Herkules II Mahlsdorf in Berlin

By far the best Greek restaurant I know. Fantastic food, super friendly service. Make a reservation!

Great food, the best Greek restaurant I know, and I know a few. The best Greek restaurant outside of Greece.

Every four weeks, we have a fun get-together at Herkules II, our favorite Greek restaurant. The staff is always so friendly, the food so delicious and plentiful, and even the occasional free ouzo – we're always happy to come back. Thanks to all of you. Barbara on behalf of Lebensfreunde

Top-notch service, excellent food, attentive and very friendly hosts, and free parking nearby. Prices are a bit high, but acceptable. All in all, always worth a visit; we'd gladly return. Reservations are definitely recommended.

I frequent many restaurants, and here I have to say that the service is top-notch, as is the quality of the food. The world's best staff and the best chef, and if something isn't quite right, which almost never happens, they do their best to rectify it. All in all, highly recommended and, in comparison to authentic Greek cuisine, top-notch. Parakalo

I chose this restaurant for my husband's birthday because of the good reviews. I was so disappointed. As soon as I walked in, I wanted to leave straight away. The noise and atmosphere were like a train station. With those reviews, the food must be great, I thought. And no, I'm not super demanding and more down-to-earth. What we were served looked like it had been warmed up in a microwave from the supermarket. And it would have tasted even better then. I asked them to make my husband something special for dessert because it was his birthday. The special thing came in the form of a mini candle, carelessly stuck into his ice cream and not even lit. However, they diligently refilled our ouzo without being asked. If you refused, you would get an incredulous look on your face. You realized why when you got the bill, which was twice as high. And oh, they had made a mistake with the table number.

5 stars, nothing more needs to be said 👍

Very tasty food and super friendly service!

Very friendly staff. We had a lovely evening. We'd be happy to come back.

It was very tasty. The price is justified for the meal and the salad as a starter. All in all, I highly recommend it.

It was a wonderful afternoon with delicious drinks, great food, and fantastic service. We'd love to come back.

Yes, with criticism. Greek cuisine thrives on garlic and its good quality. The garlic in my meal today was certainly not of good quality—it wasn't fresh. A very unpleasant odor. Fresh garlic doesn't smell nearly as pungent. A shame, because it's not necessary. Best, Exner

Great atmosphere, top service, moderate prices, and very tasty food—everything was top-notch!

Overall everything was good, the food was delicious. Service 50/50, one waiter was very friendly the other didn't pay attention to us at all. But despite that, we liked everything.

The service is fantastic. The food is top-notch. The price/performance ratio is okay.

It's always a pleasure to be a guest here. Well, it's almost like family. The friendliness and service here are unique. This is pure Greece. We look forward to seeing you again.

Simply delicious, the best Greek restaurant anywhere. Our absolute favorite restaurant. We always enjoy coming here, and absolutely everything tastes good. The service is always very friendly. A visit is an absolute must!

Best Greek restaurant I know! Super delicious meat dishes. Great service, endless ouzo, never a hassle with complaints or anything like that.

One of my favorite Greek restaurants in Berlin. Great service, generous portions, good quality meat, and decent ouzo, too.

Best Greek restaurant in Berlin and the surrounding area. Everything there is simply top-notch

I highly recommend it, I have rarely had such juicy, fresh gyros

We simply love going to Sakis because it's our second living room. Delicious food and heartfelt service, no matter how busy the place is. Simply fantastic.

Top restaurant...super friendly service...food also great...always happy to go back

I've never been disappointed here. Delicious food and a cool crew.

The lunch menu is amazing... the portions aren't that huge.

Overall, highly recommended. The food is good, the staff is friendly, but sitting outside isn't so nice, right on the street.

I've been there a few times now and everything was good but I like Hercules 1 better

This is our favorite restaurant. It's rare to find such friendly staff. The food is delicious and plentiful. My favorite dish is the one with Metaxa sauce; you can't find it anywhere else as delicious. It's best to make a reservation in advance, as it's usually quite busy.

We had a table reservation. 10/10. I've been there four times now, and it's always been good. The food comes out quickly, and the menu is beautifully decorated. The service is friendly and humorous. The food was also very tasty and freshly prepared; kudos to the chefs. The Metaxa sauce is also simply amazing.

Very friendly service, delicious food, and the house wine is delicious! We'd love to come back!

Very good and nice restaurant it was as always a great pleasure

Very good food at a reasonable price. Seating is quite cramped and it's loud. Reservations are recommended.

Very tasty, polite, good value for money, would definitely go back!

Great service and delicious, large portions. But you have to reserve a table, otherwise you'll have little chance.

Very good service. Very tasty food at fair prices. However, it's very noisy inside.

We had a wonderful evening there yesterday. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Even after we were inside for our 2 1/1 hours, we were able to sit outside for a long and comfortable time.

Food was very tasty and very fast service

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I haven't been your guest yet, but I'm happy to see that there still seem to be restaurant operators who, under the pretext of being driven by inflationary tendencies, don't aggressively stuff their pockets and instead strive for an affordable price level. Thank you and all the best to your business in the future.

Traditional Greek place with pig portions of good food and a jocular, friendly atmosphere. The staff are great, and the food is wonderful.

Highly recommended. Great food.

Very friendly service and also very tasty food. I'm a relatively good eater and really struggled to eat everything - so the portions are decent. Anyone who likes to drink ouzo will always be catered for there. As soon as the waiters see that the glasses are empty, they refill them or ask if they should be refilled. All in all, a top restaurant that I will definitely eat at again!

Always good and friendly waiters.

For years, we've only had this one Greek restaurant. Everything is just right here: the food, the staff, everything is authentic and lovely!

The best Greek ever 🤗, great service and super delicious food 👍

We had dinner there today with 8 people after a funeral. The staff was very friendly. The food was really, really tasty. We would be happy to come back.

Good normal cuisine combined with very good service...unfortunately the comfort is missing because it is very loud in the large room at rush hour...

Mega delicious food, great service, great team.

It's always a pleasure to eat here because the crew is amazing, warmth is very important!!!!!

good Greek restaurant with friendly service

Worth a recommendation. The food was very tasty and the staff were extremely friendly. Always my pleasure

Visited again after a year and wasn't disappointed, the food was very tasty and rich, the nice waiter was very attentive and quick, clear recommendation, we would be happy to come back 👍👍👍👍👍

A lovely, quaint but glorious Greek place. 10/10… will come again,.. have come again, still great.

The service staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was great, I had the lamb platter as a main course and the prawns as a starter. There was definitely no shortage of ouzo^^ The only thing that was lacking was the space, hence only three stars for the ambience. Definitely always worth a visit.

Everything fine, The food is always delicious, The staff is very friendly and accommodating, we really enjoy being there. Have already pre-ordered for next time.

This restaurant is outstanding. The waiters are incredibly friendly and the food tastes fantastic. It is recommended to reserve a table in advance.

Here I got the best and tastiest Metaxa sauce I've ever eaten. The gyros were also very tender and didn't contain a bit of fat. The other dishes such as bifteki and grilled skewers were also very tasty. What's also a huge plus point here is that the good vitamin water is regularly topped up :D The service staff are all nice and very quick with the order. Only the ambience is a bit like a train station, it is very loud when the restaurant is full. But otherwise the best Greek I've ever been to.

Very attentive service, Ouzo tasted good and was refilled very often. There is also a good selection for children with huge portions. The food is great and very plentiful. Luckily you can have the leftovers packed up.

The best Greek in the world including neighboring planets

Hospitality, food, store furnishings - everything was great.

Taste meets generosity at Uso. Everything is great, it's always delicious, but always well attended

Yes, the employees are super friendly, the food is delicious, very large portions.

We have been coming here for many years. The staff is always friendly and in a good mood. You don't have to wait long for the food and it's impeccable. You should definitely take a look here. It's best to call ahead and make a reservation.

Very tasty food, great service! We'll be back soon!! Only recommended!

Very tasty food, super nice staff, have been there several times now, can only be recommended!

We really like it here, the staff is super nice and friendly and the food is very plentiful and delicious. We like coming here. Ambiance 👍 Hospitality 👍 Service 👍 Food 👍 Ouzo 😉👍

The best Greek restaurant. Thank you very much

Really good Greek restaurant. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area when it comes to Greek. The food is really good & they have the best gyros special here. I can only recommend it. The service is also great, the ouzo is always refilled 😉👍🏽 You should definitely make a reservation in advance, otherwise it could sometimes be difficult.

Best Greek in Berlin, highly recommended. The food is lavish and the price is also great. There is ouzo in abundance and everyone is totally friendly and accommodating. I'm always happy to be a guest there.

The food (cheaper at lunchtime until 3 p.m.) was fresh and large portions. It's always full and tables are often reserved. I can recommend it

Super nice waiters. Ouzo is always refilled. The food was good, but the flavor explosion was missing. The tzatziki was homemade and fresh. Gyros were great, unfortunately my garlic potatoes didn't taste like anything. Unless there was garlic on it. Also the pork fillet. The first piece was super tender, the second piece was probably already frozen. Unfortunately it was very tasty because it wasn't seasoned. The vegetables are really great and fresh.

Delicious food and nice service. But always well attended. Reservations recommended.

After my mum's birthday party, which I organized here: I'd be happy to go again. 18 guests, all full and satisfied (October 2024). 5* Everything was great.

Super nice service, delicious food, the price was a little more expensive than what you would expect from a Greek restaurant, but it was justified.

Good food, nice service perfect!

We were there last Friday, first-class food, very attentive service, and the boss is super friendly, unique. We can highly recommend the restaurant.

The hospitality at Herkules II is truly outstanding. There are some good Greeks in the area but he has stood out on this point for years. Sometimes you don't remember what you ate, but it always tasted really delicious 😜

Rich, very tasty food. Very large portions. Great service. Unfortunately a bit noisy in the restaurant. Reservation recommended.

Food is delicious, service very fast. The only thing I dont like is the limit of 2hrs per reservation. You cannot fully relax and enjoy time with friends due to time pressure.

Best Greek ever. Yes, I haven't been to everyone yet. I don't have to, it's available here.

We have been with you as guests for over 10 years. You could almost think that this business is a family business. The employees work hand in hand and there is no employee who pulls a face. Guests should definitely make reservations. This store is full at any time of the day. As always, we left satisfied. It's nice when the employees read your wishes from your lips. Kind regards, Bella 🫶🏼

A Greek restaurant with lots of staff and good service. Fast operation without being intrusive. Opening at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, 12:10 p.m. full house! Always a good sign! Good food, clear, well-stocked menu. I'd love to go back...

Hello, it's not that great there because: Everything is structured according to the size and table occupancy, because hardly ever sat down = menu and drink request. What if I haven't even looked in there yet? Comfortable food is not popular there. Station concourse atmosphere, which I find completely okay... but not for people who can't handle volume. About the food: The food is generally delicious, no question about it! But: I imagine GYROS among other things: crispy pieces that you can at least partially poke into...and not a chopped up pile that you can only pick up with a KNIFE AND FORK. Totally out of the question for €20. I can do better at home!! About the service: Everyone is funny, friendly and accommodating...and the ouzo flows freely. But it can't be that the table around me is already being cleared while some people are still EATING!!! Hellooooo? I'm eating, NOT running. Maybe I would like to poke my neighbor's croquette?? You feel totally rushed there...and at these prices. After 45 minutes we were done...and completely unintentionally. I'll never eat out again!!

Delicious. Great staff. We are always thrilled

As always, very tasty. The reception is always friendly, like with good friends. We were lucky to get a table spontaneously. Better reserve.

As always, great, super nice waiters and the food was great again.

Our “body Greek”! I don't know anyone better! TOP. Unfortunately, prices have now gone through the roof. I think almost €20 for souvlaki is pretty steep. Many dishes now cost well over €20! You have to be able to afford that! Too bad!

We absolutely love this Greek restaurant! The food was simply heavenly - so incredibly delicious that we can hardly put it into words. Even though we chose the pick up option and picked it up a little later than 3:50pm, the food was still wonderfully warm and fresh. You can immediately tell that the cooking here is made with love. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the portions generous, and everything was carefully prepared down to the last detail. Even packaged, the food didn't lose its magic - an absolute masterpiece! The pickup went smoothly and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We can highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and look forward to ordering again soon (or enjoying it on site next time!). Thank you for this fantastic culinary experience! Marcus and Jenni

We were there at Christmas and it was really crowded. Nevertheless, the service was very good, attentive and quick. The food is plentiful, with a wide selection. There's not much for vegetarians/vegans, but that's not unusual for Greeks.

By far the best Greek restaurant in the area. Very friendly staff, top service and fair prices for extremely delicious food. Always my pleasure.

I was there with my work colleagues and it was a really great evening!

Cozy atmosphere, good food, very friendly fast service, but the drinks prices - VERY expensive.

Food was very good. The staff were super nice and attentive.

You won't be disappointed here. We have been guests there for years and the food, the service and the Greek flair are very good.

The best Greek far and wide. I've been going here since it's been around. Never anywhere else again. The best people, the best food, the best vibes and the food never let up. 1a with ☆

Many thanks to the entire team. As always, it was a wonderful celebration in honor of my wife's birthday.

The food was once a 1 with stars, but today I can't recommend it at all. I won't go there again.

All I can say is that they are very good and friendly

Always friendly and fast service, solid Greek cuisine, always a pleasure.

Nice atmosphere, great food and good service!

The food was opulent and tasted excellent, especially the steaks. The service was attentive and the staff very friendly. We'd love to come back!
