The service is relaxed and welcoming. The space is a bit tight, but still not too crowded. While the main food was good but not that impressive size/flavour-wise (it wasn't bad, just really small for the price and nothing outstanding) the desserts were amazing and we will remember the cheesecake for a long time. As we were leaving, someone from the staff came to hurry us up which was a strange move as we just paid and were literally picking our bags to go. Be aware that...

We’ve been here several times, and every visit has been amazing, we’ve always had a great time and enjoyed fantastic food! We definitely recommend this place and will keep coming back!

I was pleasantly delighted with how Mamakas is confident in the complex of flavours they presented in their dishes. The Lavráki Tartare had a refreshing and the addition of pistachio was unexpected layer of flavour and texture. While the Kokinisto was a mix of melt in your mouth beef, crunchy Sourdough Crumbs and smooth sauce of the orzo that made the dish harmonious. You have to try the baklava cheesecake if you are there and I think the addition of tangy whipped yogurt is genius....
