Hellas Grill Restaurant in Wuppertal

Nothing special anymore, especially not the food! It's a shame, I used to love being here.

No gyros pita, no positive review... quite simple!

Wonderful staff - very good food

Good tasty food. Ample portion

Food and service always tasty and good. The furnishings are a bit old, but that doesn't affect the delicious food

A really nice restaurant and really tasty (at least what I had 😉) but things had gone a bit unfavorably that evening. We had to wait over 40 minutes for our food because our pizza burned. It can happen, sure. But we would have liked a little compensation or something. Nevertheless, I would go again. 😉

We have been regular guests at the Hellas Grill in Wuppertal-Barmen for over 40 years now. In my opinion, that says it all. Every visit is always a pleasure. All the best to the Hellas Grill team.

Consistently great for decades!

Unfortunately the portions are simply too small for the price. The taste is no longer what it once was.

Food was good and plentiful. But unfortunately the prices have gone up enormously. What I personally don't think is okay given the price level is that I have to pay 1.50 for the packaging if I want to take my leftovers with me.

Good cuisine, nice service will come again.

Very nice staff with super nice owner.

Food to eat there is sometimes 20% more expensive. You get the same portions to take away as you would eat there. Even if they have to pay 19% VAT for eating there and only 7% for taking away, that doesn't justify the higher prices, in my opinion. And from 2024, 19% will also apply for take-away! So your story no longer works. You are treated unfriendly on the phone. I often ordered there by phone! They only understand half of it and can't even speak decent German! Decency and friendliness are not very important to the staff there. I wanted to order a mixed salad over the phone to pick up after the first person on the phone didn't understand what a mixed salad was and tried to explain to me that they call it a green salad. I then explained to another employee that in Germany it was a green salad for me It's just iceberg lettuce and there are no tomatoes etc. on it. The second, even unfriendly employee then also said that it was a green salad. I then kindly explained to him again that in Germany a green salad does not contain tomatoes and other ingredients. The Greek then said to me that he didn't want to take an order from me and why I would bother him! Hey? What didn't I understand? you tell someone they are wrong and then they treat you that way. Put your food somewhere else! I can only advise everyone not to order or eat there. The taste is good there. But they learned friendliness from a Greek village somewhere! And the people who work there don't have any decency either. Keep it up. You have now lost a customer who has eaten with you since 1987. Never again !

Always delicious. Our favorite restaurant with particularly friendly service!

Mega tasty, great service - huge portions

Sensational!! We always used to come here! After about 6 years, back in Wuppertal! Food was great and generous! Thanks to Manoli for the great service and to the team for the really delicious gyros and the pizza with special requests!

It's just super quaint, the owner is a very warm guy. I think with the photos and descriptions you know exactly what you are getting. Had a pizza and wanted extra garlic and the portion was great. Really great value for money.

IThe Jägerschnitzel is highly recommended.

I grew up with the Hellas Grill. There used to be a huge crowd, the portions were generous, you were full, everything was great! Since the sons have taken over the shop and almost none of the old people work there anymore, in my opinion the shop has been run down. For example, there are no longer large pizzas, the "normal" ones are outrageously expensive, but at 60 Sec to Napoli and Co. you get a fantastic pizza. Basically everything has become damn expensive and the portions have become smaller. The reason I only give it 1 star is that last time I had a Bolognese schnitzel which tasted really strange and the feta in the middle was sour. The end result was that I was at home with food poisoning for almost 4 weeks, lost almost 10 kilos because I couldn't keep it down and I still don't have the strength. I have already reported the entire matter to the responsible office and hope that action will be taken there! I'm so sorry I won't be dining there again.

We've just been eating there again for a while. The prices have gone up, the portions are smaller. The salad is no longer what it used to be. We took a dish with us but the tzatziki was missing. The service is only good because Manolis is still there. It's unbelievable how the next generation can manage everything.

Very tasty Greek food! Highly recommended

Wow! Rarely have I found such a good Greek as here in Barmen. Service top, food top... the ambience... well... but still no deductions, because here you can eat and drink well and choose from a very extensive menu! If you haven't been there yet, you should definitely stop by here! 👌👌👌

We decided to stop for lunch and the restaurant was impressive from start to finish. Gyros were nice and juicy, huge portion of fries and for 11.40 euros wheat 3.50 it couldn't be better

Exactly 6 years ago it was given 5 stars, but that was nothing today. It's not worth it if everyone else does it significantly better. Hellas used to be good and recommended, but now it's just not that special anymore. There are many better ones in the valley.

Never had such a bad ham pizza. Update today July 14, 2024. Order a Margherita without oregano and a curry fries. I got a pizza with oregano and a little cheese. Then I gave you pizza to others. They said they had never eaten such bad pizza. My father also said that the curry fries were really bad. Cheap sausage with no taste and fries hard as a rock. They then wanted €13.10 for that. Never again

Appropriate: The Hellas Grill is within walking distance of Alter Markt, in the direction of Barmer Anlagen. The entrance area doesn't necessarily suggest that there are so many seats in two rooms at the back. Even as a new guest you will be greeted warmly and cheerfully and served (even if you don't necessarily receive a 'farewell souzo', which may also be due to the individuality of the new guests). Good food is served here, in very reasonable quality and quantity. The meat is well prepared, the fries are above average and reminiscent of Belgian double-fried ones. The mixed side salad made from sour and raw vegetables is quite decent. Tip: The rich, peppery Metaxa sauce is great.

Delicious gyros and friendly, attentive and fast service. The restaurant offers more space than it seems at first glance.

We had a very tasty meal there. There's no reason to complain.

An additional charge of 1.60 euros to have ketchup and mayo on the fries is quite steep. Experienced here for the first time

Probably the worst Greek restaurant I have ever visited. The dishes are too expensive, the quality of the meat and the way it is prepared is unacceptable which shows that they don't have a professional chef. The store has not been renovated since it opened! The last time I ordered over the phone I was quoted a different price on the phone and when I picked it up I paid a different price. That was the last time I ordered anything from this restaurant.

I've been eating well here for 43 years! And friendly service. Again and again, keep it up! Have eaten here again, the food is great but the prices have increased noticeably and the dishes have become noticeably smaller. The bifteki has shrunk to the size of a meatball. My pizza has become smaller and the price of €15 and around €2 for spinach makes it a very high price that not everyone can afford. As I said, the food was great, the price and quantity no longer suited us, unfortunately.

When we came back here after a long time, the waitress tried very hard to look after us. We were horrified by the "quality" of the food, the lack of care in preparation and presentation, the hygiene and, last but not least, the absolutely unreasonable, horrendous prices. The salad: at least partly not fresh, the lettuce leaves are limp, the ready-made dressing is very sour and anything but tasty. My companion had a measly, absolutely dry “steak” with mountains of French fries. The fried potato sticks proved to be the highlight of the evening because of their crispiness. The base of my pizza came to me as a dry, hard cookie. According to the menu, I ordered Pizza Greco with feta and tomatoes. The base was well covered with cheese; On this white layer (no tomato underneath) there were 5 wafer-thin slices of about a quarter of a tomato, distributed irregularly. The drinks were served in completely wet glasses (absolutely outdated, hygienically questionable and incomprehensible at these prices). The greasy, anything but clean cutlery rounded off the “gain in experience” with the Hellas grill. The atmosphere there is clearly showing its age and seems dingy in places, and the prices cannot be justified. We didn't expect something like that. After this culinary experience we came to the same conclusion: Never again.

It is and remains a better and overpriced chip shop 😏 and you have to wait for the drinks.. and the food is not completely served.. That was definitely the last time, once and for all, to eat in this train station atmosphere 🥴.

First of all: Yes, we were full. No, that doesn't mean it was good. Hey, guys - dry meat, fries were crispy, but somehow not tasty. But the worst thing was the sauce from the wilted side salad. They dare to do something - fresh from the squeeze tube? We all know that things aren't easy in the catering industry. But such bland food at a hefty price shouldn't be the case. We had nothing on the table that I, as an average chef, couldn't have done better. It's a shame for a restaurant that has actually been considered an institution for many years.

Always my pleasure. Nice service, good and plentiful food.

I visited Wuppertal earlier last month on holiday. I'm from the UK. If I ever come to Wuppertal again, I will be happily visiting this restaurant for the second time. I came here for tea on the first evening of my holiday and was not disappointed. I went with my boyfriend. Both of us were looking forward to trying the tzatiki from here, since we emulate tzatiki at home. I've never tasted Hellas' style before. It was smooth and of a creamy texture - absolutely delicious. 😋 I made sure to finish everything on my plate-chips, salad and the grilled chicken and beef-I enjoyed it all so much and I was full after! I've seen a few reviews which said portions were small, I disagree, you can see my picture of our food. The restaurant itself felt cosy in the evening, with the corner table we were sat at. We didn't have to wait long to be served and we weren't waiting for a long time for the food to arrive. We came an hour before closing time, yet the food still tasted of a great quality. The food places in Wuppertal have certainly impressed me this far! 💖 (The only drawback, so I won't take a star off - I speak little German and even I could sense that our waiter, an older male waiter/the owner, had little time for pleasantries anymore and seemed curt in his overall manner towards us.)

We used to get food there regularly. After moving, we didn't eat anything from there for about a year. Because we were on the road, we stopped and grabbed something to eat. 2x gyro plates. Gyros delicious fries were also ok. But the portion of meat is laughable for the price. Too much money was charged for a double portion of fries. A week later second chance... Jägerschnitzel and gratinated pasta... Schnitzel was really disgusting with ready sauce... You could get the chemistry out like that. The pasta with far too little sauce didn't taste like anything. Price performance is now more than inadequate. We won't be coming back again.

I definitely have a new favorite restaurant😊The food is just perfect🤩

After 30 years of Hellas Grill experience, today's worst result!!! The Jägerschnitzel were a disgrace - they definitely ended up in the deep fryer to warm up! The pizza has also declined significantly over the last 2 years... and at 8:45 p.m. there are no more gyros! So all in all, it's really disappointing and we're slowly saying goodbye to Hellas!

Nice staff but the food didn't convince me the last two times. The fries were pretty full of fat and the pizza last time was ok but not really good.

The food is great, especially the gyros (but I haven't eaten much else there). Attention, you can make a reservation online, but it probably can't be accessed on site, so it's better to just call.

For me it's still the best tzatziki at the "Greek". It's a shame that they no longer offer the Lahnsteiner Pils.

Very tasty food and friendly service. Unfortunately, prices have risen quite a bit.

Gyro plate complete with mayo and ketchup 10.60 euros you think it's okay.. Then the disappointment... When unpacking at home... there is no more coleslaw... This way you can also get a cheap price.. And that from a real Greek restaurant... mh .. slight taste.

A very bad restaurant, the service is inappropriate, the food is inedible, and they scammed me

Not really. It's probably better for takeout. Uncomfortable and quite old facility. The meat on the skewers was quite tough. The salad with dressing was ok. Prices have increased everywhere, but a bit too much for this grill. The service was friendly. Parking spaces specifically for the grill diagonally opposite the intersection.

Super delicious food and nice service

It used to be better. Had diarrhea.

Price-performance ratio is not right at all! Prices as high as in a high-quality restaurant. Food is mediocre. Atmosphere is more like a snack bar than a restaurant. Service is ok, an older gentleman is definitely unusual, but it also takes some getting used to. The last time I was there was 15 years ago because I didn't like it back then. I wanted to give it a second chance, but it backfired.

I've known this restaurant since I was a child. Suitable both as a snack and for eating on site. The atmosphere is cozy, rustic and the staff is family-friendly. The dishes are all recommended, from pizza to salads, snacks and seasonal offerings.

I have known Hellas for around 30 years and have always experienced consistent quality here. Same again yesterday. Of course prices have risen, like everywhere else. We really liked the service, quality, ambience and everything else.

Prices have risen sharply. Service and quality of food dropped significantly. For the money you can get better food in a much nicer atmosphere elsewhere.

Delicious Greek food and always ready quickly.

For me it's still the best Greek in Wuppertal. Both the snack bar and the restaurant are top. Been coming here for over 20 years.

Actually zero stars. It was inedible, service was unfriendly and not attentive. The atmosphere is very dated and doesn't seem clean. Price performance very poor.

Unfortunately that was our last meal from Hellas. We pre-ordered by phone and it was very unfriendly. When I picked up the food I was asked very rudely what I wanted, but still better than the young man next to me who wasn't paid any attention to. There was no kind word and refilling the salad was more important than serving the customers. OK, since I took the food with me, it didn't matter to me. When I got home I was shocked, the fries were hard and cold, the gyros were burnt, the tzatziki were runny and the gratinated gyros had a lot of Metaxa sauce. We really, really liked getting our gyros there, but not anymore. What a shame!

The food is not good at all, what you get doesn't even come close to justifying the prices. The service staff, especially one employee, is bad. It's a real shame, a few years ago I would have even recommended Hellas to others

The food is good, no question about it. The service, especially from a specific long-term employee, is more than questionable. It couldn't be more unfriendly. The prices are now so outrageously high that we won't go there anymore. The price-performance ratio is much better elsewhere.

The food was good, the service was nice, the atmosphere was 80s style.

Very friendly service, and the food is also very tasty

Delicious!😉 the staff is very friendly

Super quick preparation, extensive menu and very tasty food. Homemade tzatziki is served in an extra pot so that the gyro doesn't get cold. We'll be back and test more

Have been here several times, unfortunately the prices have risen a lot and the portions have become smaller

Delicious food, top service. Always happy to go.

The staff are nice, but the're some conditions not obvious to visitors - if you order at the counter, you should take your snack or drink in the lobby, not in the hall deeper inside, the waiters have some responsibilities and privilegies. Should you order from the waiters you proceed inside. No English-speaking staff.

Our visit to Hellas Grill was average. The fries were really good, but the currywurst was just mediocre. The portions were too small compared to the prices. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our expectations of what Hellas Grill once was. The atmosphere is now very dated. But the employees are all very friendly.

It doesn't work at all, I just got curry fries, the curry isn't even lukewarm😡

There were times when the food here was tasty. But I would advise everyone not to stay here to eat. Every snack bar tastes better. I don't want to talk about price. I can understand that everything has become expensive, but for 4 normal dishes it's 140 €. Hmmm And the older gentleman who served us doesn't work at all

Half an hour before closing there is no more food. You clean up beforehand! Stupid sayings when asked. Food quality has also declined significantly in recent years. But customer orientation has never been their topic. People are rather unfriendly and make a face. I have known the restaurant itself for over 40 years.

Everyone was very nice, the price was okay, the food was delicious 😋 I can recommend...

We have been coming to Hellas Grill for many years but this time it was just disappointing. We sat at the table for 20 minutes without being handed the card and then left again. Not too tragic. At the next table there was a very drunk carnival party, which meant that it was hard to have a conversation anyway.

Update February 9, 2024 Today we ate at Hellas Grill again and this time will be the last time we left our money there...!!! The quantities were again rather manageable today, but the prices... - disproportionate and simply far too high for what was on offer. I would still be able to swallow this, but the fact that I was charged €1.50 for the packaging for an uneaten food (a piece of pizza) was the last straw that overflowed the camel's back. If I'm going to pay over €50 for a pizza, a tzatziki and a plate with a handful of gyros gratinated with cheese and a similarly sized portion of fries and two cold drinks, then the packaging for the leftover piece of pizza should probably be included. But well… - if this is viewed as sustainable customer service, then the ideas are quite far apart. As I wrote in my first review, I've been coming to Hellas Grill for a good 50 years... - but today was the last time I ate there. Well... - as the saying goes... - "everyone is the architect of his own happiness..." ————————————————————————————————————— After my review from a few months ago, we have eaten at Hellas Grill a few more times. The previous time we were very disappointed because the prices had risen and the quantity and quality of the food had decreased significantly. Well... - we thought... - it was just a bad day... —————————————————————————————————————— I've been coming to eat at Hella Grill for almost 50 years now - not regularly, especially since I no longer live in Wuppertal. So far I've never really been disappointed... - the food served was always good, tasty and adequate in quantity. The service staff were always friendly and accommodating and the ouzo from the house always tastes particularly good. We always enjoy coming back and always go home satisfied.

Normal portion of tzatziki for 7.00 euros We have been regular guests for years now. The prices in conjunction with the food make you think. And if you're a regular, Ouzo might be a bit paltry with just one glass.

Despite our long-standing acquaintance with the restaurant, we were disappointed this time. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, while the prices are disproportionately high. Both the friendliness and the overall quality have decreased significantly.

Great variety in the choice of food, reasonable prices, tastes delicious

We went there spontaneously for lunch yesterday and what can I tell you. I had a Hellas platter with skewers and minced rolls. Skewer completely dead and grilled dry. Mince hardly seasoned, fries limp. Unfriendly waiter simply threw plates down so that several fries fell down. Ambient disaster. Conclusion: We will not enter this restaurant again

Best gyro pizza in Wuppertal - that was once. Unfortunately I have to correct my old review here. Hellas has slowed down a lot and yesterday was the absolute peak. We ate there on site. Two pizzas Crete, one tzatziki, one fries of ketchup mayo, one beer and one wine - 55 euros! Bad service, sitting in the cold and plastic ambience included. We were really disappointed. And unfortunately not for the first time in the last few months. The price list in detail (and yes, I know that everything is getting more expensive, the VAT has been increased and so on, but that doesn't justify it by any stretch of the imagination!!!): - Pizza Crete 15.80 euros (and therefore the most expensive pizza I have ever eaten!) - Tzaziki 7.00 euros (!!!) - French fries with shish kebab sauce and mayo 5.60 euros (!!!!One French fries!!!) And the best thing at the end: 1.50 euros for a pizza box because I didn't finish my meal. Can someone please explain these prices to me? And why does a pizza box now cost 1.50 euros? Would it have been sustainable, reusable packaging, okay, but like that? In addition, the gyros once again consisted more of flab and fat than crispy, juicy meat. At the same time, the plexiglass panes and foil between the tables from Corona times have still not been removed. On the one hand, this makes it very uncomfortable and also prevents heat from spreading. It was really cold there. Had to eat with a jacket. We were served very slowly and rarely, and the waiter's argument regarding the charge for the pizza box was subpar. We decided that that was it for now with Hellas. A pity!

The Hellas Grill was once an institution in Wuppertal. Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined in recent years and is now average.

Das Gyros ist sehr lecker. Pizza schmeckt mir persönlich nicht (Salami wird erst nach dem backen draufgelegt) -ist aber wahrscheinlich Geschmackssache. Ich persönlich bestelle kein Gyrosteller mehr, weil die Pommes ganz oft seltsam schmecken. Alles in allem kann ich drei Sterne vergeben.

Das Essen ist seit über 40 Jahren immer gut.

Wir sind am am Sonntag Abend is Hellas gekommen ca 21uhr 16 haben den Kellner gefragt ob mann noch was essen im Restaurant bekommt. Antwort nein wir schließen um 22 uhr.es war sehr unfreundlich gesagt worden sie können aber vorne essen .praktisch im Eingang. Gott sei dank waren die Herren vorne sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend haben uns essen zum mitnehmen gemacht was auch schmackhaft war. Dafür Dankeschön. Aber der stellvertretende Chef war einfach unfreundlich

Es hat sich leider viel geändert. Leider nicht mehr lecker 😋 und sehr teuer geworden.

Wir haben für Silvester ein Buffet für 28 Personen bestellt und waren rundum zufrieden. Das Essen war lecker, ausreichend und wurde sehr nett angerichtet. Die Gäste haben auch zu später Stunde immer wieder gerne nachgenommen. Es steht jetzt schon fest, dass das nächste Buffet auch wieder beim Hellas-Grill bestellt wird. EMPFEHLENSWERT!!!

Lecker Bifteki gefüllt mit Feta Zwiebeln Rahmcampingsouse Bauernsalat Pommes weiß Zaziki Fladenbrot

Leider nicht mehr so wie es mal war. Preise viel zu hoch. Freundlichkeit und Qualität haben stark nachgelassen. Schade, war mal super dort. Wir kommen nicht wieder!!!!

Seit Jahren gutes Essen...sehr guter Service...sehr empfehlenswert

Freundliches Personal Die Preise sind allerdings oben angesiedelt angesichts des Ambientes

Schöne, rustikale Einrichtung und super nette Mitarbeiter! Und das Essen war auch gut!

Sehr gemütlich, nette, höflich und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Und leckeres, abwechslungsreiches Essen.

Sehr lecker und sehr freundlich

Sehr zuvorkommender Kellner, so möchte man als Gast behandelt werden. Das Essen war ebenfalls zum ersten Advent eine Köstlichkeit, sowie sehr spendabel serviert. Ein Besuch lohnt sich also vollkommen. :)

Essen wie immer super. Hat aber preislich auch angezogen.

Bewertung bezieht sich selbstverständlich auf einen Imbiss! Es ist zwar eine Art Restaurant angegliedert auch mit entsprechenden Preisen, aber handelt sich immer noch um einen Imbiss. Dafür sind die Speisen recht schmackhaft. Auch der Service ist durchaus gut.

This restaurant is much bigger than it appears from the outside. Very convenient for the opera house. Good food, very clean, friendly.

Kleine feine Gaststätte mit guten und schmackhaften Essen, freundliches Personal 👍

Es ist nichts zu mäkeln . Eigentlich ists mir zuviel Salz an den Gerichten . Trotzdem empfehlenswert .

war früher besser,einfach schade

Leider standen wir nach Eintritt ins Restaurant etliche Zeit im Eingangsbereich, da der Chef in ein Gespräch mit anderen Gästen vertieft war und uns nur einen kurzen Seitenblick zu warf! Als er endlich zu uns kam, wies er mit kurzen Worten "da hinten" in den hinteren Bereich! Die junge Dame, die dann unsere Wünsche aufnahm,war aber sehr freundlich ! Die Getränke und das Essen kamen sehr flott, es war auch lecker, aber der Wein war zu warm!

Ich wohne schon seit langem nicht mehr in Wuppertal. War dort aber zu einer Fortbildung. Was soll ich sagen, Mittagspause im Hellas. Das Restaurant hat definitiv nicht nachgelassen. Der Service war sogar außerordentlich gut. Von daher bedankt für eine leckere Mittagspause!

Wollte schon immer einmal zum Hellas Grill hat sich aber nie ergeben. Nach einem Spaziergang am Toelleturm bin ich auf dem nach Hause Weg endlich einmal ins Hellas. Das Wetter war schön, ich saß mit meinem Hund draußen. Es war kompliziert mit einem Welpen an der Leine hatte ich doch nur eine Hand frei. Ich musste rein um meine Bestellung aufzugeben, dann kam der Ruf von drinnen Pizza fertig, ich musste wieder rein um meine Pizza und mein Getränk abzuholen. Wie mache ich das nur mit nur einer verfügbaren Hand??? Ich war ratlos an der einen Hand der Welpe an der Leine der zog und an der anderen Hand ein Teller mit Pizza und ein Glas mit einem Getränk, das erkannte dann auch der Pizzabäcker und entschied sich dafür mir doch behilflich zu sein und brachte mir Pizza und Getränk zum Tisch. Nach dem Verzehr musste ich noch einmal rein um zu bezahlen. Wäre es jetzt voll gewesen, wäre es nicht möglich gewesen mir meine Bestellung an den Tisch zu bringen. Pizza war zwar gut, aber für mich keine Option für die Zukunft,weil komplette Selbstbedienung. SCHADE 😥
