True to their name - contemporary Greek kitchen. Balanced and delicious tastes, good service and worth every bit of the meal.
2 of us had lunch with 4 shared dishes and house wine (cheapest on their list) and it was like a party.
Definitely recommend and come back again.

Modern Greek-inspired cuisine with a creative twist.
Small menu with attention to details.

The cozy, romantic ambiance and warm yellow hue lighting made for an inviting atmosphere.
The house-baked sourdough is a perfect match with balsamic and olive oil, while the brioche shines alongside the sweet-salty fig butter. The lamb fricassee was exceptionally tender, flavorful, and juicy.
Peculiar desserts.

Fair wine selection.

Pleasant music and an attentive staff complement the experience.

The food was excellent! The Greek cuisine was interpreted in a modern and creative way, which truly impressed us. The entire team was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive – you feel completely taken care of. We’ve been here twice already and are looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Amsterdam.

PS: Just one small thing – the meat could have been warmer. It was perfectly seared and cooked medium rare as requested, but it was cold. We will definitely come back regardless!

Jamas,

Outstanding food. Friendly staff. Very loud: impossible to have a conversation.

The food was creative and tasty from the intro bread and meze course (recommended while you wait to order), through the appetizers to the main courses. This is definitely high end Greek cooking.  Family style sharing is encouraged.  Rather good wine by the glass, although the descriptions were a little rudimentary.

Friendly staff - they were kinda enough to charge my phone, too.

€235 for three, plus tip (requested at payment time).

The noise level is very high. That aside, I'd happily go back.

Great culinary experience. Started off with a delicious beef carpaccio, followed by a less overwhelming three texture lamb. The desert, a free version of baklava, was outstanding.

The service is attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is pleasant (perhaps the music was a bit too loud).

Price wise, I find it too steep. Despite the quality of the dishes, paying 100 euros felt a bit high. Nevertheless, if one knows in advance, I am quite sure they won't regret it.
