To steki tou Ilia

Best meats in Athens. Freshly made and traditionally cooked with top dish a kilo of lamp chops. Cold beer variety of dishes. Delicious melt in your mouth. Top service , very clean delicious food, Cold beer nice atmosphere definitely recommended.

we got there not by a recommendation but while we were looking for close by places. while getting closer, we heard laughter and kids running, we didn’t know it was the place, to the point where if it wasn’t we were going in. its full of greens, you don’t see what’s happening inside but from the outside you know you wanna be part of what’s happening inside. we got in, full of people on thursday nights 23:00 (mostly locals) - everyone is happy, amazing service, fantastic food. go there! it is just perfect.

Authentic Greek cravings? Look no further! This gem offers Greek cuisine at its best across two locations, no reservations needed. Expect impeccable food, exceptional service, and genuinely friendly staff. Our server, Adisios, was a highlight, enhancing our visit with his warm and welcoming attitude. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere adds perfectly to the experience, and the reasonable prices seal the deal. Highly, highly recommended!

Was really good although the chops were dry and badly Boucher still . Don't get me wrong they were tasty but i wouldn't order them again. The veal was much Juicer . We also enjoyed the olives and the Greek salad.

A very good traditional restaurant in the Thiseio area of Athens. You have 2 restaurants with the same name and ownership and when one is closed go to the other 200 m further. It’s located next to the metro line to Piraeus in a pedestrian friendly area. They serve delicious lamb chops. You can buy them by the kilo and I think it’s their most popular dish. Also the salads and side dishes that I have eaten were very good. Very friendly and professional staff. I also loved the atmosphere and ambience in the restaurant. The interior is from the good old times. Wooden wine barrels and a lot of old pictures on the walls. I enjoyed my times in ‘To Steki you Ilia’ and I’m going back next time I’m in Athens.

The first time I came was on Christmas Eve, the 25th, and it was just closing time, so I had to walk 4 kilometers to this restaurant the next day. I have to say that the lamb chops here are the best I have eaten in Athens this time: the lamb tendons are roasted fresh, crispy and tender, the lamb fat retains a rich aroma, and a small amount of seasoning is sprinkled on the meat without overpowering it. The amount of meat is just right, and I don’t need too much supplementary food. With a plate of boiled wild vegetables (Horta), it is enough to satisfy my hunger. The disadvantage of this restaurant is the roast pork chops, which are a bit dry and hard. If they can be beaten and roasted over a high fire before roasting to retain the gravy, it should also be a wonderful dish. The affordable price is also a reason for me to come back again.

Very cool place. Shade from trees and creates a relaxed outdoor environment. Lamb chops were excellent as was the streaky pork - all flame grilled with a fantastic smokey flavour. Portions are very generous.

Delicious grilled meat on charcoal. We had lamb, pork, dips and salads which are amazing.
