The place has plenty of parking so driving here is no trouble at all! The decor is insane in a great way, it made me feel like I knew a little bit of Greece just by coming in here and experiencing the vibes of the decor. The staff is amazing and super friendly! They speak great English and communication was very easy and pleasant. Cappuccino- the drink serving size is pretty good and the flavour is pretty nice as well. Once you order they bring you a little basket with freshly toasted bread and a pretty yummy dip. STUFFED MUSHROOM- this is a very good snack before the meal, the amount is good for sharing and the taste was pretty dreamy. The meal came with a house salad that had a pretty interesting and delicious dressing. LAMB IN METAXA SAUCE- I cannot say I liked this dish, but I think it is not the dishes fault, I think that I was not a fan of the way lamb is made in the greek style. I felt it was a bit too slaty for me but the friend I was with got the same dish and she loved it. I really liked that the dish came with a nice tasting sauce and plenty cheese. FRENSH FRIES- the fries here were pretty good, but keep in mind if you like condiments ask for them right away as it is not customary here in this country to serve any meals with condiments. After the meal the owner gave us complementary desert and a couple of aperitif shots and I thought that was very nice of him. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommend! I really enjoyed eating here on the patio when the weather was nice. It was great enjoying the live music and cold beer. The food we got was delish. The owner would consistently come around with these shooters that taste like black licorice, it's a digestive apparently. I'm not a big fan of black licorice so I would normally turn them down, but my husband has them! Looking forward to enjoying the patio again when the weather is nicer!

Salad served with every meal

From the moment we walked in until we left, we felt like part of the family! We were greeted warmly, served DELICIOUS food, and the owner even brought some shots of ouzo out of the blue. The meals are served with a small side salad, a cup of yummy avgolemono soup, and warm bread with some kind of deliciously spicy spread. This is the best Greek Food I've had in Germany yet. Everything was very reasonably priced. WARNING: CASH ONLY! The ambiance is very cute and warm, and they have outside seating. We showed up about 30 minute before closing, and they were pretty full, and by the time we left and hour later they were even busier. However we were sat right away and the service was fast and friendly.

I haven't felt like "part of the family" from restaurant service in a long while, but Metaxa's got it! I wasn't sure what to expect from the place, but I loved the vibe they had. Both their indoor and outdoor seating was pleasant. You won't regret getting their stuffed mushrooms; they are a significant portion (we split between two), but do it! I ordered their lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection. The meet was very tender, and retained much of its juice. The tzatziki was light and refreshing accompanied with their fries. The owner was our server; he was gracious and knowledgeable. He gave great recommendations, pleasant conversation with what seemed like every table, and brought out liqueur for the guests after their meals, which was thoughtful. A wonderful dining experience!

I have been in Germany for almost a year & this is still, by far, my favorite place to eat! The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy & the owner is wonderful. This place is a must and you won't be disappointed!

No complaints here!…read more I came to this restaurant for one of my last meals in Kaiserslautern before I return to the US. It is conveniently located a nine minute walk from the Hampton Inn where I was staying. I did not have a reservation but was seated immediately. They had a nice dry red wine that paired nicely with my meal. I had a hard time deciding because they have a lot of options. I ultimately decided on the Athenteller. It was fantastic! Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious! It was a giant portion and appropriately priced. The service was excellent and the overall experience was very good. I will warn you, though, it is a CASH ONLY experience so be sure to bring lots of euros when you stop by!

My party of 5 enjoyed eating here on a Sunday night. The service was relaxed, and the employee let…read moreus take our time. My husband ordered the gyro with Madagascar sauce, I got the gyro with zaziki sauce, someone else got the chicken schnitzel with brown gravy, and the others got similar dishes. I've never really eaten Greek food before, but it was good. The meals came with salads (lettuce, onion, cabbage, whole pepper, olive topped with what I would describe as a coleslaw dressing). One party member asked for bread with their salad and was given a small basket with 5 slices of fresh bread. I got a coke, as did 2 others (they both had a second soda), and the final 2 each had 2 Pilsners. At the end of the meal Ouzo was offered. They took American Express....and the bill for 5 people was $106 euros, which for the amount of food we received, was a great price!

Restaurant Poseidon - Auf Empfehlung des Hauses: Lammkeule mit Kartoffeln und grünen Bohnen nach traditioneller Art! Unbedingt probieren!

Stopped here by chance since we passed by it on our way back home. It is a beautiful restaurant…read morewith a picturesque view behind it. The restaurant is very busy, which is always a good sign. The staff is friendly, but keep in mind they are trying to serve everyone, so your order may take longer. We ordered a variety of dishes because we were starving. Ordered the stuff mushrooms, over baked shrimp, tatziki, pork soluvaki, and pita bread. Everything came out piping hit and delicious. The portions are very generous. We had to take the rest with us. Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely come back again.

Most amazing place. My first experience with this place was…read moreover 20 years ago when my family was stationed here with the military. Jump to 2017 when my partner told me we would be coming to Germany to revisit this town. Well the only thing I had on my mind was the "Greek Restaurant" (I couldn't remember the name.) When we showed up one of the staff in formed me that the original had burned down and the new location was built. Well that night was my first experience dinning here again since a child, an WOW the staff along with the meals were amazing. Fast forward to this evening. 11/24/19 Again we are back the only difference is we brought my mother. *****Again I can't express how amazing this place is.***** We didn't have a reservation nor did we call to check if they could even seat us. We walk in are greeted with such a warm welcome by the man behind the bar. Then this lovely young lady ask's how many of us and finds a place for us. We ordered a Gyro plate , the braised lamb shank with eggplant and the musacka plate. All of it was great. The atmosphere perfect. I hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy this place again in my life time.
