Athen in Unna

Great renovation! The food was as good and plentiful as always. Service was good, as always, but sometimes a bit hectic...be sure to make a reservation in advance - it's almost always packed...always happy to come back.

The best Greek restaurant in the area. In addition to the classic Greek grilled dishes, the meze (small appetizers) are especially recommended. When the weather is nice, the large beer garden is also a great place to sit. The service is also super friendly. We'd love to come back.

Update: Another visit on July 9, 2025, this time in the beer garden. And again 5 stars, everything was perfect. The food was once again a pure delight. Efcharisto! Dinner with two people. Excellent contact beforehand. Very friendly and attentive service. Plenty of food and, above all, delicious. A good selection on the menu, including dishes that deviate from the usual gyros. Excellent! We had bread with dips and ouzo beforehand. At the end, we were very satisfied and more than full. Thanks to the team and all the best!

Our favorite Greek restaurant. We enjoy going there and have been trying different dishes every now and then for some time now. So far, there have only been pleasant surprises. Update from July 9, 2025 We've been planning to come back here for a while. And it was worth it. The food arrived exactly as it should and quickly. Everything was very tasty and plentiful. The service was first-class, friendly, and cheerful. Furthermore, the renovation has really added a lot of charm and elevated the restaurant to another level. The price has been repeatedly criticized here. I think I was happy to pay the asking price for what was offered; it was definitely worth it. Poly Oreo, efharisto.

I'm not a big fan of Greek food, but the menu at this restaurant is simply different than usual! The appetizers, in particular, are truly amazing and unusual for a Greek restaurant. The service was excellent; very friendly and quick! I definitely recommend this restaurant!

The reserved table wasn't available at the booked time. It was very crowded, both inside and out. It was unbearably hot inside later on. The food was good: grilled salmon with vegetables and rosemary potatoes! The garlic bread was highly recommended, a Greek bruschetta, so to speak. The Greek sangria was also delicious. There were 10 of us, and everyone got their food at the same time! The young, friendly, and funny staff. Highly recommended.

Absolutely top - especially the dishes on the weekly menu are always an experience, keep it up ;)

Was there with friends, food was very good, staff were very friendly and accommodating, food was very tasty!!!!!!!!

The food used to be better. The renovations took away the charm of the restaurant.

Definitely the best Greek restaurant in the area.

Great ambience, excellent wine selection by the glass.

Inconspicuous from the outside, but top from the inside

Top-notch. Great service with delicious food.

Great service, delicious food. Thank you!👍

This is the best Greek restaurant I've ever been to. The food is so amazing. The restaurant has been remodeled and looks fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly.

If I could give more stars, it would be far more than just 5!!! Fantastic food, very friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Maybe a bit loud for some people at times, but absolutely fine for us. :) We highly recommend the restaurant and would love to come back!! :)

Beautifully renovated, good, plentiful food, and friendly, attentive service.

Always lovely here. Beautifully renovated. Service is always friendly. The feta with honey and feta is a dream. 🥰 We'd love to come back.

The food was okay but cold, and the drinks were expensive. But I'd go again.

I love it there ☺️ It's simply wonderful that they offer so many meze (Greek appetizers). Even as a vegetarian 🌱, I always find more than enough here. There's a nice place to sit both inside and outside in the beer garden. I like to meet up here with friends or family, and we have a sharing dinner where all the dishes are simply placed in the middle of the table and everyone helps themselves.

A relatively spacious Greek restaurant (with an attached bowling alley) in the heart of Unna-Uelzen, with a cozy, lively atmosphere. Recently modernly furnished and decorated, the dining room is well-lit and tastefully presented. Restaurant Akropolis has long been a crowd-puller, attracting customers through generous portions of the dishes and the exceptional, very engaging friendliness of the service staff and the owner family. The dishes on the compact but varied daily menu (although not all of them are always available) deserve special mention, as do the excellent Mediterranean appetizers. The dishes are rarely too salty; the prices are somewhat on the higher end of the regional market. A place that's always a pleasure to visit!

Order the fries here, they're delicious! We were here today and both the food and the service were top-notch!

Waiter with a ponytail is the GOAT

A highly recommended restaurant. Friendly and fast service. Great food. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent value for money.

For us, this is the best Greek restaurant in Unna. A large selection of mezze and main courses. A beautiful terrace, friendly and attentive service. We'll be happy to return.

A really great Greek restaurant, very nice, modern with a feel-good atmosphere, very good food, very good staff, attentive, very friendly and fast

Very cozy restaurant and very friendly staff.

The best Greek of all! The restaurant in Unna is beautiful and the food is unique (cheese balls and kritikes patates with bifteki are a DREAM).

The gyro was tasty, but almost a little too dry. The Suflaki was a poem and the Greek fries, very good. The tzatziki could have had more steam and spice. The pepperoni is tasty but not spicy. Another highlight is the delicious Greek lemonade. The service is attentive, sometimes perhaps a little too much. All in all, it wasn't the last time we were here, we can easily recommend it. Finally, respect for what the kitchen had to do during our time.

You immediately notice that you've hit the jackpot: the staff are friendly even when they're at full capacity and ensure smooth and warm service. Despite the location in a residential area in the suburbs of Unna, the indoor and outdoor areas were almost completely occupied. The portions are large, even after a day of hiking and being hungry, we would be perfectly full with our teenage gluttons. The fillets of all kinds and especially the liver were fantastically tender - but the salads are also impressive. The hygiene in the sanitary area is also top. Absolute recommendation from me, coming here is a real hit!!!

Highly recommended! Great service and the food was delicious!

The service was nice. During the “greetings from the kitchen” we were not told what was in the dips. The tzatziki didn't taste like "homemade", rather artificial. You're used to something different from your vacation in Greece. The dressing in the salad tasted very much like “ready dressing” and the chicken breast in the salad tasted like industrial production (pressed meat). Conclusion: although the restaurant is well rated, we were disappointed with our visit.

I've eaten Greek before, but rarely here. The atmosphere is perfect, the team is super nice – and above all, the selection and quality of the food really impressed me. The meat was really juicy and the portions were more than decent. Our plate for three would have easily fed four people. I'll definitely come back. My highlight, the beer mugs come out of the refrigerator and are frozen ice cold 🍻

Price performance top! Nice staff, nice owners. We are here once a month, a must! Even in these difficult times, everything is going as planned here. The Corona rules are strictly adhered to and implemented. Great and they worked on the acoustics great, keep it up If the review helped, please give it a thumbs up... June 10, 2022 Everything is still great, absolutely recommended. And if you don't like something, speak to customer service and it will be taken care of promptly. Dinner for the 45th with the family. Great, as always! October 31, 2024 Well, what can I say, it's still our favorite restaurant and after the successful renovation we'd love to go back there even more.

Very tasty food, very nice service, very nice location. Highly recommended!!!

very hospitable and generous. Food pretty good too.

Fast service, price performance is simply top and everyone is on their toes. Love coming here.

Very friendly staff and you can eat well there

Great service, very attentive staff, responded promptly, but unfortunately very loud, unfortunately we only had two hours for the food

I followed a recommendation... but it was worth it! This is the first Greek restaurant that will see me again. Incredible selection, light food included! Everything was delicious and I have to go back so I can eat up and down the menu.

Very good food, fast service. Unfortunately a bit tight.

Paid a completely exorbitant price for a portion of gyros with fries (€17.90)! No salad! The taste wasn't anything special, just average.

After the renovation, another increase. The service, friendliness, cleanliness, selection and quality of the food are unsurpassable. Absolutely top!!! The ambience is modern and stylish. And the new ventilation system is awesome. No smell of food in clothes. I would give more stars if it were possible. Keep it up!!! We would love to come back!!!

We've been to the restaurant several times over the last few months. There is no other Greek restaurant nearby at this level. There are currently no criticisms that could affect the dining experience. The service is also excellent. The ambience invites you to feel good, even if the "German eye" notices a few little things here and there. All in all, highly recommended.

We had dinner at your restaurant today with a friend on his birthday. For this special occasion we had reserved a table for twelve people and were aware that this table would be available for two hours. Unfortunately, the evening was anything but pleasant. Even the start was disappointing: it took an unusually long time for anyone to come to our table and take the order - for both the starters and the main courses. When the starters were served, they were missing for three people, even though we had all ordered one. There were also problems with the main courses. The wait was long and my dish was even completely forgotten. While everyone else was already eating, I had to keep waiting. My food finally arrived about five minutes before the end of the reserved time - possibly because there were a lot of takeaway orders being processed at the same time. About ten minutes before the reserved time was up, we ordered coffee and espresso because we knew we should leave soon. At this point I had only just started my meal. Then came the most unpleasant part of the evening: the waitress asked us in a sharp and unfriendly tone to clear the table because the next guests were about to arrive. My friend, who was celebrating his birthday, politely pointed out that my food had just arrived and asked where I should eat. The waitress then replied in a very inappropriate tone whether he would speak like that to his wife at home. We have never encountered such disrespectful and condescending behavior in a restaurant. Although the omissions and delays were clearly not our fault, all responsibility was shifted to us. Of course the bill was paid in full - my friend took over. We left the restaurant disappointed, I left my food behind. The evening, which was supposed to be nice, was massively marred by the way we were treated. One thing is certain for us: we will not visit the restaurant again.

Yes, the restaurant is great the staff was great👍👍👍👍👍👍

We went there on a Thursday evening, right from the opening at 5 p.m. There were already people waiting, and it was already busy. We were there for about 2.5 hours, and it was consistently busy. I therefore recommend making a reservation in advance, especially if you have a large group. The menu alone raised high expectations. Very nicely designed with Greek names and lovely sayings. Without saying anything, we were immediately served slices of bread with three different sauces: a herb dip, a garlic dip, and a curry dip. All three were perfectly to my taste. We shared a small appetizer: fried potato slices in a white sauce, very excellent, all flambéed together. For the main course, I had pork medallions on a skewer with spicy Mykonos sauce and a side of fries. The fries were interesting; they were curved, fried potato slices. Very tasty. The Mykonos sauce was described as slightly spicy, and it certainly lived up to that. If the spiciness makes your nose run, I'm very satisfied :D The meat was a bit tough to cut and could have taken a bit longer, but perhaps that's how it's eaten in Greece, and my personal taste is different. However, the meat tasted excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant and will be back with my wife soon. My only criticism: We had a nice seat in a separate area at the back left. There are many tables in the middle, some of which are separated by a partition. I wouldn't want to sit there, especially when the restaurant is busy. I can well imagine it being very noisy with people sitting all around you. I can understand the economic rationale behind it, but it does come at the expense of the ambience.

Always worth a visit! A slightly different Greek cuisine where there is more than just typical gyros. Just great :) Even during the week you should reserve in advance, which works great online!

Reserve! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Even though everything was full, food/drinks came promptly and at our pace. Absolutely recommended. Excellent in taste.

Super delicious food! The staff is always friendly and welcoming <3 The ambiance has been super nice since the renovation. We always enjoy coming back.

After what feels like 100 visits, it's about time for a review. There is no Greek anywhere at this level. - The pleasant and familiar atmosphere among the staff - the food is of great quality - the fancy shop There's really nothing wrong with it. We have been regular guests for 2 years and will continue to be so in the future. Thank you for your good work and the quality we have here. Something very special. Until the days!

The best Greek I know! I'm still grateful to my work colleague for this tip! There's nothing more to say! Simply delicious

A great restaurant for anyone who loves Greek cuisine. The food is very tasty, good and extensive selection of Greek dishes. The whole thing in a nice atmosphere with the well-known Greek friendliness in the service. We'll definitely be back.

Great service and fantastic food. Highly recommended!

The best Greek in Unna for years. Now in its second generation and still outstanding. The devil's skewer is also highly recommended.

I found it really tasty again and I will come back. Employees are always very nice and listen to all your wishes.

Food tastes very good. You are asked to leave after 2 hours. The next guests are already here. That takes away the comfort. Unfortunately, I didn't know that you only have 2 hours to eat on the weekend. We'll be visiting you this week soon. Best regards Andreas Schmidt

Went there for the first time yesterday. Food and service tip top. Authentically Greek. Great beer garden Everything invites you to linger 👌💪🇬🇷👍🏼

It was my first time eating there That was just great. Very good food, great service And very nice ambience

I recently went to the Acropolis for the first time with a friend. What was appealing to us was that they had given the restaurant a new design and the dishes were traditional and yet somehow “reinvented”. The restaurant is very different from many other Greek restaurants and I find it unique. We would definitely come back, especially since they also have a bowling alley and that offers a good opportunity to have a great stay with family and friends.

Food very good Fresh, delicious fish on Fridays

Since the renovation, the restaurant has become more modern and at the same time more comfortable. The food is still great.

Great ambience, Very friendly staff, The dishes were all fresh, well seasoned and in sufficient quantity. The prices are high but reasonable for the quality you get there. (E.g. gyros not greasy, chicken still juicy, bifetiki well grilled, etc.) The homemade "fries" were a surprise and highly recommended. Gladly again.

Great restaurant where you feel warmly welcome. Food and all the staff 10 plus. I can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you for the lovely evening…… we will definitely be back 💙💙💙

Can only be recommended. Thumbs up.

Really good food and warm and very attentive service!

Very tasty food and a great selection. Super nice service, very attentive and jokes here and there. Incredibly beautiful facility. We'd love to come back!

The food is very tasty and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The waitresses are nice and try hard. But one thing is a mystery to me and gave the evening a bad aftertaste. We reserved a table for 2 at 5:30 p.m. According to my reservation confirmation (e-mail), the table was available for 2 (!) hours. While we wanted to choose a dessert, the boss urged us to pay and leave the restaurant because the next guests were already waiting for their table. At this point it was 7 p.m. Anyone who believes the reservation confirmation knows that we were entitled to another 30 minutes. When I asked how that could be, the boss was at a loss and couldn't give a reasonable answer (supposedly something would be different online). I understand that you only have a limited amount of time when the restaurant is fully booked. However, you should stick to the times and not make reservations that you cannot/do not want to stick to.

In short, everything is great 👍

I can highly recommend it. The food is delicious and the service is really great.

Unfortunately, this restaurant cannot handle negative criticism. You always want to look good. Unfortunately, this restaurant or the food is NOT perfect.

We were there on a Monday evening and thought there would definitely be a free table. But all tables were occupied - a good sign. After a short wait we had a seat. The starter was very tasty and the main courses were also tasty. We were particularly impressed by the good service and the taste and will definitely come back.

I have rarely experienced such nice staff! The starters came super quickly, were lovingly prepared and very tasty. The meat in the main course was very tender and the homemade fries were brilliant. The restaurant is very modern and attractively decorated. We felt very comfortable, recommend you and would be happy to come back. LG from Lünen

The restaurant is very busy and reservations make sense. The menu is very extensive and offers something for everyone. There is also a weekly menu. The quality and taste are very good. Waiting times are possible. The restaurant has many tables in the area and the distance to the neighboring table is not too great

Very tasty food and nice service. However, there are slightly longer waiting times when ordering your first drink. But that was probably because it was quite full. The benches for sitting give a living room feel, but are not quite as ideal for small people. All in all a good time was spent in the restaurant and the food was really good!

Best Greek restaurant far and wide. Be sure to make a reservation, even during the week it is very busy...

Yes, highly recommended. We were there with 10 people, for some the beer took too long (about 20 minutes) I can only speak for myself. Very friendly service, attractive, clean atmosphere. I ordered the salmon steak, 2 could have eaten it. Very generous portions at a fair price. First there was bread (delicious, I'm guessing homemade?) with 3 dips. We all enjoyed the food very much. We'll be back :-)

As always a very nice evening, even though it was extremely full, the service and food were great. always my pleasure

Everything is right...food, service, ambience......just goooooolllllll, keep it up.....

The best food in Germany, the real Greek.

The new facility is no longer as comfortable for us as it used to be. Rather sober and cool.

It's always nice to be there. Service is always friendly and the food is always very tasty 😋 Keep it up!

very friendly staff. Ample parking spaces. Good selection. Plentiful and tasty prepared. Very well attended and recommended.

You have to wait a bit on the weekend, even with a reservation (around 20-30 minutes depending on the day), but the great food and service are definitely worth it. The beautiful restaurant is definitely highly recommended!

New weekly menu with a fantastic curry chicken gyro....perfectly seasoned...High praise!!!

We were back at the Acropolis today and loved it as always! The food was absolutely fantastic – high quality, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely continue to come. Keep it up!

We went there for dinner on Christmas Day. As always on days like this, there was a huge rush here too. The staff handled everything in a very professional manner so that everyone could take their seats quickly. Our order was taken quickly. The food also came very quickly. The service staff was very friendly and attentive at all times. The food was excellent and the steaks were all cooked to the desired degree. We were completely satisfied and will definitely come back.

We pre-ordered a platter for 2 people, picked it up today, unfortunately the gyros were totally black and the rice was inedibly old, so we can't pick it up there anymore, it's a shame

We pre-ordered, picked up a platter for 2 people, unfortunately the gyros were black and the rice was inedible, too old, it's a shame we wanted to treat ourselves to good food, we're not picking up anymore

Nice and friendly service, delicious food. Good ambience.

....ordered a plate for two for today a week ago (by phone) it was supposed to be that way, that's what we got...at home it was a disaster...the gyros, the few pieces were all charred...dry and black...the rest The plate was fine, it's a shame if one thing doesn't fit...Happy New Year!!! In addition, the rice noodles were no longer edible after three hours...were they from yesterday?? I'm starting to get worried...

The food is delicious but there is a lot of it, so you often have to take it home in a box. The space is very beautiful and modern

All in all it was very good there. The food was solid. In terms of price, I think it may be a little more expensive but not overpriced. There are a few parking spaces but even there you can see over it. The service was good. Drinks were ordered and not delivered, but that can happen. Maybe prepare the food a little differently, otherwise there was nothing to complain about 😉

Basically a nice restaurant with a positive atmosphere, but I found it outrageous that the same price was charged for gyros without fries as with them. After all, you don't use the full service, so why pay the full price?

Everything really perfect. Food delicious, service super nice. That fits. Prices are ok.

We were here for the first time over 15 years ago and it was good. Stopped here again today and what can I say... Sensational!!! The restaurant has since been renovated and the cuisine has undoubtedly improved. I had a “tastegasm” today. A pork fillet skewer with spicy sauce. Breathtaking (and not because of the spiciness). Waiters were super nice, including to our little daughter. Class. We will definitely come back, even though we come from Hamm!!! Congratulations to the team at the Akropolis restaurant, you have managed to dethrone my favorite Greek restaurant. We will see each other again soon, only next time with a larger family circle.

So delicious! I'm totally thrilled. Great starter, 4 different dips with bread. A dream... Main course menu no. 52 wafer-thin fillet filled with sheep's cheese. Pure enjoyment ❤️ Respect for the service. It's crowded and loud, but everyone is super friendly and quick. It was a great evening with delicious food! Thank you, we will definitely come back…

Very polite staff.Great delicious food

Very good food that fills you up. ;) The food is of high quality and the service is very accommodating.

Here you get other Greek dishes. It's worth taking a look at the weekly menu! The restaurant is run family -like, you are served warmly and it just tastes good! The price-performance ratio is also very good. The restaurant is highly recommended! But it is better to reserve a table, the quality is obviously still known. It was great in Uelzen, thank you very much Evan.
