Diethnés

This is important. I went here a few years ago on my first day in Greece. The moussaka here is the best in Greece. My wife and I traveled around Greece for two weeks and I had moussaka for every dinner, trying to find some place that compared to this restaurant. None of them do. Best moussaka in Greece.

Seems a little underrated traditional Greek restaurant. If you are fed up with souvlaki and gyros and want to taste real Greek food just get into... to taste Greek cousin sitting in the garden under some lemon trees. The owner made a plate with good selection of food, I really enjoyed every moment in this restaurant.

They are wonderful people with wonderful food! True Greek atmosphere, friendly and welcoming, delicious and well portioned.

Very tasty original homemade food, nice and friendly owners. Since we came for the first time we kept coming back and ended up eating only here while in Sparti :) Loved it and will be back next year for sure. Thank you Takis and Anastasia!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at Diethnes restaurant in Sparti, and I can confidently say that this establishment is a true gem in every sense of the word. From the moment you step in, you're transported to a world where the essence of Greece and Sparti's heritage come alive.The fearless leader of this culinary expedition is none other than Panayotis, affectionately known as Taki, who could easily be mistaken for a chiseled Spartan warrior from a bygone era. His passion for delivering the finest Greek cuisine is palpable in every dish served. Taki and his family’s commitment to authenticity shine through, and it's clear that they pour their heart and soul into every culinary creation.And let's not forget about Giorgos, his loyal culinary compatriot, who complements Taki's vision seamlessly. Together, they form an unbeatable team dedicated to making your dining experience unforgettable.Diethnes is more than just a restaurant; it's a family affair that encapsulates the very essence of Sparti and Greece. The moment you enter the premises, you're welcomed into their extended family, and that warmth is reflected in the attentive service you receive.The food at Diethnes is nothing short of spectacular. Every bite is a journey through Greece's rich culinary heritage. The flavors burst with authenticity, and it's like a symphony of tastes that dance on your palate. Whether it's the succulent grilled meats, the fresh seafood, or the heavenly pastries, every dish is a testament to the culinary prowess of Taki and his team.As you dine in the enchanting garden, you'll be surrounded by the beauty of Greece, with grapes, olives, and citrus trees hanging in the Greek twilight. Eating authentic Greek food under the Spartan stars is a truly magical experience. It's as if you've been transported to a different time and place, and for a moment, you're living a scene out of a Greek fantasy.I've had the privilege of dining at Diethnes three times now, and each visit has been a culinary journey filled with joy and Kefi (the Greek spirit of joy, passion, and enthusiasm). Whether you're a local or a traveler passing through Sparti, this restaurant is a must-visit. I've brought my family here, and they share my sentiment – we long to come back to Diethnes, where the heart of Greece beats in every dish, and the Spartan spirit lives on. This place is a true treasure, and I can't recommend it enough. Yiassas!

The food was amazing and they were pretty patient and nice people!

Very kind owners who made us feel welcome although we wanted to have lunch quite late. Good food and good price!

This is a delightful place to eat. My wife and I walked in not knowing what to expect. A man (who turned out to be the owner) started talking with us and explaining what food they had. After a little conversation, he said he would make us a lamb dish with eggplant and potatoes. All I can say is that, from first bite to last, it was delicious!We enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden behind the restaurant looking at the citrus trees and relishing the cool breeze. The owner served us himself and talked with us for a while.I already told some friends about this place and they enjoyed it too. I'll only be in Sparti for a week, but I'll eat here again before we leave.
