Find your place to gather
Planners looking for restaurants for events in Mandra usually have a group that wants grilled meat and a plain, generous table rather than a formal hall. The options here are family tavernas and grill houses: Taverna Kriekoukis, a butcher's shop and taverna founded in 1969 on Str. Nik. Rokka, Elia taverna on Aiolou, Taverna Psistaria o Babis at the 37th km of the old Athens-Thebes road in Paleokountoura, and Taverna Drosia on Papadiamanti. Each suits a different size and mood of gathering.

Taverna Kriekoukis on Str. Nik. Rokka is both a butcher's shop and a taverna, with a family history in livestock, dairy and meat supply going back about a century; the meat is the point. Elia taverna on Aiolou is a straightforward Greek restaurant and taverna.
Taverna Psistaria o Babis, at the 37th km of the old Athens-Thebes road in Paleokountoura, cooks over charcoal: kokoretsi, spit-roasted lamb, paidakia, soups such as patsas and boiled goat, and it offers takeaway. Taverna Drosia on Papadiamanti is a grill house and restaurant serving grilled dishes. The two grill houses differ mainly in setting: roadside on the old road, or a street address in town.
None of these places describes itself as a private-event venue, so treat them as tavernas and grill houses first. Ask whether a group can have the room to itself or a set menu, and how the meat-heavy menu can be adjusted for guests who do not eat it. At Taverna Kriekoukis, ask how the butcher's side shapes the menu for a large table.
Compare the tradeoff between a town address and the old-road location: the first keeps guests close to Mandra, the second can suit a group arriving by car and is easier for a roadside stop. For a grill house, ask how the kitchen handles a fixed serving time for many plates, since charcoal cooking is done to order. Confirm any deposit, cut-off and cancellation terms directly.
Their listings describe them as restaurants and tavernas, not as private-event venues. Ask each one whether it offers exclusive use, a set menu or a reserved area for your group, and get the answer in writing.
Taverna Kriekoukis combines a butcher's shop with the taverna and a long family history in meat, so it is the natural first call for a meat-focused table. Taverna Psistaria o Babis cooks a wide charcoal grill menu, including kokoretsi and spit-roasted lamb.
Elia taverna is on Aiolou, Taverna Drosia on Papadiamanti, and Taverna Kriekoukis on Str. Nik. Rokka, while Taverna Psistaria o Babis is on the old Athens-Thebes road at Paleokountoura. Ask about parking and how guests will arrive if the group is large.
