A family-run Greek restaurant which has received a makeover a while ago. Great for nibbles, snacks,…read moreor a large platter of grilled meats! 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.

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!

A random night out turned fantastic…read more We had no expectations coming here as it was chosen based on convenience of the location. 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.

We certainly…read morewouldn't, but that's exactly what we discovered at this charming little restaurant near the old Tempelhof airfield. 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. Every dish was superb, and had that 'cooked for hours and hours' taste that you usually only find on Greek holidays. Yes it's a bit of a trek (Hermannstrasse station is a 15 minute walk away)... but well worth the effort!

A quiet little place on the quiet side of Reuterplatz. The crowd won't be as hip as on…read moreFriedelstraße or at Nansen up the way, but if you're coming for the food, and not for the scene, you won't be disappointed. The restaurant is owned by a lovely Greek couple, and the menu is primarily Greek traditional, with a good assortment of vegetarian, fish (try whatever is the special), and meat dishes, and a nice selection of mezes (try the telle). Wine is Greek regional and well-priced; ouzo is, of course, complimentary. The dining room is somehow understated but charming, perfect for a date or a pleasant meal with friends. Service is excellent. They don't have a webpage, but they have a Facebook page with the name "Restobar A'lu" that has live music announcements and a menu. If A'lu had a lunch menu (someone correct me if it does!) I would eat there constantly. Then again, would I really want to rush through a meal there? A'lu is a place to be enjoyed, savored at a slower pace.

Who could be so shameless to ever put a dish like this on a menu? You wouldn't even serve this to your guests at home! Such a rip-off! I've never felt so disappointed having dinner anywhere in the world. What pisses me off even more is that they tried real hard to shut me up and to justify it with their BS: "no one would expect fresh seafood in Berlin", "frozen veggies are actually more healthy".. Reading the response from them to a similar complaint just reminds me of how ridiculous it was to listen to their excuses. I doubt that all the 5-star-reviews are given by their friends.
