Great fresh food - traditional greek starters and snacks (salads, humus, with pita bread, olives, tzatziki, saganaki cheese etc.), mixed plates to accompany cold drinks, breakfast and lunch omlettes (with potatoes, veggies etc.). We were served by 2 different waiters and both were very nice and welcoming. Fair prices.
