. + Great selection of natural wines and a Sommelier who understands you and makes perfect suggestions + A different guest DJ playing vinyl records every night + Service has greatly improved since they first opened. Everyone is friendly and eager to attend to your needs. - sometimes, it still takes some effort on your part to get the staff's attention - depending on the guest DJ, the choice of music might not be what you were hoping to listen to, but it always blends well with the restaurant’s vibe.

A minimal space with vibes of the past as the DJ plays music with vinyl records. I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness and excellent service of the staff. We tried the grilled greens with manouri for starters; it was very tasty but unreasonably expensive at €13. We continued with the cabbage dumplings, a dish that I rate 10/10. The chickpea lemonade was nothing special, with too much oil that made it heavy in taste. The giants reminded us of a classic Mamadis dish. The Xynochotro with mushrooms had an amazing taste and is worth trying. For the main course, we chose the lythrin savouro, which was very tasty. For dessert, we had the galaktoboureko, which was a very generous piece with rich cream. Overall, the experience was good, but I won’t be visiting again as it is too expensive for what it offers.

Amazing experience! Wonderful food and wine. Impeccable service so attentive and caring!! Next time we are in Athens this will be the first place to visit again!

One of the best dinner experiences in Athens! Food is extremely delicious! Chefs are talented! Staff is very friendly. And Katherine, your hospitality and sincerity is unbelievable. They know what they do here 🤗

Fantastic! If you are visiting Athens this restaurant is a must I think because the dishes that they are serving is very traditional but they are serving them in this kind of a vinyl music concept modern restaurant. I tried their lamb which is amazing, definitely a reason to visit this restaurant. They have a very traditional and extremely delicious meatball dish (called Yuvarlakia), definitely worth a try. Langoustine dish was also very delicious. They have a dish called stifado from Crete, cooked, caramalized chestnuts with onions, which is so delicious, tasty with a soul:) Service quality is very high. Staff is very welcoming but the kitchen team is extremely special. I definitely recommend to kitchen counter because watching the chefs preparing the dishes and chatting with them is unique and priceless. They are a very special team with great vibes.

Really great place. Cool atmosphere. Service was impeccable and everyone we spoke to was really cool and nice. My partner is vegan and although this isn’t somewhere I would recommend for vegans (due to the menu) they went out of their way to alter some of this dishes so that he could have them which I really appreciate. Wine list is fantastic and sommeliers really know their stuff. Really cool music with the DJ and all in all great atmosphere. Pricey but you have to accept the mark up for the vibes.

"Really??" if i had to use a title. I had read the bad reviews, however we decided to give it a go. Wannabe super exensive immitation of Cretan cuisine that is mostly tasteless, except the cooked "chorta" which owe part of their taste to the olive oil. The service was friendly, however slightly fake. Poor drinks and definitely NOT value for money. Additionally, the lady that called me to confirm my reservation was rude. No go.

Nice modern, energetic, delicious restaurant in a sketchy neighbourhood. Local cuisine, friendly service, and good vibes due to a DJ playing behind the bar which is also the best seats to enjoy the evening. Highly recommend!
