Akropolis Grill in Essen

Very bad food and dirty. The taste is very bad and cold and it looks like it was prepared at least a day ago.

I reserved a table for New Year's Eve through Edda's website. Nowhere did it state that the restaurant would be closed that day, and the system allowed me to select the date, including receiving a reservation confirmation by email. However, upon arrival, the restaurant was dark and closed.

Does the noise pollution have to be on a Friday during lunchtime? Extremely loud music echoes across the street, windows closed and headphones on, but I can still hear it. I know that in a city where people can only move around in cars, you have to be loud to stand out. Suggestion: start after nap time ;-)

The hygiene, the service, the staff and the customers were a complete disaster. After the visit I had extreme stomach and intestinal problems. The salmon had probably been lying there for hours. The prawns were freshly made but were burnt and fried in old oil. The staff ignore you and worry about unnecessary things. This is a main station, things have to move quickly! Customers are used to it and push EVERY TIME. It's really crazy that the staff ignore it too. And after a very long wait. Even though there are only a few customers, if you want to eat there you still have to go back in and queue again. Absolutely no system. They should solve these problems immediately with a team meeting.

From the outside, it looks rather unassuming and dated, and the crowd was moderately busy. The currywurst and fries were exactly what I wanted. The sauce was okay, just the way I like them (perhaps a bit too much for some?). The mayo wasn't a huge dollop on the fries, but on the side. The price was also very reasonable.
