This spectacularly located, wonderfully set Greek eatery is the perfect establishment to spending an evening with your SO or enjoy a meal with a friend. Through the candle light you can read the menu and salivate over any number of the Taverne's mouthwatering entrees and appetizers. While I pondered seemingly forever over the options, I eventually settled on souvlaki with gyros in tzatziki sauce with a side of roasted Greek potatoes. If such a meal is possible in this mortal world of ours, I don't need to experience a meal in Heaven. To accompany my meal I went with a refreshing pint of the banana hefeweizen. Definitely recommended. After the meal, do yourself a favor and don't skimp on the desert. The chocolate lava soufflé with ice cream will send you off right. The staff is superb and efficient so be sure to tip generously as you take your leave and dream of the next occasion you have to frequent this glorious place!

They give you bread for the table which was delicious! I wasn't super hungry so I ordered veggie soup with a side of garlic bread. My friend ordered the lamb. Both were phenomenal. I'm not a huge lamb person but she said it was good. I would 100% go and get this soup again. With the bread it was about 14€ or so. Totally worth it. This is the perfect place for a date- the tables all have candles and the dining ware is very fancy. I liked it a lot. Would absolutely go back.

The menu selection is extensive with daily specials to boot. Dinner portions are generous and in the 10 to 13 EUR range. Service is a little slow at times, as there were only two servers, both had their hands full, running around as quickly as they could. I ordered the grilled calamari, which comes with a side of rice and steamed veggies. I substituted my rice with a side salad. The calamari were tender and not greasy, although I would have preferred more grill marks. The veggies were surprisingly al dente, albeit the typical previously frozen mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. I was relieved to find my vegetables were neither overcooked nor drowned in butter, as is so often the case in Germany. Dad ordered a pork braised in a red sauce with potatoes, which he enjoyed. The pork was tender and the sauce had an almost Moroccan spice mix of cinnamon and paprika. The traditional Greek salad is $8 and large for European standards, but too small as an entree by itself. Desserts are not very Greek, think roasted apples with walnuts and honey, or chocolate souffle. An entire menu is dedicated to ice cream sundaes, if banana splits and the like are your thing. I went Greek with Galaktoboureko, served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It was delicious, but the puff pastry to custard ratio seemed a bit off. I would have liked a little more custard, and the custard was firmer than I am used to. Different but enjoyed it very much. Free Ouzo shots before you hit the road, a nice gesture. I highly recommend this place, it is worth a trip on the S-Bahn and conveniently located right next to the Gruenau station.

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.

The service was good, for context we had about 15 people in our group so any shortcomings of the wait staff can be waived in my opinion. Though we ordered water multiple times, specifying we wanted still water, and were brought sparkling water. Anyway. I ordered a gyro with fries and it came with tzatziki sauce which was very good. The fries and sauce were good but the meat was super mediocre in my opinion. The appetizers were good but I only tried the seasoned bread. We were seated outside and were able to look out to the river and that was really really nice. A lot of people in my party ordered ice cream at the end of the meal and it looked divine so maybe that's something I need to try next time.

However, we were treated well starting from the reservation and until we left the restaurant. Extremely friendly and pleasing. Now to the food. We had the mix cold and warm entree, which had a large selection of both and was quite good. We took a looong time going through it slowly with a bottle of wine and wasn't pushed to hurry up. We then had the special of the day, which was grilled Dorado with sides and a mix grill. Both super delicious! The carafe of Greek white wines were well matched. In general we were offered a very professional yet relaxed service and were made welcome. The food lived up to our expectations and so did the ambient.

Impressed by the variety of dishes on the menu, my girlfriend and I enjoyed a full 3-course dinner with plenty of wine for less than 45 euros.

Yes it's a bit of a trek (Hermannstrasse station is a 15 minute walk away)... but well worth the effort!
