Chalali: A place... a gathering!

The 'Chalali' was envisioned by a group of friends and thus created a family-style tavern nestled in the quiet square of Riga Feraiou, next to the city center. The tavern exudes a warm atmosphere dressed in stone, adorned with frames displaying images of old Heraklion. In one corner, a mandolin rests, while a hanging platter dominates a little further. This place is a gathering with a common characteristic: a love and passion for good, tasty food.

The 'Chalali' offers Cretan traditional cuisine with quality ingredients, local meats, and daily specials that are constantly renewed. You must try their stuffed lamb rolls and slow-cooked goat, as well as their delightful pastry rolls and eggplant saganki with smoked pork.

At 'Chalali,' you'll also enjoy superb seafood like garlic shrimp and mussels saganki. To finish, they'll treat you to handmade milk pie with fresh pastry and chilled raki. Just a few steps away stands the Holy Temple of Agios Minas, worth visiting for prayer.
