Babylon in Itzehoe

The food is very tasty. The ambience is elegant, the service friendly and accommodating. The portions are appropriate. Overall, a good price/performance ratio when you take into account the ambience, food and, above all, the nice service. I will come back.

Very tasty food. The staff is super friendly. Nice atmosphere. Also quite crowded during the week

Unfortunately, the stucco wall has been removed, and it's just a restaurant like any other. However, the service is excellent and the food is also impressive. I go here above all else.

Very good food, very nice staff and absolutely fair prices. Always my pleasure.

Tasty but tiny portion, nice service, used to look really nice

We went there today on a recommendation, very tasty, price was right and first class service.

It's always nice there. The food is also delicious.

Great restaurant, friendly service and very good food.

Had dinner in Babylon again after years. The new ambience is really classy! Black, chic very modern! The staff was very attentive and polite! Keep it up! Food was very, very tasty! Beef fillet on point, butter tender! Also the fish plate is mega! I'd be happy to pay a few marks more! The fillet could have had a little less sauce or more on the side. But it was delicious! Nothing else to complain about! I can't say anything about the price/performance/size of the gyros. If you want mass you definitely have to go somewhere else. But I'd love to come back here!

We were in Babylon for the first time. It was recommended to us. We got a table at very short notice. Very attentive friendly service and good, tasty, fresh food. The menu offers something for every taste and is varied. We had a lovely evening.

For me is the best place to eat something really good and everything in your plate is the art of gastronomy. Service with the most experts staff. Enjoy

The food was really great! I was pleasantly surprised and immediately had a good feeling. Although the restaurant was busy, the service was quick and the food was crisp. Not only I, but also my blackheads were thrilled - the food was simply excellent! The ambience is nice, even if I liked the previous design a little better. The price of the restaurant is slightly higher than other restaurants in the area, but the quality justifies the extra charge. I'm happy to pay for this taste. So far the best Mediterranean restaurant I know – I’ll definitely be back!

What are these prices? Price, performance doesn't work at all. Too bad... We actually wanted to go to dinner with 3 people, but not at this Greek restaurant. Used to be a great restaurant. 👎👎👎

The portions are far too small for the money

Thank you for the lovely evening. We'll be back.

Tisch war für 2 Personen reserviert. Bedienung wies uns den Tisch zu. Wir saßen kaum, hatten noch die Jacken an, da wurde uns schon die Speisekarte unter die Nase gehalten. Jacke fast ausgezogen, da wurden wir nach Getränken gefragt. Leute, das sich so etwas nicht gehört, müsste eine professionelle Bedienung wissen. 2x haben wir Nudeln mit Scampis bestellt, sehr kleine Menge ( Handvoll Nudeln und 6 Scampis) stolze 21,50 Euro, dass ist schon frech. Alle 5 Minuten wurde am Tisch nachgefragt, ob alles gut ist. Ehrlich gesagt, kam man gar nicht dazu sich vernünftig zu unterhalten. So etwas ist echt nervig, zwar nett gemeint, aber zuviel des Guten. Wir haben bezahlt und sind eine Station weiter gegangen um noch was zu essen, weil wir von der kleinen teuren Menge im Babylon leider nicht satt geworden sind.

Friendly service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere. In my opinion, the size of the portions or the ingredients (4 different dishes tested) have NO relation to the price. It will just be one visit for me.

Simply perfect, child-friendly, delicious. More than 5 stars

The four of us really enjoyed the food and the time here in an upscale atmosphere! The gyros are excellent and everyone enjoyed them equally! The liver was also perfectly prepared. The service staff were very attentive and we felt comfortable.

Price performance is not right here at all. Not full.

Great ambience, very friendly staff and extremely tasty steaks. Insider tip: Drink an espresso after dinner... A dream... :-)!

Price/performance is right, I can't understand the negative reviews.

Everything is great. Still only 2 stars. It's just outta this world as far as prices go. Impudent and cheeky. They won't see me there again.

The store is just great!!!! When you enter the restaurant you are greeted warmly and shown to the table. The service is extremely friendly and unobtrusive. The food and prices may not be like other Greek places, but neither is the ambience and the vibe. You go here to spend a nice evening and not just get full. Conclusion: Top location for people who are looking for something special :-)

We were back after a long time and were 6 people. The reception was very friendly, the atmosphere was nice, but the price-performance ratio was very inadequate. For the price I would also like to have better quality. The food tasted good so far, but the goods weren't fresh, except maybe the meat. You got canned vegetables on the plate and rice from the bag, bruchetta came with a baked roll. The rice was so sticky that you could taste it coming out of the bag. Dessert "Havas" tasted terrible. The plates weren't full enough for the price. You were still hungry afterwards. The service was a complete disaster, you either got the wrong drinks or none at all. You hardly understood the service staff because The lady spoke so quietly that you could hardly hear her at the volume. Conclusion: For the money I can get better quality elsewhere and the portions are large so that you are full.

Everything was fantastic, the food was delicious, the portions were big and the service was perfect!!!

It was our first time there and we were disappointed, the price/performance ratio wasn't right at all. Starter: Garlic bread made from baked rolls Main courses: Sea bream (ok) with overcooked vegetables without any taste Salad with honey mustard dressing tasted like nothing Salmon with spinach garlic cream sauce didn't taste like anything, it almost seemed like frozen salmon cubes and spinach. Also salad without taste. It's a shame, we expected more. It was hardly possible to have a conversation because it was very loud. We couldn't detect a supposedly upscale atmosphere either, paper documents, cheap electric candles and small lamps on the tables with grease stains on the base, and the salt and pepper mills could have been cleaner. Overall, intentional and unsuccessful. For the price I expect more. See La Grappa in the Field Forge.

The garlic bread and the bruschetta consisted of classic bakeable rolls like those you would find in discount stores. For the price it's an absolute disgrace. We were there on a Saturday evening and it was very busy, but a wait of over an hour is too long and unacceptable. Too bad

Friendly staff, helpful, nice atmosphere, good food, but high prices.

Very good food, price-performance ratio is completely appropriate. Very nice service, we felt completely at home and will definitely be back soon.

A place where you feel welcome and comfortable.

Very nice welcome and service, the food was great, a successful evening, we would love to come back 👍

First of all, I have to say that I was a bit “intimidated” by the reviews that commented on the portion sizes being supposedly too small. Since I wanted to invite my family, everyone had to be fed. We still “dared” to go and were not disappointed!!! - Everything was very, very tasty and also rich. Also really nicely presented. We ordered a wide selection of scampi, gyros, lamb, pork fillet with broccoli/mushrooms and fillet steak. First there was an ouzo on ice - very mild and tasty. Unfortunately, none of us could fit in any dessert. The extremely friendly and approachable staff should also be highlighted! We'll definitely be back very soon!

Wir waren waren während eines Kurzurlaubes in der Nähe von Itzehoe und hatten in dem Restaurant einen Tisch reserviert. Die tolle Location , das sehr nette Personal sowie die Speisen war ein tolles Erlebnis, was man kaum besser machen kann. Deshalb sollte man hier unbedingt hingehen! 5 Sterne von 5👍

It's just great here. Everything fits. The important thing is: pre-order. Gladly again and again.

Very nice atmosphere and nice service. Highly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere and really tasty and freshly prepared food.

Nice staff, huge portions and our food was damn tasty. We'll definitely be back soon.

Excellent experience, one I wouldnt expect in this area. Great food, tasted up to the highest level, big portions though and great service too. Nice evening lighting and nice decor. Late dining option like if you are in Greece! Reasonable pricing for how happy the taste buds were. I will be back when in the area again, Thank you!

Without a doubt a highlight of the gastronomy in Itzehoe and its surroundings. Both the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff are outstanding. Prices have risen like everywhere else. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio is right. Always my pleasure.

I also think that you don't get enough there anymore. The dishes taste good, but not enough is served. The restaurant has become expensive. What a shame! We really enjoyed being there. Not anymore.

A very elegant restaurant, very friendly service and great food and a great ambience. It's a little more expensive but it's worth it.

Obwohl einige Rezensionen etwas negativ waren, haben wir es Trotzdem versucht. Alles was wir in Bezug auf die Portionsgrößen gelesen haben, ist absoluter Quatsch. Wie sind mehr als satt geworden. Die Qualität was außergewöhnlich gut und bei einem griechischen Restaurant nicht zu erwarten. Die Preise sind für diese Qualität angemessen und natürlich nicht nicht mit Fastfood und Pizza Preisen vergleichbar. Also: bitte selbst ausprobieren und nicht auf die Vielfraß Kommentare hören.

Far too expensive for this poor quality. We usually eat at Greek restaurants in Elmshorn. The Elmshorner Greek tastes much better and is also cheaper. The prices for gyros at Babylon are even outrageous... the portion doesn't justify the price either. Once and never again...

Simply really delicious food. You can tell that the products are of good quality and everything is very nicely presented. Yes, it's expensive, cheaper would of course be nicer, but if you compare it with other restaurants, then you'd rather pay a few euros more and it's tasty. Service was also very nice. There was a great children's menu, which you can't find on the internet, we were pleasantly surprised. We will be back!

We always enjoyed being in Babylon. But we were horrified when we were there on March 24th. The prices have increased so much and the portions have become smaller that we will avoid this restaurant in the future. That's bullshit. We also complain that there are only small beers there. Of course, this is also good business. Too bad, Babylon should be careful. There are cheaper and also good restaurants in Itzehoe.

A very good restaurant with great cuisine

Great service, unfortunately the food really upset my stomach, I guess it was because of the prawns I ate there (which I normally have absolutely no problems with).

The best restaurant in the area, the atmosphere invites you to linger, the service is always top, everyone is friendly and the food is simply fantastic

Highly recommended, great ambience, friendly staff, delicious food.

Visited Babylon again after a long time. It's really become a chic restaurant. Great atmosphere, very nice and cozy. Friendly service. The food was okay. Serving the bruschetta with a baked roll is borderline. Price/performance ratio is not right here at all. Far too small portions at expensive prices. I'm happy to pay more, but then I'd like to at least be full.

Very courteous staff. The food is simply delicious! The prices are reasonable. It's just a great shop!

The food is simply delicious. It can not be said otherwise. We have been coming here for years and it has always been great, from the service to the food, highly recommended.

Excellent fillet plate of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken... Great quality. The guys in the kitchen did an excellent job... We were thrilled.

I've been back for a long time. The atmosphere and the staff were really good. The food was also delicious, but the price/performance ratio was subpar. The portions were really small. They even skimp on side dishes such as fries, so unfortunately you won't even be full with a starter (which is also smaller than in other restaurants). I find that very unfortunate! Main course (see photo) for €31.90.

I've waited a week now and thought about whether I should really write this review as a guest for about 20 years. I can't help it, I have to do it. I was this restaurant's biggest fan for about 20 years. Everything was always right for me there. That has changed cruelly. I still think the service and ambience are good. Friendly employees warmly welcome their guests. In my opinion, the former grotto has now become a stylish, attractive, urban-modern ambience, which I have now happily accepted after initial problems with getting used to it. BUT: I can't get over the light-footedness with which the prices were raised to "astronomical" levels in short stages and then - and that's what finally makes things bad for me - the food has shrunk into such remarkably small portions. Dear operators, I perceive your policy regarding prices and portion sizes to be inappropriate. Don't be fooled by the fact that your restaurant is still busy. The negative voices in the town's conversation are increasing significantly. A stream of guests can change very quickly. In any case, I will look more for alternatives in the future. It's a shame, I regret that. You too?

We went there spontaneously and were surprised by the flexibility, even though the restaurant was very busy! Great ambience, first-class food and top service! We would like to come again!

Substandard service: I was accused of lying in order to get the food for free, even though the service staff clearly pointed out clear deficiencies. Hamburg prices in Itzehoe: Very expensive prices for average food and small portion sizes that save on expensive ingredients. In my opinion, there are significantly higher quality alternatives in this price category.

Totally nice and very nice atmosphere. Food is great!!!! It is definitely advisable to book a table. 👍👍👍🥂

Everything is right here, top quality, good quantity, etc. Not cheap but worth it.

Very tasty food, great service! Just often very loud... always happy! :)

Were with you for the first time. The first thing that struck us was the price level. We don't live in St. Tropez! In my opinion the music was too loud. What was on the plate was tasty! The portions are not appropriate for the price. E.g. Tzatziki €7.90. Gyros in cream sauce only with salad (no fries) approx. 23€.

Beautiful setting and pleasant space to taste tasty dishes.

Very tasty food, very friendly and committed service. The courses come very well timed, whenever you think the next dish might be coming, it is on the table within minutes. A small note for the yoghurt desert with fruit, without the peel the orange and mango would be easier for the guest to eat. Thank you dear Babylon team for the lovely evening.

Food very good but a bit low for the price. Very loud! Table was not available at the reserved time.

Für Itzehoe eine klare Bereicherung

Very nice, courteous service, great restaurant and very tasty food.

It was very cozy and delicious 😋 I can only recommend it

Great food, sufficient portions, acceptable prices in a somewhat dark but pleasant atmosphere with brisk, very nice service. Wasn't there the last time.

This is no longer the Babylon we knew as a cozy “stalactite cave”. After the renovation, the restaurant now looks more like a cocktail bar only much louder. But that's more of a matter of taste. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. (for this the two stars) Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer correct at all. There is only half the portion available for twice the price. A tiny meat dish here easily costs €32. I'm usually only used to this from the first row on Sylt, but there the portion size is appropriate. However, this restaurant is located between a brothel and a pizza place, on the shabby remains of the former Itzehoer bar district "Bermuda Triangle" and has no customer parking space. I also find it unpleasant that people try to cover up the dirty toilets with intense scented stones and dark light.

Good morning, We had dinner at Babylon last night, the service was very good, the food also tasted very good. The price was quite high for me at first, but still okay, but the fact that I wasn't even full made me very annoyed. I've never had the feeling that I wasn't full and that's why I thought it was bad. . .

Waren am 01.01. im Babylon zum Abendessen und schon etwas überrascht das wir ohne Probleme an so einem Tag (sehr viele Restaurants in IZ hatten geschlossen) einen Tisch bekommen haben. Das Essen war geschmacklich gut, die Portionen viel zu klein und dem doch relativ hohem Preis absolut nicht gerechtfertigt. Schade, Bedienung war nett und freundlich, allerdings angesprochen auf die Mini-Portionen bekam ich ein Lächeln und ein freundliches " gebe ich an die Küche weiter". Das war es dann aber auch an Reaktion, wir haben dann bezahlt und uns direkt von nebenan noch eine Pizza (Kevins Pizza) mit nach Hause genommen (die war übrigens sehr lecker) Fazit: Das Babylon werden wir erstmal nicht mehr besuchen, obwohl Ambiente / Bedienung alles passt, aber lein leichtes Sättigungsgefühl sollt sich bei mir nach dem Restaurantbesuch schon einstellen.

Were on January 1st. at Babylon for dinner and a bit surprised that we got a table without any problems on such a day (many restaurants in IZ were closed). The food tasted good, the portions were far too small and the relatively high price was absolutely not justified. It's a shame, the service was nice and friendly, but when asked about the mini portions I got a smile and a friendly "I'll pass it on to the kitchen", but that was about it in terms of reaction. We then paid and took home a pizza (Kevin's Pizza) from next door (which was very tasty by the way) Conclusion: We won't be visiting Babylon again for the time being, even though the ambience/service is fine, but I should feel a slight feeling of satiety after a visit to the restaurant.

Essen war sehr gut auch für ein etwas höheres Niveau

Hier stimmt einfach alles: Karte, Essen, Service und Ambiente! Sowohl zu zweit oder auch in der Gruppe sehr empfehlenswert.

Essen war super. Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Räumlichkeiten schön eingerichtet.

Super Essen, klasse Service........auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!!!

Absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant im Raum Itzehoe! Den Babylon - Salat kann ich nur empfehlen und der Service ist immer freundlich und bemüht.

Bin ich zu alt dafür? Also erst einmal möchte ich das Team loben, sie sind überall und sehr aufmerksam. Wir hatten fünf verschiedene Kellnerin & Kellner die sich um unsere Tisch (8personen)gekümmert haben. Vielleicht etwas viel, da es, wenn man nicht selber aufpasst zu Doppelbesteuerung kommt. Und die Personalkosten treibt es auch in die Höhe, und da kommen wir zum Punkt der ganzen Sache. Die Preise sind sehr hoch und was man dafür bekommt, ist sehr LECKER UND AUSGEZEICHNET. aber die Menge ist deutlich überschaubar und wenn ich (früher) zum Griechen gegangen bin, bin ich nie hungrig aufgestanden, im Gegenteil, es blieb manchmal was auf dem Teller über. Das Ambiente ist neu modern und das Konzept der Getränke und Speise Anrichtung auch...es hat seine definitiv seine Daseinsberechtigung, ABER es ist für mich kein Grieche mehr im traditionellem Sinn, aber die Gerichte sind die "alten". Daher passt es (für mich) nicht zusammen. Fazit, wenn wir mal wieder zum Griechen wollen, kommen wir nicht hier her, wenn wir was Besonderes essen wollen, leider auch nicht, weil wir dann kein Griechen haben wollen.

Gutes mediterranes Essen. Ich finde es preislich günstig und das Personal ist wirklich freundlich

Sehr hohe Qualität der Speisen geschmackvolle arrangiert! Aufmerksamer Service.

Das Essen war lecker, der Service war super, das Ambiente auch, die Musik war für meinen Geschmack zu laut. Ich werde bestimmt mal wieder hingehen.

Wir gehen regelmäßig ins Babylon um dort einen stressigen Tag entspannt ausklingen zu lassen. Das neue Ambiente und der Service sind uns dabei wirklich wichtig. Allerdings ist die Qualität der Speisen zunehmend schlechter geworden. Dosen-Champinons und Tiefkühl-Brokkoli, welches ja kein Hoch-Preis Gemüse ist, gehören definitiv nicht, in die sonst ambitionierte Küche. Ein absolutes No-Go ist, das bei einem 2Personen Essen zu 82€ plus 8€ Trinkgeld kein zweiter Ouzo beim Abschied möglich war.👎👎👎

Immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Hervorragende Küche, auch "exotische" Speisen, wie zB Oktopus, werden sehr lecker zubereitet. Das Lamm ist ein Traum. Sehr freundliches Team. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Essen sehr gut. Allerdings keine Riesenportionen und relativ hochpreisig. Service aufmerksam und schnell. Etwas laut insgesamt, daher die 4 Sterne beim Ambiente

Sehr nettes Lokal mit tollem, schmackhaften Essen und rühriger Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Für uns immer wieder ein schönes Erlebnis ❤️ Essen und Trinken immer nur vom feinsten 🥂 Hier stimmen Preis 🍚 Leistung 😉 Ganz liebe Grüße an das gesamte Team 🎊☀️

Tolles Ambiente, lecker Essen. Endlich mal nicht 0815 Grieche. Weiter so

War gestern seid sehr langer Zeit mal wieder im Babylon. Bin ziemlich enttäucht. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und das Personal sehr nett. Die Portionen sind ziemlich teuer und man wird NICHT satt. Schon komisch beim Griechen. Wir sprachen das auch bei Bedienung an, aber die Reaktion war nur....."tut mir leid " mehr kam da nicht. Naja das Restaurant streichen ich dann von meiner Liste. Schade.......

Excellent restaurant... et un cadre super class

Ich war gestern das erste Mal im Babylon. Modern aber trotzdem Gemütlich. Man wird freundlich empfangen und der Service ist gut. Die einzige Kritik die ich habe ist am Essen. Obwohl das Essen lecker war. Ich hatte als Vorspeise Bruschetta. Meiner Meinung gehört Feta nicht auf Bruschetta. Überdeckt den eigentlich Geschmack. Als nächstes eine Portion Tzaziki. Und genau so wurde es auch serviert. Es war eine kleine Portion Tzaziki auf einem Teller. Kein Brot, keine Oliven, nicht mal ein Scheibe Gurke. Für 7,20€. Und zur Dekoration, oder um es auf dem Teller mehr aussehen zu lassen, wurde die Kelle noch mal durchs Tzaziki gezogen. Oder wie meine Begleitung sagte: "Welcher Hund hat den über deinen Teller geleckt!" War aber geschmacklich in Ordnung. Als Hauptspeise hatte ich die Nr. 85 Souvlaki Spezial. Die Auswahl ob Pommes, Kartoffelecken oder Reis gab es nicht. Okay, also dann Reis. Habe mich extra für nichts überbackenes entschieden. Und jetzt könnt ihr mal raten was das Spezial an dem Souvlaki war. Natürlich eine Schicht Käse. Das war auch schon das ganze Spezial. Auch dieses Mal ist der Teller sehr übersichtlich. Souvlaki, Reis und eine sehr kleine Portion Tzaziki und ein Klecks Ketchup durch den wieder der besagte Hund geleckt hat. Alles zusammen mit zwei Bier hat mich dann 45€ gekostet. Wow! Ich weiß ja nicht was für einen Joghurt sie verwenden oder wo das Fleisch her kommt oder ob Goldstaub unter das Essen gerührt wurde. Aber das was da auf den Tellern war passt einfach nicht zu diesen Preisen. Das kann dann auch der gute Geschmack nicht wieder raus holen.

Hervorragendes Essen, griechisch mal anders.

Heut Abend das erste Mal dort gewesen trotz vollem Restaurant und ohne Reservierung bekamen wir einen Tisch für 2 Personen. Wir nahmen beide die (96) Schweinemedaillons. Hammerlecker, sehr zart und vor allem nicht trocken.. Richtig gut ! Unsere einzige Empfehlungdaher lautet: Wollt ihr an einem Samstagabend ins Babylon, geht auf Nummer sicher und reserviert vorher einen Tisch. Unser Besuch war spontan und trotzdem hat man es trotz vollem Reservierungsplan einen Tisch frei"geschaufelt". Vielen Dank dafür. Achso.... fast vergessen. Der Preis war dem Essen absolut angemessen. Sowohl in Qualität als auch in der Menge.

Essen und Service gut. Komme gern wieder.

Sehr gutes Essen, toller Service und auf die Wüsche wird super eingegangen. Vielen Dank!

Modernes Ambiente, sauber und gepflegt. Top Service, freundlich und sehr bemüht. Essen, sehr lecker und grosse Portionen. Preise absolut angemessen. Waren an einem Freitag Abend 20 Uhr da, mit 4 Personen. Das Restaurant war komplett ausgebucht und dennoch kamen Getränke und Speisen immer zeitnah. Da versteht jemand was von organisierter Gastronomie!!!

Das Ambiente ist gehoben, aber im linken Teil (vom Eingang aus gesehen) machen die schwarzen Wände es abends schon sehr dunkel. Der Service war meistens sehr aufmerksam, das Essen war gut.

Ich war gestern nach längerem mal wieder dort Essen und war etwas enttäuscht. Ambiente und Service sehr gut und professionell aber die Preise sind vorsichtig gesagt „explodiert“… Dafür sind dann die Portionsgrössen deutlich geschrumpft. Die Bruschetta war mit 2 kleinen Minischeiben Brot echt wenig, war jetzt eher durchschnittlich lecker, und ich finde, dass Feta da nicht so harmoniert. Das Gyros war deutlich zu salzig und nach meinem Empfinden auch zu fettig. Pommes waren solide und das Tsatsiki viel zu wenig. Krautsalat Fehlanzeige. Der grüne Salat war zu fade und hätte eigentlich ein aufregenderes Dressing verdient. Insgesamt wars OK, aber ich muss leider sagen, dass ich hier schon mal besser, mehr und preiswerter gegessen habe. Finde ich etwas schade.

Sehr lecker und nett gemacht, vorher fand ich es ehrlich gesagt besser. Nach dem Umbau ist es nicht mehr so persönlich, sondern modern so wie überall. Aber trotzdem immer wieder gerne da .

Sehr schönes, modern eingerichtetes Restaurant. Es gibt auch eine Bar. Das Personal war durchweg sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Wessen war richtig lecker. Die Portionen sind aber Recht klein. Ohne Vorspeise wäre ich nicht satt geworden.
