If you’re looking for a spot that combines delicious food with peaceful vibes, you’ve just found it! Ama Lachi in Exarchia is one of those places that’s hard to forget and easy to love. With over ten years of steady presence, it has built a loyal following that keeps coming back for its familiar, friendly atmosphere and consistently flavorful dishes. One of its greatest assets? Its spacious, lush green courtyard—a true urban oasis that feels like a getaway from the city, even though you’re right in the heart of Athens.

The cuisine is rooted in traditional Greek gastronomy, with recipes crafted from seasonal ingredients carefully sourced from select producers across the country. Dishes change with the seasons, and even the desserts are homemade, reflecting the same care and homely flavor.

This year, the menu has been refreshed and promises to impress even the most discerning palates. Standouts among the new offerings include Cretan skioufichta pasta with pleurotus mushrooms, zucchini, and a velvety parmesan cream—a hearty, aromatic choice. There’s also the grilled eggplant with fresh tomato and airy whipped feta mousse, a fresh and Mediterranean option; the chickpea stew with lemony cuttlefish and tahini—a clever, harmonious blend that honors tradition with a creative twist; grilled sardines with white wine, cherry tomatoes, and capers; and to finish, a lemon tart with white chocolate cream and yogurt—light, refreshing, and perfectly sweet to round out your meal. Every dessert at Ama Lachi is handmade, crafted with the same focus on detail and high-quality ingredients. Modern creations that always respect the essence of Greek tradition.

The entire experience at Ama Lachi keeps drawing you back. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, order just one more appetizer, and say, “let’s stay a bit more.” If you’re searching for a hangout that blends quality with warm hospitality, taste with tranquility—this is the place.
