Hearty Comfort Food. Perfect for Chilly Days. - Edit
I frequented this place often when I stayed in Athens: I enjoyed the simple names of the pita wraps ("Red", "Yellow", etc.) and the crowds that came to this eatery. Although I stood in line often to order food from here, it moved quickly. I personally admired the stamina and knowledge of the staff workers, who likely know their food offerings by heart!
Read moreThe souvlaki and pita wraps were hot and comforting to eat during the chilly March evenings that I remember fondly.

Best Souvlaki EVER! - Edit
While your typical vegan souvlaki in Greece is the same old pita with french fries and whatever veggie they have remaining, Cookoomela offers completely “out of the norm” souvlaki options which are SOOOO TASTY it will make you go back for more and more! Always a pleasure to visit and staff and owner always so friendly and kind😄highly recommend

Amazing and fulfilling meal - Edit
The perfect place for traditional vegan fast food. The gyros is perfect full of veggies and well balanced with the sauce. The kebab with lentils is also delicious. Must try when in Athens

Very tasty pitas! - Edit
All vegan place serving different versions of mushroom gyros & lentil kebabs in pitas. Sauces are great and the potatoes are melt in your mouth. Also super cheap at around 2.70eur per pita. Owner was very friendly and I even got a taster potato while I was ordering. Highly recommended!

Awesome vegan Gyros - Edit
We looked for vegan restaurants in Greece upon our journey to Greece and found this awesome restaurant. They offer delicious vegan gyros, salads and more! We are highly recommending to visit Cookomela in Athens.

Sehr gut! - Edit
Wir hatten ein Yellow und ein Joghurt Kebab Gyros und eine Kebap-Portion. Köstlich, schnell zubereitet und auch noch sehr günstig (2 Personen satt mit Getränken 13€) Der Chef ungemein freundlich, hat uns zum Schluss noch einen veganen Eissalon empfohlen :)

Try it yourself! - Edit
This place was great! The food was delicious and very inexpensive. The owner/manager on duty was very friendly, and gave recommendations (yellow and red pita). I am a huge mushroom fan, so I was happy. The menu says €2.90, but I got 2 pitas and an order of potato wedges and only paid €8.10. Absolute bargain, very filling, and great atmosphere in an eclectic part of town. Recommend!

major disappointment - Edit
ONE STAR *
Read morehigly overrated. I can not understand the fascination.
poorly prepared mushrooms. mediocre, blunt taste.
tried it once and all four of us were disappointed. i don't believe i would buy again.
on top of that, the guy in charge has serious attitude issues, not professional.
* I wish happy cow hadn't allocated one extra star automatically.
I think my one star is what this place really deserves.

Burnt mushrooms with an extra bitter taste - Edit
Terrible and burned mushrooms rolled up in a tiny almost raw pita bread suffocated in a terrible yellow or brown 🙄 sauce... The lentil kebab was one and worst of a kind. Absolutely ridiculous. And the worst of all is they think they have a good product. Not a good vegan place. Safe your money
Read morePros: No , Pros
Cons: Burned and bitter mushrooms, Owner is unfriendly. , Better keep your money

Delicious and cheap !! A must go - Edit
We had the lentil kebab and the red Champion Gyros and both was super delicious! And the best thing: it was super cheap (~3€) but the portion isn’t small! Also the staff was very kind and there was even a woman who talked in German to us! If you’re in Athene GO HERE 🌱
Read moreBeen here a second time and shared the green mushroom gyros! Also very recommended!
Pros: Kind staff , Super delicious food
Cons: None

El mejor gyros - Edit
Baratísimo y con unos gyros increíbles. La única pena es que no tenga postres. Para cenar algo rápido en su terraza si hace bueno muy recomendable.
