Reserve Ahead. Book ahead, especially if you want the garden or outdoor terrace; one group needed several attempts to secure a table.
Visit Daytime. Go during the day if you want to appreciate the interiors; evenings suit a dim-lit dinner instead.
Share Starters. Order dips and starters for the table: portions were described as suitable for sharing, even with smaller appetites.
Allow Extra Time. If conversation matters, choose your table carefully or avoid peak noise; one diner found the music too loud.
Check Directions. Leave extra time for arrival and verify the entrance, as navigation may send you to the service delivery area.
Try Dessert. Save room for the chocolate tart or Portokalopita; desserts were among the most memorable parts of several meals.

Some diners felt the pricing was high for the quality, with one bill exceeding 500 AED per guest.
Service is not uniformly consistent: one repeat diner described it as dependent on the server.
One diner found the moussaka insufficiently warm, while others felt recent dishes were less refined than before.
The restaurant can be loud, and close indoor tables may make conversation or intimate dining harder.
Finding the venue and parking can be difficult around City Walk, with sat-nav reportedly directing drivers to service access.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Mythos Urban Greek Eatery is a Greek restaurant in Al Wasl built around shareable plates, polished modern design and a leafy outdoor setting. Start with tzatziki and melitzanosalata with warm pita, then consider grilled calamari, moussaka or lamb pilafi. The menu suits a relaxed meal with friends, a date or a family gathering, although the children’s selection may feel limited.
The setting is one of the clearest reasons to come. Reviewers mention a garden-like terrace, an open kitchen and outdoor cooling that makes warmer-weather dining more comfortable. During the day, the interiors are easier to appreciate; at night, the mood becomes dimmer and more dinner-focused.
Reserve ahead if you have your heart set on outdoor seating, as tables can fill quickly. Food feedback is mostly strong, particularly for seafood, dips, Greek salads and desserts such as the chocolate tart. Still, experiences are not perfectly uniform: one moussaka arrived insufficiently warm, some diners found dishes salty or less refined, and service has occasionally depended on the server.
Pricing also divides opinion, with one guest reporting a bill above 500 AED per person. City Walk parking and signage can be confusing, so check directions before arriving.
