The food was terrible and tasted like it had been sitting around for a while. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had.

To top it off, we were treated to a complimentary dessert at the end. Definitely recommend.

Located in a nice area, the staff were very attentive, especially when we mentioned we were vegan. The menu had options marked with a little leaf indicating they could be made vegan, but it's best to confirm with the staff. The dolmades were delicious, especially the ones in courgette flower, and we also enjoyed the courgette fritters. The veggie souvlaki had a great flavor but could use a sauce and was not a large portion. The lentil salad was tasty but could have been bigger. The pita was fresh and delicious. We were initially brought two free desserts that were not vegan, but our server quickly corrected the mistake and replaced them with an almond milk pudding, which was refreshing. Overall, the restaurant offers simple and enjoyable vegan options, making it a good choice for those who appreciate classic vegan food.

However some of the vegan dishes seemed to have tsatziki so I asked separately everything to be vegan. It turned out to be our least favourite food in Crete. The vegetarian souvlaki came without any sauce and reminded more of some kind of school food. We got some raki and dessert (first they bought us non-vegan desserts and had to tell them again that it should be vegan) in the end. Ok place to go but there are better restaurants to try in Heraklion.

I had the grilled vegetables with rice. The rice was very aromatic and the vegetables at the spit had a great smoke aroma! The cocktails are also mega
