Ellas - Griechisches Restaurant in Eutin

Great food at a fair price. Although it's a buffet, everything is brought to your table.

Delicious and huge portions thanks to the all-you-can-eat option! Brilliant idea, and the price and quality are fantastic. It's a shame Eutin is so far away for me. Absolutely worth a visit, I'll definitely be back.

Incredibly courteous and friendly, and the food was superb from the appetizer to the dessert.

We had a reservation for two people at this Greek "all you can eat" restaurant for 6:00 PM (ordering from the menu). Right from the start, we were informed that the reservation was only valid from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Our drink order wasn't taken until around 6:30 PM, but the drinks didn't arrive until 7:00 PM. The food order was also delayed, and only after we asked when we could even order. The food finally arrived around 7:30 PM. For an "all you can eat" concept limited to two hours, this is simply unacceptable. There's practically no time left to actually take advantage of the offer. My food was okay in terms of taste, 7 out of 10. That wasn't the problem. The issue was clearly the organization. The restaurant was in complete chaos. The staff seemed totally overwhelmed, running around aimlessly with plates and drinks, without any structure or discernible procedures. One of the staff members was in a very bad mood; you felt like you weren't allowed to ask any questions. At the next table, young guests were complaining because they had been waiting for almost three hours and still hadn't received their food. Instead of reacting professionally and de-escalating the situation, the manager came over and argued with the guests. A manager should intervene calmly in such a situation and offer a solution, not argue with paying customers. This behavior was unprofessional and further reinforced the already negative impression. Two stars, and that's only because the food tasted relatively okay. Overall, a disappointing visit. The food was okay, but the service and organization were unfortunately lacking. Not recommended.

"All you can eat" This was our first time here, and there's definitely room for improvement with the food and service. (The food was lukewarm.) And with the service, (Uniforms and focused work would be nice.) But everyone gets a second chance, and I/we hope things will improve.

After years, we went here again for lunch. It was freezing cold in the place, and instead of pleasant Greek music, we were serenaded by an ice cream machine right by the entrance with its very loud noises. There were seven people in the restaurant. The counter was piled high with glasses, cups, trash, and old, stiff, musty cleaning rags. The waitresses, two young, unenthusiastic men, handed us menus without explaining the "all you can eat" concept. Then there was cheap apple spritzer that was so flat it didn't have a single bubble of carbonation. The shandy was the same. The food took forever. The souvlaki was perfectly fine, but my husband's Metaxa sauce was so runny and served with a meatball that had been cut multiple times, was dry, and burnt on the outside. 😕 In addition to the whirring of the ice machine, there were construction noises, shouting, and general commotion coming from the kitchen. The two completely unenthusiastic guys had putty knives or paint all over their clothes and hands. They were apparently juggling cooking meat and plastering walls. Everything was very unprofessional; we felt uncomfortable, and my 11-year-old daughter asked us never to eat there again. I promised her that. 😏

It was our first time there, and the food was great and the staff friendly. The value for money was unbeatable. We'll be back. The only downside was that it was very cramped and noisy.

We took advantage of the all-you-can-eat offer. The food was good, but the service didn't live up to it. We had to wait a long time for our food, an appetizer was forgotten, empty plates weren't cleared, we had to get our own condiment shakers after asking unsuccessfully, and unfortunately, some of the staff members we asked didn't understand us. So we probably won't be visiting this restaurant again anytime soon.

Highly recommended! Excellent service, constant check-ins to see if everything was alright, very pleasant... and above all, super delicious 🤤

We were very satisfied that evening. We were served promptly and the food arrived at good intervals. We were there at 4:00 PM and it was still very empty. We deducted one star for the ambiance because Greek music was missing.

We had reserved a table for Valentine's Day and arrived at the restaurant at our agreed time. Unfortunately, the entire process was very chaotic and disorganized. Despite our reservation, we had to wait for about half an hour in the entrance area, as the restaurant was already completely full. After a considerable wait, we were finally told that we should join two strangers at a table. This felt very inappropriate, especially on an occasion like Valentine's Day, when you want to spend quality time together. When you reserve a table in advance, you expect it to be scheduled and held accordingly. Overall, the staff seemed overwhelmed, which was reflected in both their organization and communication. Sadly, this experience negatively impacted the entire evening and in no way met the expectations one has for a reservation for a special occasion.

I rarely give bad reviews, but this one deserves it. We had reserved a table for 7:30 pm until closing time, but that wasn't possible; we were supposed to leave our table again at 8:30 pm. So, an hour just to order and eat – unacceptable! After waiting, a solution was found, and we finally got our table. After ordering, it took forever, even after asking, because other tables that had ordered after us had already received their food. Then our appetizer finally arrived, followed immediately by the main course – also not good. The spaghetti with tomato sauce was just spaghetti with tomato water, completely tasteless. As a replacement, we ordered fish sticks, which were apparently only briefly pan-fried/fried; they were raw inside and ice cold – absolutely unacceptable. For dessert, we ordered Greek yogurt three times, but what we received was a lumpy, rancid, and sour mess that's inedible unless you want food poisoning. We will NEVER eat there again. We're still considering whether we should send the health department there.

We've been there twice now. The first time, we had reserved a table for eight people at 6 pm. When we arrived, we were told that no table had been reserved and that since the restaurant was full, they had no room for us. We were told to come back at 8:30 pm. After a lengthy discussion and unfortunately no suggestions for a solution from the staff, we were asked if we were sure we had called the right restaurant. After standing our ground for half an hour, we were finally shown to a table. The food was tasty, but unfortunately, the service was very chaotic. We frequently had to ask where certain dishes or drinks were, or we were brought food that we hadn't ordered. We weren't thrilled, but we thought perhaps it was just a one-off and wanted to give it another chance. So we did. We reserved a table again, this time playing it safe and double-checking that everything was in order. We were given two options: a table from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm or from 7:30 pm onwards. Since we wanted to eat in peace and quiet, without any time pressure, we chose 7:30 pm. When we arrived on the appointed day, the reservation worked this time, but the first question was whether we could manage to eat by 8:30 pm because they needed the table again then. At that point, I was truly speechless and made it clear that I had specifically chosen that time to avoid any time stress. After 10 minutes, we were finally shown to our table, which hadn't even been cleared. We then ordered an appetizer and a main course. After 45 minutes, a server asked if everything was alright or if we wanted to order anything else. When we told her that we were still waiting for our appetizer, she went to check, and suddenly the main course and the appetizer arrived together. But the worst was yet to come. My son ordered the fish sticks, took the first bite, looked at me, and said they were cold. Yes, they were really cold, barely warm on the outside and just thawed and completely raw on the inside. So my child only ate fries because they lost their appetite afterward and didn't want to order anything else, since the rest of us had finished eating. We then ordered Greek yogurt with honey for dessert, and when it arrived, we were completely done for. It was immediately obvious that all three portions were lumpy and practically running off the plate. We really wanted to give this place a chance, but for me, it's simply unacceptable. Never again.

The food was fantastic. Delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff was quite attentive, even though we waited over 15 minutes for a small bowl of tzatziki. Unfortunately, it was quite loud and lacked typical background music; instead, the lighting was flashing wildly, like in a disco. The ambiance could definitely use some improvement, then it would be perfect.

The food there is absolutely delicious, highly recommended!

Amazing concept, delicious food! Highly recommended!

A decent Greek restaurant. All you can eat for just under €21 including soft drinks, appetizers, dessert, and everything else… alcoholic drinks are very reasonably priced. The waiters are really nice, but not exactly professionals… food always takes a while. On weekends, it's incredibly crowded, loud, and chaotic. We were there for the second time today and will definitely come again.

We opted for the all-you-can-eat and drink option and were very satisfied. The food was delicious. Because the restaurant is packed every day, it's a bit noisy. The price is very reasonable.

A strange "all you can eat" concept. You order one complete dish, then the next, and so on. Each dish is a normal-sized portion. While we were there, large amounts of food were left behind at almost every table because people wanted to try something else. (It was "all you can eat," after all 🫣) Our request for smaller portions was ignored. Is this how you treat food?? Aside from that: The rice was cold, the gyros and fries were lukewarm and oversalted. On the plus side: The salad bar was tasty. Otherwise: We wouldn't recommend it. 👎

The all-you-can-eat menu was delicious for the second time.

A truly fantastic offer. I hadn't expected it to live up to these expectations. We'd love to come back.

Amazing food! Superb service, I highly recommend it! Rontik and Werschan were especially great! ☺️

Update January 22, 2026 They now offer an all-you-can-eat deal. The prices are amazing. A fantastic restaurant. Very friendly staff, really delicious food. The portions are huge (my weight gain isn't accidental, but I couldn't finish it). We'll definitely be back.

Delicious large portions, great staff

An average Greek restaurant. The portions are filling, but the taste is mediocre and, compared to other Greek restaurants, rather below average. I would give it 2.7 stars overall. However, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

We are absolutely thrilled! 😁 Very friendly staff 👍 Great food, wonderful atmosphere. We always love coming back. I would give more than 5 stars ☺️🌟

Food was great and plentiful, but service needs improvement.

This was our second visit. And to put it simply, it's absolutely perfect. Delicious food, great service. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Thumbs up!

We had the "ALL YOU CAN EAT" option. There's nothing to complain about there. Good selection of food and drinks. Everything was included. Beer and alcoholic drinks had to be paid for separately. But the prices were great; a large beer was under €2.50 – amazing! The service was super attentive and friendly. The only thing was that the Gigantis beans were a bit too hard for my taste, but they were wonderfully seasoned. The main course, liver and gyros, was simply fantastic.

Great food with top-notch service! Very friendly staff! All-you-can-eat including wine at an unbeatable price!

The food is very tasty. The portion sizes on the buffet plates are too large.

Absolutely world-class, the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is superb; we will gladly come again.

Everything was great, the food was delicious and plentiful.

A fantastic all-you-can-eat and drink offer. This isn't a buffet – you order your food, and it's freshly prepared in the kitchen. The small portions are perfectly adequate, allowing you to try several dishes (if you can manage it all) or even enjoy multiple appetizers or desserts. The service is very polite, friendly, and attentive. We didn't have a reservation (for the evening), but we were seated immediately. The restaurant is always busy, so I would recommend making a reservation.

All you can eat... Great deal, very tasty, nicely presented, drinks are okay, the place is simple but good. The staff are friendly and helpful, all the family members pitch in, it could be a bit more welcoming. We'll gladly come again.

Everything was great, the service was friendly and we had a lot of fun.

It's a shame, the food is really delicious, but the service here is incredibly disorganized. The team is young, but unfortunately they haven't yet developed a broader perspective; the overall experience is lacking. Tables are reserved, but there isn't enough cutlery or menus on the tables! It takes forever to order!

The service was overwhelmed. You get the urge to clear the table yourself and take over the service. The quality of the food was unfortunately inadequate.

Affordable and delicious food, very friendly staff. Especially since they introduced all-you-can-eat, it's definitely worth eating here every now and then.

The price and quality are excellent. Even if there's an occasional incorrect delivery, it doesn't detract from the overall great experience. The staff is always very friendly, and the food is delicious.

We reserved a table by phone well in advance and requested one in the back. Instead, we were sent to a terribly uncomfortable tent outside, which had apparently been hastily erected before Christmas to accommodate as many people as possible. Somehow, a table was quickly cleared for us inside the restaurant. We received the relatively new eat-and-drink menu and ordered from it. Unfortunately, we had to wait a full 1.5 hours for our appetizer and another hour for our main course. The restaurant was packed, so packed that conversation was impossible. The staff was extremely overwhelmed and couldn't keep up; the guests were annoyed, and items were constantly missing from orders. On Christmas Day, a restaurant should be better prepared, especially regarding reservations. We've eaten here several times before, but this was the last time. It seems to be all about quantity, which is very disappointing. Often, less is more.

It was very crowded at Christmas. Long wait for food (>30 min). Noise level was correspondingly high. Tables weren't cleared. But it runs quite well under normal circumstances.

It was very tasty, we'd love to come again.

This is a beautiful place, thank you so much for everything, and the hospitality here is top-notch, thank you!

This place is simply amazing 🤩🤩 Great food, great staff

Tastes good, everything is friendly

Incredibly good value for money. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening and the delicious food.

We were here for the first time today. There were two of us, and we ordered from the all-you-can-eat menu. The appetizers were great, the main courses were so-so. The gyros was tasteless, but the liver was very good. The service was excellent. We'll come back, but next time we won't order the gyros.

Efficient staff, who often avoid eye contact with customers, increase the effective waiting time (1.5 hours 😴). Ordered appetizers arrive as dessert or after asking three times. Waiter attention is practically nonexistent; empty glasses and plates go unnoticed. Anyone who has "almost finished" these oversized dishes should ask for a bottle of mineral water, as MSG and similar flavor enhancers will linger long after the meal. Quality and smaller portions are more sustainable, but for "members of a throwaway society," this is exactly the right choice. We need more sensitivity here, not a food court where you finally manage to leave after more than three hours.

Excellent value for money €20.90 for all you can eat

The food is okay. After the first food order, the second one either doesn't arrive at all or arrives more than an hour later.

Honestly, I don't know where to begin. I'll try to summarize everything in detail. It started with the reservation. We booked a table for 6:00 PM, but weren't shown to our table until around 6:15 PM. None of the young staff seemed to have any idea what was going on; the place was packed and chaotic. Then we waited about 15 minutes for our drink orders to be taken. We ordered everything right away, though, because we suspected we'd have to spend the night there otherwise. The appetizers arrived about 50 minutes later, and the main course another 25 minutes or so. It's also worth mentioning that one of our main courses was forgotten. It arrived another 15 minutes late, but we were given a bottle of wine as compensation. In total, we were in the restaurant for over two and a half hours. The orders were all mixed up; we received food and drinks we hadn't ordered. There wasn't much positive to say about the food: the souvlaki and chicken were perfectly fine, but the gyros with Metaxa was very bland and didn't really have much to do with Metaxa. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, even though the price is very low. At that price, you have to make compromises, of course, but you can at least expect a little professionalism. However, I must say that the staff, even though they were completely overwhelmed, always remained friendly and polite.

Unfortunately, I cannot understand the positive reviews at all. The food was mediocre. However, what was absolutely unacceptable for us was having to wait 45 minutes for drinks and considerably longer for the food. We were there for two and a half hours and spent most of that time waiting. A Coke we ordered was served just before we left. Everything was very hectic and disorganized. In short: It's better to spend more money and enjoy a relaxed and delicious meal without the hassle and long wait.

We went there on a recommendation and it was simply delicious! 😘 All you can eat... amazing! ...but you should order small portions. The staff were super friendly 😃👍 and very attentive. And you should definitely make a reservation.

We love coming here. The staff is super friendly and children are welcome too. We'll definitely be back.

Unfortunately, very disappointing... the bread was unbaked, the fries tasted like old grease, and the service never came to our table. The verdict after eating: my partner and I both have stomach aches. Never again!

Despite having a reservation, we were given a very noisy table near the entrance. But... the "all you can eat" meal was absolutely fantastic! You could order whatever you wanted, and the food was incredibly delicious. The waiters were really busy, but the food and drinks arrived promptly. We were completely thrilled and got everything we could have wished for. Thanks also to the friendly waiter who delighted us with the delicious ouzo. In short, we had a wonderful evening with excellent food and drinks. Thank you to all the waiters; your service is incredible! We'll definitely be back, even though it's a bit of a drive. Best regards from Ratzeburg, and thank you for the wonderful evening.

All you can eat and drink (non-alcoholic and wine) for €20.90! The gyros is incredibly tender, as is the liver, and both are deliciously seasoned. We had saganaki as a starter, which was also perfect. Very friendly service. Everything was great. Thank you!

The first Greek restaurant I've been to that isn't Greek-run. They offered an all-you-can-eat option or à la carte. The service was a bit overwhelmed at times. Several tables without reservations had to be moved because people with reservations suddenly arrived at those tables. This could definitely be better organized. The food was good. The alcoholic mixed drinks were so-so. Other drinks were okay. For the price of the all-you-can-eat offer, it was great. I would have been a little disappointed with the à la carte option.

I am absolutely impressed by the friendliness and service. The food is delicious and the service is perfect. This is exactly how I want to be as a guest. Highly recommended.

The all-you-can-eat buffet was delicious, and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, there were long wait times (but the place was also very busy). We will definitely come back again :)

We'll keep coming back as long as we're in Eutin, thanks Siegfried with family and friends 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The food tasted good and was plentiful.

If you want an exceptional buffet, bring your appetite. Portions were large and delicious.

Very friendly service and nice people. The food was delicious. We booked shortly beforehand and everything went smoothly. They have an offer until April: All you can eat, all you can drink for €20.90. We took full advantage of it. It was very tasty.

I was absolutely thrilled! This restaurant is outstanding in every way. The food was fresh, incredibly delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, friendly, and always cheerful – you feel completely at ease. The ambiance is also very cozy and stylish, allowing you to relax immediately. The value for money is also excellent. I will definitely be back and can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

Great food, super friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Friendly young team. Delicious food, reasonably priced.

Unbeatable all-you-can-eat off-season offer for locals.

Everything was great, the food was top-notch, and the service was excellent.

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food is plentiful and beautifully presented. We had the "all you can eat" buffet. It's a buffet where the food isn't left out for ages, but is freshly prepared to order and brought to the table.

A very nice establishment, very delicious food, friendly service, I'll be back! 👍

We took advantage of the all-you-can-eat option. The price-performance ratio was excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of food and drink, and the selection was extensive!

Highly recommended! We went to Ella's for the all-you-can-eat-and-drink special – and let me tell you, if Zeus himself hadn't carried us home, we'd still be rolling around the restaurant today. The portions? Mythical! The ouzo? Liquid bliss! After the third helping, we seriously considered applying for sponsorship for our stomachs.

Delicious food and friendly staff We'll be back

Sorry, I very rarely give bad reviews, practically never. But this place was just not good. The food was okay, but nothing special. We had a reservation for six people, but first there was no table for us, and then we were kind of stuck in the middle of the aisle. Two dishes were completely forgotten and arrived later. But only one of them came at first. The second dish was forgotten again. There was no bread left, and instead of bread with tzatziki, they just carelessly put fries on the table. Every few minutes, one of the waiters came to the table and said, "Drinks?" That was all they said. Three of our first six drinks were also wrong. So, go somewhere else. It's not worth it here. The price was okay, though: €20.90 for all you can eat and drink. But I'd rather spend a little more and get something decent. Sorry.

The food is very good and the service is very friendly, and the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink offer is simply fantastic – it's the first time I've seen anything like this at a Greek restaurant! Honestly! ❤️

If you're looking to devour really large portions, this is the place for you. No one leaves here hungry.

After we were seated, we weren't asked if we understood the menu for about 15 minutes, and then another 10 minutes later for our drink orders. The drinks themselves didn't arrive for another 15 minutes. While the wait for the food was somewhat shorter, the main course was extremely disappointing: the meat was burnt and tough, and the fries were cold. We then had to wait another 45 minutes for dessert. Towards the end of the evening, no one came to our table at all, even though several guests – including us – hadn't ordered drinks. Despite the advertised closing time of 10:00 p.m., by 9:20 p.m. all the staff were gathered at the other end of the restaurant with backpacks, clearly waiting to close for the day.

The staff has unfortunately declined significantly. I saw that everyone was only wearing street clothes or tracksuits to work. The staff also seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than serving the guests. There was far too much cumin in the food; I had to leave it. We were quite disappointed and hope for a swift improvement, especially regarding the staff!

The food is good, but everything else can be forgotten!

The service was so lovely, we really enjoyed it. Everything was delicious and plentiful.

Very friendly staff; they provided friendly and understandable answers to questions. Everything was very pleasant!

Very crowded. Everyone is friendly and trying their best. It's a Greek restaurant, not the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

Delicious Greek food with good cuisine and good ouzo

We were there for the first time and the last. We were a group of six and waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. Then we got cold rice and the meat was so overcooked it was inedible. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes to pay. Absolutely unacceptable.

The food was very good. We'll definitely be back.

The service was incredibly friendly and attentive; we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding: fresh and authentically Greek, just as you'd expect. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting, encouraging you to linger and enjoy the evening. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back! 🇬🇷✨

Delicious all-inclusive food including drinks. Portions can also be ordered in smaller sizes, allowing you to try several dishes.

A "classic Greek" restaurant with a menu tailored to German tastes. Mountains of meat with standard names like "Hermes Platter" or "Athens Platter" with rice and fries—the kind you'd find at a thousand other "Greek" restaurants. The service is sometimes a bit chaotic and disorganized, but always friendly. If something gets messed up, at least you get a mea culpa and an ouzo. The food is mid-range Greek fare. Tasty, but nothing special. Since the pandemic, you can also sit outside on the sidewalk while the traffic whizzes by. Well, it's nicer inside, in my opinion. Overall, it's perfectly acceptable if you don't hold the fussy waitresses against you. It's a decent place to stop in and get what you'd expect from a Greek restaurant in Germany. (That is, if you get what you ordered...)

Excellent service and delicious food. We had the all-you-can-eat option and were thrilled with the value for money. We were regularly asked if we needed more drinks. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The portions were more than generous and tasted fantastic. We will definitely be back! Tip: Always make a reservation.

I went there for the first time today. It was my first time eating all-you-can-eat at a Greek restaurant. We shared the appetizer platter. I was actually already full from that. I unsuccessfully tried to order a portion of gyros with Metaxa sauce and fries. My conclusion: The trip from Lübeck was worth it. I'll definitely be back! 👍

We ate there earlier, the food was delicious, absolutely scrumptious! We were very satisfied and very happy with the selection – simply superb! Especially the service: we received a complimentary bottle of ouzo. We were thrilled and thanked them profusely. We will definitely be back! 😋🥂

A really great place, we are very satisfied, the service was superb, we were very surprised by the selection, simply fantastic! We can highly recommend it 😃👏🏽

Very good restaurant, the food tasted delicious, I recommend going there.

The best Greek restaurant I know. The quality is superb, and the prices are going down with the new all-you-can-eat offer, while other restaurants are constantly raising their prices. Amazing, thank you!

The food here is excellent and the price is absolutely reasonable. We were greeted with a small schnapps by the very friendly staff. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, and the tableware is lovely and a nice change from what you'd expect. We will definitely eat here again.

Very friendly service. All-you-can-eat for €20.90, including drinks except beer. The food was very tasty and plentiful.

Everything was great, the all-you-can-eat option is unbeatable; the best Greek restaurant in Eutin and the surrounding area!

Very good restaurant because of chef
