Athens vegan landmark - Edit
I never had a chance to eat a souvlaki— a Greek, street food staple—before today, when I had a chance to visit this well known, long-standing vegan restaurant. Although Cookoomela Grill offer some other items such as burgers and salads, it specializes in vegan souvlakis. The vegan souvlaki I had was delicious.
Read moreYou order at the grill for takeout, or else you sit at the table outside, and the food is brought to you. I assume that natives of Athens vegan already know of this place, and certainly all visitors should try to make a pilgrimage to this place.

Amazing - Edit
There’s so much here I haven’t been able to try yet in Greece and it’s amazing! We got the rainbow supreme souvlaki as well as the white and classic. Both were so flavorful and well made. Great prices and excellent flavor.

Delicious traditional vegan Greek food - Edit
Would highly recommend this place!! A little out the way of most of Athens main stops (we were staying near acropolis) but was well worth the trip !! This place is totally vegan and has a wide selection of gyros, souvlaki and salads.. I had the bbq gyros and it is the best thing I’ve had to eat in a long while 🤯🤩 owner was very friendly and welcoming

YES YES YES - Edit
Everything about this place. The food was delicious, the service was great and the food came out super quick. Sitting outside in this neighborhood is fun and super chill although I don’t think I’d return to the area if it wasn’t for this gyro lol

Tasty burger & chips! - Edit
LOVED their chunky chips and burgers. Situated in a gentrification- defying part of town & enjoyed that fact. Fab to have another vegan place right next door to double the options & ensure there's something for everyone.

Tasty food - Edit
The restaurant offers a nice variety of wraps and burgers. The mushroom Gyros pita and the lendil Kebap was tasty. The lendil Kebab could have some more flavor by spices, herbes, etc.

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!

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.

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.
