Purple Chopstix - Athens

I worked as a waiter at this restaurant a few months ago, and I often took home food, which was always fantastic. So, I must admit this review is a bit biased from the start. I returned tonight for an actual sit-down meal, and everything was delicious. Even though I’ve tried nearly everything on the menu, it still took me a while to decide what I wanted because there are so many great options. I ultimately chose the red curry, and it was amazing. Here's a pro tip: if they have ice cream available, definitely get it on top of the homemade chocolate raspberry cake. Another insider tip from my time as an employee: the salad greens are fresh every day, and the sesame soy dressing is outstanding.

Charming little family-owned restaurant. Each dish on the menu was uniquely crafted.

I don't want to sound negative, but this restaurant fell short of my expectations. The tom yum soup was quite good, but the stir fry and Thai curry were disappointing. The vegetables appeared to be frozen, and the chicken was rubbery and hard to eat. Next time, we'll be returning to Sanam instead.

Their customer service was top notch. The ambience of this place is amazing. I enjoyed the outside seating which tunes you to the sound of the stream behind it, I loved this. The food was quite okay. If you plan on drinking, it is best to bring your own as they don’t serve alcohol. They will only charge you for the glasses you will use for the alcohol.

We were there as guests at a catered event. At this event the food was served buffet style. My experience has been that it is hard to have consistent quality in that setting, but wow, both the chicken and the beef dishes were delicious, and from my perspective the beef was perfectly cooked, so tender and flavorful. It seems like the restaurant is a family business, though I don't know that for sure. Very friendly, delicious food, and vibrant decorations. We glanced at the menu posted so we could think about when we will visit again
