We found this place after being turned away from Mamacas because they did not have any available tables. Since it was already 10:30 p.m., we decided to walk up the street and simply look for an interesting place to eat.

We stumbled into this restaurant and we were glad we did. As the name implies, this is not a place for vegetarians. Meat, meat and more meat is focus of the menu. The meats that we ordered were simply prepared, grilled over an open fire and wonderfully seasoned. This is not a filet mignon restaurant. They use less expensive cuts but the texture and taste were great. Instead of lamb rib chop, they served lamb leg chop. While it is a tougher cut, the flavor is far superior. By the end of the meal, we all agreed that the menu was simple, basic and delicious, and that we had make a great decision in eating at this location. If you go, don't forget the salads, especially the one that has a lot of chopped mint. I can't remember the name of the salad, however, I really enjoyed it.

The dishes were fairly priced. The atmosphere was simple, fitting into the taverna category. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has an English translation and our waiter spoke English. The crowd, however, was strictly young adult Greeks. I did not hear any other language spoken in the restaurant other than Greek. The restaurant is located in the Gazi area which is, to my understanding, frequented more by Greeks than tourists.

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

1. It is very dangerous to use a fireplace (and its chimney) if it's not routinely cleaned.

2. Freshly cut and damp wood produce more smoke than dry wood.

3. A chimney windbreak hat is necessary for better ignition and in order to avoid over-smoking.

4. Chimneys should be cleaned every 2 tons of wood burned.

5. Cleaning your chimney reduces the harmful substances contained in smoke and released into the atmosphere.

6. A proper chimney cleaning reduces the risk of fire and any other subsequent damage to your home.
