Pretty good souvlaki

We were trying to go to the place next door as their menu looked a little more interesting, but they weren't open according to the hours in Happy Cow, and this place was just about to open.

The owner (?) was very friendly and although he was not yet open, he invited us to have a seat and look at the menu. We both decided on the Rainbow Supreme, and what came out was very tasty. We weren't really sure what souvlaki was, but we quickly caught on. The pita was super soft and all the ingredients tasted fresh. Lots of mushrooms and it was a filling meal.

It looks like there are a lot of vegan souvlaki places in Athens, and I can see why this was one of the better ones. One comment I have is that most of these souvlakis have no protein. Maybe something to consider to differentiate from the others.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly service

Cons: Outside seating only

Amazing street food

We came here for dinner and it was absolutely delicious.

The place seems to be really popular with locals and tourists alike. The staff were exceptionally quick despite the many orders.

The food was splendid and the prices very reasonable. I was very hungry and had two souvlaki wraps, one with potatoes and one without and I was very full afterwards.

One point, however - the chairs outside are stools and are on a slope so can be a bit tricky to find a comfortable spot.

Pros: delicious food, quick service , friendly

Cons: not a lot of seating

Best Vegan Mayo in the World!

Cookoomela serves vegan gyros with a wide range of toppings and mushroom or lentil meat replacements .

The potatoes were my favourite thing. Thick-cut, perfectly seasoned, delicious wedges. Served with an incredible vegan mayo that is homemade and unmatched elsewhere.

I ordered the Rainbow gyros as well. I thought the tzatziki, guacamole, mayo and vegan cheese would make it quite heavy, but it wasn't too much at all. Perfectly ratioed sauces and lots of mushrooms.

Also really good value for money. There is no indoor seating but plenty of seats outside. All beautifully decorated and clean.

It would be nice to have some other meat replacements like seitan, or more of a build-your-own option. Would recommend !

Owner has a really poor attitude and totally non-receptive to criticism. Don't let it put you off from giving honest reviews.

Great food

I hate mushrooms but managed to find an option without them. Would love to see a few more non-mushroom options but the food was great.

Great flavors

Cookoomela's main option is mushroom souvlaki, they have various options with different sauces and veggies for toppings. I'm not a big mushroom fan but I enjoyed trying this. The flavors were great, the prices very reasonable. We also ordered the "cheesy bacon" potatoes - those I thought were just alright, they could have been cooked a bit longer and the potatoes to toppings ratio left a bit to be desired.

Great Mushroom Gyros

Nice outside seating with reasonable prices for a quick bite.

They do not serve classic meat alternatives but rather vegetable options of Greek classics.

The mushroom gyros was fresh and well seasoned with a nice pita. The potatoes were super crispy.

Best vegan Gyros in Athens!!

Literally the best vegan gyros in Greece and I have been here for 2 weeks. Finally a saucy and not a dry one and it is a very lively place! Go try it!

Delish vegan souvlaki and kebabs!

Nice little spot to sit outside, friendly casual atmosphere. We ordered the green souvlaki and kebab both were DELICIOUS!!! The lentil kebab was my fav though. Loads of options, all vegan. Really decent prices too. Would definitely go back !

Good vegan kebab

Had the kebab with yogurt, which was pretty good. The prices are also reasonable there.
What was strange was to see big packages of poultry cat feed, which were for the cats of one of the staff...

Pros: Prices , Quick

Yummy, but no kebab

The pita rolls are super tasty! 😊 we tried the mushroom kebab and the lentil kebab. I liked the lentil one better.
The food is all handmade! I must say eventhough it’s super yummy, one should know that it doesn’t taste like kebab. It’s no meat alternative, it’s more a lentil ball and regular mushrooms.

Pros: Fresh and tasty, Cheap

Cons: The name is irritating

Unfortunately the worse what we ate in Athens

Pita was very salty, I took mushroom soulvaki and nothing impressive.
Place is dirty, outside tables need a proper cleaning, they were sticky & dirty.
At least cheap place.

Pros: Price

Cons: Salty pita, Mushrooms- nothing special, Dirty tables

First of all you insult me ! Every single customer leaves the restaurant I clean the table in a second ! Cheapest mushrooms ? Do you know the Greek market ? Portobello mushrooms are very expensive ! Our potatoes and most of our sauces are organic ! Also pur food is not salty at all !
You may didn't like our food that's OK but you aren't able to insult us by telling lies ! As you can see we have thousands of happy customers ,we don't need you !
The weird thing is that you have written one review for your trip in Greece and is the only negative review you have given ! Very weird and ridiculous...
How come ,allow yourself eating in a dirty restaurant with dirty tables ? Ridiculous...
Unfortunately one of the worst customer we've ever had moron
