Kreuzberger Weltlaterne in Berlin

The owners & staff are very friendly. Food & mezes are as delicious as they can be- same taste and quality we had in Greek taverns in Greece. Very kid friendly. Service is on time even if the place is packed. Would definitely go there again.

Delicious Greek cuisine - super friendly service! The ambience is a bit old, but it was also somehow cozy. Honest cuisine!

A historic old Berlin pub converted into a very nice Greek restaurant with good, always delicious food and friendly waiters/staff. The atmosphere is pleasant, almost familiar. I look forward to my next visit there.

Seit mehr als 30 Jahren immer wieder mein absolutes Lieblingslokal Super freundliches Team alles schmeckt sehr gut Preis-Leistung sehr gut

This is an excellent place, staff and owners are great, and very friendly. Their food is very delicious. Prices are fair. I keep going here with friends from time to time, a very nice place for a union event

Absolutely recommended! The restaurant offers a good selection of fish dishes at really fair prices. The fish was perfectly cooked and delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely be back!

Disappointed with quality of food here. Grocery store bread (not even Greek). Salad lacks olive oil. Chicken tastes previously frozen. Lamb chops were overcooked. Too much coconut oil in rice. Good service.

Greek food. We had a very good dinner. The cheap price

We ate very well, sat comfortably outside and enjoyed a warm evening...

A piece of Greece in the middle of Kreuzberg. Probably the best Greek restaurant in Berlin

If you reserve a table in the shade in summer when it's 32 degrees, you'll be seated inside next to the kitchen entrance. Hot and stuffy. You lose your appetite. When asked, one of the waiters explains that we should have something to drink and that the next available table outside will be for us. The other waiter, in turn, makes it clear that this is an illusion and that we should order the food. When making the reservation, you are not informed that you only get an indoor table. It's a shame, we otherwise enjoyed going to the restaurant.

I have no understanding for the great reviews here. We were here with a large group of 10 people in the evening with a reservation. The service was really nice, but unfortunately didn't make much of an effort to provide us with drinks throughout the evening. The shop is decorated very nicely. Unfortunately you could see directly into the kitchen from our seat. Apparently hygiene isn't taken that seriously here. Dirty towels on the floor and the kitchen really wasn't particularly clean. Unfortunately, that spoiled my appetite. About the food: the gyros was extremely bad. Very dark to almost black and too crispy. No revelation in terms of taste. Souflaki was ok. The oregano potatoes were also a bad joke. Boiled potatoes cut into slices and sprinkled with dried oregano. Did not like it. Stomach problems after eating included. Unfortunately it wasn't a nice experience for you!

A great Greek Restaurant. I advise. It's cheap and everything is so fresh and delicious. They have friendly employees.

Very typical in many ways, as if you were in a tavern in a Greek town. It all fits together! Food, atmosphere, environment... everything is authentic. It's definitely worth going there. Yamas

Most delicious greek food, fresh calamari

It is the best meze raki restaurant in Berlin. You can experience delicious and affordable Mediterranean appetizers accompanied by Yeni Raki, Tekirdağ or Polamari. In this place, run by Kostas' family, everyone is very sweet and friendly. 🙏

We love this place! Very kind and friendly staff, amazing food, warm atmosphere, reasonable prices, good vibes. Totally recommended for group dinners

The food was okay but we had had better gyros. The meatballs are simply great.

Located in a quiet side street, not very touristy. We had a mix of starters, almost like Greek tapas. Highly recommended.

You should have seen it!! Very comfortable, staff great.

Unfortunately I cannot agree with the good comments from other guests. We sat outside on a summer evening. Unfortunately, the service outside was anything but good. Our glasses were empty for a long time and we kept running past the tables without paying any attention to the guests and their wishes. The food was rather mediocre. We ordered a mixed starter platter and bifteki. We agreed on both dishes: nothing special. All the tables and chairs around us were dismantled as soon as they were no longer occupied - even though the inside area was still completely full. Finally, the bill was placed on our table without being asked and without comment - along with 3 glasses of ouzo (the first and last round of the evening). That was the ultimate “bouncer”. No advance warning, no last lap or anything like that. It's a shame, unfortunately not what we expected...

Very popular neighborhood restaurant with delicious modern Greek mezze dishes, delicious for many decades, sometimes a bit too crowded, so that the employees often reach their limits...

Food was good, but not too much above average, especially for Berlin. (Friday evening:) Having to wait half an hour for drinks just isn't possible... the shop was full, the staff certainly tried hard, but then you can't want to use every table if you don't have enough people who can handle it. .. you're not doing yourself any favors. Probably still a great place during the week.

Perfect people from a family. We love you!

We were welcomed even though it was after 10.30pm and we feared the kitchen would be closed. Whoever served us was very friendly, helpful and smiling. The portions are generous but the quality of the food is not high.

A great family business, everyone is very warm and friendly. The food is very tasty.

Wonderful experience, like eating in a family home. Fantastic food, attentive and friendly staff; quiet and comfortable environment, very good value for money. I'm saving it in favorites and I'm going to recommend it, the best Greek I've ever eaten.

The best taverna in town. Friendly people, great food, amazing tzipouro. Einfach top!

A Greek restaurant that we really liked! We tasted some specialties to share as mezze. Everything was tasty and well prepared. We chose 5 small dishes for 2 people but it was too much so we took the rest away. All accompanied by a little chilled rosé wine. The waiter was smiling. A little digestive shot offered at the end of the meal is a nice touch that is a pleasure

Great food, amazing service and during sprimg and summer it is beautiful to sit outside

Great place, lovely people! Our favourite in the area.

Authentic, friendly, delicious... You can't say more. We'd love to come back to get that holiday feeling again. It is not for nothing that it has been a fixture in Kreuzberg for decades. Thank you for the lovely evening

Busy Greek restaurant. Large menu with very good and generous portions of meze, as well as the usual meat classics. Appetizer platter down-to-earth but not exciting. The starter salad was a bit very salty, the meze was very good, the gyros were average, although a fairly large portion. The souvlaki was also deliciously grilled, but very, very close to cooking. Unfortunately, all of the gyro portions at the table (3x) were cold, as were the fries. Overall, good meze, main courses average. Cold gyros difficult. We'll come back again for the meze, let's see if there's a second chance for warm meat if necessary. 3 points for a solid average.

Genuine mousaka served by charming Greek staff.... Efcharisto!

This is an extraordinary corner of Greece in Berlin - a city of contrasts. It was unexpectedly pleasant to visit a place that serves really delicious food, has a pleasant atmosphere, and also plays live music (albeit Italian). We tried small squid, sardines, lamb (total praise), wine and grappa were also very good))) Recommended!

That's one thing with a food recommendation. Not in the World Lantern case. Everything fresh, typical Greek cuisine, just good. The service is attentive, super friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable. The fried octopus with eggplant and salad is very tasty. Thanks to the team for the dining experience. Reuben

We were here on a warm spring evening and everything was just perfect. Sitting outside in the evening sun, friendly staff and delicious food. At the Mezen we were recommended to take 2/person and 2.5/person if you are really hungry and that's exactly how it is. We had 5 pieces for the two of us and were very full. I found it positive that the food wasn't just seasoned with tons of garlic but with a variety of herbs. You can't say that about every Greek restaurant.

Delicious food and friendly service at reasonable prices.

I’m a regular client, always amazing food. Always great service. My favorite restaurant in Berlín. Always good vibes

Very nice traditional and welcoming restaurant. I ate Greek food exactly twice before and was invited by an acquaintance. All good things seem to be attempt number 3. Was really tasty. hats off

The food was great and the staff was really friendly. Thank you, I will come back again and again.

Great place, an institution in Kotti, nice fish and plenty of vegetarian options too

Great atmosphere and the food was really tasty. The fried aubergine where really good and not to greasy

Delicious, delicious and more delicious! best authentic Greek restaurant!

A piece of Greece in the middle of the city! This authentic Greek restaurant delighted me from start to finish. The flavors were simply irresistible and took me straight back to my holidays in Greece. The dishes were fresh, delicious and lovingly prepared. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the service was excellent. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience real Greek cuisine.

I had dinner here with a friend today. The staff is more than friendly and particularly accommodating. We were more than thrilled with the food. An 11 out of 10. Any time again!

It was simply delicious and a great family!

We went here last night. Booked table for six. We arrived with friends a few minutes early and it was all full, but our table was waiting for us! Very good food and I have visited Greece on many holidays visiting more than 20 islands, so I have some experience. According to a former restaurateur friend, fried calamari was very good. You can eat very satisfactorily even if you are a vegetarian. My grilled meat dish was very good and tasty. I would definitely stay here again. Historic Greek restaurant Area. Family run, genuine food. See you soon!!

Very good and friendly restaurants. Our suggestion in Berlin if you like discover new culture cuisine. Mousaka is a must.

Without any ifs and buts the best Greek restaurant in Berlin. Everything perfect! Authentic, good quality, delicious, friendly service, best shop!

We just had appetizers, sardines and salad but everything was fresh and good. The best is the location and the restaurant itself. So oldschool but vibrant and beautiful! We had a great evening. The place was very busy on a Monday evening, so make sure you reserve a table in advance!

Super nice place, always quite full, call some hours before to book a table!

Small restaurant and always busy. But still a nice atmosphere and very nice staff. The food is also very, very tasty, I can only recommend it!

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. Very relaxed atmosphere and nice service. Best rabbit I've ever eaten.

It has a very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I definitely recommend the seafood.

Super nice shop, very good service, delicious food - freshly baked bread in the basket is always a guarantee of good cuisine, including here - and the prices are right too. Highly recommended!

That was the third time we were there. Every time we order something different and so far they have all been just perfect! The most delicious food I ate in Berlin! The staff very friendly and nice! Even though the restaurant was full, they are always smiling and very friendly!

Very good, varied dishes. Friendly, quick service. Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Door and toilet access not barrier-free

Always delicious, service great. Be sure to reserve in advance

It was really very nice. Delicious food. Incredibly nice waiter. Considering he's so young, I'm thrilled that he's not as jaded as some other waiters in Berlin. Cozy and warm. I'll definitely come back. Starter was fried anchovies. So good. Main course leg of lamb. The homemade fries were also very tasty. Everything simple. Thank you

I love this restaurant, the food is fresh and well made, very friendly staff / owners..it has a lovely family like feeling. The small fish and the fried calamari are a must have for sea food lovers who are stuck in a sealess city. The home made potatoes are so good. Would defently recommend.

Really great shop with delicious food and super friendly service. You come in and immediately feel comfortable and cozy, my favorite Greek restaurant from now on.

If you want great Greek food, don't miss Kreuzberger Weltlaterne. Its a family owned and run Business. Amazing to see how much passion they put into it. We go several times a year and love it every time. Food, atmosphere, everything is amazing!

My first meal in Berlin and it was fantastic! The cold appetizer dish was amazing and the chicken was good and well seasoned. The star for us was the service and the friendly staff who were very accommodating especially with a baby.

Sehr authentischer Grieche mit unfassbar leckerem Essen. Ich hatte einen herrlichen Fleischteller und dazu einen Vorspeisen Salat. Dazu griechisches Bier und herzliche Mitarbeiter. Was will man mehr? Auch preislich vollkommen fair. Absolute Empfehlung.

Mein Lieblings Griechische in Berlin. Sehr gute Qualität, nettes und freundliches Personal.

The best Greek restaurant in Berlin ‼️❤️

Sehr freundliches Restaurant und Personal

Bon rapport qualité et quantité prix. Bonne cuisine grecque. Vin très moyen par contre

Wir wurden heute unfreundlich aufgefordert, das Lokal zu verlassen, nachdem wir die Zubereitung des Gyros kritisiert haben. Die anfängliche Freundlichkeit der Wirtin schlug unvermittelt in lautstarke Agression um. Wir sind langjährige und freundliche Gäste. Das Verhalten der Wirtin war unterirdisch und ist nicht nachvollziehbar.

@Uwe Warnke Rezension Mein Partner und ich saßen am Tisch auf der Empore und haben das gestrige Geschehen mitbekommen. Die Kellnerin hatte die Kritik sehr verständnisvoll aufgenommen und den Gästen mehrere Vorschläge geboten um sie zufrieden zustellen. Sie hat versucht ihnen entgegenzukommen was jedoch abgelehnt wurde. Wir waren vom Essen und von der freundlichen Bedienung sehr zufrieden und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Klare Empfehlung von uns !

Best octopus I’ve had in Berlin. However would not recommend the red meat products - dry and flavourless

Πολύ ωραίο μαγαζί με ιδιαίτερο και ξεχωριστό στυλ Νόστιμο φαγητό, φιλικό και γρήγορο Service. Η Χριστίνα ο Κώστας και ο Τίμος με τα παιδιά τους δίνουν τον καλύτερο εαυτό τους εδώ και πολλά χρόνια.

Vermutlich eins der besten griechischen Restaurant nicht nur in Kreuzberg, sondern in Berlin. Überaus freundliches Personal und das Essen ist wirklich empfehlenswert.

Yunan mutfağını sevenler burayı deneyebilir. Lezzetli kızartmaları, taze ürünler kullanılarak yapılan salataları ve çıtır balıkları ile öne çıkan bu yer uygun ouzo fiyatlarıyla size güzel bir akşam geçirtir. Taverna kültürüne uygun müzikleriyle atmosferi yakalayan bu mekanın tek sorunu yoğun kızartma kokusu ve yağdan kayganlaşmış zemin.

Ich mag das sehr gern, Herzlichkeit und feine kleine griechische Speisen. Du bist ganz schnell und wie selbstverständlich Teil der Familie, die die Weltlaterne betreibt.

Juste parfait, agneau à tomber 😍

Alles war einfach wunderbar und hausgemacht...einfach perfekt 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Leider waren unsere Gerichte übersalzen und insgesamt zu fettig. Bestellt lieber weniger und dann eventuell nach, als das es schwer im Magen liegt. İch werde erstmal nicht wieder hingehen!

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant mit besonders familiärer Atmosphäre und super freundlicher Bedienung. Leckeres Essen, auch in kleineren Portionen. Ich habe hier meinen Geburtstag gefeiert und meine Gäste und ich haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Dankeschön.

The staff was super friendly, the toilet was clean. Calamari was delicious, but octopus was so so.

Sehr nettes Personal und das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker! Kommen mit unseren Freunden immer wieder gern vorbei.. können wir nur weiter empfehlen

Sehr gute griechische Küche. Das wissen viele, deshalb sollte man reservieren.

Delicious food, slightly overpriced. We were disturbed with the dog of other guests, with whom the workers were getting along well. They should be more considerate because bulldogs are not friendly and may scare others.

Eins der besten Lokalen seit Langem. Sehr begeistert gewesen.

Really nice people that serve really nice food

Es war sehr voll und wir haben netterweise noch einen Platz bekommen. Es war eigentlich alles reserviert. Das Essen kam leider nur noch gerade so lauwarm an den Tisch, ... ( Gyros + Kartoffeln). Es war wirklich absolut nicht warm. Atmosphäre alt mit Kultur Körper ...

Alles top. Preis Leistung passt hier.

The food was very very good, but the service was extraordinary. I had Gyros with homemade fries and Tzatziki and I will for sure go back from time to time to enjoy it again. Well done.

Eines der besten griechischen Restaurants in der Stadt! Ich kenne es seit über 30 Jahren. Es passt genau dort hin, wo es ist.

Delicious Greek foods with friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I had a very good time there for dinner and the welcoming staff made food even more tasty. Reservations are recommended!

A regular almost, it's always a pleasure to have dinner at the Weltlaterne. My favourite? The zucchini chips.

Diese liebe Familie ist der absolute Hammer, es ist selten geworden das ein Restaurant seinen guten Standard hällt und es wieder und wieder eine Freude ist sich verwöhnen zu lassen, von der Energie von Sohnemann und Muddi, oder halt vom tollen Essen... Probiert euch quer durch die Karte.. lecker schmecker

Cozy restaurant with great service from a very warm family; highly recommend! Favorite was the baked feta.

Super lecker +frisch...Alle sehr nett..Hatten einen schönen Abend

Mit Abstand das beste griechische Restaurant außerhalb Griechenlands. Sehr gute Küche, schöne Location und Familien geführt...Chefin und Chef sind wirklich tolle Menschen.

Delicious food and very pleasant and professional staff

Lovely staff! Everything we ate was delicious.

Finally a place with Greek food that's worth recommending! Really tasty meats, good sized portions that can fit all appetites, and friendly service. Can't ask for more than that! All dishes were delicious, except for the fava, which we left untouched. The waitress noticed it and didn't put it in the final bill. Well done guys, we'll be back shortly!
