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!

Als erstes einen Punkt an die Kellner. Schnell, freundlich, unauffällig. Das Ambiente griechisch,…read moreeinschließlich des Ouzos und des Joghurts als Nachtisch, dafür der zweite Punkt. Wir waren mit drei Personen da und hatten unterschiedliche Essen. Eines war allen drei Essen gemeinsam: sie waren mit einer richtig centimeterdicken Schicht von Analogkäse überbacken. Das Fleisch darunter war total versalzen, der Rest überhaupt nicht gesalzen oder irgendwie gewürzt. Ich sollte Ofenkartoffeln bekommen, es gab aber kalte Salzkartoffeln, die schon bessere Tage gesehen hatten. Alles in allem die Feststellung, so schlecht habe ich noch beim Griechen gegessen. Mehr als 20 Euro für ein wirklich schlechtes Essen ist viel zu viel. Bei euch nie wieder. Mich würde interessieren, wer euch die Bewertungen mit vier oder fünf Punkten geschrieben hat.

It has a nice greek stetting and creates a nice atmosphere. The service was really friendly, even if a bit slow. We had quite a big starter with tamaris, tzatziki and potatoes with some garlic bread. The thing was simply amazing and I would highly recommend it. After that we waited for a while, we both ordered different meat mixes. To be honest, after the great starter, the main course was ok, but nothing special. Maybe since we were so impressed by the starter, we expected sth more. Some of the meat was tender and tasty while other (i think the pork and gyros) was a bit dry. But all in all it was a really nice experience and I'm certain that we will visit again to try some other dishes.

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.
