Athena-Roma in Berlin

The explanation for why there's no side salad anymore was that people didn't want to throw away food, and there used to be a lot of leftover side salad. At the same time, there were oranges on the main course plate, which hardly anyone ate. A somewhat irritating robot operator that couldn't get through everything...

It was a lovely visit on the terrace. Delicious food at fair prices. Friendly staff. The food arrives with the cool robot 🤖

The food is recommended. The portions were good. Our cocktails, however, were not recommended – but they were excellent value for money. We'll be back anyway.

From the cloth napkins to the very friendly service to the delicious dessert... everything was truly amazing. We've rarely had such an excellent meal. Thank you so much...

The Athena Roma is located at Jenny-Lind-Str. 07, 13189 Berlin. With reference to the above, authentic Mediterranean cuisine is offered here. During my stay, I drank several beers and enjoyed a Ptolemos suflaki. Both were delicious. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and very good value. I am happy to recommend this excellent restaurant. Dear Sir or Madam, If you enjoyed my review, please give me a like. Thank you in advance for all your good efforts. Best regards, Bernd Gutermuth

I was there today with friends. Everything was great, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was okay, and the service was okay. I'd be happy to go back anytime.

Really nice restaurant with great food and a good service. Sometimes they offer brunch but actially the food a la carte was much better in my opinion.

This was our first time here. Parking was easy to find. The restaurant, with its outdoor terrace, seemed clean. We were greeted warmly at the entrance by the waitresses and shown to our tables. The menu, as the name suggests, offers a mix of Greek and Italian cuisine. The interior design of the restaurant was dominated by Italian. A dice on the table, which you could use to "call" the waitress, as well as a serving robot from which the waitress then served food, seemed a bit odd. It didn't really suit us. The service was quite attentive even without the dice. Sometimes, however, there were too many empty courses (they didn't take the empty ones away or made two courses for two things – first ouzo on the house, then another for the bill). What I didn't like at all was that the Coke bottle wasn't served on a tray, but was simply handed over by the neck of the bottle. You probably only notice both of these things if you've been in service for many years. Now, we know that Italy and Greece are generally warmer than Germany. The heat was probably overdone in the kitchen. The bread for the tzatziki had probably been sliced ​​a long time ago and was almost like rusk. The bruschetta, bifteki, and fish had all been exposed to the full southern warmth in the kitchen and were large, dark brown with roasted aromas. This was obvious with the bifteki – the zander was covered in sauce, generously covered. The tzatziki was very tasty, and the tiramisu – a very large piece for dessert – was also delicious. The welcome from the kitchen at the beginning, the ouzo on the house at the end, and the cloth napkins were special touches. Overall, though, I'm only giving it 3 stars, even though the restaurant was two-thirds full and quite busy – the cooked quality of the food shouldn't have suffered as a result. The price-performance ratio on the menu is reasonable.

The restaurant is very nice and the service is friendly, but the food was mediocre. It was nothing special and overly salty. Furthermore, the waiter denied that the food could be oversalted and then tried to find excuses. He seemed overwhelmed and stressed, which is a bit stressful for you.

We always enjoyed coming here, but unfortunately, things have declined (again) recently. The service is no longer attentive; the dice on the table for ordering/paying were repeatedly ignored; unfortunately, our order and payment requests were repeatedly asked for by different people. The side dish selection between rice and noodle rice was also suddenly standardized for all dishes at the table, but unfortunately, it wasn't that good either (bland, slightly overcooked noodle rice). On one of our recent visits, they were noisily grinding coffee at the counter. This continued despite inquiries/complaints about the noise (from several guests). Coffee was being ground "in advance" for the next few days. The owners can't do anything about the other customers, but it always seems like there are a lot of chain smokers on the terrace. On the positive side, I would like to point out that the restaurant is very child-friendly and always brings out art supplies, including a children's menu (for coloring).

Clean restaurant, friendly staff. However, the staff isn't very attentive. We had to wait a long time for the menu. We weren't offered any bread up front, even though the other tables had it. Overall, the food was far from 4.7 stars. The gyro meat was okay, but not particularly crispy. The tzatziki was certainly homemade, but rather bland. The potatoes weren't cooked all the way through. Additionally, the wrong side dish was served. They don't offer a side salad up front, which is usually standard at this price point. We won't be back. There are considerably better Greek restaurants in the city and district.

Very friendly, delicious food quickly on the table

Very tasty, plentiful food. Plenty of meat, but also vegetarian options. Super friendly staff. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are very inviting. Quiet surroundings. Highly recommended!

Excellent ice cream creations...

Ich war in einem griechisch-italienischen Restaurant und war begeistert. Das Fleisch war zart, saftig und sehr gut gewürzt. Der Service war freundlich und das Ambiente angenehm. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Sehr gutes Essen,Bedienung und Service spitze kommen immer wieder und bringen Freude mit und werden es weiterempfehlen

Moin Wir sind zu Besuch in Berlin und haben das Restaurant Athena Roma besucht. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und der Service war Freundlich. Die Getränke kamen schnell. Unsere Kinder hatten ihren Spaß mit dem Robo Kellner der uns das Essen an den Tisch gebracht, der Kellner (Mensch) hat uns dennoch das Essen gereicht. Meine Kinder haben Pasta und meine Frau und ich haben uns zwei Gerichte geteilt. Das Essen war wirklich Lecker und Frisch. Die Wartezeit war angemessen. Der Freundliche Kellner war aufmerksam, meine Kinder und wir sind sehr zufrieden rausgegangen. Bevor wir wieder nach Hause fahren, kommen wir definitiv nochmal vorbei.

Verstecktes Restaurant ,dafür sehr ruhig gelegen und genügend Parkplätze vorhanden . Essen war sehr gut und reichhaltig , vom Haus gab es Tztatziki und Brot mit Oliven , mal was anderes als immer der Beilagensalat , den man sonst beim Griechen bekommt . Bifteki und Musakas waren exzellent und können wir nur empfehlen . Zum Abschluss gab es ein Amaretto und für meine Begleitung einen Espresso aufs Haus . Alles in allem haben wir den Besuch im Athena Roma nicht bereut und uns zum Glück selber ein Bild gemacht und uns nicht von den vorherigen Rezensionen beeinflussen lassen . Wir werden wiederkommen :)

The food tastes very good. The price is reasonable, too. I can recommend Moussaka to everyone. They have everything from fish and meat to vegetarian options.

Unfortunately, a little disappointed... A 4.7 is completely inexplicable... It raises suspicions... The tzatziki is most likely not homemade; I know the taste from the supermarket... The gyro is unfortunately lacking in seasoning... The portion size of the meat in the gyro plate is more like a senior citizen's plate... I'm used to something different from good Greek restaurants... My colleague's Metaxa gyro was even more disappointing... Ambience: The music has no concept... It plays a random mix of everything from charts to techno, but not a hint of Greek flair... Attentiveness and promptness from the service could be better... On the other hand, the food is delivered to the table by a self-driving serving robot... Unfortunately, the overall experience doesn't really add up...

The bifteki was dry, the fries were dry, and the side dishes were different than ordered, and everything was only lukewarm. The salad was good. 63 euros for two adults and one child. Not recommended.

This is a lovely place to enjoy a meal in a relaxed atmosphere. You can sit comfortably inside or outside, and there's a good selection, although the menu isn't too extensive. The food is very tasty and the staff very friendly. I think it's great value for money. If you're dining with more than six people, a reservation is recommended, at least on weekends.

Very friendly staff, good food, and a pleasant location. I immediately felt quite at home here!

I was here for the first time today. Very chic restaurant with great staff. You feel very comfortable and in good hands. If 6 stars were possible, then there would be 6 stars for the staff 😄 Prices for the food are great!! Two beers and a meal for two, including tip, €50. Great!! Unfortunately, my food wasn't hot, just warm. This meant that it got cold very quickly while eating. Nevertheless, I can recommend the restaurant and will visit it again. :)

Da man auf Google leider ehrlich Bewertungen löschen lässt, muss ich nun meine Bewertung hier los werden. Die Bedienung kaute während der Aufnahme der Bestellung Kaugummi und war sehr unprofessionell. Das bestellte Hähnchengyros wurde schnell serviert, war jedoch so fettig, dass ich die Hälfte des Fleisches auf dem Teller lassen musste. Es gab auch keinen einzigen Ouzo, nicht mal nach dem Bezahlen. Alles in allem keine gute Erfahrung. Und wenn ein Restaurant alle negativen Bewertungen löschen lässt anstatt darauf zu antworten und die Probleme anzugehen, dann nützen auch all die Bewertungsportale nichts mehr...

Six of us ordered there, and after two hours, the food unfortunately didn't arrive. Instead, our order was simply canceled, and when we asked over the phone, we were told we had done it. Unfortunately, I can't recommend ordering online from there. It's a shame!

We went to the restaurant yesterday in a small group for dinner. The waitress was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately, she couldn't really answer our questions and chewed gum at the table while we were taking our orders. I had a portion of chicken gyros with Metaxa sauce. The sauce was delicious, but the meat was very fatty, which is why I had to throw away half of it. The side dish was supposed to be herbed potatoes, but I opted for fries. There was no appetizer salad, and all in all, it was more adequate than good. Sorry. The prices are reasonable, but, quite unusual for a Greek restaurant, they didn't even offer ouzo after paying. Instead, we had to order some and weren't even informed that there were two different types. Of course, we were served the more expensive ones. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back after this experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I celebrated my birthday at this wonderful Greek restaurant – and it was simply perfect! The food was fantastic – fresh, lovingly prepared, and an absolute delight. Every course was a highlight. The service was attentive, warm, and incredibly friendly – ​​we felt completely at home. The atmosphere was just right for a special evening: relaxed, inviting, and with that certain extra touch of Greek warmth. Many thanks to the entire team for this unforgettable evening – we will definitely be back! Unfortunately, our own photos were too short that evening, so a fitting AI-generated version is included.

I haven't had better pizza since I came to Berlin. Really all praise.

Small but fine menu, everything from Italian and Greek cuisine, portions are very large and beautifully prepared, price range is very good for the size of the portions, gladly again 😀

Amazing food in a very quiet area. Service was great, thank you very much. We will gladly come back when we are visiting Berlin again!

Rather disappointing - a Greek starter platter - the modern ambience of the restaurant gives hope for excellent quality - my meze platter for almost €15 was quite a disappointment compared to that: a heap of tzatziki, a heap of kopanisti, two zucchini slices and two eggplant slices from the grill, a grape leaf rice roll from the can, that was actually the whole of Greece. Plus mozzarella sticks from the convenience store - what are they doing on a meze platter? Luckily there are still a few Greek restaurants where you can get better...

The food was really good. Very good and friendly service. 👍

Thanks for everything…food was super delicious

The Athena Roma is definitely one of the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurants in Berlin. The menu does what it promises. Attentive service, confident but not exorbitant prices. We have been here several times and will definitely come back.

Nice restaurant with moderate prices and consistently good quality food. Very friendly staff. Dance and music evening was very nice

It was so delicious and the service was fantastic from the start. The food was incredibly delicious - we have never eaten so well at a Greek restaurant. The service was top and very pleasant in its style. The restaurant is designed with small Greek accents and is very clean (even to the toilets) We would be happy to come back and will definitely recommend it to others.

Very cozy and nice friendly staff

Valentine's Day - not pre-ordered. Thankful that we still got a place outside the dining room. 😉 Then the food - a nightmare. (hopefully the guests in the guest room had better) Pasta with salmon (€17) - the salmon were rubbery cubes The carbonara wasn't any better ☹️ It's a shame about the money, I'm sorry, but unfortunately I can't recommend the kitchen

Delicious food, nice service and nice place.

Very nice thing, I'll go there again

Discovered by chance via Uber Eats! 10*! Everything is super cool! Super packed! Super tasty 👍Super fresh! The best in years! All that's missing is that the doorbell rings and someone offers me an Uzo! It's been a long time since I've been able to order something so delicious from a Greek restaurant! Keep it up 🙏🙏

We reserved a table for 3 people on Boxing Day and had a delicious meal cooked for us with a really good menu. There was nothing wrong with the food or service and the restaurant is nice too. Maybe a little too dark but in this weather you would have to turn on the lights. I was just a little surprised by the bill. Sorry to say it like that, but a soup, a duck leg with dumplings and kale and a nice, delicious dessert for €49 per person is a bit too expensive. We eat out at least once every month but we've never managed to spend more than €150. Maybe you should reconsider the price so that customers come to the restaurant again next year for the holidays.

The service (the staff) is very attentive and the food speaks authenticity. I can only recommend the restaurant

very delicious and fresh greek food!

Super tasty. everything is perfect :)

We were invited to brunch at 11 a.m. When we arrived on site, we were told that it would not open until 12 p.m. Even the front door said 11 a.m. The rolls were not fully baked on the inside and the complete selection was very clear and did not reflect Greek or Italian specialties/food. It was still relatively busy and there was only one waitress in attendance, which of course led to long waiting times when ordering drinks.

No ouzo after dinner. Others can do that better

My favorite Greek restaurant in Berlin. Whenever I need a short vacation (for about 2 hours;-) I go to the Athena Roma in Pankow. The food here is delicious and the service is excellent. Simply recommended! 😜 Keep it up!!!

A great restaurant that we like to visit. The staff is always friendly, unobtrusive and very service-oriented, no matter how stressful or busy it is. The food is also very tasty, the portions are large. We always enjoy going there :) We would like to see a vegan gyro on the menu :)

Really tasty, just a bit lightly seasoned. Service great, very tasty.

Had lunch there today and can only recommend the kitchen. If you want a great Metaxa sauce in Berlin, you should only go here. The other dishes were also absolutely delicious. It should also be emphasized that there are cloth napkins on the table. We have never experienced this with any Greek in Germany. The price for everything is absolutely ok.

Very tasty food and friendly service

A cozy restaurant. Great service and very tasty food. 😋

Good evening Great restaurant to eat and drink. And to linger a little longer, because of the design of the room and music 🎶 selection fit together really well. And the service is super nice and accommodating. Would love to come back. 🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰

Very nice and friendly. Food tastes very tasty 👍 recommended!!!

Everything tasted wonderful. I have never eaten so well at a Greek restaurant. If I'm in Berlin again, this will be my first choice. Thank you.

Es war wie immer wunderbar, das Personal freundlich, aufmerksam und fachlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Boeckenhauer Fröhlich

Service team very friendly and food very tasty. I'd love to come back.

SERVICE AND AMBIENCE TOP, FOOD OVER SEASONY, AT LEAST THE GREEK DISHES. COMPARED TO OTHER GREEKS IN THE DISTRICT.

Ich bin echt begeistert von dem Restaurant Athena Roma in Berlin Pankow. War gestern mal wieder dort. Der griechische Wein und die Salat Teller sind echt empfehlenswert und sehr schmackhaft. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und kommunikativ. Schade das ihr ab dem 05 August Familien Urlaub macht😔 Ich werde euch vermissen. Einen ganz lieben Gruß von Jörg Lehmkuhl aus Berlin Pankow wa 🤗

Great staff, perfect food, nice atmosphere! Best restaurant in Pankow!

I was there yesterday with my sister and niece and her boyfriend, all I can say is that this restaurant actually deserves 6 stars, we were served very nicely and an outdoor table was specially prepared for us. The staff is super nice and the food is great and tasted very good. Great restaurant where we will go more often.

Unfortunately we can only agree with the previous reviews :-( This restaurant has been going downhill ever since the operator changed... Not only that the prices have risen disproportionately. No, unfortunately the portions are getting smaller and the sauces only taste like cream. In addition, the service stands out only because of its arrogance. It's a real shame what has become of this former showpiece restaurant (in this great location!) :-(((( And a little tip to the operator: Maybe only put the 100,000 euro sleigh back in front of the door when you think you deserve it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the good food and the staff always on their toes keep it up

The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and the waiters are friendly and attentive. There is also a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We recommend the tzatziki and the truffle pizza 😊👌 I'm not from here, otherwise I would definitely come back!

Awesome food and value for money 😆

Food as always delicious. Gladly again

Previously, the restaurant only knew about home delivery. Now eaten on site. Very, very tasty. Some are delivered with a robot that looks like a cat. Something different too. Plus friendly service. Everything was great and would be happy again. 😊

Really fresh, delicious food. Meat really juicy and very seasoned

Top food - very nice decor & best service!! It's a pleasure

The ambience seems rather simple but you are treated to very authentic Greek cuisine. Due to a celebration, we had the opportunity to enjoy a very extensive buffet and were more than satisfied with it.

I have no idea where the other good reviews come from. We ate gyros and bifteki there and were very disappointed. Dry meat, oily potatoes and bland salad.

Very interesting location. What is striking is the desire to come across as modern and yet comfortable. Finally a clear menu, very nice service, including “Robi” the additional service person. The food was nicely prepared, but the finishing touches were missing. I would have liked fresher ingredients for the salad beforehand, it was very easy. Otherwise, keep it up and you'll keep getting better.

Very tasty food and perfect service!!! Unfortunately, 5 stars are still not enough.

Athena Roma is a Greek restaurant. It was always super good, simple and warm. - Now there has been a change of ownership and now everything has been made a little more “classy”. The staff has also changed. - The food is very tasty and the staff is friendly. Every first Friday of the month there is a dance with different themes. It's a bit strange at this late hour. Then a young crowd comes and you feel a little out of place... Maybe that's a matter of opinion... There are parking spaces right in front of the house and public transport is nearby. We'll definitely come back, but it's not quite the same anymore.

Very tasty food, a well-rehearsed, friendly team, all at reasonable prices - first-class service. The restaurant is very popular with regular guests, so far we have always been able to get a seat even without a reservation, but on weekends it can get tight, so we recommend reserving a table in advance.

Good place to go to dinner with friends. The food is quite good!

Not recommended, doesn't have much to do with Greek food. Ordered several things to take away. And without exception it didn't taste good, the Gorgonzola sauce was a blast. Never tried anything so bad.

Great branch, always happy to eat on Sundays, unfortunately not so good anymore. Now I always have a dance evening on the first Friday of the month

Friendly service, good food and the atmosphere is modern and pleasant at the same time. The robot that brings the food from the kitchen to the table is sweet and gives the staff time to take care of the guests.

We waited a long time for our food and when we asked we were met with an astonished "You haven't had that yet?" The service was otherwise friendly. The food wasn't baked properly and I expected more in terms of taste for the price. The spritzer contained very little bubbles. It's nice to sit outside, but the ambience fits into the neighborhood and seems generic. You can eat there, there isn't much choice in the neighborhood, but you shouldn't expect anything more than middle class.

Super great food and nice team. A special thanks to the waiter from Rostock.

Well organized, no pushing at the buffet. Sufficient and tasty.

Always very good food, great atmosphere and very nice staff! Edit: March 2024 We have been regular guests at Athena Roma for years and we also celebrated our wedding there. Now, with a breath of fresh air for some time now, a bit more modern flair is returning, but without changing the ambience too quickly or too much. You notice the new handwriting and can regularly discover small changes. The quality and quantity of the food is always consistently very good. Very nice staff takes care of any concerns/requests of the guests. We feel very comfortable there and regularly come to Athena Roma.

Super Service und Essen war auch sehr lecker . Hat sich sehr viel verändert in den letzten Monaten und kann ich nur empfehlen.

We found the little “robot” that brought the food to the tables quite unusual. 😁😁 Great idea.

The staff is very attentive, friendly, & authentic, with a touch of humorous charm, The range of food and drinks is very diverse and tasty. The atmosphere is pleasant and the pretty wall painting gives a touch of Greece - vacation 🌅 😄. Very nice 👏. I can only recommend the restaurant. ❤️

Good service and relaxing environment

Some time ago (around 4-5 months) we ate here and were completely thrilled, delicious food, great service and everyone was very nice. Yesterday we ordered food here that didn't meet our expectations at all. Attached is the picture of my meal (pork medallions in Metaxa sauce for €18.50!!!!!) and there was a portion of garlic potatoes, but I wonder where the sauce went, the little bit that was on the medallions is real a joke. My friends' food didn't convince anyone either, we were very disappointed, the value for money wasn't there. And we only live 3 minutes away and yet the food arrived almost cold. From visit to visit this restaurant has decreased in both service and quality of food. We are really disappointed... Addendum to the owner's answer: The last time we were at your place we had to give my friend's food back completely because the noodles were dried out, so you can tell you're slacking off. Not satisfied twice in a row.

Too much pepper, the food was unsalted, but the waiters were very friendly and nice

Die bisherigen Bewertungen sind schon älter, besonders während der letzten zwei Jahren hat sich im Pankower Athena-Roma viel getan. Ich bin seit vielen Jahren mit Freunden oder Familie öfter dort und kann über dieses Restaurant nur Gutes sagen. Sowohl mit dem Essen als auch mit dem Service, den Räumen und der gesamten Atmosphäre waren wir stets sehr zufrieden. Die immer heiter gestimmten Kellner behandeln ihre Gäste respektvoll, individuell und korrekt. Die Sauberkeit insgesamt und während der gesamten Öffnungszeit auch im Toilettenraum ist vorbildlich und Teil des sehr guten Eindrucks, den wir nach jedem Besuch des Restaurants mitnehmen. Nicht überall ist das so selbstverständlich. Ich bin sehr gern im Athena-Roma und kann es für einen rundum angenehmen Aufenthalt nur empfehlen.

One of the best restaurant visits I've had in a long time. Were invited here by friends. Service was very nice, helpful and friendly and not just to the adults. The food was very tasty and everyone enjoyed it. Ambience is chic and modern. Would definitely come by again.

Great food, the new owner puts his heart and soul into it...

The Athena Roma is a restaurant with great food, great service (nice, friendly waiters) and a nice ambience. It is, in my opinion, highly recommended. LOVE TO THE GREAT TEAM. FROM MATZE AND SYLVI.

Excellent service, the food was A1. Highly recommended. Ordering a table would be appropriate. Were there on Friday at 6 p.m.

Went here for dinner with a salad beforehand, unfortunately a run-of-the-mill salad wasn't interesting, the main course wasn't particularly impressive either and dessert was a joke 3.50 for a shot glass with something sweet

Freundliches und zügig arbeitendes Personal inkl. eines putzigen Roboters "Bella". Das Essen ist gut und das Ambiente ist eher sachlich, aber keineswegs ungemütlich.

Sehr gutes Restaurant im Pankower Kiez. Der Service ist ausgezeichnet und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und auf jeden Fall ausreichend. Ab und zu gibt es besondere Aktionen wie Buffet oder Brunch. Alles in allem sehr gut. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Kann Mann echt wieder besuchen, also zum empfehlen 😋
