Tirbouson - Kalipsous

It is like a greek mom's cooking, simple and great. Fried feta with honey and sesam is really tasty, so are the vine leaves.

Very good place to eat in Gazi area.. they have variety of greek tradiniotal plates. the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very cosy.. it feels like home.. nice music background and very interesting deco. Also they have nice list of red and white wines that match perfectly with food.. i recommend lahmatzoun!! Yam yam!!

This place is a personal favorite, but I'll try to be objective. It's located in a quiet, secluded spot, a few walking minutes from the crowded Gazi area and Kerameikos metro station. The only thing that breaks the quiet of this mainly residential area is the occasional train (not too frequent to spoil the mood). The restaurant's run by a family, and this is the feeling you get: a homely, cozy modern feel, whether you sit inside (anytime) or outside at the small porch (summer). Service is always helpful and attentive, even when the place is crowded (typically Saturday nights and Sundays, when you should make reservations ahead). Food is based on the Greek cuisine, very well cooked and nicely presented. The menu is kept to an adequate size, and it's best enjoyed when shared between the table. The broccoli and parmesan tart is a must (and a signature dish), and the juicy beef burgers are one of the most popular dishes, and justly so. In the winter, you can have the best lachanodolmades (stuffed cabbage leaves with mince and rice) you'll find outside a Greek home kitchen, and in the summer don't miss the sliced courgette, marinated in basil sauce and served with flakes of parmesan and roasted pine nuts. Honourable mentions to the huevos rancheros (eggs with pita bread, grated cheese, green peppers and a spicy tomato sauce) and the spicy lechmajoun (a twist on a typical middle eastern plate, with Arabian pita bread, spicy beef mince and yogurt one the side). Desserts are usually seasonal, my summer favourite is the velvety cheesecake, and the all-year-standard thick chocolate mousse topped with sweet orange zest. The wine selection is not great, but you'll find some decent Greek wine labels, or you can have the better-than-expected house wine. There's always a good selection of Greek beers, some good tsipouro or raki, and sweet "psimeni" raki to accompany the desserts. Prices are really modest, around 15-20€ per person for a full dinner (not including the wine). Try it.

You can tell the cook here cares about making good Greek inspired food. Would definitely recommend. Food is delicious, and reasonably priced.

Tirbouson is very nice place. I would totally recommend you to go there usually it is very crowded so it's possible that you might not find an empty table. The food is very delicious and cook is very fast so you don't wait for a long time for your food to arrive. I enjoyed even their cheap wine. Appetizers are very interesting if you want to try many things then you can only order appetizers which are good enough to fill your stomach. :)

Friendly staff ,affordable prices cozy place.Don't forget to order feta saganaki with greek honey and brocoli tart!

We had a lovely meal at this very cosy and hospitable place. I would definitely recommend trying the fried feta cheese and the rose petal panna cotta. The prices were fair and the menu was large.

This is a nice spot and not so busy with easy parking . The food is good enough with average prices. The service is really good and friendly. I suggest to the owner to make dishes with less salt.
