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!

Shh, don't tell Mr. Döner that I was cheating on him with Mr. Gyros! Very Greek feel. Nice large…read morestack of meat pieces on the spit, not the ground meat stuff. Gyros in Pita-Brot XXL: Loved the crispy thin shavings of meat. A very good portion of that. Lots of tzatziki sauce, which honestly I like more than döner sauces.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. The restaurant was tucked away between apartment buildings and just off the main road so the dinning was very quiet. We tried their soup and salad as well as these fried pockets of cheese with tatziki dipping sauce, they were all very good.
