Ventured outside the central Hamburg area just to check out this restaurant. So glad we did! The…read morestaff is super friendly and greets you with a welcome Ouzo shot (you also get following dessert). We sat outside and enjoyed the neighborhood feel and summer air. We had a Greek Rosé, which wasn't for me, but everything else was amazing. The grilled octopus starter was hands-down the best octopus I've had in a long time. It is one of my favorite dishes, so I order it often always searching for the best one. Kalliopea does it just right- super tender, but yet perfectly crisp on the outside. The appetizer with a selection of various cold starters is a nice way to sample. The sliced fried potatoes are delicious. If you want soft potatoes, the ones with the ones cooked with herbs are good, too...all around impressed by this little place!

Classic Greek! No major decorations, no shi-shi people, just quality food and heartfelt service…read more It's not often you go into a restaurant where a bunch of people hug the owner before leaving. I am sure these are the regulars but nice to see. This also isn't gourmet cooking. Its basic Greek food prepared really well. If you're looking for something fancy go elsewhere. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with a small bar right past the entrance. The menu is what you'd expect. There is a nice selection of wines and other drinks. Although I wouldn't remove any stars for this, there isn't necessarily a lot of parking in the area so you're better off biking it or taking public transport.

What I love most about the staff is that after a few visits, they started to remember my specific preferences!! I also love that the lines moves quickly, too!

After eating here twice and the restaurant next door (Falafelstern) twice, I'm not impressed by the…read moretaste of the food at Kimo, so I'd definitely recommend going next door for falafel instead. I've ordered the large falalplatter here twice, which for 5.50 euro comes with a large variety and decent quantity of food. The falafel is decent tasting, and five balls are included. There's also a basket provided with a few pieces of flat pita. Kimo does have more choices and a less fast-food feeling, but I'd still go to Falafelstern hands-down because I find the falafel and other ingredients much tastier.

Maracuja (passion fruit), orange and strawberry. Unfortunately the little fruit flies also know that they use fresh fruit in their juices, and they enjoy hanging around for a taste. Will be back, especially to try other juices.

The name Mr. Kabob gave me with the expectation of a quick fast food counter. While the food is…read morequick, it's actually a comfy and cozy cafe with take away or table service/eat in options. Large windows let in sunlight and pillows line the bench. They also have several small tables outside along the cafe. The other surprise was the size of the Donner kabob I ordered. They have bread and rolled options, I went with the bread and it was huge. The bread was soft, slightly toasted and warm. The chicken inside was really good as was the sauce, my only real complaint was wanting more sauce, more evenly distributed. They also use a cabbage mix for the veggies, while my personnel presence is just lettuce along with the tomato and cucumber. Good price, good food, friendly staff.

CASA FRANCO FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I came here twice with the company I was working for. Since my boss always paid for everything. BUT I'M SURE IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE :D I think if I'd know the prices, I would pretty much give it ZERO stars hahahah. kidding :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, what we always got was: HUGE SCAMPIES ROASTET IN OIL + ALCOHOL served in huge flames A PLATE WITH DIFFERENT FISH FILETS + a unique secret sauce made by Franco STEAK, small peaces of steak with different sauces. and more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honestly I don't remember it all but I know you get a lot, and all the seafood you get are really really delicious. I remember I dropped the whole steak I picked it up and still ate it, that's how good it was. But I was drunk anyways haha. LOCATION: Very very small, I guess about 20 people max. It's great, because it gives you a nice familiar cozy atmosphere. If you have the money and wanna do yourself somethiing good. Come here.

For 27 euros you get a four-course meal complete with a flaming scallop starter, fish, more fish, and a delicious dessert. Mmm. The owner of the restaurant is fantastic. He's so attentive to his customers and makes a huge effort to entertain the entire restaurant. We got several free shots of alcohol and the entire restaurant toasts together. The atmosphere is cozy, festive, and lively. There was even a traditional guitar singer that serenaded us twice in the night. My favorite part of my four course meal was the parrot fish and the crème brûlée-like dessert. I'm not sure what it was, but it was GOOD. We also ordered a bottle of wine, which was 22 euros a bottle. I'd say the style of the food was Portuguese fusion. The fun part is that the chef decides what you will eat so you don't have to order your food. The fish that he served us was extremely fresh. I think this is a great place to go with some friends or to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday. At the end of the meal, the owner also gives the ladies a single rose. :) Four solid stars for the food, and 7 stars for the service. I'll most likely be back!

New owner. We were invited there by a family member to…read morecelebrate a birthday. We were excited to give them a try as we had many wonderful memories there with the old owners: my daughter's first birthday was held there for example. my now 2 year old daughter wanted to walk around the restaurant. I accompanied her. But the moment she became restless, I moved her with me at the back at the restaurant were our family members were situated. Normally, a toy or a cellphone is enough to distract her, but not today. After 5 minutes of struggles, a waiter (maybe the owner) approach me. He told me to bring my daughter outside for some fresh air. Initially, I think it was a brilliant suggestion even if it was zero degree outside. But he continued to rant that we are disrupting other customers and that "das kann nicht sein. Dies ist ein Restaurant". It was then I realize we just got thrown out. My daughter & I did left, my husband went back to have a word with him. He became apologetic & said this is not what he meant. Personally, even if the place is sentimental to me, I will NOT go back. And I highly do NOT recommend this place for families with toddlers or babies. One star because I cannot give them a negative one rating.
