What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kolonaki Greek Kouzina is praised for its delicious Greek cuisine, particularly its meze and vegetarian options, and its beautiful, inviting atmosphere. While many reviewers highlight the excellent service and overall dining experience, some have noted issues with bill accuracy and payment processing, alongside a mention of food being average by one reviewer.
"We recently had the pleasure of dining at Kolonaki, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and truly reflected their commitment to outstanding hospitality.
We indulged in their best Greek starters, flavourful mains, and finished with an absolutely divine pavlova dessert. Kolonaki completely exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return. A huge thank you to the team for their incredible hospitality!
Would highly recommend!"

We came with no reservation and had to put our phone number on the list for them to give us a call back. to be honest we didn’t expect them to call us back but fortunately they did. so thank you for that!!
the food was very delicious, the plates were a bit small but i like to try different courses anyway so if you want to try a few things it is perfect and also for sharing.
the owner came and asked us if everything was okay, that was very sweet

my friend and i split the bill. i paid my half and forgot to put a tip in. my friend also didn’t realize that i didn’t give a tip and wanted to pay her bill accordingly. it was a bit late and we were tired and in a food coma honestly. so before my friend could pay the waiter asked us in a unsettling manner if we are not giving him a tip. out of disbelief we asked him to repeat himself and he said the same thing with a unfriendly face. wether we are givjng you a tip or not should could be either asked in a kind manner or not at all. it made us really uncomfortable. i just hope that the waiter learns out of it and doesn’t ask for tips in the future.
overall i will definitely come again and i would recommend to book in advance"

"Arrive at 3pm for my reservation from the reception the staff was very friendly and professional. Once seated had a pleasure of being served by Nkosi the gentleman was absolutely lovely and his service was out of this world. During our dining there he always made it a pint that he checks in all the time👊🏽. The atmosphere is to die for can’t wait to visit you guys in Summer 🫡"
