Knossos in Gera

The food was great, but for me there are too many people there and you can't relax there

Super tasty, inexpensive, 3 course menu with salad, soup, main course, dessert (lunch), slightly smaller portion of liver but delicious.

The restaurant is very good, the food tastes very good and is very intense in taste. The German dishes on the menu are also very good. I would actually give this restaurant 4.5 stars. The half star is only missing because of the waiting time, which can be attributed to overcrowding. Generally highly recommended!

Excellent as always 😉👍 Best in the area

A top restaurant with top staff and service, top delicious food, large portions - I can only recommend it

Great food. Very friendly service. We always enjoy going there.

Women's Day 2025 The food was great. The portions were large, nicely prepared and tasty. The serving staff was friendly and helpful. Due to the noise caused by other guests (“ladies”), conversation at your own table was only possible by shouting. It was really a disaster. These “ladies” (around 20) behaved in an impossible way and the boss tolerated it. People from several tables complained to the staff. The guests in question turned the music really loud (for about 2.5 hours) (staff turned it down, the women turned it loud again and so on...), danced (the staff almost couldn't get through with the plates of food or drinks), shouted, stood on the benches, sang loudly and incorrectly. We sat in the small glass room and were bombarded with uninvited noise. This is a restaurant and not a disco or a club. You want to spend a nice evening, eat well and chat. The boss came after we complained to the staff. He wanted to sugarcoat everything, about the last few years and stuff like that... Bad luck, there were guests at my table for the 4th Women's Day and I was there for the second time, but no one had ever experienced anything like that. He is the boss, he has house rules and is therefore in charge. But no, he lets the guests scare him away. After the conversation, after 5-10 minutes, there was finally silence and you could even hear the quiet Greek background music. We will eat somewhere else next year and think about whether we will eat there again. However, because of the terrible noise.

Good service, good food. Highly recommended

Top Greek... Upper price segment

Gera's best Greek🥰 Be sure to pre-order 🙋

All in all we really liked it. The portions are very large and it tastes good, the staff is friendly. Unfortunately, we didn't like the ambience that much; you feel a bit like you're in a train station, as loud and crowded as it is. Unfortunately we had to wait 2 hours for our food and were a bit disappointed. The salad was barely edible as it was so sour. The main courses are very meat-heavy, but taste good.

Very nicely decorated, I felt comfortable. The service is very friendly. The food was VERY tasty. Five stars are not enough.

Yummy. Order a table in advance.

The rice was cold and the gyros was dry despite the metaxa sauce. The staff were sometimes only half-involved but generally friendly. Despite complaints and obviously only half eating the portion, I was allowed to pay the full price. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I won't eat there again.

Above all, the friendly service, the very good food and the problem-free parking are positive things to mention here.

For 13 years, good food and good service. We always like to come back!!!

After countless visits, we 4 girls still feel comfortable in Knossos. The food is also delicious, the wonderful starter soups and the home-baked bread. We have been trying to get the recipe for a long time. And the service is very nice and the cleanliness is very good, we definitely always feel like we are in very good hands

As always, perfect food, very friendly and affordable.

Unfortunately the food is just average. It's incredibly loud and crowded. The employees seem overwhelmed, which means you have to wait a little longer for some plates. Metaxa sauce is more of a ready-made sauce than homemade and is heavy on the stomach. Fries like at every snack bar. The pan appears to be heated in the microwave, red hot on the outside and lukewarm in the middle. The liver itself is very tender. Unfortunately we didn't like it and we won't be coming back.

I can't understand all the good reviews. The food, especially the gyro meat, was burnt and extremely dry, the mini leg had bone splinters. After the starter (garlic bread), which was far too flabby and saturated with oil, we were forgotten about our main course and when we asked, we always said: I'll send the colleague who is responsible. When you order food that comes in a pan, you quickly notice that everything is blazing hot on the outside and rather cold on the inside... maybe microwave? ... Apart from the enormous noise, we won't go there again... Absolutely no recommendation from us. Have a nice day . .

I can't give one star less, everything was great, the food is great, the prices are moderate, we were never left out of the water and the ouzo was also happily refilled, thank you very much for your hospitality.

My rating: 5☆ The "Knossos" is located in a shopping center at the intersection of Straße des Bergmanns and Dornaer Straße. Parking spaces are sufficient and free of charge. It can be reached on the 1st floor via stairs or elevator. The meal was according to the “lunch menu” on September 28th, 2021 Despite the restaurant being full and without having booked in advance, we were immediately assigned the last free and cleaned table. The service was exemplary for us: fast, attentive and polite. For lunch there was also an Uzo for each guest and a starter soup (!) at no extra charge. We were very satisfied with the main course ("Hellas platter" with rice, "Gyros" with homemade fries, ...). Even a small dessert was served free of charge. As a “Gera visitor”, I recommend this restaurant and will visit it again myself. UPDATE of my 2021 review as follows: As a visitor to Gera, I (or we) discovered that there are changes to the lunch menu. 🤔 The prices for the food have been increased.😳 Ok - like almost everywhere.☹️ But what doesn't work at all (and I personally think it's a negative trend in this location) is the price of beer: 0.5 liters for €5.50❗️...👎. For this reason, myself and my friends have now decided that we will no longer visit this restaurant, as nice as it was in the past (service, friendliness of the staff). Kind regards from me

We were there for dinner yesterday. Unfortunately we didn't like it at all. The rice was unseasoned and totally tasteless. I even think he was almost out of the woods. The meat was slightly oversalted but still edible. The hut was full, the waiters were nice. The wrong drink was delivered... until the problem was resolved, 3 different people came to the table because no one could make a decision. In the end the drink was simply served again even though we had already had it. Unfortunately communication is zero. For us, however, this will be our last visit there.

Very good Greek restaurant. I can recommend it without reservation.

It's worth a visit, just for the food, and I'll definitely do it again.

Always well attended and always delicious. Clear recommendation!!!

Nice atmosphere, friendly and very attentive staff. But most importantly: the food was excellent. There were 14 of us there and everyone was completely at peace. That's rare. Many thanks to the whole team. We'll be back! We were here again at irregular intervals. Nothing has changed! Still great!

Knossos – A piece of Greece on your doorstep! Knossos has been an absolute favorite place for us for years. Whether birthdays, beautiful evenings with family or friends – we have experienced unforgettable moments here. The Greek specialties are always fresh, authentic and incredibly tasty. The service is warm and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere invites you to linger. It's always a pleasure to come here and feel like you're on vacation. Many thanks to the entire team for the great atmosphere and the culinary highlights. Absolutely recommended! P.s.: It's better to leave the car in the parking lot after eating :)

Despite the size of a waiting room, absolutely great atmosphere. The size of the restaurant is very well used. Food great and service very attentive and helpful. We were there as a group and there were no complaints. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back!

Just a perfect Greek restaurant. Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and a nice, pleasant atmosphere. Top recommendation! If you could it would be 20 stars.

Good Greek in Gera! Very enjoyable dishes!! Great luck!!! Generous free ouzo!!!!

Great food, very plentiful. Fast and friendly service, you'll be happy to come back here!

Staff was nice and present. The food tasted good and the portions were sufficient. There is free parking right in front of it.

Very nice welcome. The service is very friendly and quick. The food tastes very tasty!!! The price is perfect!!! Can only be recommended!!!

A culinary passion awaits you in this place. Be sure to try the grilled pepperoni👍 A reservation is an advantage. Enjoy it!

Without words, everything just fits!

You feel comfortable here! The service is excellent, the food is served perfectly and tastes excellent! I can only warmly recommend Restaurant Knossos! We like to come to eat and relax.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, very good food...

Always delicious and great value for money... Friendly and attentive staff

Great food and the boss served a lot of ouzo.

Have been here for a long time. Food was great, selection was very large, main course averaged 18 euros, but previously there were potato slices, now only rice balls. This is a shame given the price increase, as the portions now seem smaller. If you take the rest with you, you have to pay extra for the packaging. A 0.4 l soft drink 4.90 euros What I found unpleasant is the stress factor of the staff. They're just racing, and that's reflected on the guests. This can also be done more relaxed with a normal step.

You can not only eat well there, but also spend the whole evening. Gladly again.

Totally thrilled :D Mega delicious food and great service. I can only recommend it.

I've been eating here almost every month for years and can always recommend it. Service is very courteous and nice. 👍🏼

As always, it was very tasty + the usual great service.

Hello Dimitrie and staff! We have been regular customers for years, big compliments to you for the very good and cozy atmosphere. Food very good, hard-working, friendly staff. Keep it up. Kind regards, Rensky family

The food was quite good, the service was very good. Unfortunately it took a very long time until the food was ready. The ambience is OK. Extremely loud in general.

We were there with 6 people, one child... All of the child's wishes were fulfilled and the food was also very tasty, although the medallions for one meal weren't that great. Otherwise, great service..

I remembered it a little better

I was in Knossos on Thursday with my visit, I can only say a great restaurant, great food and courteous service. Keep it up!!! 👍👍👍

Price-performance unbeatable. The food was fantastic, the service was great, the price was reasonable, the portions were huge... We'll go there again.

My husband and I love Greek cuisine and eat out several times a year (especially on our business trips throughout Germany). After moving to the Gera area, we visited Knossos for the first time this year '24 and were extremely positively surprised. For us, Knossos represents upscale gastronomy. Here the interior, the service, the selection of drinks and food as well as the ambience all work together harmoniously. The service is very attentive without being intrusive, always brings a smile and cannot be surpassed in terms of friendliness. The food is fresh, very high quality, prepared to perfection and has a spiciness that more than delights us. The cozy furnishings, pleasant lighting, subtle music and beautiful accessories invite you to linger. Since then we have been visiting more often and have already found a favorite place. It's better to make a reservation in the evening or weekend, otherwise you could be disappointed!! Long story short: for us the best Greek restaurant we have ever visited! Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back. And yes, the restaurant is well attended…. …. it's a little louder - over 100 people are talking!!! ... you sometimes wait a little longer for the food - after all, it's not a canteen with ready-made food!! ... the service can sometimes forget something - let him raise the first stone, for example, he always goes shopping without a shopping list and NEVER forgets anything!!! For all those who rate rudely: maybe take a closer look at how everyone is struggling and notice that you are not alone on a pink cloud in the restaurant!! “There are days when you think that finding unicorns is easier than common sense.”

Absolutely friendly staff with great service and delicious food anyway!!!

Good restaurant, delicious food

Cozy atmosphere. Very well maintained and the staff are very friendly. Food is very good and the selection of dishes is sufficient. There is an extra menu for children. Uneaten food can be packed up without any problems.

This was our first time at Knossos and I have to say it was very good. The food was great and the waiters were very friendly. It took a while for the food to arrive, but it was super crowded on Saturday evening, so you can understand that. The only negative point was our seat. The table was almost in the middle of the hallway and so we didn't have a lamp. It was a bit dark there but otherwise it was nice.

Very tasty food. The prices are okay. Staff very friendly. You sit very nicely. Free parking spaces available.

Always very happy. Very generous portion and tasted very good.

It was very nice there again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and always happy 🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It is only better in Greece in the mountain villages near Yaya.

It was a wonderful evening!!! The staff was super friendly, everything was super neat and clean This was the best Greek food!!!! I can't say anything negative at all Keep it up 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The food tastes delicious, the service is really nice and friendly, and above all very attentive, you can sit outside on the terrace, always worth a visit!

Great restaurant that we visited on the way through. Super attentive service, delicious food. If we are in Gera again, we would love to come back!

Delicious food, huge portions, salad plates for every main course, ouzo until you can't stop eating, nice staff and fast service 👌😋 Thank you for the lovely evenings... and always with pleasure💐👍

Very nice service and delicious 🫠

Great food, friendly service, everything was good. Toilets clean. It's all ok.

Great service and such delicious food! Thank you for your hospitality❤️

I was DM and above is Knossos. It definitely tastes good 😀

Full 5 stars! 😀 Super friendly staff, very good food. Everything was great 👍👍👍 It's a shame that we live so far away and can only make it for 1-2 years.

Very good food. It's just very crowded.

Södra Canal, which has already been visited several times, is always worth seeing how the ships are transported.

Very nice restaurant, we have been regular guests from the start and always feel very comfortable, the staff is super friendly, the food tastes very good

The food is fantastic. The service is very nice and courteous and the price-performance ratio is more than appealing. Always worth a visit. A reservation would be an advantage for larger groups.

The best Greek restaurant in Gera! The employees are always courteous and friendly, it is clean and the food is delicious. We test the competition during the much too long summer break ( :-) ), but we only like it in Knossos!

A large restaurant with a very large outdoor area. It is always necessary to book in advance on the weekend, otherwise you will be unlucky and not get a seat. The service has always been perfect. Ouzo is very willingly given as a gift if you don't say stop at some point 🙈. The food is always very tasty and beautifully presented, but the portions are very large. I often have to have the leftovers packed up because I can't manage it.

Waiters very friendly, much better than before. Food very good.

For me it's the best restaurant in the city - you can see that by the number of visitors every day of the week. We were here 2 weeks ago with a group of foreign business partners and received a warm welcome and ended up coming here 3 evenings in a row because it was simply fantastic. Thanks to the kitchen for the delicious food and many thanks to the service. Also big thanks to the boss or bosses for the reasonable prices. Price-performance is really very good. We'll definitely be back (next time maybe even with a reservation...thanks for always having room for our group).

Delicious inexpensive food Friendly staff.

Everything we ordered was extremely tasty. The staff were also very nice and friendly. The only problem was that the portions were much larger than we thought and we had to eat much more slowly towards the end of the meal 😁 The prices looked a bit high at the beginning, but when you look at how full the plates were, they were pretty normal prices. So, definitely recommended and we will definitely come back soon. 🐟🦐🦑🥂

Really delicious food, lots of guests, the waiters were really busy

Great Greek restaurant with friendly service. The Cretan potatoes are really amazing!!! Highly recommended is the lunch menu, which offers an unusually good price-performance ratio. One of my first addresses when I find myself in Gera!!!

Food is very tasty, value for money is good 👍🏻 We like to come by regularly.

There's nothing to complain about about the food, perfect as always. Service could be a little better, e.g. some free ouzo. But there was also a lot going on when I was there.

Waited almost 2 hours for the food. Price performance wasn't really right.

Very good offer and everything tasty. Best Greek in Gera. Please always reserve in advance.

Best service, feel-good atmosphere, very tasty 👏

Very nice employees Food very tasty and plentiful Keep it up

The most delicious Greek in Gera.

The food tasted very good and was ready quite quickly. The staff is super nice and the location is inconspicuous but very comfortable.

We eat there often. We have also celebrated birthdays there. It's always nice, nice service and delicious food. Definitely worth the money. Always fully justified. Often problematic without a reservation

We had dinner at Knossos on Whit Monday, it was very tasty 😋 and it is by far the best Greek restaurant in Gera. Can just be recommended. 👍👍👍👍

Unfortunately it was closed on Whit Monday. Nobody thought it necessary to leave this as information anywhere.

We came here this evening without a reservation and were still given a very warm welcome. The food was again very good and the service was very friendly... I can always recommend it...

I can only recommend it to everyone. Lunch menu top. Rich offering, friendly service and accommodating.

Very tasty food, friendly staff.

We felt very comfortable and got plenty for our money. Gladly again💯👍

The best Greek restaurant I know!!!
