They treated me to a glass of ouzo on arrival which was very appreciated on a cold winter night. I ordered several mezes which were all great. All wrapped up by very tasty retzina. A great find!

This was the highpoint of our Halle trip. The food there is absolutely amazing. For sure go for the…read morelamb shank, it's just melts in the mouth. If you pair it with a medium sweet Greek wine, then you have a fantastic combination. End your evening with a traditional Greek dessert and you have a perfect evening.

A variety of Greek and German fare that I only remember being delicious. The woman running the place was very friendly and I was able to help translate. If you are American, or an English speaker, please bring someone who speaks German. Also understand that they want you to enjoy your time and meal in Germany, so it might take a little longer for you to get your check.
