Mandolina in Hamburg

New, 20.22.25: We've now been there a second time. It was very good. We had lamb fillet and a mixed platter, and the service was very friendly and attentive. Old: Really good food in a typical German-Greek atmosphere, but unfortunately, the service took some getting used to. Our departure was marred by the fact that, after the three of us had spent €120, we weren't allowed to take a bottle of water, which was still three-quarters full and had cost €7.50, because the server was only interested in the €0.15 deposit…

As always, wonderfully delicious!

It was delicious 😋 The staff was great

Great food, great service. That's what hospitality should be! Simply perfect!

Very good food, you can feel that it is prepared with love 🥰 great atmosphere 😁

The decor is typical of a Hamburg Greek restaurant, though it could be nicer. You can still feel the charm of a former pub/restaurant from the 80s or 90s. The food is excellent, and the service and staff (all family) are wonderful! They serve the classic ouzo right to your door without you even having to ask! Highly recommended!

Hello, I ate there with my family. The service was poor; they didn't ask if everything was okay or if we needed anything. The meat was too tough and unsalted. The meat, fries, and coffee were all served cold. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it.

The staff was very courteous and attentive, and the food we ordered was quite tasty and not too dry. You can spend a few hours here in comfort. We'd be happy to come back.

We were thrilled with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. It couldn't have been better. We spontaneously went there for dinner yesterday with a large group and were completely satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful evening! 🌟

A spontaneous Greek stop. Conclusion: Great service, incredibly delicious food. Dessert was the absolute highlight. A top-notch chocolate cake. 💯 Would gladly go again

Nice little Greek restaurant with first-class food and very friendly staff. The portions are large and the prices are absolutely reasonable. I can only recommend it!

Our regular Greek restaurant😋 Delicious and everyone is friendly😊 Inside and outside✌👍😊

I received a warm welcome and very courteous service. The food arrived quickly, was hot, and delicious. The trip was worth it.

A truly fantastic restaurant. I've rarely experienced such good service and outstanding food. A full 5 stars.

Rustic and classic Greek restaurant – great value for money and juicy meat. The bifteki with the potato slices is especially recommended. The service is always super attentive.

We really enjoy being here. The service is always excellent, right at the table. The food was very good. The waiters always ask if everything is okay.

This Greek friend from Hamburg does his best to make you feel comfortable

Absolutely the best Greek restaurant I've been to in a long time. The gyros are incredibly delicious. The Metaxa sauce is amazing, too. The service is very friendly. Highly recommended.

Best gyro I've ever eaten. Juicy, well-seasoned, and everything else was great.

A real highlight! Restaurant Athen is a family-run business with incredibly delicious food, friendly service, and really good beer – and, of course, an uzo to finish off the meal 😊 I ate there with Irish and American colleagues – everyone was absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere was warm and authentic, the food fresh and flavorful, and the price was very fair. Many thanks to the entire team for this wonderful experience – we'd love to come back!

Friendly service, a family atmosphere, and delicious food—what more could you ask for?! We've been coming here for decades. Now it was time to pay a visit. We got a table spontaneously, and everything was great!

Friendly service and delicious food

Today we tried the restaurant for the first time and were thrilled. By the quantity, the food (something for everyone), and especially the friendliness at the reception. We were all so full that we even had some leftovers because the portions were quite generous. As regulars, we're right up there with the best.

Absolutely lovely people! And the food is simply delicious, and the value for money is also great.

The employees are very friendly and helpful, and the ambiance is nice. The portions could have been bigger but still nice to sit there.

We were absolutely thrilled! One Sunday evening after a long drive, we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat near our hotel. Because of its proximity and the good reviews, Restaurant Athen caught our attention. The service was more than friendly and accommodating – we haven't experienced anything like it in a long time (in a good way), and we felt more than comfortable. Apart from that, the food was simply delicious and served quickly. You could really tell that everything was freshly made. The portions are also generously sized, and you'll definitely be full. The prices are also very fair. Next time we're in Hamburg, we'll definitely be back. 😊

We've been to the Athens restaurant several times and are thrilled with the food and the friendly hospitality. It's the perfect place to unwind. Any intolerances are dealt with in a friendly manner, and a solution is sought. This is exactly how I imagine a visit to a restaurant should be – keep it up – Yamas!

Absolutely outstanding. We went here twice during our vacation. The first time because it was close to the hotel where we were staying. The second time because it was absolutely delicious and we wanted to enjoy it again before returning. In short: wonderful food, excellent service. Highly recommended!

A Greek restaurant like it used to be 30 years ago, in a positive sense. Delicious gyros, superb tzatziki, and wonderful fries. And thanks for the ouzo on the house.

You get full marks from us. It was delicious. 👍 Even extra garlic for my son. Thank you so much.

If you want Greek food in Hamburg, this is the place. Unique atmosphere, neat space, very good service. If you go, don't forget to order a gyros portion, it will be unforgettable.

Family-run Greek restaurant with very tasty dishes, top service and fair prices. The dishes are fresh and very well seasoned. I really enjoy going here.

Stuffed olive oil and grilled salmon were very nice. All portions were quite satisfying. The staff was also very friendly. I hope we come again.

My new tribe Greek. The owners are very, very nice and take very good care of you. The food is very tasty. Extra requests are always taken into account. Only recommended!

Good food good service was a lot of fun

Really great Greek restaurant with a nice atmosphere and really friendly service! I'd love to come back in the future :)

Delicious food here. Extremely friendly service. We had to wait a long time for our main course, but it was made up for on all sides. Highly recommended to eat here! We had souvlaki, gyros and bifteki. Really delicious.

Food is excellent. Especially lamb fillet.

Super nice Greek restaurant, great food, good service and nice staff, gladly again!

What a fantastic place! The atmosphere is simply superb—warm, inviting, and perfect for a great dining experience. The people here are incredibly friendly, making sure you not only enjoy your meal but also feel truly welcomed. Their attention to detail and genuine care make a big difference. The food? Absolutely delightful! Every bite is a treat, and the flavors are spot on. The portions are just right, though knowing exactly how much is enough is an art of its own. 😉 We absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended! 😍

Great food and you feel like family!!!

We went there with friends, very attentive service, delicious food and good prices!

We were there spontaneously yesterday and were simply thrilled. Perfect Greek from the starter to the main course. The staff was just super attentive and friendly. The food itself was very tasty and served promptly. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for this lovely Valentine's evening.

The restaurant is definitely recommended. We recently went there for the first time and were thrilled. It's like coming to friends. Service, food, ambience, simply great. We will always come back.

A Greek like a hug. That's exactly how it has to be: rustic ambience, hearty, hearty food, 2 ouzo (stomach open and close!) and the warmest service in Hamburg. Great recommendation!

A family-run restaurant with very friendly and welcoming service. We feel very comfortable here and enjoy coming here often. The food is fresh and of very good quality, and the portions are perfectly adequate.

Always worth a visit. The food is amazing, the service is fantastic, and you feel right at home.

Very friendly staff, very good food 👍 Dogs are also welcome. We ate there with the family while on vacation.

We went there with the family for Christmas dinner. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent! The Christmas menu had delicious dishes, and everyone was satisfied.

Super friendly service, there were eight of us, the food arrived at the same time, and it tasted great. We'll be back again.

First visit, impressed by the friendliness of the service! Top food!

A bit outdated but the service and food are highly recommended. I don't think I've ever been greeted and served so warmly.

It was another great evening with you. Thank you very much for food and drink. We are already looking forward to the next visit. It's already time for work.

Great restaurant. The food is so delicious and has a very good quality. The value for money is good and the owners are so nice and attentive. We love it and often pick up the food to take home. We also eat there every now and then. The ambience could be nicer/more suitable, but that doesn't matter at all with everything else!!

Delicious homemade food. Very nice staff. The furnishings were a bit old, but that didn't matter to us. Sanitary facilities on the ground floor. We were very satisfied.

Super delicious food & restaurant run by very friendly people.

Large portions, delicious food, friendly fast service

A visit to the Athens Restaurant is always like a short vacation: warm welcome, attentive service and of course delicious food. Nothing more is possible.

This is the most beautiful Greek in the world. Ronaldo is the best

Perfect food, very loving staff, a lot of fun and absolutely worth the money. Tips are very welcome

Delicious food For a decent price 👍

See friendly staff, and very good food and large portions.

We went to the Athens restaurant for the first time today and were very satisfied. The team was really friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty. If we lived in Hamburg, this would be our regular place. Thank you !

Good food, nice service, warm atmosphere.

Everything great! Highly recommended!

We happened to be there during a short vacation in October because it was close to our hotel and loved it so much that we ate there twice in 4 days. Super delicious food and very warm service. We simply felt comfortable and will definitely come back on our next trip to Hamburg. We kept our 'promise' and ate here again the next time we were in Hamburg. And it was just as good as the first time.

Food great Service great You don't need anything more to eat well

In addition to absolute friendliness and such a beautiful ambience, the food is simply top class. Dishes from the daily menu are particularly sensational. It's the best Greek restaurant I know outside of Greece.

Were there for the first time today, definitely not the last time. We were greeted very nicely, we didn't have a reservation, it wasn't a problem. Service very nice and attentive. The food, I had a platter with gyros, minced steak and pork fillet, my wife had lamb chops, it was simply top, meat grilled to perfection and very well seasoned. In any case, you should make a reservation on the weekend. The friendliness of the owners deserves special mention, keep it up. We've been there more often now and it's always of excellent quality

A small restaurant on the main street with lots of Greek food. We were amazed at how family-like it was here. As expected, the food was delicious and if you fancy Greek, you should eat here. Can really recommend.

Friendly staff, we provided a beautifully designed table for my grandma's birthday, the food tasted good, fresh and soft, I can't complain

I would say by far the best Greek in Hamburg. You immediately feel at home, all special requests are fulfilled. It doesn't get any better. The food is of the finest quality.

A nice Greek restaurant. We visited this restaurant for dinner. A very welcome upon our arrival. We ordered Tzatziki. It was served with fresh home-made bread. I ordered a starter: prawns in garlic sauce. Charged 10.90. The prawns were too small and the taste was average. I cannot recommend this starter and from my point of view it is too expensive for what you get. We ordered fresh tuna, served with baked potatoes. Charged 27,90 euro. Tuna was fresh, well prepared and big portion. We ordered ice cream with hot raspberries on top, it was good. The service is friendly. I can recommend this restaurant.

Always enjoy eating there. The owners are ❤like

Very friendly, open staff, food very good and sufficient, had a great evening despite a spontaneous visit

The food was, as always, very tasty. Maybe there could have been 10 more fries :) but it could also have been because I was hungry. Service was great, not annoying but very attentive and very friendly. The ambience is actually very nice and authentic, but you shouldn't look too closely at the beer mats. Despite criticism on the last visit, no change.

We were here for dinner. The quality of the food was excellent. Particularly noteworthy is the great, very, very friendly and attentive service. A real insider tip in Hamburg!!

Great food, nice service at great prices

Thank you Katharina, Nico and nico. Service is 1a and the kitchen is great. It was a pleasure

Friendly, very nice staff. Food was excellent.

We recommend. Food and service are top. The only limitation is the construction site in front of the restaurant, but that's not a permanent situation.

Authentic, friendly and family-run Greek restaurant with very good quality. Highly Recommended. I'll be back.

Home cooking, delicious and in quantity

Great food, great service. Everything is just great and. Always happy and highly recommended

Great food and friendly, you feel like you're at home

A very hospitable restaurant. The dishes are authentic. The menu is supplemented by daily recommendations. Everyone can find something they like here. Due to the family atmosphere, the restaurant now has many regular guests.

Were there for the first time. Very tasty food and very friendly staff. Ouzo before and after. Gladly again.

Really great staff, very attentive and accommodating. I can only recommend.

Very nice. Courteous. Delicious food.

Staff is incredibly friendly, prices are very reasonable, and food is very good. Hard recommend, especially if you live somewhere close! Really great value for Hamburg. They also did a very good job at accommodating my vegetarian friend, even though they don't have any vegetarian dishes on the menu (besides starters). Just ask and they'll be happy to throw something together for you!

I would like to give 10 stars for the service. Load top. Tavern with heart ❤️

Wunderschönen Aufenthalt gehabt 👌

Family business, super nice hosts! The food was carefully prepared and very tasty. It is also worth following the host's recommendations. (outside the map) A feel-good place that you'll be happy to return to.

Yesterday we ate calamari and gyros, everything was very good. Staff was very friendly. Price/performance ratio was also very good 👍

The food was perfect,the atmosphare is nice and warm.The only disappointing issue we had,they asked us to leave the restaurant exactly at 22.00 when they wanted to close it.

Annual mandatory appointment because of a birthday. Otherwise I wouldn't come. The food and menu are mediocre, the service is unpleasantly aggressive (approach from the back with a shoulder slap: Hello, my love). Whoever likes it...

Simply delicious, always happy, can only be recommended, makes all wishes possible, are always friendly and helpful, nothing is missing,

We come from Bavaria and were on vacation in Hamburg. The shed really impressed us. The staff was very nice and the food was excellent. I can't think of any criticisms

The meat was perfectly fried and seasoned. Attentive and super nice service.

Seit mehreren Jahren unser Lieblingsrestaurant! Super freundliches Personal und mega leckeres Essen!!! Auch die Tagesempfehlungen hauen mich jedes Mal um!
