18 Best Vegan Restaurants in Athens

“Wow. Our meal at Salaam was one of the best I’ve had in a LONG time. We truly tasted across the menu- three appetizer sampler (hummus, tzatziki, and muhammara), vegetable coconut curry, chicken coconut curry, and chicken thighs mains, topped off by the Italian cake and gluten free chocolate torte.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and unique enough to really exceed other flavor profiles of Mediterranean restaurants. The muhammara is a must. Everyone at the table gasped from the tastebud explosion. The curry was unbelievably unique- all the flavors and textures played out so well.

Every dish we had was 10/10. I don’t rate that lightly. It was good to the point we joked about eating there again tonight.

I did take off some points for service. Our individual server was fine, but some employees were yelling at each other in the dining room right behind our table (older woman to young bus boy) that resulted in slamming glasses/plates/bus tray, making for a loud and awkward experience.“

“Took my father out for breakfast this morning and had the nicest server. She was super friendly and had a great recommendation on what to get. I had the breakfast burger and dad had the biscuit stack. The food was great and very generous portions. When we left, Dad forgot his cell phone on the table. We only knew that because our server came running out of the door as we got to our vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn't remember her name but we are very thankful and will definitely be back.“
