Amazing sushi sashimi omakase style. Highly highly recommended. Excellent sushi and experience.
Unique in Athens, there is a limited number of seats around the chef who prepares rolls in front of you. Menu depends on what fresh fish they could get from the market. You can order what's on the menu or let the chef suggest what you should try. Chef and staff extremely friendly without being annoying.

Top of the top! Almost worth a Michelin Star!
The concept of Nolan is sharing different dishes and this is the reason why the portion is not too small/not too big. Detail truly matters. Take it from the serving plates, to the service, to the welcoming smile that never leaves the face and to the, oh so amazing, food! The chef is not only creative but can really combine ingredients in such a unique way (close your eyes and feel the taste...).
Prices are more than fair. Such quality of food would deserve much higher ones and would be so charged in any other place.
