Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I wish I lived in Athens just so I could eat here every night! The pita was divine and of course, the SOUVLAKI was amazing. Now that I am writing about it, I am craving it even more!

Was struggling to locate another seafood restaurant so stopped for a bit at Kalamaki. The menu is mostly meat, lamb and chicken. I ordered rice, eggplant, fava dip and potato salad. The potato salad was very good, the fava dip was OK but the rice...and eggplant were tasteless. The place lacks much character - apparently is more of a take-away joint. Our young waiter was very pleasant and the carafe of wine we had was good. But an underwhelming meal in a neighbourhood full of good restaurants.More

A favourite food spot in Kolonaki, Athens. With few tables and super friendly staff, Kalamaki Kolonaki is a great spot for lunch or dinner. The food is always ace and the beers served in frozen glasses. Suitable for vegetarians and meat lovers.

After sunset on Lycabettus Hill, there is a run on restaurants a short walk from the funicular. We’d planned on going to Dexameni nearby but the wait appeared to be an hour or more given the line and how most people at the tables were...just getting their first courses… and we’d landed from the US that morning, so a very late night was not on the agenda. Approaching “hanger” status we moved on to Kalamaki Kolonaki and were happy with the fast service. Greek salad and tzatziki were both very good; fava bean dip was bland in comparison (we later had much better on Santorini); of the mixed grill souvlaki, the beef was very good, pork was good, chicken was mediocre (some pieces OK, others quite gristly). For the inexpensive price point and good service, we were satisfied.More

The service was simply non existent . We had to eat our salad without a fork! The excuse was that they didn’t have clean forks!!!! The manager has just 2 waiters for several tables which is impossible for them to provide at least a standard...level of service. And this is a restaurant with higher prices than Normal kebab houses To end the night, We were given a wrong receipt with +30€ on top of what we ordered for which we had to argue and had to ask the waiter to check on the dishes on our table to avoid overpayment !! The managers reaction: we are sorry but we are a busy place …..More

Amazing food especially in the covid era that we have to do pickup or get delivery. Everyone was very nice and fast enough. I had the chicken gyro and pork gyro and souvlaki. I ate there two days in a row. There was minimal fat...and very fresh ingredients. The fries were really good too. Great prices.More

Based in the city centre, after a shopping experience in the Kolonaki's stores, you must rest and eat traditional greek souvlaki in this restaurant. Very clean! The personnel is very friendly!

An excellent Greek restaurant for those who are looking for traditional Greek food. We do not give quickly a five star rating but because the food is excellent and service was nice it is well deserved. This is not a Michelin star restaurant but it...deserves the rating due to the price quality. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the food.More

This is another spot we've been to many times, and are finally writing a review for. As others have noted accessibility is quite difficult, and seating in general is limited; however, the food is very good. They've got great souvlaki of multiple types, their Greek...salad is quite good, and the baked feta is a must from the appetizer options. If you are looking for a tasty meal with some great prices to boot, you need to make a stop at Kalamaki Kolonaki.More
