NOSTOS in Gießen

I was craving Greek food, but I didn't want just ONE specific dish, I wanted a little bit of everything. I found what I was looking for at NOSTOS. All dishes can be ordered in “tapas” form. They also offer a tzatziki without garlic if, like me, you can no longer tolerate garlic very well. The service was very good, very attentive and very quick. I was very satisfied.

The food was very tasty and the price-performance ratio was more than reasonable. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. In winter there is an excellent ambience inside with authentic Greek music. However, the seating outside in summer is not quite as comfortable. Nevertheless, the location outside also has a lot to offer as the location is quite convenient.

First time there and definitely not the last time👍😍🍀

Everything is great. The staff fantastic and the food excellent. It tasted a bit like my hometown. Great team.👍👍👍👍👍

Went to my favorite restaurant again today, just perfect! The tables were beautifully decorated with roses, super romantic. The food was great as always, every dish was a delight. The staff was great, friendly, attentive, but never intrusive. I've been here many times and I like it even better every time. Absolute recommendation!

Great service. Food very good 👍

Great food and very nice staff! Thank you again for the delicious espresso. ☕️

A wonderful restaurant with authentic Mediterranean cuisine! The dishes are fresh, tasty and prepared with a lot of love. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the service is first class. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy good food

Fantastic food and super friendly staff! I'll definitely be back! I feel like I'm in Greece👌

It was my first time eating in the restaurant and I was greeted very nicely by all the staff and invited to sit at the table. I ordered my food, wanted to take a selfie and was asked by the employee if he should do that. I got extra fries from the boss and was very surprised by the food. I've already eaten in Greece and if you want to eat like that, just come here👌👌👌. Everything the best of the best. Kind regards a Saki, thank you all. If I could, I would give 7 stars.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

Four years ago I was at Nostos in Gießen with friends and was a bit disappointed at the time. But on my last visit I was pleasantly surprised: the food was delicious, the service was excellent and everything was organized impeccably. A wonderful place that feels like a little vacation!

Very centrally located Greek restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and very courteous staff. The food was excellent and the price-performance ratio was also good. At prime time you may have to wait to get a table.

I'm really excited about the NOSTOS. The Greek specialties are so lovingly prepared and taste fantastic. The service is courteous and extremely helpful.

A good restaurant. The small sharing portions are particularly excellent. Also nice to sit outside in summer. Unfortunately you cannot reserve. That's a minus point.

Top quality. Fresh and hot. Something very special! Keep it up

By mistake we got our food later, which wasn't bad at all, but as a thank you our 4 drinks were on the house! Really great! Food was great!

Everything was fine, the food was very tasty and easy to digest.

Delicious food, good service and reasonable prices. We'd love to come back!

Top food at low prices. I'm thrilled.

Dear! Great service, nice cozy atmosphere and delicious food plus good wine. Always a good choice for a nice evening with friends 💕

Great atmosphere, always warm and top service, the food is simply great and the staff are always friendly and very accommodating. We'll definitely be back 💯😍🍷

It's that time again. If you are in Giessen, you should definitely stop by Nostos. As a restaurateur, all I can say is 👏👏👏. The food is excellent and first class presented. The price-performance ratio is also good. For this you get 6 stars. The ambience with clear lines and warm wood notes invites you to linger. I give it 5 stars here. Service: what can I say. You won't find any waiters here. Here you meet family. Here you will be integrated into the Nostos family as a guest. That completes the experience. For this, and yes I have never given this, 7 out of 10 stars. 👏👏👏👏 Please keep it up. I will definitely come back. A very big thank you to the entire team.

Great service and super fine food

I recently visited the restaurant with our regulars and we were particularly impressed by the friendly and attentive staff. The service was not only professional and a well-rehearsed team, but also very warm, which made the entire evening a special experience. You can tell that the emphasis here is on good service, which made the meal even more enjoyable. It's rare that service has such a positive impact on the overall experience. Absolutely recommended.

The ambience of the restaurant is significantly enriched by the attentive and competent staff. The waiters are not only friendly, but also well-informed about the menu and wine recommendations, creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Their professional demeanor ensures that guests feel completely looked after without seeming intrusive. This positive interaction contributes to a high level of well-being and reinforces the overall feeling of hospitality that the restaurant conveys. The staff seems well-coordinated, which contributes to a harmonious and stress-free experience - a clear advantage for the ambience.

Very nice atmosphere, cozy charm. Very nice, attentive, quick staff. I had a gyro plate, very tasty. Coleslaw was particularly delicious. Gladly again.

Delicious food and very friendly staff

Always tasty, always fresh and fair prices

Really friendly service and nice employees. However, it gets very crowded in the evening, so we recommend making a reservation or being a little patient on site. The food was amazing!!! For vegetarians, we recommend ordering several starters instead of a main course.

Best service. Courteous, friendly and competent when it comes to helping you choose your meal. Thanks Saki

In the pedestrian zone, modern ambience (without cute columns, Poseidons,...). BUT: It proves itself once again - what matters is the quality of the food and the warmth and friendliness of those who work in a house. The small mezes, which are almost exclusively available here, invite you to have fun trying them out and are exceptionally good. Even the nut cake (Greek desserts are often calorie monsters) is so delicious, we ate one every time. Drinks fairly priced. We have been here several times - if we visit the family again at Christmas, we will come back. TIP: It says online that it's open until 9:30 p.m. That may put some people off. But that only means the kitchen, you can eat the table empty in peace and quiet for an hour longer.

A very pleasant atmosphere with very good Greek cuisine and top service! We would love to come back on our next business trip to the city!

Can only say positive things! Very nice staff, super delicious food and a beautiful environment. I would go there again at any time!

Super nice service, very tasty food. We are super satisfied!

Good recommendation Delicious food...

All employees, including the boss, enjoy what they do. It comes across really well. The food came quickly, was plenty, and tasted very good. Were here for the first time. The next visit will be in peace and quiet, not followed by a visit to the cinema. We'd love to come back.

Cozy, pleasant atmosphere and good food. We particularly enjoyed the appetizers.

Small Greek restaurant in the city center. We ordered the octopus salad and some pita bread and zaziki on the side. We did like the salad but the bread and zaziki definitely stole the show. They were delicious. Next time we’ll definitely try the more traditional Greek dishes!

Very nice restaurant! A great atmosphere, the staff is very nice and relaxed and everything is modernly furnished. We were there when there were relatively few guests, so that may have played a role. But from the impression I can imagine it being just as pleasant in everything, even with a fuller house. The portions are more than OK and you'll feel full. I'd love to come back.

They recommended it to us and we said we should visit it... congratulations I highly recommend it especially to all Greeks who visit the area!! Congratulations to the management and staff for the great love they showed us. Everyone is smiling!

Unfortunately I'm disappointed overall. The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food is tasty, but nothing exceptional. What was really disappointing was the service: At first no one came to serve us for a long time. When it came to questions about drinks, the waitress was already overwhelmed. When the order came, one dish was missing. When asked, this was provided quickly, but unfortunately I was later charged twice for it, which unfortunately I only discovered when I got home. During the course of the evening we were not asked a second time if we would like something more to drink. Our empty glasses sat around for 20 minutes. Nice store but service is not good. Unfortunately, the ouzo on the house doesn't do anything.

Very tasty food and friendly staff. Top!

I had a pita with gyros. The gyros were excellent, you could see straight away that they were grilled and sliced ​​on a skewer. I have never eaten such delicious gyros!

It was very cozy, the staff was very nice and the food was delicious. Gladly again

The perfect place to grab a bite to eat. You can also put together different small dishes as a group so that everyone can access them. The portions are plentiful and the prices are within budget range.

Great Greek restaurant, nice atmosphere and everyone really enjoyed the food. The dessert variation was great! Original Gyros Pita like in Ellada 😋

Delicious flavors in a beautiful setting in the heart of Gießen!

Everything meets expectations. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the ambience is pleasant.

We haven't seen such motivated, attentive and friendly employees for a long time. You could ignore the long waiting time. Despite the full house, we kept asking whether everything was okay and whether we had any further wishes. The food was also excellent. Absolutely recommended! We'll be back

I recently visited the street food bar Nostos and overall I was very satisfied. The concept of offering Greek delicacies in tapas form is really great and ensures that you can try your way through a variety of dishes. The selection of food is impressive and the quality is excellent - this is definitely value for money. The service was friendly, even if we initially had to wait a little longer for our order to be taken. The food was served very quickly after ordering, which pleasantly surprised us. We only had to be patient again when paying. We also liked the ambience. Inside, the bar has a very modern design, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. It's okay on the outside - the chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but the overall design is nice and invites you to linger. Overall, a great experience that I would happily recommend!

Eat deliciously. Great service and friendly staff.

Ambience is quite nice. The starters were quite tasty. But the main courses were catastrophic! The meat was still half raw and the fries were unsalted and not cooked through. Service staff informed us but gave no reaction.

All good, just a little too loud.

All good, just a little too loud.

Great food and super friendly service

Very tasty food, the service was nice, the food arrived quickly and all at a great price

Always happy. Great service, attentive and very accommodating. As a guest I felt welcome and the food was delicious.

Very tasty Greek in the city center. Very high quality food

I was with two girls, we came from Frankfurt am Main and Hungen and just went on a day trip to Giessen. At some point we got hungry and were curious and looked at NOSTOS and were thrilled. Nice service, super tasty food, prices totally okay. It was well attended by young and old. Everything is clean and tidy, very well maintained, so the ambience is great. We also asked every now and then if everything was OK. I have to say, I felt like I was on vacation in Greece for a while. All I can say is, go and see for yourself. NOSTOS keeps it up. 👍👍👍👍👍 Great team, great food👌👌👌👌😃 Greetings Tina Rosen

Increasing dishes from €4.80 to €6.50 is quite cheeky! 0.2 liters of wine used to cost €7 and that was a rip off! Now 0.2 l costs €7.50. Last time the food was also bad and the tzatziki that we didn't order (we just wanted a small blob on the plate instead of the previous tartar sauce, which is apparently now being saved) was cheekily charged twice. Never again! Only for walk-in customers who like to be ripped off!

Very good and tasty (German)-Greek food. Classic, but at the same time alternative and modern with a tapas concept. Prompt and nice service. Very nice, tasteful Mediterranean-style interior. A pearl of Giessen city center!

It was our first time eating here and we were very impressed. So tasty and nice service. TOP

Very tasty food and friendly service. We eat here regularly. The prices have now been increased, but that is justified.

A Pita Gyros to take away for €9.50 An absolute disgrace. For such a small portion.

The food was terribly bad n of a low quality . I ordered "Grilled Octopus"", what I received was a supermarket packet preserved Octopus that was simply fried. I ordered "Halvas" desert n I received again another ready made supermarket product that was sliced , which had nothing to do with Halvas n even did not have the ingredients that in the menu was written ( ex pistachio).

Very tasty food, at fair prices, in a nice atmosphere with good service.

Poli orea fagito exipretisi grigori orea

Unfortunately I didn't eat but just enjoyed a coffee. Nevertheless: a very attentive team. This is how I imagine service. Definitely have souflaki on your next visit.

Overall a very good restaurant. The service is very attentive and you are served very quickly and friendly. The menu offers a great and clear (not too large) selection of different dishes. Both the taste and the price-performance ratio are very good. The cozy and modern ambience also invites you to linger. Definitely worth a visit.

We have been to this cafe several times already and will definitely go again. Nice atmosphere, delicious food

We spontaneously arrived at the restaurant. A friendly staff served us. No unnecessary waiting time. Very tasty dishes. Price performance great. We would be happy to come back

Our new favorite place in downtown Giessen. Moderately priced, nice and quick service and very, very tasty. Lots of seating outside and inside very stylish and chic.

Good range of food and drinks. Was delicious.

The food tastes great and I can absolutely recommend it. One star is deducted for not being able to make a reservation and sometimes having to wait a long time.

One of my absolute favorites when it comes to Greek cuisine. Modern atmosphere, incredibly tasty and at really good prices. Always friendly and quick service. It doesn't get any better

The mixed seafood dish was not that fresh. Otherwise everything tasted great. The service is also top notch. We would be happy to come back for bifteki and pita gyros

Delicious food with good value for money in a great atmosphere. The service is also great!

Absolutely delicious and inexpensive food, very friendly staff and a very nice location... I can only recommend...

Very good place. Maybe go easy on the pitas (shop bought) and fewer overly sweet desserts. Otherwise, excellent food and atmosphere.

Very nicely located restaurant with delicious Greek snacks. Very nice waitresses.

My husband was just there (4:15 p.m.) and wanted to have a drink outside in the sun while waiting for me (shopping). He was sent off with the statement: you can only sit here if you “eat” something!! Went here to eat in the winter and were thrilled by the food, the ambience and also the staff. Maybe in an hour we would have eaten something today!!!!! But with such treatment because you “just” want something to drink, unfortunately that was the last time we were there! What a shame! Margaret

It was a wonderful evening at Nostos. We ate very tasty and received excellent service. Especially from the nice waitress with the great curls! We'd love to come back :)

An absolute highlight! The team in the restaurant was not only extremely friendly, but also extremely reliable. The food was delicious, I was particularly impressed by the tender meat. All in all, a great experience that I would happily repeat!

We ate here for the first time today. Good selection of food and drinks. You can prepare your menu “tapa-style”. Simply very good at absolutely fair prices. Service was also very nice. We will be back

Simply great. The prices are mega and the portions are huge. I love eating there. The food tastes so divine and for €8.50 you get a fat gyro plate with Peterbread and fries. Five stars for me because it's really worth checking out. But it's not just the food that's good. You immediately feel at home in this great atmosphere. You walk in and it just smells good, like Greek food. The service is really good too, so check it out. My recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommended, very tasty and very friendly service.

Tried something new and didn't regret it. The food was very good and the portion was also large. You have been absolutely saturated. Nostos the name says it all, we will definitely be returning/homecoming.

Very good restaurant! Food and service top class.

Wonderful Greek restaurant in downtown Giessen. New, clean and modern. The staff was very quick and cheerful. The food came to the table after a record 10 minutes. A little more expensive, but definitely worth it. We'd love to come back!

super tasty and particularly nice staff lovely again

Very very tasty! Definitely recommendable!

Everything was delicious, the waitresses were great and attentive. There is a star deduction for the small amount of bread that comes with the pastes, we had already ordered extra and it wasn't really enough.

Great service, good food, nice staff.

Very nice service and authentic, delicious Greek cuisine

Delicious lunch. Most of the time quite quickly. Pita with gyros relatively cheap and sufficient. Drinks but really small (only 0.2l bottles).

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, the atmosphere of the place is very pleasant.

Excellent 👍 Top food and service! Very friendly boss! 👍

Perfect for a delicious Mediterranean lunch!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Essen war gut der Service auch SEHR nett 👍 Empfehlenswert.

Leckere griechische Speißen. Günstige Preise, große Portionen. Ouzo aufs Haus.
