After a long day of touring and shopping in Berlin we stumbled across Asteria and decided to give…read moreit a try based on the positive reviews. We arrived at 6/18:00 and took an outside table. The place was empty but we reminded ourselves that dinner starts a bit later here. We were greeted with a complimentary Ouzo shot (which continued to be refilled) & started with the Tarama. The dip came in 4 scoops and was pink. Although I've never seen pink Tarama, It wasn't the best Tarama that I've ever had and was okay. (But wouldn't order this one again) We also ordered Spanakopita which we enjoyed. For main, we had the "grilled meat for one"which was excellent (tasty grilled chicken, pork & Gyros!) but is really "Grilled meat for 2 or 3." We ended up sharing this which was a good idea as we couldn't finish it. After dinner, we received complimentary Cognac, espresso and dessert (fruit, yogurt) which was a nice touch and the restaurant was packed by the end of our meal. Overall, great service, food and atmosphere!

We went again to try more dishes. Food wise I'd rate Asteria 3 stars due to the price-value ratio…read more(rating is purely based on vegetarian and fish options). The salmon was very oily but tasty. Not special in any way, simply grilled. Overall the dishes are large and greasy and heavy. 90% of the people here eat meat. The mussels appetizer we didn't really enjoy (personal preference). The appetizer plate allowed us to taste a bit from everything. What's good are the grilled eggplants and the white creamy dip (not tzaziki). Besides that I'd also recommend to skip the plate, everything else was ok. Why would I still give 4 stars? - The Service is very thoughtful! You get free shots and if you don't drink them, they have us espresso for free. You get fruits at the end. Just overall asteria seems to care about the experience their customers are having!

The servers are very attentive (and some, quite attractive;-) I never experienced a long wait and everybody is treated like family. At the end of your stay they even send you home with a little something on the house (coffee,ouzo,whatever you like)...

The staff, even if sometimes a bit slow, is really friendly and always makes good suggestions and tell you what is on offer that day. The place is cozy and the atmosphere is the place is really friendly and it's almost always full. But it is of course the good food, we always come for. They have really good starters, we especially enjoy the taramas which is delicious. Pretty much all the main dishes we have tried so far were great. The meat is always fresh and really tender, fish was also always really tasty, the moussaka is really good, etc. In general we really enjoy returning here every time and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys greek cuisine.

As I don't speak German except for a few words it's nice when the restaurant staff can speak English. Well this place they don't really speak English so you got to have an idea about Greek food. They did have English menus. I was able to communicate a bit with help of the next table explaining if I wanted fried or steamed potatoes etc. I ordered the gyro with that tk???? Sauce forgot the spelling with a salad and French Fries. "They don't have pita bread I asked so I ended up with that bread they use for donor kabob places it's triangle and toasted I made a sandwich cause my dish came with just meat and fries. They do have a large menu but I didn't quite know what to order "next time I'll try something else" Anyway the owner lady "mama Greece"gave me a free shot of Greek liquor that kinda looks and tastes like vodka anyway after my meal they gave me another one for free again so good looking out mama Greece! The place is cozy and there is free wifi It's like I'm in Greece but really not. I'm Actually I'm cold rainy Berlin ;) I attached some pics on my table view and food

A family-run Greek restaurant which has received a makeover a while ago. Great for nibbles, snacks,…read moreor a large platter of grilled meats! The homemade fries are worth a special mention and so is the honey and walnut yogurt. The backroom can be hired for special functions. It used to be quite grim, which is no longer the case. The interior is still rather classic but not as conservative anymore, it is a bit more polished and colourful. Debit cards are accepted, and the managers just as friendly as they were ten years ago. Can be a bit busy and slow at times, and it isn't quite as cheap as it was in the past, but highly recommended. A place that delivers consistent quality and hasn't lost its appeal and character in recent years.
