A warm friendly place

Kretas kebab restaurant (sincere apologies to the Karababas restaurant from which I confused initially the name)

, , ,


During my short stay in Piraeus, I have been invited to a well known restaurant near the port of Piraeus in the area of St. Dionisios. This was the Kretas' restaurant. It is a kebab/souvlaki house famous for its generous portions.

The environment was very nice, clean and luminous, with particular nice decoration on the wall.
I decided to order a mixed meat dish containing sheesh kebab and pieces of pork meat (cost 9.50 €).
Additionally to the meat content, in the dish a good portion of chips, tzatziki (mixture of yogurt and cucumber and bit of garlic) and some onion were present.The taste was good and the quantity really enough to satisfy the most hungry person.

This time I was invited by two friends. One of them noticed that the chicken fillet she ordered was not very well cooked. She asked kindly the waitress to have another one more cooked, but the waitress came back telling her that the cook was claiming that this type of meat could not be cooked more. We have been perplexed about this statement. At the end, she has been offered an alternative dish based again on chicken as my friend had initially ordered. This seemed to be alright.

Another similar type of restaurant is present in Piraeus, offering very generous portions. I had tried in the past (Ilias' restaurant found in the Pasalimani area - a small port of yachts) and you can read more details on Kayoko's nice webpage about Ilias' restaurant. Difficult to compare as I visited the last one a year ago. Maybe that one was a bit better in meat quality and slightly cheaper. The food definitely of the same order of excessive quantity.

Dear friend,I am the owner of Karababas restaurant. I found this page as well as your comments and your photos by chance. I was completely surprised. You did not visit Karababas. The one you visted was "Kretas". You will realize it by the photo, too. This restaurant has nothing to do with my place. I don't know what the owners mentioned to you about the real brand name (if of course there was a conversation or something). It is also a frequent "phenomenon" for some customers to believe that all the restaurants in St. Dioniosios are the same (under our brand name) but this iscompletely wrong.So you are kindly requested to correct the brand name and if you really wish to taste the "kebab of karababas" you are welcomed to my place.Thank you for your understanding and assistance.Best regards,Sophia

Dear Karababas owner,

I really apologize about this accidental error. I have already corrected it every occurence of your restaurant name in my article. It was completely accidental. Unfortunately, as I didn't visit this blog for long time, it has not been observed.

I will write properly another small article exposing my error.
Please accept my apologies.

Best Regards
Dimitri
