Athena - Table reservation

The restaurant is located on the lively Ulzburger Straße, parking in this area is usually shortware. After 20:00 you can use the parking lot of the opposite food market. At the entrance I was greeted only by the operator pair standing behind the counter, they spoke with a group of guests at the table directly at the window. Then the boss asked me: “1 person?” and when I nodded “You have free choice!”. Then I looked for a free table and took place. Prompt came the boss, gave me the menu and illuminated the candle on the table. The offer also reads like many other Greek restaurants, but is somewhat unstructured. For example, there are mixed plates for one or two persons in front of the grill dishes. The differences to other restaurants are then in detail: there is no frequent compilation of supplements with frits and rice in many places, there are either rice or potatoes as a supplement. I ordered the “Parga Plate, Gyros, Souflaki and Hacksteak, with mixed salad and rice or potatoes” (11,00 €). In the question of what it is for potatoes, I did not receive such clear information, it was clear that it was not for fries. So I ordered the potatoes as a supplement and as a drink a special. It was also brought quite fast, as usual, without questioning in the large version (0.4l for 2.90 €. Even without asking if I like it, an ouzo was placed next to it. The establishment of the restaurant is mixed by different styles, the treses in the style of a Greek temple contrasts clearly (artificially? Shelves on the side wall and the partition walls formed with bumpers on the backrests of the benches. At a table in the entrance there were chairs with carved back, at the table right next to the counter stood modern, fully padded chairs with brown synthetic leather cover. However, the tables were evenly covered with pink fabric tablecloths and white coverings, followed by the already mentioned candle in the metal lamp, a small pot flower, salt shaker and pepper shaker and a plastic holder with beer lids. On the walls there were various pictures with Mediterranean motifs, the background music was pleasantly calm. The restaurant was only moderately occupied during my stay and a little more filled. After a few minutes the salad was served as an appetizer, it usually consisted of white spice and iceberg salad, which had been poured over with yogurt dress, which was certainly not touched on itself. There was a slice of sheep cheese, along with a cucumber slice, a tomato quarter, an olive and a peperoni. But the salad was good. The empty salad plate was cleaned and the main course was served shortly afterwards. On the plate I found a Gauner Gyros, a very well-stocked spear and a quite remarkable Chiffel Steak, with a Klecks Tsatsiki on a salad leaf and a few potatoes. They seemed rough and then fried on the piece, a kind of preparation I had never seen before. The Tsatsiki was clearly cuddly and not very creamy, stirred with herbs, but only with hardly any taste garlic note. On the spit were not the otherwise usual thin pieces of pork neck, but I found four pieces of pork fillet pressed together. The meat was very delicate and juicy and strongly seasoned with red pepper. Even the paprika tasted only after pepper, I had lacked the usual Greek spicy notes. Otherwise the meat was nicely loose and also tasted good, but not as expected. Also in Gyros, which was really good quality, the typical herbs were missing, even here taste good, but not as usual. Conclusion: Pregnant. On the one hand, very good and well cooked meat at a reasonable price, on the other hand, the wort and the strange type of potato preparation, the whole in an ambience mixed over the styles – this visit has not convinced me.

Large small restaurant, from outside unobtrusively furnished with plenty of taste, flooded with light, simply super. Operation beautiful and attentive. Eat tasty and react. Brate meat to the point and uncooked vegetables. Good kitchen. Rich selection. I can only recommend. Mixed feed plate and lamb plate were very satisfied.
