About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups

Greeks tend to associate pleasures with homemade food, quality wine and good company. Heirs of the richest gastronomy they always search for a special hangout that combines the intimate atmosphere of home with mama's kitchen aromas. When Mr. George and his wife Maria decided after more than 50 years of experience in cooking and restaurant business to create "Gods' Restaurant" they couldn't have not respected these principles. At the family - owned "Gods' Restaurant" you will feel right at home with rustic and hospitable atmosphere. Mrs. Maria and their two sons along with the executive chef create authentic recipes from all over Greece, like grape leaves, the famous lamb "kleftiko", cheese pie with honey & Greek kebab “Sheftalia”. There are also some unique dishes which you can hardly find elsewhere, such as ravioli stuffed with beef & spices with red pepper & yoghurt-mint sauce, slow-cooked goat with pappardelle pasta, Cretan macaroni "skioufichta" and the caramelized octopus

The restaurant is average (hence a 3 star rating). We ordered traditional Greek salad which was below average … lamb was very good but overall the quality of service, food etc was nothing exceptional

Wonderful surprise near the Parthenon! The staff was great and accommodating of my wife’s food allergies. We shared a seafood platter that included a whole bream, octopus, shrimp and calamari. All delicious. They also brought us Greek yogurt with honey and an aperitif after dinner. Everything was excellent.

It was just like it was advertised. We are from the Pacific Northwest USA. Mama greeted us at our table bringing a home atmosphere most welcoming. The food was an out of world experience of Greek cuisine. The staff knowledgeable ins of Greek wines and the outstanding customer service we received from everyone was a must return.

We just happened upon this restaurant using Open Table. From the time we waked up to the time we were done, the service and food was outstanding. We even got to meet Mama Marie! Top notch and excellent food for the menu prices. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience at God’s restaurant! We sat outside comfortably and had a wonderful evening. We adored the Mediterranean salad - it felt like a mix of a Dakos/Greek and Lettuce salad - so delicious! All the food we ate was great and would definitely go back! The service was great and it felt like we sat for a home cooked meal.

We asked for a table upstairs in a quiet corner and we were not disappointed. What a lovely evening. Great food, friendly service, great atmosphere and for an amazing value. Big portions on your plate as well ! A real taste of Greek food without feeling taken for a fool as a tourist.

Disappointing. Food was cold and bland. Service slow. The pasta was covered in oil and the smallest clams. Skip this one!

Definitely a tourist restaurant. The service was good (although the main courses arrived before we had finished the starter!) and there was a good selection of dishes, especially for children. Portions were generous, but the food quality was very average. Located on a main street near the Acropolis, it was fairly busy and noisy.
