Went there twice in one week. They do serve a plate of 8 or 9 home-made local dishes by default, so if for some strange reason you want something else, tell the waiter immediately :-). Both times there were many locals eating, which is always a good sign. If you like stronger alcoholic drinks, ask for local moonshine, called souma. It\s good, but you have to be careful with it :-) The place does get busy by 20:00..21:00, best time for arriving is at 19:30..20:00. If i will be near Tholos again, I\d go eat here for sure.
