“ I had an amazing experience. The staff at Kima were so friendly and paid attention to detail. They cleaned the tables between courses, checked to find out if everything was okay at intervals that didn’t feel like they were interrupting. My friend and I did the fish selection served in 3 different ways. The courses were delicious. The restaurant is pricey so be ready to splurge a little for some fresh seafood. ”
“ Every dish was delicious, and the service was truly amazing. Linda took care of us with the kind of attention and professionalism you’d expect at a Michelin-starred restaurant. We’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ This is definitely the kind of restaurant to bring and impress a foodie friend. The fish was incredibly fresh, and I loved the interactive aspect of picking your own fish and cooking every part of it. The highlight was definitely the red mullet soup—it was fantastic. The ceviche was beautifully thinly sliced, although I felt the salt flakes were a bit much and slightly overshadowed the flavor. The dry-aged tuna was exceptional, and my personal favorite was the risotto, which had a wonderfully rich flavor. The seaweed tiramisu was perfectly balanced and a delightful surprise. The service was top-notch—attentive, knowledgeable and meticulous, from plate changes to cleaning up the table and explaining the whole experience. Highly recommend! ”
“ Incredibly delicious food and incredibly kind service. We were super well taken care of by the staff and they gave excellent recommendations. The fish soup, Greek salad, carpaccio and cuttlefish gnocchi dishes were delectable and they gave us a delightful birthday dessert. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of their menu, thank you! ”
“ Excellent experience, I highly recommend it! I absolutely loved this seafood restaurant! The food was delicious, with well-prepared dishes and incredibly fresh fish. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were very kind. A perfect evening in every way. I definitely recommend it to everyone and will surely come back! ”
“ Excellent food, service and ambience. The Greek salad was excellent, with the best Greek feta cheese. We ordered a grilled sea bream which was perfectly grilled, cleaned and presented. The lemon custard dessert was very good. Recommended. ”
“ KIMA is wonderful. Without doubt the best fish menu we have ever tasted. The seemagreta fish was absolutely delightful in all its guises as soup, crudo, and different roasts. The sourdough bread so light and 75 ball desert just divine. The service and attention to detail impeccable, friendly and professional. The ambiance of KIMA is warm and charming. Your wine selection of the Tria Ampelia was perfect and the wine simply exquisite. I loved the salty, chalk and volcanic mineral flavour which complimented the fish precisely. The Skinos on the biggest block of clear ice was a final treat. Nikos Roussos's culinary skills, precision and hospitality are second to none. Andreas Labridis also the perfect host. Thank you. ”
“ I came to Kima last minute for my birthday and was blown away by the level of service. The manager and our waitress went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, even on such short notice. They were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely kind – it felt like they truly cared about creating a great experience. The fish was unbelievably fresh and cooked to perfection, but it was really the outstanding service that made the night unforgettable. I can’t recommend Kima enough and will definitely be returning. ”
