Elliniki Griechisches Restaurant in Leipzig

We were spontaneously in Leipzig and ended up at this Greek place. We were very satisfied. Price and performance were right

We were here on January 1st, 2025. Peggy served us food. We were with 2 small children and we really have to thank you very much. They always supported our children with their hearts. And the food was very tasty. Thank you very much, we would love to come back.

Interesting restaurant with good food and friendly service.

A large, very nice restaurant in downtown Leipzig. The food is very good, the portions are large and the prices are normal/reasonable. Charging €8.10 for a 0.75 liter bottle of water alone is outrageous. Card payment is possible and there is a small, signposted vegan menu. It was annoying that a dish was advertised in front of the restaurant but then wasn't available. Edit: on our next visit everything was great, large portions, tasty dishes, friendly staff and a good atmosphere in the restaurant.

Visit the Christmas market in Leipzig. Visited this Greek restaurant with 8 people. What can I say, we were all thrilled. Friendly, attentive and the food tastes very good. Only recommended. See you next time.

The best bifteki I have ever eaten and the restaurant is very nice.

1 hour wasted waiting for calamari that never came, paid for my drinks , and left. Rude waiters are probably underpaid.

Very nice restaurant and delicious food. Service top, very friendly. Prices completely okay.

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time before we could order drinks. Everything took a little longer. But we were also a large group. The food all came pretty much at the same time. Plus point. But 3 of the 6 items on the menu were missing from my plate. If requested, two would then be provided. We didn't tip and brought this to the waiter's attention. Let's see if he accepts the criticism.

I ordered the leg of lamb and have never eaten such good lamb before, super tender, almost creamy, simply incredibly good. If you are in Leipzig, you should definitely try the leg of lamb. The delicious garlic fried potatoes almost fade into the background, even though they are really delicious too!

Good ambience and friendly staff. Fast service and good selection of food Price-performance ratio is good. A small downer: the wrong side dish was served for one dish. Otherwise everything is ok and recommended.

Ate here recently when in Leipzig. Restaurant staff were good. Food was decent, had the pork in a mushroom sauce. Had 3 pieces of pork , and 3 scoops of tomato rice. did a job, wouldn't rush back. €27 for a main and a drink of this quality is high in my opinion.

A very nice little Greek restaurant. Since this restaurant is located right in the city center, you should definitely reserve a table in the evening. The food was delicious, unfortunately we were missing a starter, which was no longer delivered, but was then included on the bill. Unfortunately a star deducted for that. The portions are very large, including the starters. The price-performance ratio is very good. The restaurant is worth a visit.

Unfortunately no fresh meat, it tasted warmed up, the atmosphere is nice.

A good or very good restaurant emerges when, despite a high number of guests, you are offered an “all-round, worry-free package”. We had such an evening on December 7th, 2024, when Peggy, our waitress, accompanied us with fun and fire through the humid, happy and absolutely tasty evening. In short: modern flair, great food, friendly staff and the Uzo is not neglected either! We'd love to visit you again! Thank you Peggy*****

Food was excellent. Very good portion size. Only recommended.

Been to Elliniki for the first time and it was worth it. Service was very attentive and the food came quickly and was really tasty. There will definitely be another visit.

Lunch not spectacular. Carelessly done. Tomato rice watery. Chicken meat fatty. Not again

The best and tastiest Greek we know. Highly recommended.

Quite a modern Greek atmosphere, side dishes with the meal are rather unusual. I have never seen macaroni on the menu at any Greek restaurant. Service was sometimes great, sometimes tried hard. Overall ok, I wouldn't go there regularly.

We spontaneously went for lunch on Saturday. The service was top and the food was delicious. Clear recommendation. *****

Indrid provided great service. Enjoy your meal. Great service

Very nice restaurant in the heart of Leipzig. Food was delicious 😋 and the service was friendly

In our opinion, the food was good, the service was very friendly and the restaurant has a great atmosphere! The online reservation worked. What I personally missed was a local beer on the menu! Completely satisfied and recommended!

Unfortunately, you don't dine like a king here. The service is worthy of a king. But the food is more bland for my taste. Unfortunately, I'm not so impressed. The ambience meets my royal requirement. It was a year of celebration and I'm looking forward to coming back despite the blandness.

Very nice but always very long waiting times

Good wide range of food, good service.

A highlight among the restaurants in Leipzig! In contrast to many other restaurants in the city center, the price/performance ratio here is good. Very good Greek food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Well-attended, cozy Greek restaurant. Great courteous service. And that food was really delicious!!

Very good restaurant, perhaps a bit high prices, but tasteless and no closing time in the afternoon.

Very good food, mixed starters plate very very good. There are vegetarian dishes. We were lucky to get a place without a reservation.

Highly recommended as there are lots of authentic Greek dishes!

Delicious gyros, very friendly staff and the price-performance ratio is okay 😊

Great, super nice service, delicious food! Feel-good factor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was ok. Tasty but no wow effect either. I liked the classic gyros gratinated in Metaxa sauce on the menu. The Gyros & Macaroni I ordered came closest. Could have been a little more

The gorgonzola macaroni was incredibly great to eat again

It's nice to sit outside in the sun

Very tasty, absolutely recommended

Very good Greek and the tzatziki is a dream 👍👍 Get in with you 👍👍

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and very good food 👍😁 that was our impression in the evenings of the week

We spontaneously got a table for four people. The service was very good and polite. We also really liked the atmosphere in the restaurant. The food came quickly and was very tasty Greek. The price was also reasonable for the quality. We recommend the Gyros Special with Metaxa Sauce.

This shop initially seemed very good to us, but this quickly turned negative due to the unfriendly and disrespectful treatment of a slightly older woman who was new to working there. The food was very tasty, but that was all that was good there. When I go to a restaurant like this, I expect that I will be treated decently as a guest and not be bullied. Our bills also ended up being completely messed up and we had to pay for things that we hadn't even ordered. No recommendations!

Super tasty chicken gyros and bifteki and a mega tzatziki. Great wine, very friendly service and great atmosphere. We were thrilled!!

Nice Greek restaurant, tasty food, friendly and quick service. However, I found it a little expensive.

It was okay, prices were manageable, but so were portions

We ate very well. However, the atmosphere was a bit reminiscent of a train station, it was very loud and very crowded. The service took a bit. But we were very satisfied with the food.

Friendly staff, also have patience when choosing the menu. All in all it was good. What the children didn't manage to do was packed up and given away.

Whenever we were traveling in Leipzig, we visited the Elliniki. The first time by chance, then always consciously. Why go anywhere else? We always had an excellent meal here: Best minced meat as Bifteki, this time also as Suzukia (with the best Metaxa sauce I've eaten in the last 20 years). The fish with white wine sauce that my wife had was also very good. We always like the atmosphere. Very cozy, even though the restaurant was completely full (no one was sitting outside at 11.5 degrees). The service was very friendly and on the ball and we had our food on the table after 15 minutes. We can only recommend Elliniki and look forward to the next time (it's a shame that the one-way journey for us is 260 km).

Really tasty, but a bit too expensive in my opinion. Feel free to do it again :)

We spontaneously went to the restaurant for dinner on Saturday evening. It was very well attended, but the staff still tried to find a place for us. We were very excited. The salad that was served as a starter was already very tasty. Very fresh, crunchy and especially the dressing tasted very good. As absolute garlic lovers, we were thrilled that garlic wasn't skimped on in the dishes. The service was also very good. We were regularly asked if everything was OK and despite it being busy, the service and the serving of drinks and food went quickly. For us it is the best Greek restaurant we have eaten in so far.

The food was very, very tasty, the prices were completely ok and the service was impeccable. Thank you ...

Fantastic meal here. I can definitely recommend the chicken in gorgonzola sauce, although you could no longer see the beautifully grilled chicken under the layer of sauce. Baked potatoes were fried very greasy, which was a bit of a shame, but otherwise fantastic!

The best Greek restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is very warm and accommodating, I also celebrated my birthday there a few days ago, it was phenomenal😍 I'm already looking forward to my next visit to the restaurant ☺️

Unser Essen war top ! Wir hatten beide Hähnchen mit metaxa Sauce überbacken. Der Gouda hat das Gericht abgerundet, die Knoblauchkartoffeln waren nicht „zu“ doll aber trotzdem sehr lecker. Wie waren direkt zur rush hour dort, daher war es ein wenig turbulent, aber verständlich. Die Bedienung war immer freundlich und bemüht. Einziges Manko was ich habe (Jammern auf hohem Niveau) es gibt im vgl zu anderen Griechen weniger ouzu, allerdings preis/Leistung ist mehr als gut ! Und auf unserer Rechnung standen auch keine extra ouzu (2 von 3 bestellt). Also der Abend hat uns begeistert. Und ich werde definitiv mit Freunden nochmal zurückkehren

Super friendly, I would say warm and the food leaves nothing to be desired.

generous portion, which was very tasty and beautifully presented. Staff was attentive and very friendly. Gladly again 😊

Service: friendly but overwhelmed Food: Gyro meat was gristly and didn't taste good. We were there with 8 people and everyone who had gyros was criticized. Souvlaki was good Salad was charged twice even though it was included in the main course. Served glass with a broken rim and and and. We were all very dissatisfied.

We came across this Greek restaurant because the first Greek restaurant we went to had already reserved all the outdoor tables. In the end we were super happy 🤗 The food was great - 2x gratinated items with Metaxa sauce, tzatziki and a dip with eggplant. The side dishes, especially the garlic potatoes - a dream. Service was very nice, a young, dynamic waiter and two rather reserved but very friendly waitresses - the interior also looked great and we found the price to be completely reasonable - 61.50 euros including two large drinks... and four ouzo for two people 👌 We would come again 👍

Very inexpensive Greek restaurant in the center of Leipzig. I was very surprised that the portion was so big. At the end there was an ouzo on the house (as befits a good Greek)

First time here. It was great, great service, great food. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty 🤤 there were 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children, everyone got something, everyone thought it was very tasty, everyone was full and unfortunately it was too much for 4 😂🙏 we were allowed to take it with us 😊👍 the small playground , a few meters further was of course very nice for the children 😃 We were able to have a good time with it, we would love to come back. Everyone was nice, there was nothing to complain about 😊 There are no photos, the food really looks like the pictures 🤤

Best tasting Moussaka I have ever had, my daughter had a vegetarian option which heartily enjoyed,great beer too.

We were visiting Leipzig and had the pleasure of eating here. We were very impressed with both the food and the service. We would love to come back.

Rather mixed. The food was "okay" but nothing special. The prices are a bit too expensive, and when there's a lot going on, the service isn't good enough.

Very disappointing experience. The food was carelessly prepared and tasted very bland. Salad was swimming in dressing. While we were still eating, the service cordoned off the outside area around us, even though the opening times said it was still open for an hour. Then it would be better to ask the guests to sit inside. We felt very stressed about eating quickly so we could go as quickly as possible.

Card payment possible Dogs allowed: outside if necessary. Rather average Greek. A bit high in price for average but classic Greek cuisine. Service was ok that day, there wasn't much going on at lunchtime. Finally an ouzo. Flair is more like ok. Totally ok if you're really keen on Greek. Therefore a good 3.

Always very good food and friendly staff. Beautiful and large rooms, as well as a large outdoor area.

Food was very tasty, Keller was very brisk

Delicious grilled baby calamari

It's easy to sit here on the terrace or in the restaurant, the waiters are polite and attentive, we liked the food and the portions were large. The gyro was particularly good, crispy and not dry.

Can't understand the reviews. The gyrus was worlds away from a real one. The tzatziki only tasted like garlic. The people next door thought it was first class. The fries were soggy.

Wir haben die tollen Bewertungen hier gelesen und können nur zustimmen. Der Service ist schnell und wirklich sehr freundlich. Die Preise sind angemessen und die Portionen groß. Wir hatten fast alle das Gyros Spezial mit Pommes und Bratkartoffeln. Die Metaxa Sauce schmeckt hier generell sehr gut!

Service good and friendly. Had the chicken gyros and chicken gyros with Metaxa sauce and baked. Food was hot and flavorful.

Restaurant grec, attention je pensais que c’était allemand au début. Ma faute. Le plat était copieux. La spécialité était bonne et la bouteille d’eau à 3€ c’est dommage à mon goût.

Very tasty and very large portions. Thanks

Excellent food, high quality of dishes. Correct price-performance ratio. Very nice and attentive service staff.

Very good restaurant. Service and food are very good.

Very friendly people and good service. The kitchen is very loose. The dishes were not very well cooked.

I've eaten at a lot of Greek places, but this one was the absolute worst. I've never experienced anything like that. The restaurant was empty and we were the only 4 people. We were given 1 menu and the service left a lot to be desired. The food was prepared quickly and was an absolute disaster. There wasn't even ouzo. We then went in to pay because we weren't asked for it. Never again!!!

Das Gyros war viel zu fettig und leider nur lauwarm. Der Kellner war sehr bemüht die Situation zu retten und bat mir eine Umbestellung an, jedoch war mir der Appetit vergangen. Das Verhalten des Kellners möchte ich nochmals positiv hervorheben.

Hey, I would like to file a complaint about the behavior of one of your waiters in your restaurant on August 5, 2024 at 4:33 p.m. The waiter in question behaved towards me in a discriminatory manner and showed a lack of professionalism and courtesy. His behavior was extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. I expect a high level of customer service and respectful treatment of guests from a restaurant with your reputation. Unfortunately, this was not the case in my case. I ask that you take this matter seriously and take appropriate action to ensure that such behavior does not occur in the future. I would be very happy to receive feedback on this incident

Super delicious food, great service and super nice waiters.

We try out every place we go that has a Greek restaurant. We can only say goodbye positively because it was very tasty. Portions more than sufficient. We will come back next time we are in Leipzig. Thanks

This evening we were really looking forward to delicious gyros. We got machine-cut fat with a little meat in it. It appeared that the meat had already been cut and then kept warm. The gyro was hard, old and soaked in fat. Inedible! For almost €19 per portion, guests can expect more. Unfortunately zero, really zero quality! The drinks, especially the water, were served in tasteful glasses and bottles Please avoid this store.

A very typical Greek. Portions are large enough and the price/performance ratio is OK. We sat outside and were served quickly and friendly. Saganaki was good but a bit bland. Biftekin and grill plate was tasty and a good portion. We paid €60 each with a drink. There was also the typical free ouzo.☺️

Can be done, does not have to be. Saganaki was delicious. The rest is okay.

Very nice restaurant. Fast, very nice service. Great food. We will be back.

The restaurant itself is nice and there was a nice atmosphere. I was also satisfied with the service; I was sufficiently taken care of. However, I don't think the prices for this meal are really fair. The starters were still okay/good but we weren't happy with the main courses.

Nice and modern restaurant. The service was wonderful. Pretty temporary help and nice cellars.❤️ ❤️

To everyone who appreciates Leipzig gastronomy: My suggestion, the Greek restaurant Elliniki at Reichsstraße 8! Very nice ambience, inside and out, excellent food selection and delicious drinks, first-class service, super friendly service that fulfills every wish. You get generous portions that are beautifully prepared, taste delicious and are really filling. The price-performance ratio is impressive. A big compliment to the entire team!

Unfortunately the impression of the restaurant was bad. We waited an hour for our order, the waiter forgot our order. Not once during the hour did a waiter come to our table. The quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately we don't feel like going to this restaurant again.

Delicious food. Lunch menu at very reasonable prices. In the evenings it's more of an upper price range. Usually very well staffed - reservation could be worthwhile.

Ambience great. Food tip top. Niko is the best.

Great place for greek food and a cold beer or wine.

You can make a category, but you don't have to. Service is slow, tables in the outdoor area are only cleaned when requested, bread for the tzatzikki should be baked yourself, but could also be sold as a hammer in the hardware store. The prices also leave you unsettled. Location is great, but that’s it. There is no trace of the Greek attitude to life here, especially not on the palate.

We ordered from the restaurant today, unfortunately the white bread was forgotten for the starter. When we asked, it was said that it would be brought with the main course and then the menu says that there was a salad for each of the dishes that we had chosen. We received 1 salad and the white bread came with it When we asked, the service wasn't very friendly anymore and then the bill said 1 Uzou on the house for each of the two main courses, which we didn't receive either. very unfortunate with the prices

Decent food, friendly staff and fast service.

Food is tasty, prepared quite quick and served by friendly staff 😋👍

The food was good and tasty, for the price the portions could have been a little larger, but that wasn't the deciding factor. The service in the evening left a lot to be desired. While you were already served your main course, others at the table had to wait another 20 minutes to get their main course in addition to their side dish. The side dish was already cold by then. In general, the restaurant wasn't full that evening, so you would have liked a little more attention from the waiter. And the fact that you aren't offered a single ouzo after a stay of over 3 hours is a remarkable achievement for a Greek.

By far the worst Greek restaurant I’ve ever visited. Waiters are completely lost, food is bellow average, but prices are rather high.
