The questions you ask before you order: answered.

Yes. Both King David venues in Athens, King David Burger at Ermou 78 and King David Kosher Food at Fokionos 12, are kept Mehadrin kosher under Tiferet Yisrael (Vaad Rabbanei Europa). The certificate hangs on the wall at each venue, and you're welcome to look it over before you sit down.

If you keep kosher in Athens, King David is the safe address. Our two venues, the burger on Ermou and the Fokionos address, are Mehadrin-certified under Tiferet Yisrael. There may be other places in the city that call themselves kosher, and each is worth checking on its own terms. With us there's nothing to check: the supervision and the certificate are out in the open.

The supervision is Mehadrin under Tiferet Yisrael (Vaad Rabbanei Europa). King David Burger on Ermou 78 is supervised by Rabbi Harel Asher Yazdi; King David Kosher Food on Fokionos 12 by Rabbi Yaron Chanukah. The meat, the suppliers and the kitchen are inspected every working day, not once a month, but daily.

King David Burger, Ermou 78, by Monastiraki. One minute's walk from Monastiraki Metro, and two or three of those minutes already put you on the route to the Acropolis. As far as we know it's the closest quality kosher food to the site. Eat before the climb or after, and skip the salad-for-dinner routine.

King David Burger is fully meat: no dairy is served there, so there's no meat-and-milk waiting period to count. King David Kosher Food at Fokionos has separate kitchens for its different dishes, all Mehadrin-certified. If you need the exact status of a specific dish, message us on WhatsApp before you come. We're always happy to answer.

Not on Shabbat itself. King David Burger at Ermou 78 closes on Friday before Shabbat comes in and opens again after Shabbat ends, around 21:00. King David Kosher Food at Fokionos 12 stays closed all of Saturday (Fri 10:00–19:30 · Sat closed). On weekdays the burger is open Mon–Thu 11:00–23:00.
