Food was alright - Edit
Cheap and had plenty of options, but there are plenty of other vegan places in Athens, and most will have tastier food. Got a variety of Souvlaki and the burger, but they just weren’t all that flavorful

So instead of leaving good reviews for the other vegan restaurants of Athens that satisfied you ,you left a negative for us !

FAVORITE - Edit
This was my first and still favorite vegan place I visited, this and vegan beat! The Gyros are great!!!!!! My non vegan friend got the “bacon & cheese” burger, he couldn’t stop thinking about them. My non vegan brother had a gyro too and was his favorite of the trip. So friendly too! Wine was fabulous also!! We came at night and Magic Kitchen is another vegan spot right next to it, so that’s fun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND COOKOOMELA GRILL!

Delicious street food - Edit
The lentil kebab tastes really good. Food portions are generous, especially the gyros. The cheese and bacon burger is good, especially the burger itself.

We felt well cared for at this eatery. We were greeted with kindness and helped to order. The food was absolutely delicious. We arrived in the evening, for dinner, sat outside and enjoyed the very lively atmosphere while we ate. Don’t miss it!

Incredible street food - Edit
The street food here is incredibly cheap and fresh, making it a great option for a quick and delicious meal. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Instead of meat, they use mushrooms as a substitute, which works surprisingly well, proving that a great souvlaki doesn’t need much more than quality ingredients and good seasoning 😍 I’d recommend trying their potatoes!!

Great food - Edit
My first visit to Cookoomela was nearly 6 years ago when they only had 3 options of souvlaki. I was happy to find they are still in business and now have 10 options. It is located in an exciting and anarchist part of town, which I love. They have mushroom and lentil as their base “meats” The rainbow souvlaki is made with mushroom and is amazing. I am looking forward to going back and trying the lentil.

Great food and vibe - Edit
This place was always busy when we walked past, we decided to order and were not disappointed.
Read moreWe ordered the green and red souvlakis, flavour was good! Guy running the place is friendly and welcoming. It would be good to see a non-mushroom based option for those who aren’t fond of mushrooms.

Pretty good souvlaki - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
We came here for dinner and it was absolutely delicious.
Read moreThe 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! - Edit
Cookoomela serves vegan gyros with a wide range of toppings and mushroom or lentil meat replacements .
Read moreThe 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.

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.
