Ellin Original Greek I Griechisches Restaurant in Mannheim in Mannheim

Ich war am 16.11.2024 mit meiner Freundin zum Abendessen hier. Ich habe Gyrosteller bestellt. Das Fleisch war kalt und alt und hinzu kamm der Schweinespieß total nach verdorbenen Fleisch aus der Mülltonne gestunken hat. Als ich die Bedienung darauf angesprochen habe,wurde er sehr frech. Hier wird altes verdorbenes Fleisch dem Kunde serviert,alles wird lieblos auf dem Teller serviert. Die Bedienung ist frech und unhöflich Das war unser letze Besuch in diesem Resturant

"Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant was very disappointing. The taste of the food was not at all convincing - carelessly prepared and far from authentic Greek cuisine. To make matters worse, some of the food was even raw! When we mentioned this to the staff, we were simply told That's how it should be. This reaction was not only unprofessional, but also disrespectful. The staff was extremely inattentive and seemed to have no interest in the guests. We had to wait forever for someone to come to the table Overall we didn't feel welcome, but we definitely won't be coming back."

A nice cozy Greek restaurant. The starters and main courses was great. The atmosphere was really great. A must-visit if you are a fan of Greek cuisine.

The food is very tasty! What is special, however, is the ambience: there are tablecloths, the plates are stylishly arranged and the restaurant has enough space, is beautifully decorated and is pleasantly quiet, so you can have a good conversation! This makes this restaurant stand out among the restaurants in Mannheim, which are often loud and styleless. Suitable for celebrations with friends and family!

Can't really comment on the food, but have been here for drinks two evenings now. We were served extremely friendly and courteously. We got dessert on the house on the second evening, which was delicious. Overall, a clear recommendation! Great service, great emphasis on cleanliness and customer requests.

Not recommended. The service is bad, when the restaurant is crowded. The food does not come together, so half of the people have to wait 20‘ while the other half is eating. Many things are clearly frozen (suzuki, squid, sausage) and not even warmed up well, they came almost cold to the table. Prices are very high for this quality. Doing you want traditional Greek food…go somewhere else

It was my first time here for ArtNight and everyone was greeted very warmly. However, the good smell whetted our appetite, so my colleague and I decided to have a tasty snack afterwards. Happy for both again!

Extremely unfriendly, even aggressive waitress towards children. We arrived just as she was aggressively treating both our children and us. Very bad experience with service. I will not come to this restaurant again!

I was hoping for more, but it didn't blow me away. The 🍅sauce was very tasty.

We had “Cretan salad” as a starter and “ox skewer” and “Ellin burger” as our main course. Everything was very very tasty.

Es sollte ein "Eventabend" mit griechischem Wein und Büffet sein. Es wurde ein große Enttäuschung für uns. Zu teuer und zu schlecht dazu noch einen furchtbaren Service durch Aushilfskräfte. Über einen richtigen und erfahrenen Koch scheint dieses Lokal nicht zu verfügen. Die Speisen wurden alle unschön auf die Teller geklatscht.

It's nice to have something Greek abroad!!!

Super great restaurant. Nice staff, large portions and great selection! Simply delicious - especially the baked feta as a starter is highly recommended. Will come back anytime☺️

Very nice restaurant. The chairs are comfortable and invite you to linger. It's chic. Tables are decorated with white tablecloth. The only thing that bothered me was that the napkins were made of paper. If you already have a tablecloth, then “real” napkins are also a good idea. The meat and gyros were fried to perfection and the fries are the best. Tzatziki was good but not enough garlic for my taste. On the whole, however, the food was really good and, above all, plentiful. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Super delicious food, very nice staff and a nice atmosphere. It is and remains my favorite restaurant 😋

Service was attentive and friendly, but only 3 stars for the food because it just didn't suit my taste. Had the gyro plate and the pepperoni as a starter. The pepperoni was okay but I didn't need the white sauce on it. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, but the meat was mostly dry and the skewer had a flavor that I didn't like. Unfortunately I didn't like the tzatziki either. The salad dressing for the side salad tasted almost exclusively of mayonnaise.

Excellent place, very clean shop with a very tasty and rich menu. The service was very good and the waitress who served us was polite and very friendly. The impressions from this particular shop are the best, I recommend it without reservation.

The food was really fatty and too salty. Even a kebab that costs €6 isn't even that fat. The waitress wasn't in the mood and was really cheeky the whole time. In the end she just said: PAY HERE, bye. And left, we felt like we had done something to her. Every time she came to us she was cheeky. Not recommended 👎🏻

Real Greek cuisine, very well implemented, friendly and attentive service.

When we arrived, the employees already looked annoyed/stressed. My chicken steak was really good, but the gyro with metaxa and cheese gratin was a disaster. Contains a lot of cartilage, which is actually only the case with frozen gyros from the supermarket. A little too dry although you think Metaxa sauce would be there. Then the small portion for 20€? Often, my trusted Greek restaurant offers a double portion and is cheaper. However, I wouldn't come back for that reason.

The food was delicious, the service was very nice. Price performance was okay. I can recommend 👍

Highly recommended. There is very good food and friendly hospitality here. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and even at late times.

Super delicious food, excellent service, good quality! Great value for money! Absolutely recommended!

I can't understand all the positive feedback here. We were here as part of Artnight. Even the preparation of the drinks caused the service to be in a bad mood and overwhelmed. Unfortunately, the food wasn't convincing either. Price-performance doesn't match. I cannot recommend the restaurant.

Average Greek with classic preparation. If you don't like hearty and oily foods, this would be wrong. Ambiance and service is very good.

For me the restaurant deserves 5 stars.

Eaten deliciously. Mixed starter platter highly recommended!

I had reserved in advance for 10 people. When I entered, I immediately noticed the tables beautifully set with white tablecloths. However, we didn't get such a table, but a wooden table at the very back, in the cracks of which there were leftovers from previous meals. The waitress took a long time and barely had time to take the order. By the time we had the drinks, 30 minutes had already passed. The food was good (except for the starter platter ordered as the main course, which was obviously partially heated in the microwave). The drinks were not placed directly at the guest, but at the narrow edge of the table, so we had to pass them through ourselves. Conclusion: delicious food. There is still room for improvement in the service.

😡😡😡😡 You have to wait a long time

The food was very tasty. The restaurant is also well maintained. Unfortunately, the service was a bit hectic at first and a bit overwhelmed by the size of our group.

The table wasn't completely clean, the bench was too far away from the table. The service was completely overwhelmed and very incompetent. The wrong food came several times, something didn't come at all, a dish came way too early and questions were not understood or not answered. Not unfriendly. The food was very good but comparatively expensive.

Food tastes mediocre Service, yeah Ambiance OK What's really bad for me is that I was there with my family and we ordered a lot and ended up paying extra for bread. Paid without saying anything but I certainly won't book a table there again.

I had a good time in this restaurant, food was excellent, service was brilliant and high recommend.

The restaurant seems so inconspicuous and you don't expect anything special at first. But then you will be taught better. The service was really very friendly and attentive. Greek music was played and the waitress also had a Greek accent, which really created a good overall impression. Table, cutlery and toilets were clean. The food tasted really good and the portions are really big. And all of this at an easily affordable price.

Best Greek in the city center. I haven't had such good meat in a long time. Totally thrilled. Come back quickly 😄

Nice restaurant, good food, nice service. We'll definitely come back.

Very clean place. Food looked good. I was only there briefly to drink coffee and treated myself to a piece of strawberry cake. There will be something off the menu next time you visit.

HORRIBLE ATTENTION! The waitress was so rude while we she took the orthers, most of us didn't want drinks and she said we couldn't eat without getting drinks??? And after some awkward and rude time we just left because it was so disrespectful. WHEN WE ASKED HER NAME SHE SAID SHE WAS THE CHEF'S WIFE....(Bolena) Absolutely terrible, don't go.

I can only rate the starter plate and salad. Fresh and delicious. A taverna wouldn't be bad after all 😬

Very nice staff, huge portions, great value for money! Thank you for the food

Food great...staff friendly and competent.. Gladly again.

Food was tasty and plentiful, service was friendly. Can't say anything negative.

Salads are recommended! Burgers looked good

The waiter was probably helping out. Inattentive and occasionally unfriendly. The younger waiter was very friendly and accommodating The food was ok with dishes starting at 20 euros. The grilled sea bream was very tasty. The various skewers were average and the salads were a bit small. Unfortunately, we can't recommend any of the various dessert offerings after trying them all. We drank various wines at an advanced hour and then there was only wine a bottle for 42 euros. It was supposed to be a special wine that none of the five wine drinkers liked. We were 10 people and had a joint bill of 510 euros. The mood with us was good, we had a family celebration, the service and the food available unfortunately did not do justice to the occasion. So the next time you visit a Greek restaurant it doesn't have to be this one.

I was there recently as part of the ArtNight event. Can't say anything negative. It was all good!

It was very tasty, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was simply great.

Cadre agréable, servi rapidement, repas simple mais bon :), spécialités Grecque au top .Digestif offert, serveuse sympathique, je recommande !

Food: average Service: too few service staff (was there on Friday) Ambience: well-intentioned, but no attention to detail, e.g. beautifully renovated Tois and then pipes come out of the wall, looks like it stopped shortly before completion

Everything excellent! Starters, main courses, service, ambience!

The meat could be better quality. The fries weren't very great either. But good, friendly service.

The atmosphere was dreary and the ambience wasn't very Greek... everything was green, even the napkins on the table... the pepperoni was ok...dakos not seasoned and too expensive, the schnitzel was very dry and looked strangely orange, the dollop was extra Sauce (from the bag) costs over 4 euros like the bread, bacon on it not crispy. Price-performance wasn't right.

A wonderful Greek restaurant, with everything that goes with it. Again any time!

A beautiful, modern restaurant with extremely friendly service that also offers alternative options. The food was excellent, the pepperoni as a starter was very tasty, the grilled fish with rosemary potatoes was really delicious. Thank you very much, anytime again!

Es war sehr schön hier. Das Essen auch ganz wunderbar. Sehr liebe Menschen

Wir waren zum Frühstück da. Leider war der Brotkorb nur je Person ein Brötchen und auf Nachfrage gab es Baguette ( für jeden 1 Scheibe) Da muss definitiv etwas nach korrigiert werden denn, wenn ich drei Scheiben Schinken, 3 Scheiben Käse, Marmelade und Frischkäse habe, kann ich das gar nicht auf das eine Brötchen und die eine Scheibe Baguette unter bringen ( grosses Frühstück) Das griechische Omlett mit der Bauernwurst war hingegen echt gut, hatte aber auch nur ein Brötchen und eine Scheibe Baguette.

Nach langer Zeit wollten wir mal wieder griechisch essen. Leider war das Restaurant nicht die beste Wahl. Das Ambiente ist recht normal, hat keine griechische Atmosphäre. Das Essen trieft vor Fett, das Fleisch vom Gyros hatte keine gute Qualität. Der Hunger hat es reingetrieben. Der Wein war gut und die Bedienung war ganz nett, daher gibt es insgesamt zwei Sterne. Schade, das war seit langem eins der schlechtesten Essen.

Modernes Ambiente, gutes und preiswertes Essen, schnelle und sehr freundliche Bedienung, was will man mehr... Fazit: gerne kommen wir wieder!

Gutes Essen und netter Service. Gerne wieder!

Das Gyros war trocken. Die Pommes waren ok. Das Zaziki auch. Geschmacklich kann die griechische Küche um einiges mehr. Schade.

Super nettes Servicepersonal. Salatdressing sehr lecker und alles frisch zubereitet. Rinderleber auf den Punkt genau gegart. Toll gewürzt und plaziert. Wird nicht das letzte mal sein das ich dort essen werde.

Gutes Grieches Restaurant. Für meinen Geschmack etwas wenig gewürzt. Nette Inhaberin. Preisleistung absolut okay. Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre.

Essen war gut, Service gut. Vielleicht etwas teurer,aber in dieser Lage, mitten in der Stadt ist auch Miete teuer.

Das war ein toller Besuch: es gab eine Suppe, die ich bestimmt schon 20 Jahre nicht mehr in einem griechischen Restaurant in Deutschland bekommen habe: Jouvarlakia (Fleischklößchensuppe mit Reis - leicht mit Eiern angedickt und mit Zitrone abgeschmeckt). Es waren sehr günstige Preise für große Portionen. Schön, dass es auch mal wieder einen griechischen Mokka gab. Haben auch nur wenige.

Das essen war sehr lecker 🤤 der Service war einsame Spitze . Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder .

Jedzenie pyszne, atmosfera miła, z pewnością jeszcze odwiedzę te miejsce 🩷

Wunderschöne Räumlichkeiten, sehr freundlicher Service und obwohl wir eine größere Gruppe waren, haben wir gleichzeitig unser Essen bekommen. Nur dir bei griechischen Restaurants übliche Ouzo nach dem Essen hat gefehlt, schade. 😐

Nette Bedienung, das Essen war sehr gut und mussten nicht lange warten. Das war breites mein zweiter Besuch in dem Restaurant und ein dritter wird auf jeden Fall auch folgen. Preis-Leistung sehr stimmig.

Wir waren als angemeldete Gruppe dort zum Abendessen. Also dass die Bedienung, die schon bemüht war,trotz aufschreiben egal ob bei Getränken oder Vorspeisen auch bei den Hauptgerichten immer was vergessen hat ist schon sehr ärgerlich. Zum Schluss fehlten zwei Hauptgerichte und als i Tüpfelchen reichteces für das letzte Essen das Gyros nicht mehr. Auch unsere Gläser blieben leer und wir wurden nicht gefragt ob wir noch was möchten. Alles in allem würde keiner von uns 12 dort noch mal hingehen. Das Lammfilet war lauwarm,das Schweinefleisch (Souvlaki)nicht durch usw. Schade denn wir hatten uns wirklich darauf gefreut.

Das zweite mal hier und es wird nicht besser. Essen ist leider totgebraten und ohne viel Geschmack. Beim Grillteller und sonstigen Gerichten gibt es einen kleinen Beilagesalat dazu jedoch tzatiki muss extra bestellt werden. Gyros ist einfach Furz trocken. Metaxasosse mit ferigsosse hergestellt und überhaupt nicht genießbar. Preis/Leistung einfach überteuert für das was man bekommt. Service maßlos überfordert trotz vorheriger Ankündigung der grosseren Gruppe. Freundlichkeit lässt auch zu wünschen übrig. Ambiente okay. Wir werden das Lokal in der Zukunft meiden.

Wir waren hier zu dritt Essen. Leider stellte sich die Komunikation mit dem Personal etwas schwierig da. Die Portionen sind sehr übersichtlich. Das Verhältnis vom Gyros zu den Pommes war leider etwas unausgeglichen. Hier ist das Gyros die Beilage, und die Pommes das Hauptgericht.

Riesige Portionen besonders die Vorspeisen. Immer wieder gerne

We were the only table for an early dinner - regret it now, but we were very hungry. Surly service from the start - then deafening background noise of clattering tableware throughout our wait and meal. I ordered the Ellin burger - got a bbq burger instead. Not nice - spend the same money and go to Five Guys. This one was a solid indigestible mass smothered in bottled bbq sauce - so I had to leave the bun. When the waitress was confronted with her error - she quickly upped the anti and flashed a pointed finger at me! I have not encountered ‘Greek’ hospitality like this - ever.

Sehr lecker, sehr freundliches aufmerksames Personal 👍

Alles war wunderbar. Sehr leckeres Essen, schönes Ambiente und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter.

Das Essen ist geschmacklich und Qualitativ gut. Die Servicemitarbeiter haben starke Probleme mit der Verständigung. Wenn man einen Sonderwunsch hat wird das nicht verstanden und kann auch nicht gemacht werden. Schon schade so etwas. Empfehlen kann ich das Restaurant auf jeden Fall.

Der Caeser Salat war richtig lecker. Das Hähnchenfleisch war zart und mit griechischen Gewürzen zubereitet. Eine absolute Empfehlung. Der Service war sehr nett. Gerne wieder.

Sehr gutes Essen, nette Bedienung, alles super!

Vorspeise Haloumi lecker, Grill- und Gyrosteller haben ausreichend satt gemacht und waren sehr lecker. Einzige Kritik, die Servicekraft könnte mal lächeln und nicht so böse gucken. Sonst alles top, kommen gerne wieder.

Im Rahmen einer Veranstaltung waren wir mit allen Teilnehmenden bei Ellin zum Abendessen verabredet. Wir hatten eine vordefinierte Karte mit einem Vorspeisen Salat und vier Gerichten zur Auswahl. Der Service war leider bereits mit den Getränken überfordert. Auf den Vorspeisensalat haben wir dann über eine Stunde warten müssen und die Hauptspeise kam nach über zwei Stunden. Hier wäre etwas mehr Vorbereitung und vor allem Kommunikation mit den Gästen angebracht gewesen. Das Essen selbst war leider unterirdisch. Wir hatten bspw. ein Moussaka welches kalt war und die Konsistenz ähnelte dem eines tiefgefrorenen und aufgewärmten Discounter Gerichts. Auch der Geschmack hatte nichts mit einem guten griechischen Gericht zu tun. Das Fleisch vom Gyros war zudem leider sehr knorpelig und ungenießbar. Wir haben das Essen teilweise zurückgehen lassen oder es nicht aufgegessen. Den zweiten Stern gibt es für den netten Kassierer am Ausgang, welcher das Essen folglich z.T. nicht berechnet und die Kritik offen angenommen hat.

Der Service ist nett und zuvorkommend, die angebotenen Speisen sind sehr gut und hochwertig.

Das Essen ist ok, aber die Kellnerin ist sehr unfreundlich. Ich empfehle diesen Ort nicht.

Sehr gutes Essen. Preis Leistung völlig okay...

Waren zum Abendessen essen dort. Wegen der Hitze haben wir uns für den Griechischen Bauernsalat entschieden. Da wir ihn ja selber würzen und anmachen, können wir ja nicht meckern. Die Portion war reichlich und noch mit Paprika. Leider war das Bier nicht kalt genug. Die Bedienung war freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Very good service and very good food.

Das Restaurant passt immer, wenn man zu angemessenen Preisen essen möchte. Die Klassiker der griechischen Küche in Deutschland sind gut und variantenreich zusammengestellt. Sicher nichts für Feinschmecker aber wir waren schon häufiger hier und empfanden die Lage, das Essen immer angenehm, auch weil Bedienung das Personal freundlich und positiv waren.
