Herkules in Leipzig

Super service 👍, great food and afterwards there were 5 stars Metaxa

Yes, according to my friends in Leipzig, this is the best Greek restaurant in the city. There's also plenty of parking. The entire team, spanning several generations, is very pleasant and friendly. The lunch menu from Monday to Friday leaves nothing to be desired. The prices are very reasonable.

Six of us sat in the front area. It was pleasantly quiet, allowing us to have our own conversations without any background noise. Very friendly staff and fast service. Delicious food, a good selection, and fair prices. You can enjoy your time there without feeling rushed.

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be. Service was great, but the food was only warmed up and quickly cold, Metaxa sauce was much too sweet, the price-performance was subpar. Hopefully just an isolated case...

Solid Greek in the neighborhood. Food ok. Were there for the second time The ouzo, which is classic elsewhere at the end, is probably only available to regular guests.

We spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening there. Nice atmosphere, very friendly and courteous service, and the food was super tasty. Price-performance ratio very good 👍, we will definitely come back 🙂 By the way, it was very full even on a Wednesday evening, so booking in advance is recommended 💡

My Greek of choice in Halle. Very nice and friendly staff! When it comes to food you can only order a few things wrong, everything was tasty and easy to digest. Thank you 😘

Best Greek in town. Totally delicious and the staff was very accommodating

Good and practical as a Greek sports restaurant on the neighboring football field.

Food not typically Greek, too bland, too dry. Price-performance ratio not good.

Friendly reception. Were escorted to a table. Sunday lunchtime was well filled. We still got a place without any problems. There was an ouzo on the house right at the beginning. A crisp salad too. Dishes were a decent portion. Everyone would be well fed. There is also an outdoor area for the warmer days. I can recommend it. Service good, tables are cleaned after every guest. Price/performance good.

My favorite Greek restaurant in Leipzig!!!

Unfortunately I can't understand the good reviews. My girlfriend and I were disappointed. The food was way too salty and the vegetables tasted moldy. Price performance doesn't fit.

Such warm staff, great service and the food was delicious. Even after more than 15 years, the standard has been maintained, perhaps even improved.

Nice authentic and tasty Greek with very friendly staff. Thank you, always welcome.

Delicious. We would be happy to come back.

I was with you for the first time. Unfortunately, the drink I ordered, “apple spritzer,” was more water than anything else. Was reluctantly exchanged. After about an hour the “unfriendly” waitress came and took the order. After 2 hours the food was there. Unfortunately COLD!!!! I would be happy if it were a little friendlier and the food was warm.

From now on our regular restaurant! Delicious!

We were guests here following an invitation. An extremely friendly business owner and a welcoming atmosphere greeted us as we entered. The food and drink menu was well sorted. The dishes we chose were extremely tasty and plentiful. We had a very nice evening.

Mega tasty and very friendly service

If I can recommend a Greek restaurant for the west of Leipzig, it would be Herkules. Staff always friendly. Prices OK. Food at its best. Come back ;)

Typical Greek restaurant with the usual hospitality. I can only complain about the somewhat sparse plate of the Zaganaki starter. Recommendation: the Zaganaki on a lettuce leaf and perhaps a little raw vegetables round off the picture of the tasty dish.

My price-performance winner from the Greeks in Leipzig, great service, great boss who has his shop under control.

I have known this restaurant for 25 years. I often ate there back then and had fond memories of it. and by moving again 2 weeks ago. Nothing has actually changed. Same ambience, everything the same... After so long. However, the price, performance and food were better.

It was delicious again! Gladly again!

Always an experience... always nice... very familiar and extremely friendly

The food is very tasty. I like the pork medallions with Metaxa sauce best. Delicious. The starters are also highly recommended. There is still room for improvement in the service, for example when there are empty glasses on the table. Yes, and the prices have become significantly more expensive, like everywhere else.

Very friendly staff, food super tasty and fried to perfection.

We had a special experience today! The chef Panaghiotis personally prepared sea bream in a salt crust for us! Cooked to perfection and extremely tasty! Thank you for this taste experience!

Friendly welcome, but after ordering the food it waned, drinks were empty, no one asked if we wanted anything else. Unfortunately the food was very unseasoned and far from Greek, everything was very Germanized... Looked better than it tasted

The food tastes great. Waiters are nice. We just waited about an hour for the food.

Very nice friendly service, I would love to come back

As always, it was super tasty. Service very attentive. Is our favorite Greek. Thank you for being there.

Visited on recommendation. I've seen better Greek restaurants. It was OK, but unfortunately the price/performance doesn't match.

Very cozy restaurant Delicious food and super nice service Gladly again

We have enjoyed going to this restaurant for many years. It's always cozy and a great meal. The Hercules is very good and recommended. Heiko and Karin

A very nice restaurant, close to a sports field. Price/performance ratio is okay. You get good Greek cuisine, there is plenty of it and there is something for every taste. The staff is very nice and accommodating, we enjoy staying here. Even though it's a bit out of the way, this restaurant is still worth a visit...

Finest food, very friendly staff. You feel like you're at home.✌🏼👌

The ambience is nice, staff is nice, Chicken breast was very dry and the cheese sauce was very bland

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. Would love to come back.

So far ok, but nothing more. I've never had such a bad Metaxa sauce, probably ketchup with cream. Pooh. Aperol can also be improved, not enough in the glass for the money. In general, price performance simply doesn't match. There are better Greeks.

Very spacious rooms with outdoor seating and very good Greek cuisine!

A very angry restaurant owner, before sitting down to the table, we always wash our hands. And this person tells us you always go to the toilet 🤬Actually, normal people always wash their hands and it’s shameful, it’s unpleasant that you should say that to your guests. People go out to eat and bring him money, and this is how they greet you. As for the food, it’s very economical, the portions are small. They themselves hint at tips, we always leave without it. We respect the work of waiters. The best and most delicious Greek restaurant in Leipzig is Ambrosia, I recommend this restaurant, the owner there is kind with a soul and his name is Theos 🥰❤️👍Large portions, you will really like it, it’s very tasty, you won’t regret going there. We won’t go to this Hercules again, we don’t like the food and the owner and the waiters 👎⛔️

Good tasty food, service was top. All in all a nice, relaxing stay

Overall good but still room for improvement. Unfortunately my meal was a bit small, only 5 croquettes with the gratinated gyros in Metaxa sauce. I was still hungry for it. The service could also have been a little friendlier. So things are getting better Paid a total of €65 including drinks for 2.

Service mediocre Small portions Meat/gyros fried to death Sauces look bad and taste bad Ouzo only on request

I'm currently just visiting Leipzig and just wanted to have something delicious Greek to eat and Hercules really did everything perfectly. You can park right in front of the restaurant and the waiters/waiters are all super friendly. A few minutes inside and my order was taken and despite the fact that it was very full on the terrace, my food came to the table within 15 minutes (Herculean plate) Mega! The food is very good and the price is right, you can't complain. All in all, when I'm back in Leipzig I'll come here again 😊

Very good card. Inexpensive, friendly even when the store is full, and dogs are welcome too. Every Sunday again!

We've been eating there for several years now and it only gets better and even if you sometimes have to wait a bit, the visit is worth it every time.

It is very beautiful and you feel really comfortable and secure. They are very polite and friendly, as well as very helpful. Since I am seriously ill, my every wish will be fulfilled. I really like going there.

Best Greek in Leipzig ☺️ There is nothing to add to the positive reviews 👍

So it's probably not recommended for food since most of it is bought in a wholesale market. Nothing freshly prepared. Greek is different. Never go there again

That evening on June 30, 24, everything was actually bad in the restaurant, probably because it was closed in July. It started with the annoyed waiter, who wants to get his train at 11 p.m. and therefore doesn't wait longer than 10 p.m. Then it was announced that there would be no gyros or minced meat as it would be closed from tomorrow. If this had been communicated 48 hours in advance when making a telephone reservation for a group of 10 people, it would have been understandable. But accepting the reservation and not pointing out the circumstances wasn't possible at all. The kitchen closed at 9:30 p.m. You weren't even allowed to order drinks, the glasses still had to be washed. After you have found a meal, the next disappointment... the Metaxa sauce is actually just ketchup with cream and so completely without any Metaxa taste that even the food was returned. By far the worst restaurant experience in recent years.

The best Greek I've been to in a long time. The value for money for the lunch menu is great. The portion size is perfect and the taste is soooo good! We'll definitely be back!

We ordered our food to take away and unfortunately it was the worst food we have ever eaten. The Metaxa sauce is an extremely sweet tomato sauce and was inedible, so my entire meal ended up in the trash... Unfortunately never again

Always great. The food is simply delicious. Great service. Many thanks to the entire team.

Courteous service. Rustic atmosphere. Fresh, tasty dishes. Special requests welcome. Gladly again.

Our regular Greek restaurant since 1994. We warn our Berlin and Munich relatives to have a family Easter dinner as a must every year at Herkules. Ate Easter lamb yesterday, delicious as always.

Simply the best Greek in Leipzig. I've been coming here regularly since it opened in 1994 and have never been disappointed. Just go there, try it and be amazed. 😉

Super friendly service and everything is always freshly prepared. A great team

I'm very satisfied I've been eating there for many years. Keep it up

If you are looking for a very tasty Greek restaurant in Leipzig, then you have definitely come to the right place. The dishes are small, as is typical for the Greeks. The food is fabulous and the service is also a 10 out of 10. If you are in Leipzig, you should definitely try this restaurant. I'd love to come back here sometime. Thank you for the great experience

We recommend. Nice welcome from staff who accompany you to the table. The waiting time was a little longer than we are used to in a Greek restaurant. We really enjoyed the food. The Metaxa sauce was particularly tasty, really delicious. The sauce was excellent, we could have eaten it plain with a spoon, the sauce tasted so delicious. The meat was also tender and tasted great.

Very friendly service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere. We recommend. We'd love to come back.

Very nice and courteous service, although the wait was a little longer, but completely understandable on a Saturday evening. Food was also really tasty. We're from out of town, but we'd love to come back :)

Great food and a great evening here!

Food as always solid, nothing special but tasty. Unfortunately, the ambience is not worthy of a Greek. You could also sit in a German restaurant. It's a shame actually. Vegetarian dishes are also on offer, which is very commendable for a Greek restaurant 😀

As always, ambience is a matter of taste.

A really delicious dinner. It's worth stopping by here.

Delicious food and a harmonious atmosphere. Portion sizes and prices are reasonable. A reservation is usually an advantage. We ate with our children this time and the staff were great with the kids (not just ours) and took the kids into account when ordering. Our junior was super proud after placing his order. We can still only recommend it.

Price-performance ratio wasn't right, food was cold, small portions, high price, had to wait a long time for my 2nd glass of wine, 3 glasses were charged on my bill. It doesn't work at all!

Beautiful evening, great food, fantastic staff!

Unfortunately I have to give it four stars because I didn't, it tasted really delicious but the portion was just too small.

Fast service and good food. However, I was missing some sauce with the pangasius fillet with rice. That was pretty dry. Unfortunately Glossaki is no longer on the menu.

Very friendly and fast although very busy. 👍

Cozy Greek restaurant that also offers enough space for larger groups. The food was of a good standard, although I found the portions a bit small for the prices (most dishes cost between €16-19). We were served quickly and friendly, the service was impeccable. The ambience with the dark wood and many reddish accents seems inviting - and a little old-fashioned. But that's a matter of taste.

High price level, but extremely delicious food!

Very tasty food and friendly staff, fast service, the prices are also okay. Thanks to the team. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious food, great service and ambience, an all around very nice evening. I can recommend the restaurant 100%

Das Essen war lecker und die Ausstattung war echt toll. Danke sehr für das Erlebnis mit euch. Haben sie schöne Osterferien.

As always, great. The food is very good. The employees are quick and friendly. Everything fits there!

Get a table even without a reservation. Nice service, delicious food

Went for lunch again today because everything tasted great and the service was very nice.

The best Greek I know has been going here for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed! Great food, friendly service and always worth a stop!

As always, it was a celebration for me...

We felt very comfortable. The lunch menu is highly recommended. Thanks for the friendly service. We'd love to come back

Our regular Greek for years. We are very satisfied and would love to come back again and again. The food is always delicious, the service is attentive and friendly.

Had a short vacation in Leipzig and went out for dinner. Food very tasty and great service. The Greeks in our town can take an example from this. Restaurant highly recommended. 🔝

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere and very nice staff.

It was definitely our last visit. We used to like being here but now you just get checked in and the staff is annoyed. The main thing is that everything happens quickly so that the table can be occupied at least twice.

Always polite and friendly. There were six of us there today. Food arrived at the same time and special requests were responded to. Always a nice experience.

There has been less and less on the plate in recent years, but it is very tasty. The atmosphere in the outdoor area is not special because it is too loud, too narrow and too hectic

It was great, as always. is our local Greek, always friendly service and the food is excellent. You should always order on the weekend. We are still very satisfied across the board and often go there for lunch. 2x Martina, Sylvia, Lutz, Bernd and Holger from the big round table. Thanks to the entire staff. February 19, 2024

Recently I was eating here with a large group and what we were served was an absolute disgrace. The saganaki was simply thrown onto a plate with no love and no garnish except a lemon. We also noticed that the Metaxa sauce tasted different for everyone and for me it tasted especially like a ketchup and mayo mixture. The gyro wasn't done... does not belong to a Greek.

Delicious food, cheap prices, friendly staff! 👍🏻

Very well maintained, good food and the staff was courteous. We were a wedding party and almost 20 people. Everything worked and service was quick. Highly recommended 👍

Delicious food and friendly service

We came to the restaurant and had to wait until someone agreed to take us to a free table. I ordered gyros, you can't really go wrong. But I was a bit confused by the price-performance ratio. For almost 18 euros I can get something better at other Greek restaurants I've visited so far. The waitress only became friendlier after she got a tip. I probably won't eat there again.

The Herkules deserves an unreserved recommendation and is certainly one of the three best Greek restaurants in Leipzig. The gyros and tzatziki are delicious and the sheep's cheese is a poem. Gladly again!

Good, bustling atmosphere. The starters were definitely the best course, the mains were still very good but a little disappointing. Mixed grill had tasty lamb and liver, but the chicken was very dry. Beware that the calamari main course is not crispy fried calamari! Would still highly recommend this restaurant.
