Cafe AINA in Stirling

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.

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.

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

Typical great Italian coffee plus pistachio cannoli

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.

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

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.

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.

Top class food with excellent friendly service.

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

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 😋

great place.great food.great service

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

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 place! Great pita! Only have seen this style of pita served in Greece!

Great service !!! And excellent food

Had a great time here! Sat outside and basked in the sunlight. It’s not often you can find vegan Greek food in the UK even though in Greece there is loads! We enjoyed it so much, definitely planning our next trip back!

Amazing vegan souvlaki! We split the tofu portion, the vegan tzatziki was delicious, and I feel like the pitta must've been home-made as it was quite thick, light and fluffy. They have an extensive range of vegan options and I'm sure we will be back to try them all! Highly recommend

Went for a lovely meal and had the chicken souvlaki portion which was absolutely delicious, cannot fault any part of the dish. The experience was really made by the excellent host who explained the menu and gave us great info about the bottle of red wine we ordered. Will definitely be back, fantastic value for money and really warm welcoming atmosphere 😀

Was here today for a late lunch for the first time and the service and food was amazing. Waiter was really friendly and asked if we'd been before and when we said we hadnt he explained the menu to us and made some recommemdations. I highly recommend the chicken or pork gyros 🙂

A lovely family run business genuinely wanting to share the joy and experience of hearty, homemade, fresh Greek cuisine. Returning customer who leaves happy every time! My favourite is the falafel souvlaki and they have some great vegan cakes on offer too. Good experience dining in and ordering through delivery.

Great falafels, very reasonably priced and we enjoyed our time here as everyone serving was friendly. There was an amazing choice of vegan options.

Great food, great value and really friendly, hardworking staff. There was a good selection for my vegan friend too!

Angel is a sun. The best. He advised us wonderfully. Delicious food and at a very good price. 100% recommended.

I ate lots of food. I still feel full. In hindsight I did not need to finish it all. The man who served us had nice eyes.

Amazing food and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Terrific food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Thank you x

Wow. What a place. Food was incredible, service was great and very reasonable prices. I’m going to sleep like a baby wrapped in pita tonight.

Brilliant service and even better food!

Really good greek-cypriot restaurant in Stirling. Flavoursome food and friendly service and restaurant being busy. They have changed their menu and offer a variety of Souvlaki with salad options. They do not offer breakfasts anymore. They now also offer alcoholic beverages. Also the coffee n cakes are highly recommended. 😊

Tried it for the first time yesterday, were going to sit in but our 4 week old baby started crying so we decided to get a takeaway, the staff were very accommodating and told us we didn't have to leave but we were too stressed ruining people's dinner haha. My wife's got ceoliac disease so we are all ways wary of trying new places as some places say they are gluten free and it's not but they were great. The food was incredible, I got the chicken gyrosand my wife the Greek loaded fries and chicken souvlaki salad. By the far the best restaurant in stirling.

Really nice tasting coffee and a huge muffin which was really tasty.

The food was amazing. It took a little longer to arrive, but we accidentally came in 20 minutes before opening. The server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the food on the menu.

He is always magnificent, fresh, well cooked, and with great atmosphere, thank u team aina

Yummy, and great to have a good selection of vegan options

I always make a point of going back here when I'm in Stirling, for it's wonderful combination of friendly and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere and of course delicious food. It's a firm favourite.

Loved the food will definitely be back

We ate here last night and I have to say the meal and service were outstanding. The food was delicious and decent portion sizes. From the moment we arrived, the waiting staff were very attentive and explained all the options to us and even offered his own recommendations and advice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting really good food in the city center.

Great food, friendly staff, nice environment! Favorite lunch place in Stirling ❤️

A wonderful meal served with plenty of great recommendations, including vegan options. Food was perfect, served quickly and with a wonderful smile and history to the cooking. Thank you!

A fantastic place for a true Greek meal! Delicious food. Lovely helpful staff. Highly recommend this place

This was great. Excellent quality, service, and reasonably priced.

This meal was truly magical! As a vegan they had a great selection of options with roughly half the menu being vegan/veggie. I had the tofu souvlaki which was absolutely delicious and a good level of filling. My friends both really enjoyed their meals too. The desserts went hard too. The service was excellent and our waiter was very friendly. Recommend highly!

The staff is very kind and welcoming and the food is delicious, plenty of choices. We were so hungry that forgot to take pictures of the food. Highly recommend the place and surely we'll be back.

Always excellent service and lovely food. Portions are generous, and it's good value for money.

Definitely in my top 3 best bites in town. Friendly staff, tasty food and nice coffee. They have a very good range of food to choose from, being able to either go for a refreshing light full of taste salad or treat yourself with a tasty chicken gyros with tzatziki sauce. Spanish and English spoken.

Was excellent. I will visit again soon

Great food and friendly service. Kudos to Angelos for providing an excellent service.
