Dalmacija Restaurant in Kiel

Food would be swapped. Got inferior food and basically paid twice as much.

Essen bestellt um abholen.Essen wird vertauscht, man telefoniert, darauf hin wird sich am Telefon entschuldigt. Man bekommt das Angebot, beim nächsten Mal ein Essen gratis, da man zahlt fast das doppelte für ein Essen bezahlt hat und es von ganz schlechter Qualität ist. Man will heute das Angebot annehmen, aber nun heißt es auf Mal, alles war richtig. Man hätte auch nicht das Angebot gemacht. Man bekommt keinen Ersatz und wird als Lügner dargestellt. Unglaublich, wie rotzfrech.

My parents were regulars 30 years ago and often took me with them as a child. On November 1st, 2024, at the age of 44, I decided to come back and visit the family-run restaurant Dalmacija. There was a nice atmosphere that day and I waited at a table after placing my order. An 81-year-old man was sitting there who had also ordered food. For his wife, who has just returned from the hospital, because she should finally eat something good again. That's exactly why people go there. To enjoy good food in a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately something has now happened that I can't avoid writing a reflection on in the form of a restaurant review. I would also warn people with weak immune systems not to stay there for too long, because on November 1st, 2024, an employee (son of the owner's husband) had a cold. Now I have responsibilities scheduled in my life and, for example, I have contact with nursing homes and unfortunately I became ill. My partner got sick and I had to worry about infecting others with this cold for almost two weeks, regardless of my illness process. Now I called there today. Why? Simply to point out, kindly as I am and without any malicious ulterior motives, that one should not keep sick employees in a place that is visited by people outside of their obligations. Why? Because it is beyond the control of every single person to protect themselves from infection. After all, we guests often have obligations in our lives. I kindly called and spoke to the owner's husband. Now, of course, it also depends on the individual how a topic is dealt with and whether one is even able to deal normally with an unexpected topic like mine. I didn't want to complain or get my money back and I didn't want to blame anyone. I called in a friendly manner to show the perspective that it can really have consequences if you do your job proudly and sickly in a socially fluctuating location like in this restaurant. There are fates and consequences for people who then leave this restaurant and later develop an illness. Why do I write so much and why this review in the form it does? The person on the phone was just casually accusing me of things and was unable to see what I was getting at. He accused me right from the start (in bad German and that's why it's possible that someone who has lived in Germany for decades can't understand exactly what I wanted to tell him) for base reasons that I was now demanding money from the Dalmacija restaurant and, informed me that someone was always sick and that no guest had ever become infected as a result. Yes, exactly... and the incense sticks are glowing in the basement... . .. so... . . what kind of thing is that?! The person wasn't at all open to my words and became louder and louder, whereupon I just said angrily that I spoke in a friendly manner and that he probably couldn't handle it at all. I then decided to hang up and end the conversation. Unfortunately, I don't wish Dalmacija any more good things. It is now clear to me which organ of the company I am dealing with here. My attachment to this restaurant was kept alive by imagination and misconceptions and now it is dead. I would like to advise all future guests of the Dalmacija to correctly assess their own immune processes and, if necessary, to bring up the topic of "own health" if staff have a cold, in order to perhaps get a little change. At least from my side nothing will move anymore. I'm shocked. People tend to put things into perspective and argue against them instead of having an open ear and understanding. This was once again one of the most primitive pieces of evidence for me.

Eat like your mother eats. Simply delicious and super hospitable. Highly recommended!

Great service and delicious food

It was a very nice evening, the hospitality and the food were very good. Today it has become very rare to offer such service and good food for a low price, but this family business knows how to run a very good restaurant. We'll be back.

Friendly staff, good service, pleasant atmosphere.

We were able to reserve at short notice without any problems. The place is very clean and well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and quick. The food is top. The noise level is also within the normal range. The restaurant has really lived up to its good reputation.

Very fast service, friendly and competent service, I can recommend it

Super cozy place with really good and friendly service. Excellent food and beer for the price. Large portion for sharing - 3 people.

We were once again drawn to the Croatian restaurant DALMACIJA in Kiel. Since the weather was summery, we rode our bikes and were able to sit on the beautiful terrace (beer garden). We were served in a very friendly manner and were able to really enjoy our delicious, hot food. On the one hand there was Pola-Pola (4 cevapcici and a meat skewer) with the usual side dishes as well as a delicious hot sauce and a garlic sauce. On the other hand, there was something very down-to-earth, namely sour meat with fried potatoes, remoulade sauce and a small salad. We enjoyed it very much again, and the freshly tapped cold drinks also tasted very good. The restaurant was very well attended not only on the terrace but also inside. Smooth 5***** from me!

The service is extremely polite and attentive. The food came within 20 minutes. Super tasty and freshly prepared.

Always good! Very tasty food (not only Croatian). There are also nice outdoor spaces in the summer!

Nice restaurant, a bit of an inn character and nice service. There is a small playground in the garden to get rid of the children. Unfortunately no vegetarian main courses (!!)

Es zog uns mal wieder in das kroatische Restaurant DALMACIJA in Kiel. Da das Wetter sommerlich war, fuhren wir mit den Rädern und konnten auf der schönen Terrasse (Biergarten) sitzen. Wir wurden überaus freundlich bedient und konnten unser leckeres und heiß auf den Tisch gekommenes Essen wirklich genießen. Es gab zum einen Pola-Pola (4 Cevapcici sowie ein Fleischspieß) mit den üblichen Beilagen sowie einer leckeren scharfen Sauce und einer Knoblauchsauce dazu. Zum Anderen gab es mal etwas ganz bodenständiges, nämlich Sauerfleisch mit Bratkartoffeln, Remouladensauce und einem kleinen Salat dazu. Uns hat es wieder sehr gut geschmeckt, auch die frischgezapften Kaltgetränke haben sehr gut gemundet. Das Restaurant war nicht nur auf der Terrasse, sondern auch im Innenraum sehr gut besucht. Von mir geschmeidige 5***** !

The ketchup wasn't the right one, at Croatians you always get it for free and it's homemade, it's a shame they didn't have it there 😔but everything was great

Very tasty food, large portions, attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

Good and cheap food. Short waiting times when ordering by phone and a nice boss.

Had dinner there on Saturday, what can I say, it was just perfect. Sitting relatively relaxed in the beer garden, good prices for what you get. But their prices are always right

Super delicious food with a family connection

We are happy that they are open again. The food was great and we would have missed it a lot.

Very tasty food. Staff friendly

A great restaurant, warm hospitality, great outdoor area, tasty food, highly recommended.

A small family-run restaurant. The food is very tasty and the service is very nice.

Very well prepared rump steak with fried potatoes. Very friendly staff.

We visited the restaurant one weekend afternoon. There is free parking nearby. The service was friendly and the food was served quickly. The meat was nice and tender and tasty. The good impression was marred by three dogs with different owners in the large hall. In my opinion, dogs have no place in the interior of a dining room and that's how it stays on this one visit.

Super delicious, rich and incredibly nice service.

Very nice staff, quickly delivered, very tasty food. Large portions and a small nightcap at the end. We recommend. We'd love to come back

We stayed in a hotel in Kiel and had dinner there twice, very tasty food. We'd love to come back!

Visit on 04/27/24 It's a shame that when you order a dish you can't unsubscribe from the side dish. Not everyone likes everything. Statement from the kitchen: “We won’t do that” (I find it more than cheeky) The plates are given out as they appear on the menu, NO changes are accepted (ridiculous and inflexible) The second thing was awesome, I wanted to order the hot sauce for myself at home Waiter's statement: “The kitchen not only allows this if I order a complete dish, I can also order the sauce” (is that still possible?!) The third hammer: The restaurant is open until 10 p.m., we were the last guests around 9 p.m. and were kicked out by turning off the music and clearing and cleaning the tables around us. Sorry, I can't recommend this place at all. I often go out to eat, but I've never experienced anything so bold. The statements and the execution of the restaurant don't work at all. I have to give one star so that I can write something about it. Unfortunately, 0 stars is the reality in this case.

Delicious food and nice service. Cozy restaurant, in summer you can sit on the terrace.

The food was very tasty and the service was also more than satisfactory/very attentive. Dalmacija is one of the best restaurants in Kiel. We will be back definitely

We have been there so many times and we can only recommend everything so well

Great family restaurant. The service was terrific!

All great service! Food and ambience. Price performance anyway

Solid food, super nice and relaxed staff. Worth a detour.

Very courteous waiter, Very familiar. Food was top. Price performance unbeatable. Gladly again.

Delicious food and good service

A solid, popular restaurant with a good food and drink menu

Food very good and always 1 to 1, no different quality. Mom does a good job in the kitchen. Steffan and Olli are always very nice to us

I picked out the restaurant on Google Maps for my work colleagues and I and I have to say it was a good choice. The food was very tasty and the service was just super friendly and attentive. We had a fantastic evening there and are already planning our next visit. Simply because I forgot my umbrella at your place😅 P.S. Also try the chocolate ice cream and the cappuccino 👍😄 I'm looking forward to it again. So see you soon

We have been visiting the restaurant for years and always receive very good and friendly service. The food is excellent and the portions are large. Our 🐕 is allowed to come along and even gets a water bowl. When the weather is warm, the beer garden is ideal and very well attended. We would like to come again.

It's a shame that you have to find out from a note in the window that the restaurant is permanently closed. No announcement, no message on the homepage, nothing anywhere. Very bad for long-time guests. Unfortunately, an indictment!

Sehr gute Küche. Netter Service. Immer wieder gerne. Leider jetzt dauerhaft geschlossen.

We always felt very comfortable there. The food was also very tasty. It's a shame that they didn't even tell their regulars that they were closing...they tried to call several times...

Fantastic value for money, delicious food, large portions at moderate prices. Very nice, well-kept and green terrace. Update: According to a friend, the restaurant has unfortunately been permanently closed since Christmas 2023.

Such a lovely restaurant with delicious food in great company. Unfortunately I learned about it too late. I wish the owners all the best for the future, especially health and a long life

Ältere urigere Gaststätte :). Wir waren von der Arbeit aus dort. Alle hatten gleichzeitig ihr Essen und es war sehr lecker und die Portionen groß. Man kann auch kleine Portionen wählen. Der Service hat sich auch Mühe gegeben :). Preise sind auch vollkommen in Ordnung.

Top Bedienung! Der Empfehlung des Hauses sind wir gerne nachgekommen und haben es nicht eine Sekunde bereut! Die Portionen sind klasse, die Wartezeit angemessen und der Preis stimmt auch. Auch vom Salat wird man satt. Das Ambiente ist typisch, bürgerlich und jetzt im Winter mit dem großen Kamin sehr gemütlich. Wir sind alle satt geworden und kommen wirklich gerne wieder!

Einfach sehr sehr lecker. Preis Leistung ist sehr gut und das Essen einfach lecker. Kommen gerne wieder.

Ich war geschäflich in Kiel und habe hier abends gegessen. Das Essen war erinwandfrei, sehr lecker und die Preise sind aus meiner Sicht zivil. Die Bewirtung war ausgezeichnet. Ich habe nach dem Essen ein längeres "Schwätzchen" mit dem Wirt gehalten. EIn wirklich netter und angenehmer Mensch. Ich kann dieses Restaurant uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und plane auch bei meinem nächsten Besuch in Kiel wieder hier hin zu kommen. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend.

Sehr leckeres Essen und netter Service. Super Parkmöglichkeiten.

Grillteller eigentlich in Ordnung, ausser das Nacken Steak war nur voller Fett das mir fast Schlecht wurde. Aber ansonsten kann man da ganz gut Essen wenn man Sachen mag die nicht ganz durch sind.

War mit meiner Freundin essen und wir haben noch nie so gut gegessen. In Hannover haben leider alle guten zu gemacht. Um es kurz zu halten Nette Bedienung, gute essen und toller Laden. Wir kommen beim nächsten kiel Besuch wieder.

Es war mega lecker wir kommen definitiv wieder aus Hannover ☺👍

Lecker. Schöne Terrasse im Garten.

Sehr gutes Essen und ein sehr guter Service zu einem Klasse Preis. Portionen waren sehr groß und schmackhaft. Es empfiehlt sich vorher zu reservieren da das Lokal sehr gut besucht ist. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder hier Essen gehen.

Mehr Dessert Angebote sind wünschenswert.

Sehr sehr gutes Essen und nettes Personal macht weiter so

Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal essen, aber keinesfalls zum letzten Mal. Der Biergarten ist gemütlich, der Service freundlich und das Essen war sehr lecker, Preis/Leistungsverhältnis super, danke

War sehr lecker dort. Die Preise wind absolut OK.

Wir waren gestern mit sieben Personen im Dalmacia. Super nette und aufmerksame Bedienung. Essen gut und reichlich. Jeder von uns hatte ein anderes Gericht. Wir waren alle sehr zufrieden. Gutes Preis- Leistungs- Verhältnis. Leider mussten wir den gemütlichen Biergarten verlassen, weil zwei Freundinnen eine Bienenphobie haben. Kein Problem! Okay, watum die Beilagen nicht getauscht werden können, kann ich auch nicht verstehen. Da wir nicht wussten, wie scharf die rote Soße ist, wurden uns zwei Schälchen zum probieren hingestellt. Ebenso zwei mit Tsatsiki. Fazit: Immet wieder gerne!

Sehr oft sind wir dort. Immer lecker , immer toll , wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen mit sehr netter Bedienung! Einfach Klasse!

Hyggelig atmosfære og god service. Mye og god mat for pengene

Fleisch war fade , Leber sehnig und das hacksteak nicht durch gebraten ! War sehr enttäuschend und leider nicht weiter zu empfehlen

Besser geht es nicht am heutigen Tag. Wir verkehren seit gut 30 Jahren unregelmäßig hier, hin und wieder gab es auch mal was zu nörgeln, ist doch normal. Es zählt eben das ist und heute.

Sehr gute Küche. Eher traditionell - kein chichi: angenehme Atmosphäre! Sehr freundlich und aufmerksames Personal! Angemessene Preise! Bei gutem Wetter im Biergarten. Fazit: Top! Wir kommen wieder :-)

Gemütliches kleines Lokal mit guter Küche. Am Wochenende sollte man auf jeden Fall reservieren. Wir waren Mittwochs da und haben ohne Probleme einen Platz bekommen. Esse ist gut und es gab sogar Sauerfleisch, welches durchaus nicht zur kroatischen Küche gehört, welches aber sehr lecker war. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr guter Kroate, gutes Essebmn, netter Service und schöner überdachter Außenbereich.

The service was friendly and quick. The tables on the terrace were clean. The portions were generous and not pricey. However, I would have expected the food to be a bit more spicy. There was sadly not much taste to the Croatian dishes.

Wie immer reichlich Essen auf dem Teller. Ein großes Lob an die Küche 👍. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke an den Chef und dem Service.

Super Restaurant. Immer wieder gerne.

Ich war heute mit zwei Freunden hier zum Mittagessen. Alles sehr sauber, flotter Service, faire Preise, zahlreiche Parkplätze gleich gegenüber, alles sehr zu empfehlen!

Soweit so gut... aber es läßt stark nach Portionen werden merklich kleiner, telefonische Bestellungen werden des öfteren abgewiesen mit der Aussage das man Voll sei... Ok wenn Sie es sich in der heutigen Lage leisten können...Ich werde deutlichen Abstand zu diesen Restaurant nehmen. Sorry aber so geht man mit langjährigen Stammgästen nicht um...Schade

Bedienung unfreundlich, Essen ok. Beilagen dürfen nicht mehr getauscht werden. Z.B Pommes statt Bratkartoffeln. Es war mal gut, hat sich extrem verschlechtert.

Wir sind immer sehr gern zum Essen hier gewesen, sind aber gestern enttäuscht worden, weil es mit einmal heißt, man kann keine Änderungen am Menü bzgl. der Beilagen vornehmen. Wir haben anstatt des Reis und der Pommes gern mal Bratkartoffeln genommen. Tauschen kann ich dies nicht mehr, aber zusätzlich Bratkartoffeln bestellen, begründet wird dies mit Personalmangel. Kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, denn es ist auch nicht mehr Personal da, wenn ich die Bratkartoffeln zusätzlich bestelle. Dafür bleibt dann von den nichtgewollten Beilagen viel übrig, was entsorgt werden muss. Finde ich nicht sehr effizient.

Das Essen war ein voll Katastrophe. Weder meiner Partnerin noch mir hat das Essen geschmeckt. Manchmal fragen wir uns, woher immer diese super Bewertung kommen! Nach einem Hinweis an den Kellner, dass das Essen nicht schmeckt, meinte dieser, das sie das Essen immer so machen 😩 Das Fleisch war nicht heiß, es schmeckte wie aus der Mikrowelle. Selten so schlechtes Fleisch gegessen.☹️
