Metaxas Metaxa-Grill Achiliefs in Dortmund

A great atmosphere, the food is delicious, as expected, and the ambiance is appealing. Highly recommended.

It's nice to sit outside. But that's about it. The soft drink is barely carbonated, and there's no discount, even though it was delivered differently than ordered. The bar area looks unkempt. (We only noticed this when paying, as we were seated directly on the terrace.) The baked appetizer was only lukewarm. There's no indication on the menu that card payments aren't accepted. Expensive for a snack bar, but the quality is no better than a poor snack bar. (1 water, 1 Sprite, 1 appetizer, and 1 vegetarian salad €26)

I was surprised. The impression from the street was completely different from the one inside the restaurant. It seems unassuming. But upon entering, a modern yet traditional flair is skillfully combined. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The meat is tender and tasty. The service is very friendly. I can recommend it without hesitation.

The food that was delivered was unfortunately terrible. The gyro (baked) was dry, hard, and even burnt over large areas. It was unfortunately inedible. Only the croquettes were tasty. What a shame.

We sat outside. Given the location, the ambiance was, of course, only average. We didn't go inside. The food was plentiful and good, and the service was excellent.

Absolutely loveless food that is just greasy.

I've been there 100 times, finally took some photos, and now I'm starting with the review. The food is very, very tasty. The service is friendly. The ambiance is very nice and modern, and you can also sit outside. The prices are completely reasonable.

Small but nice restaurant. Super friendly service. The food came to the table reasonably quickly and was very tasty 😋. I'd be happy to go back.

I had the gyro plate and was disappointed. It was poor quality and not well seasoned. The salad was also very tasteless and poorly prepared. The fries were good. All in all, I won't go there again.

Ordered gyros, was told to wait an hour, and delivered two hours later. The gyros were disgusting, full of fat and gristle. Complaints weren't accepted, and there were unfriendly comments. Once, never again.

Ordered food via Lieferando, waited too long, then it was cold and I didn't get what I ordered. Bags were overfilled, I could have taken one more, food spilled out of the packaging, not recommended, so not worth a star

Ordered through Lieferando and waited forever. Something was missing from the order. For the hefty price, we expected more.

Very tasty, I tried several dishes. And the service was amazing, very friendly.

The food tastes great and the service is very friendly!

According to the flyer, a schnitzel with fries costs €8.50 plus €2.50 for a drink, making €11. The total was €14.60. A disgrace. Once and never again.

Food was delivered cold, and the drive sat at my doorstep for 5 minutes. No onions were delivered with it.

Delicious food, fair prices, and very friendly staff. We come here often and always enjoy it.👍🏻😉

Food is average, delivery times long

Great platters for delivery. Delicious and a lot of it. Highly recommended.

We were with you yesterday and would like to express our sincere thanks. What a fantastic evening. Incredibly delicious food, exceptional service, simply perfect. Greetings from AUTO RIES 😉

By far one of the best grilled meats I've ever had. If you like liver, you'll get the best grilled liver here, too. Excellent quality and super tasty. I also had bifteki, and this special request was fulfilled. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Everything was beautifully clean during my visit, simply perfect. 👍🏻 This certainly won't be my last visit.

We were in Dortmund again! Our route led us to the Greek restaurant again. The food was delicious again! We'd love to go back!

It all started with the first call that was made, without thinking anything of it, my wife called at 7 p.m. to ask if there was a possibility of getting another alternative for the meat and the woman on the phone started to ask in a directly insulting tone whether we were serious about the question and how we could ask something like that and not know that pork is always eaten in Greece. So we still don't think anything of it and even apologize for asking something like that because we felt like we had made a racist statement. Almost 1 hour later the delivery person arrives without a greeting or answer, as if they had no human decency or respect. And the real problem is just beginning 😂😂 THEY SEND ME A BLOCK OF CHEESE WITH RAW PORK THAT WASN'T ANYWHERE THROUGH AND WITHOUT ASKING GIVED MY WIFE A MAYO SHOWER OVER THE FRIES WITH THE MOST UNEASY MAYO EVER. 9€ for gyros gratinated with cheese (raw meat with indelible cheese) around 10/11€ for a taxi plate (mayo soup over the fries), limp fries and absolutely inedible currywurst. All in all an incredibly bad experience and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

The food is no longer as good as it used to be, we always like to go there, but now we have been disappointed three times in a row, the food no longer tastes good, gyros were served far too light and far too greasy and the last buffet we ordered was all too dry and the rice and potato gratin was never for 10 people. It's a shame but it was the last time we were there.

Were there today. Had the Olympic plate, the gyros were juicy but not crispy, the cevapcici were a complete disappointment and tasted like they had only been briefly fried on each side but were otherwise raw. Fries and salad were good. It was also disappointing that not even ayvar was served with it. However, the service was top.

Food was delicious and a lot. Service was very friendly. Will come again

Nice service team. Delicious gyros.

Gyros is inedible. Metaxa is just a shadow of its former self.

It's a space halfway between a chip shop and a restaurant. A bit cramped, but the good food and friendly service more than make up for it. A smaller table would have helped. They didn't skimp on the hollandaise sauce...

10€ for something like that. Order smeared and leaked. Some salt is also missing. The store was much better back then. Significantly decreased. Not again.

Not delivered, but cashed in - absolutely dubious! I ordered via Lieferando, but the order simply wasn't delivered. Instead it was canceled but my money was not refunded. The restaurant refuses to issue a refund even though I never received the delivery. Several attempts to contact the restaurant were unsuccessful. Lieferando support couldn't do anything either because the restaurant simply stood in the way. Treating customers like this is absolutely dubious and unacceptable. Anyone who orders here risks losing their money without receiving anything in return. Never again!

Very good gyros with Metaxa sauce. Super friendly service and fair prices. I was even allowed to try the sauce with gyros because I'm otherwise very skeptical about it. Great thank you

I was there today and got a hollandaise schnitzel. Fries and salad weren't included and for 10 euros 90 it was a cheek 👎 it was done for me

I ordered gyros there which had unappetizing defects. I called them and complained and within 10 minutes the new gyro was delivered to me, this time absolutely perfect. I've been eating there for 7 years and have never had any complaints. Now my first and it was handled perfectly. Absolutely great place and super friendly staff. 5/5

We ordered food here. Unfortunately the food and especially the salad was carelessly prepared. The fries were forgotten in my gyro. The gyro was also dry. Too bad about the money.

Highly recommended, good food, friendly and warm staff.

Unfortunately today the gyrus was once again just greasy and not edible. We paid over 80 euros for our order today and waited over 2 hours. Well, since there was a Borussia game today, you can still understand the longer delivery but the quality of the meat was insufficient. After last time when it was so bad, we tried again and won't eat there again.

I had a taxi plate out of the house. Fries hard and dark, not golden yellow. Currywurst fluffy and cold.

Beer wasn't completely full! Waited forever and gyros were cold. Previously a good shop.

I ordered Gyros Metaxa on the phone earlier and was told twice what number it was. Got gyros with hollandaise. It was extremely salty after I tried it. Am very disappointed. I was looking forward to it, but that was the last time. It's a shame that people aren't listening.

The gyros were tasty, fries were good, the tzatziki could have needed a little more flavor but was still quite good. We'll definitely be back.

I wanted to order food here and had a question about meat because I rarely buy meat and don't support factory farming. When I asked, they hung up. When I called again because I wasn't sure whether the connection had been lost or whether this was intentional, I was shouted at and insulted on the phone. This is absolutely impossible behavior. It would be very easy to say that you don't know or don't want to deal with it. This has nothing to do with a stupid question. There are people who are interested in this and only want to order their food from where they know where the meat comes from. This is completely legitimate and as a company you should deal with it differently. There's no need to be rude. I therefore cannot recommend this restaurant. We had already ordered here with friends and it was very tasty, so I would have liked to order it again if it had been compatible with my values. However, after dealing with customers like this, I can't recommend anyone to eat or order here. Anyone who treats people like this who only ask one question... I don't want to support that and I want to warn others about it. Here you will immediately be shouted at!

Today we ordered five dishes via the homepage. Delivery time was 90 minutes. Unfortunately only visible after the payment process. Definitely too long. One dish was missing and was delivered after 25 minutes after a phone call. The food from the first delivery arrived just lukewarm. The transport must have been rough because some things had leaked. The food that was delivered was hot, but tasted like it had been warmed up. Overall, the food was not well seasoned, the gyros were crumbly, gristly and fatty, and the meat (cevapcici, souvlaki, steak) was dry. The gyro seemed like it had been lightly fried in the pan and had not been cut down. Nobody ate it. The coleslaw seems to have come from a package :-) The taste was at best ok, unfortunately not what we are used to and can definitely get better elsewhere. Unfortunately we can no longer recommend it, we are really disappointed. We currently didn't know anything about the change in ownership and now suspect that the quality has decreased as a result. It's extremely strange that someone who has supposedly been a regular customer there for 40 years doesn't notice this. Before Metaxa it was Costa (almost 30 years ago). It's never been as bad as it is now!

Delicious food, friendly service Would love to come back

Unfortunately I can no longer recommend Metaxa, I have been a regular customer for years, the food is still delicious, but customer friendliness and service are really subpar. I have placed an order for delivery 3 times now and each time my order arrived incorrectly. I already warned the woman on the phone that she should be correct this time. She says if anything happens, call and you'll get a credit. Nothing of the same, my third order was wrong, I called and then they said I had ordered it that way. I never say no, I always order the same thing and explicitly mention what I want. Then they said I was lying and that the call was on speaker and several witnesses had heard it. It's an absolute shame to treat customers like that and lie so boldly. The Greeks probably don't know the saying, customer is king. I'll never order here again.

We ordered food over the phone. The person on the phone seems very helpless. The food was delivered just a few minutes over the stated time, so everything was still within limits. But the food was not recommended. The fries were cold, soggy and very floury, of course they were delivered, but other shops can do it too. The gyro was mediocre, sometimes tough and with lumps of fat. The remaining meat also tasted like the day before, just warmed up beforehand. Result, I won't order there again, maybe I'll risk it again when I get there. It's a shame, it had received many good reviews and recommendations

We used to be guests at the Greek chip shop opposite, but we had to switch to Metaxa once... Meeggga is surprisingly very tasty, the appetizer platter is always a must, the ouzo platter is also TOP! You have nothing to complain about! Keep it up, please don't let up like the opposite! Stay the same!!!

Unfortunately it's no longer the same quality as it used to be.

Very tasty food. Good portions and nice service. Olympia plate and onion schnitzel were great.👍

Food is great. I can really recommend it

Today I got more gyros with fries and I wanted mayonnaise but of course again no mayonnaise on the fries. You can almost look for the gyros meat in the bowl. You are all getting greedier and didn't want to give anything for it

Delivery: 3 hours Food: lukewarm at best and wrong dishes delivered. Dishes in the pits are so out of place that you wonder if the driver is taking part in illegal car races and has lost. Recommendation: Don't (again).

Vor weg, bestellt über Lieferando, essen kam 45 Minuten früher wie angegeben was uns aber gefreut hat .Lieferservice war auch nett und das Essen war sehr lecker wie immer aber: ich hatte den Grillteller und da hat ein Cevapcici und das Steak gefehlt,ich war zwar auch so satt aber wenn nicht das ankommt was bestellt wurde was man bezahlt hat kommt sich schon bissl verarscht vor.

Restaurant between Greek and Turkish. In my opinion, the food was overcooked, although the salmon was very good, but the calamari was too fried. The salads are very filling but they are not drained well and they have a lot of water. I will come back and try again.

The best Greek restaurant in Dortmund. Delicious food, good service and most importantly a family business where you immediately feel at home.

I have often ordered there, picked up food or eaten there.

Was a customer for a very long time. Food used to be delicious but not anymore. Then you are threatened by the supplier. When I ordered, I wrote that the bell should only be rung briefly because the children are sleeping and it was more like a SEK ring. I then asked nicely whether the gentleman could read and was then threatened, which was scary in the evenings and as a woman alone at home Called the store, described everything, the gentleman was so nice and said he would clarify it. But for me, clarifying it doesn't mean that I was blocked from the store at Lieferando. Very bold. The lock doesn't bother me at all. I didn't want to order anything anymore anyway, so I can throw my money down the toilet Such behavior is just sad NEVER AGAIN Even one star is too many

Can I give a minus star? Subjective, but that's it for me. I was annoyed by the new owner's policies. Two pasta dishes to take away only, cold, for the fridge at home to warm up the next day. He charges the same price that he would charge in the restaurant with warming, serving, salad and 19% VAT, i.e. with service and salad. Eating out is taxed at 7%. I pointed it out in astonishment, and he became unfriendly, saying that it cost the same, and the food was even more expensive elsewhere. Over thirty euros for a taken away moussaka and pastizio. I can't get over the idea that only someone who doesn't care about taxes anyway can argue like that. The dishes themselves were good, not exceptional. However, the price is excessive in my opinion.

We've been there a few times and were very satisfied, only today we were very disappointed, the salad was great, only the main course that followed had a lot of roasted aromas (burnt) and was dry. You can also work on the presentation of the dishes; the food was simply slapped onto the plate. It's a shame we won't be coming back anytime soon.

Cheap gyros plate that fills you up, nice atmosphere, service could be more attentive

The nice thing about Metaxa is that you can sit inside or outside. All dishes are very good, tasty and above all plentiful. The staff is very nice and friendly and if someone isn't satisfied with the portions.....! I can only recommend it!

Ordered food. Gyro plate. Gyros so salty and inedible. We are very disappointed. It's a shame that something like this is offered to guests. Second dish mediocre and a mini portion, incredible. The employee who delivered was nice and polite. But the food was catastrophic.

Ordered from Metaxa for the first time and unfortunately was disappointed. The portions are very meager and not presented attractively. The salad with chicken costs over €12, which is very steep for so little salad. There was nothing special in terms of taste either. Delivery time was acceptable and the delivery person was friendly. We won't order again.

The food was very good for a chip shop. Service was OK. Let's put it that way. If you like the Greek flair of Kik and co, you'll definitely be thrilled

Last year in November I almost vomited because of the food. There is something in this food that is not right. I would really advise everyone not to eat there and look for another Greek

Well-kept outdoor area with fast service. Food exactly to my taste (dishes 84 and 116). If you need peace and quiet while eating, this is the wrong place in the outdoor area. I liked it because there was a big city atmosphere. It's just a matter of taste. And back to food. Yummy Yummy Yummy.

Hello Metaxa team, first of all I would like to apologize for my mishap (during the car journey) for giving you a 2 star rating. I don't know how this could even happen while scrolling etc. I have been coming to you for 40 years now and will continue to do so. That alone should be meaningful enough. Many greetings Ralf

Both had diarrhea after eating and the gyros were full of pieces of fat. Been there last time

Apparently criticism is not welcome. My review due to the invoice from the delivery service not being received twice was simply deleted. A rogue who thinks evil of it.

It is very large and always very busy, so there is sometimes a high noise level

Well, a chip shop that thinks it's a restaurant. Eating went like this.

Very, very tasty food. Big portions. Very friendly service. We sat in the garden, very nice atmosphere.

Here 1 star is still too much!! Gyrospita inedible, 7 pieces of meat and still completely gristly and fatty! 🤢🤮 However, the prices have been increased. Metaxa used to stand for quality and good portions. I have been happy there for over 30 years, apparently there was a change of ownership...I called immediately and expressed my complaint and explained that they had now lost a long-time customer. The reviews from the other Kungen prove me right! The reaction to this was subpar: I was shouted at angrily and hung up on. You don't want a reaction like that. NEVER AGAIN METAXA ‼️‼️ 😡

Gyros 1/3 meat 2/3 fat never again!

That was the worst gyro we've ever eaten. So really terrible. First waited 2 hours. The meat was so wobbly and black I had to throw the whole meat away. Fries also a complete disaster. I wonder how you can go so wrong with fries. Once and never again. It's a shame I didn't read the reviews beforehand.

The beer garden is a pleasant option for a short break. The food is very tasty and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

Was called a “second class customer” on the phone because I ordered through Lieferando. Then I canceled my order. So it's best never to order here, otherwise you'll get leftovers from other customers.

Very bad food, unfriendly staff never again... not even my dog ​​wanted to eat it

So I'm really disappointed. The fries were rock hard, as if they had been oil and totally dark. The gyro meat was burnt and tasted totally salty. I'm really disappointed and will avoid Metaxa for now. Absolutely no longer recommended.

Although it's obviously just a snack bar, they made an effort in the dining room and made the whole thing quite comfortable. As I said, it's not a restaurant. The staff was very friendly. And I ate the best gyros of my life. I ordered a small portion "It was huge and would even have been enough for my husband. And that's saying something. I hope it's as enjoyable again next time.

We had dinner on Friday. This is by far the best ouzo I've ever drunk. The boss asks the guests and chats with one of them. I like that because you feel really comfortable there. The service staff are also very nice. I'll definitely go there again. Thomas from Lünen

Der Gyros fast roh, dauert lange bis man was zu trinken bekommt und das Glas Bier kaum voll gezapft. Essen nicht richtig heiss, Pommes lau

The food is mediocre. We ordered starters and main courses. The starters were good. Peppers stuffed with sheep's cheese, meat croquettes and fried eggplant. The red wine was ok. Unfortunately, the meat in the main courses wasn't our cup of tea. It was not very seasoned, not tasty and dry. Unfortunately the tzatziki wasn't seasoned well. The fries were good. Unfortunately the rice had no taste. The side salads with cabbage, corn, kidney beans and cream and cucumber salad were ok. The service was good.

They are mentally handicapped to have them ordered and done properly.

I really liked it and everything was ok

Delivery not recommended. Ordered via Lieferando. After 1.5 hours of asking by phone where the order was, I was told that it would be better to order by phone so that I could get the actual delivery time. If I am overwhelmed by the volume, then I have to set priorities and cancel/suspend Lieferando. Also no accommodation or attention to the delays. In the end it was almost 2 hours.

Absolute impudence! Ordered at 7:45 p.m. and the food didn't arrive until 9:45 p.m., is that still possible?! Then unsubscribe from your delivery service if you can't get it baked!

Unique cuisine, I recommend to enjoy a wonderful evening and go immediately

Ordered for delivery, took almost two hours for three dishes, but food arrived warm. Taxi plate was okay, but could be much better. Fries were good, sauces were good, but gyro meat was really poor. Currywurst could have been microwaved. Unfortunately, it was prepared rather carelessly. At €9.50 it's relatively cheap for a taxi plate, but it's not particularly tasty either. It's enough for a feeding kick.

Super tasty and very good price/performance...

Food tastes old!!!! never order there again

Very friendly staff and very good and plentiful food

As always, after returning from abroad, something you missed. Thank you for everything

The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. What more do you want . Oh yes, the pilsner on tap is fresh and cold. I can only recommend .

Best Greek restaurant I know, prices fully justified for food and drinks. Staff very friendly.

Everything is great here. Small drawback.....the clothes smell like food after the visit.....down to the underwear.....

Picked up on site, ambience not maintained, cleanliness is different. Work clothes are guaranteed not to be fresh that day. Fries were dripping in old grease. Not recommended

The food delivered was already cold because it was not stored in warming boxes. The quality is very poor, gyros inedible, meat is like rubber. Not recommendable.

We ordered for the first and last time 🤢 my husband ordered lamb and it was pure fat, gristly and inedible, the rice was cold and tasted like dead feet. I had gyros baked in hollandaise with cheese, which was oversalted and the meat was made of flab and pure fat. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it. We threw everything away.

It's a shame, the portions were good but the gyros were totally over salted, not edible, the lamb cutlets were almost entirely fatty, we were there after a long time... FOR us it was the last time!!! We complained by phone, the prices have increased on the internet but the old prices are still there and the owners have changed...
