Cafe AINA in Stirling

The best experience I've ever had. Reminded me of home

Fantastic service every time we go. They know us by name now. We are proper regulars I suppose and that isn’t going to change. Awesome vegan options, especially desert which is rare and the main reason we like it!

Excellent and delicious Greek food. Many options from meat to vegetarian and vegan. Friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly

La comida es deliciosa, con grandes porciones por precios razonables. Personal muy atento y servicial. Muchas opciones para elegir, desde carne hasta vegetariana y vegana.

Best food in Stirling by far!!!

An incredible amount of food and friendly service. Very happy

Lovely breakfast and good value for money. Best of all hot coffees

Brilliant place, service and food exceptional. We had plater for two and it was very good value. Definitely wish they were nearer to our home town. The owner couldn’t do enough for us. Plus we could take our dog in. Lots of places in Stirling are not dog friendly!

Absolutely beautiful and clean food. Very tasty Top class service, 5* all round

Comida absolutamente deliciosa. Muy amigable con veganos y perros también. Maravilloso servicio amable. Nos hicieron batidos veganos con una selección de leches veganas. Y luego delicioso souvlaki de tofu con estas hermosas papas fritas de orégano y tatziki vegano. Seguido de postres veganos griegos, un pastel de naranja y baklava. El baklava estaba delicioso.

Así que para empezar diría que el frente de la casa no es lo que se llama pijo, es bastante soso en la decoración, pero está bien. De vuelta a la zona del inodoro podría hacer con la puesta en marcha, pero estaba todo limpio. Pero no se puede comer la decoración. La comida era excelente. Gran tamaño de porción también. El personal era excelente y el precio era increíble. Tuve una pitta, me habían dicho que la porción era un desafío de hombre contra comida, así que decidí tener algunas papas fritas a un lado. Sin duda volvería a ir de nuevo.

I come here all the time, it’s such a hidden gem! They serve incredible halloumi slouvaka meals and lovely cakes. :)

Good food at a reasonable price. Lovely people.

The food and desserts were great and the guy working there was very friendly!! We had a great time

Incredible food and great family vibe!

Agradable experiencia, entró a comer un bocado rápido, es un gran lugar para la buena comida griega honesta como alternativa a las cadenas regulares de comida rápida

Absolutamente impresionante! Realmente fue el mejor Souvlaki que he comido fuera de Grecia. También compartimos las papas fritas cargadas de feta; cada bocado fue una pequeña explosión de sabor. El joven que nos sirvió fue una alegría; era muy educado, interesante, y conocía bien su menú. No podemos recomendar este pequeño café lo suficiente, y es una pena que vivimos tan lejos como estaríamos aquí semanalmente.

The restaurant has a magical ambience the minute you start to walk up the stairs and continued throughout. The food was amazing and the staff were the icing on the cake. Beautiful place to go. Highly recommend it 👌

Tuve delicioso zouflaki vegetariano después de una noche de trabajo, no lejos del hotel del león de oro donde me alojaba, la gente encantadora y amable dirige el restaurante, me hizo sentir muy bienvenido

Vivimos en la zona de Stirling y Café Aina es nuestro lugar favorito para el almuerzo. La comida siempre es excelente y tiene sabores griegos verdaderamente auténticos. El personal es muy amable y acogedor.

Very friendly staff, generous portions and very tasty gyro, amazing milkshakes

Food was fresh and delicious, the service was fast, helpful and informative, the deserts and greek coffee were extremely nice.

Lovely wee place in Stirling, really great for veggie/vegan stuff. The souvlaki options are class, better than places in Glasgow I’ve tried. Highly recommend.

Classic hangout and great food I come here with my buddies every couple of weeks to hangout, where the food is great and the staff really look after us. Almost every time I order the chicken gyros, which is a satisfying mix of chicken, chips, sauce and spices. 8/10 I have ordered the double portion once, but honestly it's huge and unless you're super hungry, a single portion is more than enough. My vegan friend swears by the souvlaki

Some of the best greek food I've had! The staff is always so lovely and friendly. The food is fresh and incredibly tasty. I've lost count of how many times I've been back now

Nice street type Greek food. Friendly service, reasonable prices.

Was out for a friend's birthday last night and we had a brilliant time. I used to live in Cyprus and having some good authentic greek food and friendly service was great. Infact we drove through from Larbert for our lunch today. Highly recommend the halloumi and pork souvlaki. My new favourite place!

Me and my buddies ordered chicken and falafel souvlaki; both were loaded with fries and really tasted great. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Excellent food, friendly staff and reasonable prices for what you get. Good gluten free options too.

Food was amazing had the Chicken Gyros and Oregano chips. Definitely be back next time we're in Stirling.

My server was very kind and friendly, food was delicious I would absolutely go back

Delicioso restaurante griego con un trato excepcional por parte del personal. Se agradece comida fresca y sana en un viaje largo por escocia. Gracias Angelos por tu amabilidad.

Very friendly service. We had Halloumi souvlaki and Soya Kebab. Both were very good. Didn’t wait long for the food. Other vegetarian options we would like to try - so we‘ll have to come back.

Great food, huge portions will be back

Great food, delicious and tasty. Very nice service. Thank you 🌮🥧🥙

Delicious Greek food, great service, friendly staff. I ordered a small Greek salad which was more than enough for me as I was not very hungry. I also ordered a side of humus. It comes with pita bread, but I asked not to bring the pita as it was not wholewheat or brown pita bread due to dietary restrictions. They explained that it was made there, so it was not artificially preserved. My friends had it and it looked amazing and soft! The place is clean and the prices are very reasonable! I would recommend it for vegetarians, too. I would go back!

Fantastic food and ideal for lunch, love their Souvlaki and so many Vegan options - lovely staff and very friendly. Very popular for good reasons, couldn't recommend more!

Delicious food, generous portions, kind people...well done...

Absolutely outstanding souvlakis with very good options for vegans. The cakes are by far the best in Stirling. I would highly recommend visiting cafe Aina to anyone visiting Stirling.

Just had a coffee. It was good and so was the service

Lovely cafe with tasty cakes n great service

Visited here 2 months ago and still get a deep impression. Friendly staff and the Greek food are awesome.

The food is excellent! Halloumi souvlaki take away was delicious. The take away took 35 mins though (ordered at the counter), which tbh I think is too long - the person who ordered after me was served 15 mins ahead of me, which was disappointing. Eat in: great! Lots of people were served ahead of me! Looks delicious! Take away: be patient. It’s tasty, but good luck! Halloumi souvlaki was 10/10

Very friendly owner, comfort food to share, relaxing atmosphere! A little bit of Greece in Scotland. Good vor veggie and vegan!

Simple Greek food cooked to perfection. Generous portions of fresh, high quality ingredients well presented and served with a genuine enthusiasm to give every customer the best possible experience.

Typical great Italian coffee plus pistachio cannoli

Great traditional Greek/Cypriot food. Very friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

I had a lovely meal here whilst visiting Scotland in August. I loved all the dips and the vanilla milkshake was incredible too. Thank you

Delicious panini, coffee and cakes. Lovely people too.

We had a lovely evening here on Saturday 7th September with friends and family Service was super friendly and food excellent Also a good drinks selection I had the pork souvlaki portion which is super generous The mashed olives, hummus and fried halloumi are also delicious

2 avonden na elkaar hier gegeten, Oma kookt en maakt heerlijk taarten als dessert De bediening is vriendelijk en attent Good luck !

Pork and falafel are fantastic and the bread is even better!

Simple but very nice little Greek restaurant.

(Does what it says on the tin) greek street food) staff were very welcoming and attentive, food was good and satisfying although baklava was a too sweet for me, my wife loved it worth a visit

Great find in Sterling. Service was great, thank you Angelos for explaining the menu to us and giving us an insight in to Greece. Food was reasonably priced and tasty!

Food was tasty and ample, service was super, excellent value! The only moan would be the extractor was broken (I think), so I came out smelling of kitchen. Would recommend to anyone.

My first time here, although some of my family been before and had no complaints. Lovely food at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service, very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu/food and clearly passionate about their business. Will definitely be back and recommend that you should certainly try this place for yourself.

the food is always amazing, great vegan choices and very friendly staff. It is a no frills place but this in no way detracts from the atmosphere.

Food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and relaxed, a bit time-independent but this all adds to the atmosphere. Internal decoration is inversely proportional to the great food and the cosiness. Who wants a beautiful place with soulless food and stiffly unfriendly staff do not come here. We enjoyed our time here. Vegan food was a plus. Greek vine was yumm.

Honestly best food I've ever tasted. The waiter was so nice would highly recommend 5stars

Nice ppl, great food, One plate is enough to share

Extended hours, delicious Greek food, tons of 5/5 vegan options, great prices!

One of my favourite restaurants in Stirling! Tofu souvlaki and a side of halloumi... chips come herb coated for extra yumminess. The staff are really friendly and will remember you the next time you visit. All homemade, fresh food. Wheelchair accessible, staff are keen to help if you need assistance with anything.

Great food, and lovely staff. I really recommend their vegan options!

Top class food with excellent friendly service.

A relaxed casual eatery with friendly staff and tasty food. We had the vegan mezzo for two and it was very generous. The mashed olive dip was my favourite.

small but very nice place to have a Greek meal. VERY kind and helpful staff, helping us to find the right dish size. Noticing we were new to the place, they really took their time to explain the menu.

Amazing food!! Also super friendly, would definitely come back!

I went with my mother and we both loved it! Super recommended

Gyros are just alright, can't say it's the best I tried. This place wouldn't survive in Glasgow or Edinburgh long, it's surviving in Stirling because there is no competition. Message for the owners: Invest a couple of grand to decorate a place, it looks like a russian gulag canteen from the 1950s. When you eat in a greek restaurant you actually want to feel a bit of a mediterranean atmosphere.

Went for Saturday lunch and it was wonderful, freshly made and vert tasty

Very low quality price. I do not recommend it

I've been in Scotland for 7 days and this has been without a doubt the worst and dirtiest place I've ever eaten, plus it cost the same as in good quality places. Check the bathroom before entering and you will see that you will not eat there.

The food was very good, good quantities, tasty and good price. The service was fast and the attention was good. They also advised us very well when we asked for a pub where we could have a few beers and watch soccer.

You don't usually eat Greek food outside of Greece, but Aina and its dishes were an unexpectedly pleasant surprise and very affordable

Great location and atmosphere. Staff super friendly and food was delicious. More than reasonable pricing for what you get. We ordered the chicken souvlaki pitta, it came with chips in the wrap which was a bit unusual but tasted great.

American friends visiting and we all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

One of my favourite places to eat in Stirling - I’d recommend the tofu souvlaki! Delicious cakes and fantastic service. I’m a wheelchair user and access into the building is good, staff will help with the door if needed and will do all they can to accommodate you.

Authentic Greek Cypriot restaurant, loved the pork souvlaki and the halloumi

Amazing restaurant, run by a lovely and welcoming family. The home made food is amazing and for a good price. The service is outstanding, with personal advice and regular check ups to see if everything is alright. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely family run business which is evident in the passion demonstrated by the team. We had a lovely meal. The staff were so attentive and helpful, explaining the options to us. Great to have vegan options! Food was superb - would highly recommend 😋

The best halloumi souvlaki I’ve ever had. Fresh, tasty and great value. Highly recommend

great place.great food.great service

Staff were lovely, food was okay but the chips were very disappointing.

Very reasonably priced and tasty Greek street food. Spacious venue and friendly and helpful staff. Great experience 😊

The menu looked ok and it was well priced, but the food was disappointing. The best part of the meal was the hot chocolate. The rest of the meal felt like it had been standing a while before serving as it wasn’t hot and was rather oily. The pita was heavy and oily. The chips only lukewarm warm and the meat was overcooked and oily. All in all, quite disappointing. The service was cheerful and welcoming, though hap hazard. Water, ordered at the beginning arrived after the meal and a group who had booked a table were left waiting as nobody bothered to keep track of the tables.

We were referred here by the bakery across the street. The food was amazing, the portions large and the service was excellent. The prices were very reasonable.

Great food and friendly staff! Plenty of vegetarian options too. Excellent overall.

We looked for the highest rated restaurant to have a quick lunch and found this place. It looks a bit run down however we trusted the ratings and went in. Glad we did. The food was a 6 out 5! The bread was delicious and everything else followed suit! Will deffo be back next time we are in Stirling.

The place so readily good. Food was delicious especially hummus and pitta. Our server Angelos was friendly. Would love to visit it again

Good food, very friendly staff, and the prices are fair. We shared a mixed meat Souvlaki, which is more than enough for a couple.

Aren't you tired of eating pizza or fish and chips all the time? Trust me, come see them. Their cuisine is tasty, the service very friendly and the atmosphere great. Honestly, it's worth it just to stop by and say hello to the owner. More than recommended!

Been quite a few times now and really enjoy the food especially Tofu wraps and attentive service, with the clean and tidy facilities

The souvlaki (pork for my son, halloumi for me) were delicious, and the menu options were explained clearly to us. The desserts were also excellent, and accompanied by a gelato-style ice cream which was not too sweet and thus balanced the sweetness of the baklava perfectly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Stirling, as I want to try the tofu souvlaki, and the beetroot one, and the falafel one...

Brilliant food, and very friendly staff. Little pricey for small meals but still good.

Food was absolutely fantastic. Can highly recommend the meze to get a taste of everything. Service can be a little slow at times, but staff were very friendly and attentive.

A really good gyros, a beautiful place and the waiter really kind and ready to help you 😍

Best Indian restaurant food I have had ( I've had a lot) the food here is excellent

Friendly service, delicious food.

Great service !!! And excellent food
