Gasthaus ZORBAS Zur Krone in Bad Nauheim

After we fell terribly into it years ago and left the restaurant without anything to eat (the review can still be found under the 1 stars), my mother still invited me back to Christmas dinner at the Zorbas Zur Krone inn. Well, maybe something has changed, so we were there yesterday with 12 people. Drinks came quickly and it took about an hour for the starters. When the main courses came, I unfortunately had to answer the waiter's friendly question as to whether everyone had what they wanted with no. The reason quickly became clear: my food was simply forgotten. In order not to spoil the mood, I stayed seated and after everyone else had eaten, I finally got the goose I ordered. The dish (goose breast and leg with dumplings and red cabbage) was on a special menu and advertised on a board outside the restaurant. My mother immediately asked where the sauce was, because it was really homeopathically spread on the plate and hardly visible. When I took the completely limp skin off the piece of goose breast and tried the meat, only one question came to mind: how do you get goose breast so tough, dry and hard? It didn't matter that the red cabbage was cold because we left after more than 2 hours and I ate a bratwurst at the Christmas market. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that my mother later received a bottle of red wine and a voucher for a meal as an apology. I don't know whoever wants to redeem this voucher, I'm not 100% sure.

We were there spontaneously with colleagues and were warmly welcomed. Great food with very good service!!! Thank you for the lovely evening says the group with the dinosaur ;)!

Always a highlight! The food is delicious and can only be recommended. The staff very accommodating and friendly. The chef himself welcomes his guests personally and has a chat or two. Highly recommended - highly recommended as a Greek in the area!

The food was OK. Okay means everyone has eaten. Nobody left the restaurant and said "Wow, I want to go back there.". This is partly due to the unfriendliness of the gentleman who hosted us. I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday with the people who are close to my heart. I fulfilled this, but when you ask for plates for a cake you brought yourself, which is clearly more than appropriate on a 40th birthday, even in a "foreign" restaurant, you should, can and MAY, even MUST, expect friendliness. That was exactly not the case. A long face and the plates were only handed out reluctantly. Only after the host offered to get a piece of cake himself did something that could be called a smile appear. Furthermore, a “Cola” made from syrup and slightly carbonated water for €5.50 is completely unacceptable. I can neither recommend this nor will I be a guest here again. It's a shame, because you certainly won't expand your customer base that way.

If you like Greek cuisine, you will love it here! The portions are more than sufficient and super tasty! You can also feel the Greek flair here and you can relax very well. If I'm back in Bad Nauheim I'll definitely go there again! Many thanks to the nice staff!

Super great facility The food is highly recommended Very friendly staff

We were there with a very large group of people. The catering went excellently. All guests were very satisfied. The fried zuchinis were to die for.

Nothing special, just normal Greek food. Could be better.

Clean rooms, everything you need and the kitchen is well equipped

Super nice staff, the food was delicious! Thank you for this relaxing evening!

Really good and tasty. Normal prices. Has 2 full menus to choose from every day of the week. Nice staff and boss.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. As always, it was very good!

Been to Zorbas again, as always a very warm welcome, the food was great as always, no matter what we have ordered so far. We also respond to special requests. Gladly again

Friendly atmosphere in the courtyard with nice staff. Unfortunately you can't change or combine the menu selection, which means that the way the menu is offered means you have to order it (fried potatoes cannot be replaced with fries) so the chef is probably overwhelmed Price performance is OKAY

It was fantastic! We thank you for getting a table. The food isn't just delicious; the atmosphere is very great and the hosts are top notch ********* Our 2nd visit We were passing through and stopped here and the food was again very tasty! Thank you

The tastiest bifteki I've ever eaten. Great service, always caring for the guest without coming across as unfriendly.

Für uns eines der besten Griechen, die wir kennen! Gyros ist phantastisch und der Service nett. Wir hatten alles in allem eines sehr schönen Abend auf der Gartenterasse.

Were there on Saturday, ordered food once souvlaki and once a kind of grill plate souvlaki came, the second meal was a schnitzel I took it and wanted to eat it with my husband, everything was carelessly prepared and totally overpriced. So once and never again. Normally they wouldn't have deserved any trouble.

Nice beer garden, friendly service and the best gyros I've ever eaten.

The food was okay, but unfortunately I had to wait an hour for my food. As an apology, my wife and I were offered an Ouzo and a Bailey, which we gladly accepted. The only mistake was that the drinks didn't come. When we saw that the bartender always got his ice for the drinks from the basin where the bottles were cooled, we were horrified. Zorbas is actually a nice restaurant, but these mistakes aren't possible. The organization reaches its limits when there is a lot of activity. A pity

Das Essen war okay, ich musste allerdings leider eine Stunde auf mein Essen warten. Als Entschuldigung wurden meiner Frau und mir ein Ouzo und ein Bailey angeboten was wir gerne annahmen. Der Fehler war nur, die Drinks kamen leider nicht. Als wir dann sahen, dass der Barkeeper sein Eis für die Drinks immer aus dem Becken holte wo auch die Flaschen gekühlt wurden, waren wir entsetzt. Eigentlich ist das Zorbas ein schönes Lokal aber diese Fehler gehen gar nicht. Die Organisation kommt bei viel Betrieb an Ihre Grenzen. Schade

Very good Greek. Good price-performance ratio. Nice atmosphere in the yard.

Very nice service. I really like eating gyros, even as gyros in metaxa sauce. However, this is not recommended under any circumstances. The three of us ordered the dish independently of each other. It turned out that this smell was obviously the leftover meat ramp. Lumps of fat, some bones and lots of cartilage. Didn't think this restaurant could afford to lose customers this way.

Unfortunately only three stars for the food because it wasn't my cup of tea, everything with dill. But that's very individual. Everyone else enjoyed it wonderfully

Tasty, but not great. An ordinary restaurant.

Great food, great service, always a pleasure!!

Definitely the first and last time there. Waiting almost an hour for two simple lunch dishes is completely absurd. What annoys me the most is the fact that when I came in I asked if you could have lunch... To say after about 30 minutes that it will take a few more minutes because everything is made fresh is also a bit ridiculous, since in a restaurant I assume that it is always made fresh. The announced few minutes were more like another 20 minutes…. Ultimately, these were two simple dishes. Bifteki and gyros. Nobody even asked if you liked it. Behavior like this always makes me a little suspicious.

Hm yes, location is good, beer garden, sitting outside, possible here, service somewhere between inattentive and disinterested as soon as you sit down, Eat ... Our two dishes were good in terms of quantity, but unfortunately quite tasteless and comparatively expensive.

Delicious food, nice service, will come again 👍

Went for lunch today, Musaka was unfortunately sold out, I took Bifteki, it was the best thing I've ever eaten!

The food was again very tasty, the service was very friendly. A wonderful, successful evening.

Traditional restaurant in Bad Nauheim. Greek cuisine for a long time. Super tasty and the service is always attentive and friendly. The outside area is huge, nice atmosphere and you should definitely make a reservation for the weekend. Parking is a bit difficult in front of it, but it is within walking distance from Parkstrasse.

Wonderful, great restaurant with super friendly staff.

Had a very tasty paprika schnitzel with fries. Friendly staff.

The food was very tasty 🤤 only more fried potatoes would have been good and even more warm but otherwise everything was good.

Friendly greeting from the waiters at the entrance to the beer garden, next door is the inn, attentive waiter who brought us the drinks and food. Zucchini and eggplant with garlic tasted delicious. Was there on 4/8/24. The toilet can be reached via 2-3 steps down, was clean, smelled good. We'd love to come back. Parking lots available

Very quaint old building, but also very cozy. The food is good, everyone can add spices to their taste. The house wine is really good

Very nice atmosphere. Nice and attentive service

Very nice and cozy space, the prices are okay.

Excellent Spanish cuisine, sufficiently large portions, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. We feel comfortable there.

My wife and I went there for dinner on February 24, 2024. I had suflaki (17.50€!), my wife had gyros (17.90€!!!). The meat on my skewers was completely cooked and dry - the gyro was still half raw. For 2 people with drinks almost €60 is just not reasonable. However, we have been there several times in the last few years and have always been satisfied... Prices and performance simply don't match anymore - it's a shame.

In general, the food is very tasty and plentiful, but the prices are already very high. E.g. Gyros with Metaxa sauce costs €19.90 and pork fillet in a mushroom cream sauce costs €21.90. I understand the high additional costs, but the surcharge is too much. We won't be coming back, even though we've been there many times...

The food was very tasty. However, the service was not what you would expect. The two waiters often stood around and talked to each other. I wish they would have asked every now and then if everything was okay, if we wanted something or something. Even when you raised your arm, they continued to traipse together and didn't notice that we wanted to. That was too bad. Ambience was okay, but could have had more flair.

Small, cozy Greek restaurant with nice people :)

Friendly service in a nice environment, but we weren't impressed with the food itself; there are better alternatives in town.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, beautiful place and personnel

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere excellent service! 10/10!

Wir waren am 1. Weihnachtstag im Zorbas essen. Leider war das Essen im allgemeinen sehr dürftig gewürzt. Ein Teller kam leider kalt am Tisch an. Ein Rumpsteak wurde medium bestellt um kam leider fast durch an. Auch Teile der Beilagen waren nicht wie gewünscht. Es war nicht schlecht aber auch nicht so besonders gut. Gegen den Service und das Ambiente kann man nichts sagen.

The internal decor was a tad overbright. The building is itself stunning and fascinating but maybe this hasn't been painted in the most complimentary way. The staff were helpful and the food was good.

Beste Gaststätte in Bad Nauheim..

Gute Essen, gute Preise, gute Bedienung

Besonders gut im Sommer wenn man den Biergarten nutzen kann

Wir haben uns auf eine Mittagsgans sehr gefreut, leider waren sehr ettäuscht. Die Gänsebrust war ausgetrocknet, ohne Geschmack, die Haut nicht knusprig, leider nichts Frisches - nur aufgetaut und aufgewärmt. Klöße und Rotkraut waren in Ordnung. Von uns geäusserte Unzufriedenheit wurde lauwarm angenommen. Wir waren schon mal in dieserm Sommer mit dem Essen hier unzufrieden. Früher eine sehr gute Gaststätte unter dem neuen Pachter leider nicht mehr Besuch Wert.

Seit Jahren bin ich ein Gast dort. Es ist immer Platz und wenn es aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage und der Auslastung des Lokals keinen gibt, wir Platz geschaffen. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet und für mich der beste Grieche den es gibt. Es ist unglaublich lecker, das Personal ist mehr als freundlich - und nicht gespielt, da es einfach nette Menschen sind. Ich kann es jedem nur raten dort zu essen.

Ein sehr schönes Lokal, alle Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr hochwertige Möbel und sehr einladend für einen gemütlichen Abend.

Sehr gutes Essen zu guten Preisen.

Ich war am Freitag den 20.10.23 mit einem langjährigen Freund dort essen. Das Essen war sehr gut, dagegen ist nichts zu sagen. Allerdings ließ der Service zu wünschen übrig. Plötzlich legte man uns die Rechnung hin, mit der Bitte, doch schon zu bezahlen. Der Kellner hatte es sehr eilig damit, denn eigentlich wollten wir getrennt bezahlen. Mein Freund bezahlte dann alles komplett und ich habe ihm meinen Anteil dann wieder gegeben. Wir wurden auch nicht mehr gefragt ob wir noch etwas trinken wollten. Dann wurde schon mal "rein versehentlich" das Licht kurz aus und angemacht um uns daran zu erinnern, das wir jetzt doch bitte zu gehen haben. So kann man Gäste auch raus kehren. Wir beide jedenfalls waren ziemlich sauer und werden uns nächstes Mal ein anderes Lokal aussuchen.

Es ist ein sehr schönes, altes , uriges Lokal. Wenn ich in Bad Nauheim würde ich zu jeder die Krone aufsuchen.

Wir haben sehr gut gegessen,der Wein war ausgezeichnet.Das Personal und der Chef waren sehr aufmerksam und super nett.Wir kommen gerne wieder bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Bad Nauheim 👍👍👍

Sehr aufmerksame Mitarbeiter. Der eigene Wein Mostra nur zu empfehlen. Vom Essen ganz zu schweigen, nur zu empfehlen.

The tastiest food in Bad Nauheim. Cozy and very welcoming staff.

Update 2023: Leider muss ich meine Bewertung aktualisieren. Ich war nach 2-3 Jahren wieder mal in der Krone. Der Geschmack hat nachgelassen. Auch die Portionen sind für den Preis definitiv zu klein. Schade! 3/5 ——- Wir haben im Außenbereich gesessen. Sehr schön! Die Bedienung war aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen (Bifteki & Dionysos-Teller) war sehr gut! Preis-Leistung stimmt auch! 5 Sterne!

Einen der besten Gyrosteller die ich jemals gegessen habe. Einzig Tzatziki fand ich etwas fade. Wenig Knoblauch :-( Alles frisch und gerade zubereitet Personal schnell, höflich und zuvorkommend. Bin insgesamt zufrieden und satt wieder gegangen.

Tolles Griechisches Restaurant, lecker Essen und sehr nette Atmosphäre. Kann man sehr empfehlen.

If you read my views, you know that I am a big food and I take my reviews seriously. Ok, the place is very cozy and the staff are extremely friendly. We visited this place during the Elvis festival so there was a lot going on. I ordered the lamb pieces with steak and potatoes. Ok, I thought I was getting a sharma tasting dish, but the steak was a lean hamburger, and the lamb was good but little taste. The others who ordered the lamb gave their portions to me, as they said it was a bit fatty. Didn't notice it was fatty but again very little taste. Good note, wife ordered the musaka and she thought it was wonderful. Two dishes and two beers came out to 54 euros. A bit spendy for Germany but this was Elvis week but when I eat international, I expect my socks to be blown off.

Man kann sehr schön draußen sitzen. Das Essen ist sehr gut, sehr empfehlenswert.

Sehr gutes griech. Restaurant in Bad Nauheim. Schöner Biergarten lädt zum Genießen ein. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Traditional restaurant in Bad Nauheim, now with German - Greek food, nice atmosphere and nice food. Have been there a second time, still great food and the service is good.

War schon ein paar mal dort War immer super, hat aber leider sehr nachgelassen was das Essen angeht Das Fleisch war das letzte mal super trocken und die Portion sehr übersichtlich für den Preis … schade

Die Bedienung war sehr unfreundlich H.D Wilk

Finally I found a greek restaurant with real greek food. Don't forget to try anything 😁. Everything was perfect

Bester Grieche!Sehr nettes Restaurant, super liebe Mitarbeiter und leckeres Essen.Alles in Allem war ich sehr beeindruckt von dem Lokal. Da hat einfach Alles gestimmt. Kann ich nur bestens empfehlen. Macht weiter so!

Griechisches Restaurant mit Aussenterasse in einem Innenhof in der Altstadt von Bad Nauheim gelegen. Parkmöglichkeiten in der näheren Umgebung ausreichend vorhanden. Klassische griechische Speisen zu akzeptablen Preisen.

Schöner Biergarten, das Essen und der Service war sehr gut. Waren zum zweiten Mal dort und kommen gerne wieder 👍

Gutes und preisgünstiges griechisches Essen von überzeugender Qualität in überdachtem luftdurchflutetem Außenbereich in netter Atmosphäre mit überaus freundlichem zuvorkommendem Service

Mousaka war extrem schlecht,: Keine Kartoffeln, keine Auberginen, Nur broeseliges Hackfleisch! Meine Frau und ich bekamen danach starke Stundenlange Bauchschmerzen und einen total aufgeblähten Bauch! Nie wieder!

Die Lokation ist sehr schön, die Speisen allerdings unterirdisch und das Personal unfreundlich. Und dies alles seitdem die Krone von Zorbas gepachtet wurde. Wir machen seitdem um diese schöne Lokation einen sehr großen Bogen.

Haben heute sehr sehr lecker im obigen Restaurant gegessen! Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Wir würden, wenn es von Zuhause nicht so weit entfernt wäre, öfter dort einkehren. Danke für die nette Bewirtung!

We tried this restaurant for a family lunch & were delighted with all aspects. The food was freshly prepared, presented in a professional style, the service was attentive & the Family owners were very hospitable. Definitely worth a visit & in our opinion very underrated.
