Xalali - Irakleion

Hidden little jewel. great food, prices and service. that we were. recommended this place by a Cretan friend. we will definitely return at our next visit in the city. ignore ignorant review of a person who marked it a star based on the fact that she had a vogel in a cage.

We were quite surprised how nice this restaurant was. the prices were low, so we only had 'good value for money', but actually that was eating some of the most beautiful we had on kreta. the appetizers were fantastic, the free bread fresh and delicious. there are always, as other reviews have mentioned, a free drink of strawberry raki that ends the meal of beautiful the location was not 'the best of view on the harbour' like the restaurant in the center of the city, but it was nice enough and shaded against the heat of the day we will go again

It was so good that I went there for lunch and a few hours later I went back for dinner. Great food, prices, place (in a calm and nice little square); very cool Greek music in the background and super friendly staff!

The food is very delicious and traditionally greek. Nice atmosphere for sitting outside. Also the service is very good! Fair price. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food and amazing service. We enjoyed it so much and we wish we had more days left of our trip to come to this place again. The location is nice and quiet. We got the table very fast even though we came without the reservation. The Greek salad was probably the best one I’ve tried in Crete for a very low price (5-5,50eur). The complementary desert was also very nice and tasty. Highly recommend this place!!
