Had lovely meze in the most friendly, cozy place! Everything was delicious and gave a homemade feeling. The bread was insanely good and the highlight was the strapatsada (Greek version of scrambled eggs with tomato). The staff was extraordinary and very helpful. It is true that you enter as a stranger and leave as a friend. Will definitely visit again!

One of the best if not the best Greek restaurant in Edinburgh. I like that they do Cretan meze instead of the usual gyros you can find in every other place.

What a great little find thanks to google reviews. Beautiful little place with great food served in the traditional way of “plates”. Every dish was bob on. The octopus was beautifully soft with a barbecued edge. Perfect. The traditional pork and sausage was to die for. The feta pie beautifully seasoned served with a little pot of honey. Very authentic Greek food served with a smile and a giggle. Took us back to our month long Greek islands odyssey and reminded us we still haven’t been to Crete!

What a lovely gem! Went there with a friend after hyping the Greek cuisine to her and reading the reviews (Greeks love their Greek food) and it did not disappoint :) All the platters were delicious and authentic, the Greek music on the background was lovely and Gianna who served us so friendly, helpful and amazing. Can't wait to go back - I just wish I lived closer to it.

Absolutely phenomenal food, super fresh and the menu isn't too long and overwhelming but still has lots of new things to try. Can highly recommend the fava dip with the fresh bread and the Cretian salad but everything was outstanding. Greek food in the UK is so often disappointing but this place is a real wee gem!

Dined here alone a couple weeks ago while traveling solo. It had a relaxed cozy environment and was just a couple minutes walk from my Airbnb. Service was amazing. I ordered the lamb liver and prawns. The liver I liked more but you really have to be a liver lover as it doesn’t hide it and is very simply cooked and drizzled in olive oil and lemon. The prawns came in a sauce which were ok.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem by luck and are so thrilled that we did! We had the most incredible food and friendliest service in a cozy atmosphere. We had the Greek salad, aubergine dip (unreal), feta in phyllo with honey, prawns (I could drink that sauce!!) I even got to relive my honeymoon with a bit of mystiha and lemonade! Plus homemade ice cream (strataciella and almond) with our Greek coffee to finish. Portions were more than generous between the two of us. Food was so fresh and flavorful. We had such authentic food and even lovelier service, I wish I got our server's name. But even the ladies in the kitchen came out to help and chat. We felt like family and were fed like it too. Already planning to come back STAT!

I went for dinner here last night, and it was just incredible. Every dish was so delicious, the wine selection was really good, the service amazing. I'm running out of adjectives, but would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. The menu changes occasionally apparently, so there's always more to try. Some of the dishes I haven't seen since I was in the Cyclades in Greece last year, and if anything it was even better than the ones I had in Greece. The owners are so lovely too! Just a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to go back.

We had the most brilliant food at Kafeneion to Steki. After a warm welcome from the new Mediterranean team, we enjoyed the relaxed and attentive atmosphere the whole night (you can tell just through the atmosphere and the language surrounding you that it’s the real Greek/Cretan deal!) Food was exceptional, served promptly by the chef. She had selected high quality ingredients and treated them with love. Simple and delicious. Charred sardines, braised and charred octopus, thyme potato chips, Smokey aubergine dip, homemade bread and garlic mushrooms. All good value, food plus drinks. One of the best meals we’ve ever had in Edinburgh, in over a decade. We can’t wait to come back! Worth a trip down the Water of Leith for this hidden gem.

What a wonderful restaurant! We went on a beautiful summers day. Awesome location by the Water of Leith, giving it an intimate and cozy feel. The ladies who work there are ridiculously sweet, and the food is wonderful -- tasted as good or better than anything we've had in Crete, and prices were very reasonable. It has a really pleasant atmosphere and we plan to return again during our time in Edinburgh. I gather it's a new restaurant, and I think it makes a great addition to the Leith area. Rock on girls!

In our last visit in Edinburgh, we had a desire for authentic Greek food. All of a sudden, we came across "kafeneion to steki". The food was exceptional. Traditional dishes that reminded me all the delicious food our yiayia used to cook in our village in Greece. You Must try: feta cheese wrapped in plyllo and of course for all the sea food enthusiasts,marinated anchovies. As for the hole experience and the service, you inevitably feel warmth and the most friendly environment!
