Pharos restaurant in Hannover

Good day to all, I'll tell you how I wanted to get into the restaurant, but alas I didn't see any parking, I drove around three times and that was it, very sadly (

An unforgettable experience – Pharos Hannover is in a class of its own! I recently dined at Pharos Hannover and I'm still absolutely thrilled! If you're looking for a place that perfectly combines culinary delights, a stylish ambiance, and first-class service, you shouldn't miss this restaurant. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you'll be warmly welcomed and surprised by the modern, yet cozy interior. The stylish, warm lighting, the tasteful decor, and the elegant, Mediterranean-inspired design create an atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome and comfortable. You notice at first glance: attention to detail is paid here – both in the service and the design. The service was simply impeccable. The staff are not only friendly, but also extremely professional, attentive, and courteous, without being intrusive. There was always someone there if you needed anything, and at the same time, you had enough space to enjoy the food and conversation in peace. It's precisely this balance that makes the stay so pleasant. And now for the most important part: the food. What's served here isn't just good—it's Michelin-star quality. The menu offers a wonderfully balanced selection of Mediterranean-Greek-inspired dishes, both classic and creatively reinterpreted. I felt like each dish was prepared with special care—everything was fresh, aromatic, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. We'll be eating here more often.

The food was once again a smooth 10/10 without exaggerating. The entire team here impresses with their pleasant friendliness. The prices are more than okay and the atmosphere is very nice.

We were there for the lunch buffet. WHERE is there a Greek lunch buffet?? Nowhere! This one was world class...for 14.90 euros!!! a huge bowl of the tastiest gyros we've eaten in a long time (and I've tried countless Greek restaurants in Hanover), which is what I told the nice waitress... steaks, bifteki, rice, casseroles, meatballs, delicious tzatziki, hot sauce, and and and... everything available in huge quantities and as tasty as we haven't eaten in a long time. We'll definitely be back...keep it up.

Absolutely great, tasty lunch buffet, there was something for everyone!!! The salad bar was also delicious and everything was fresh. We'll be back :-)

Very cozy interior, friendly, attentive staff. The lunch buffet was rich and very tasty. Highly recommended. Price/performance unbeatable. Unfortunately, parking spaces are rare. You have to search a bit but it's worth a visit.

We had reserved a table for one evening and were looking forward to a nice visit to the restaurant. Unfortunately, we were surprised when we arrived because instead of a regular menu there was only a buffet - we had not been informed about this in advance. The buffet cost 30 euros per person, which we found to be significantly too expensive given the limited selection. Standard side dishes such as normal potatoes, red rice or fries were completely missing, as was a dessert offer - this had to be paid for separately. Unfortunately, the food was no longer really warm, which further spoiled the overall impression. Overall, we were disappointed and would have liked both more transparency in advance and a better price-performance ratio.

I was thrilled with the Pharos restaurant in Hanover! The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. The rack of lamb and the appetizer platter were particularly high points. The ambiance is stylish yet cozy; you immediately feel welcome. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and warm. You can tell the passion that goes into the work here. I'll definitely be back – I highly recommend it to anyone who loves good Greek cuisine!

My husband and I visited here for the first time this afternoon. It was very pleasantly quiet, Greek music and very good food. Greek salad, oven-baked lamb. We'll be back. It's also nice that the opening times are continuous.

A piece of Greece in the middle of the Lister Tower – absolutely recommended! We had a wonderful evening! The food was fresh, super tasty and authentic - especially the gyros and the homemade tzatziki were to die for. The starter platter was also very lovingly prepared and tasted great. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive and warm - you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with beautiful Greek music in the background. Price-performance ratio is absolutely right. We'll definitely be back!

A lovely restaurant with good food in the Lister Turm in Hanover. The gyros and souvlaki were really great, and the tzatziki and chicken breast salad were also very tasty. We'll definitely be back, as we saw they also serve a lunch buffet. 😉

We went to the restaurant for a buffet lunch today. Beautifully decorated, even with fresh flowers on the tables. The service employee was great, very friendly and really quick. Used dishes were immediately cleared away before I considered whether I would use the same plate again. Every buffet dish I tried was delicious and flavorful. The selection of dishes is large, but very meat-heavy. Perhaps a fish or another purely vegetable dish would complement the offering well. I would also like the dishes to be labeled (perhaps with a small board), because not every guest eats every type of meat. Overall, a positive visit that we would be happy to repeat, especially if you can sit outside in summer.

Update: my suggestion to offer gyros on the buffet has now been implemented. Many thanks to the Pharos team 👍🏻 Cozy restaurant with a very good price-performance ratio. The lunch buffet is rich and is regularly replenished. When we were there, lamb, poultry and pork were offered in various variations. There was also a good selection of salads and a broccoli soup as a starter. The tzatziki is highly recommended. Unfortunately, classic gyros were not included in the buffet, but souflaki and Suzuki were available, so there were also classic grilled specialties without sauces. The service and cleanliness are top notch, plates are cleared regularly and the waiter and chef are super friendly and know their stuff. We'd love to come back.

Better Greek!! Eating...a palate orgasm!! Gyros pan very tasty!! Highly recommended !!! Thanks !!

Delicious. The two of us ate across the menu as a test meal for a birthday. It was really tasty 😋. We'll be back.

Absolutely recommended.. Food very tasty and at fair prices.. Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy..!!

We were here for lunch today. The food was really tasty. The meat was extremely tender. The selection was plentiful. Dessert, such as fruit or ice cream, would be a suggestion if we haven't overlooked it. All in all, simply delicious. Today, February 14th, we were here again for lunch. The food and service, just like the first time, were simply great and delicious. I can only recommend it.

It was the first time there, what can I say...the first restaurant where I had nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect. Great buffet at the low price of €14.90. And there is a disabled toilet with an emergency call bell, which is the first time I've seen that. Class!!!! We'll definitely be back. ❤️

We celebrated our wedding there in August 2024. Super nice and friendly, delicious food and the large table was nicely decorated. All our guests were thrilled! The rating is in my old name.

The food is fresh, tasty and perfectly prepared. The attentive service and the stylish ambience round off the experience. A clear recommendation for lovers of Mediterranean delights!

We went for the lunch buffet on Fridays for only €14.90. And it was definitely worth it. There was tzatziki, Alvar, potato-carrot-bean pot, chicken steaks in mushroom cream sauce, Kirithaki beef pot, lamb ragout, potato slices, bread, broccoli cream soup, something like Königsberger meatballs, chicken drumsticks, tomato rice, gyros, souvlaki, suzuki and a salad buffet as usual with the Greek (unfortunately no seasoning in the coleslaw and no onions). I actually left very satisfied. I would have liked something sweet, but I can recommend the buffet.

Sympathetic and friendly service, fresh, varied salad bar and delicious food in generous portions. We were definitely not here for the last time

Went there for the first time with 3 people this Saturday! The service was very friendly and accommodating right from the start! The food was great! I was full so I had my dish packed! So it was really sufficient in contrast to other restaurants! The Cretan potatoes were super delicious 😋 🤤 Tip more than deserved! We would love to come back to you!

We had a buffet lunch with 8 people on a Friday. Everyone was thrilled. The selection of main courses is very large and extremely tasty. I remember 5 different meat dishes and once salmon. First of all, a delicious soup and a salad. At the end there was even an Uozo from the house. You can't get more than that for 15 euros per person. We'll be back.

Really great. Really🫶we would love to come back

Food was great, rooms were very nice The service was courteous Always happy.

Good food and very friendly service Highly recommended.

Too busy and hectic. Too many people in a small room. Portions on the small side and the salad bar only a few things to choose from.

Nice ambience, good food, nice service! Gladly again :)

Extremely delicious. Super nice service. Always my pleasure. ❤️

We were at Pharos for the first time today on Christmas Day. The ambience was very nice, the service was very attentive. The food was super tasty 😋. A successful evening from start to finish. Thank you very much

A wonderful restaurant, everything is perfect!

Nice restaurant, food was very tasty. Service good. Small deduction: No white bread on the table as is usual with the Greeks, no ouzo (but I can live with that). We will definitely go there again.

Good Greek! Normal prices and nice service! There's even an ouzo on the house. A real recommendation!

We went there for dinner yesterday and it was just great! high quality dishes and great service. We'd love to come back!

Good food had salad and lamb shops cooked to perfection nice people

Went there today for the lunch buffet Food very tasty, good selection Pure gyros would have been good. But just a matter of taste. I would have liked to have made coleslaw myself, but hardly any restaurants do that these days. Service very nice and attentive I'm already looking forward to the next time

I was there at the lunch buffet and the food was delicious and there was a good selection Service was super nice And I wrote to them beforehand and they did it, thanks again for that 🥳 Of course I'll be back Can only recommend it Greetings from Michel

Very good price performance. Buffet very good selection. Can only be recommended.

Really 10 out of 10. It was by far one of the best Greek restaurants we have been to. Service very friendly and also very attentive. The food was very tasty and there was a lot of it. The price was also great. Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy it as much because my wife wasn't feeling well, but we said when we're in Hanover again we'll definitely go there again. A very big compliment to the restaurant 👍👍👍

We felt at home here. Totally recommended. We have taken this restaurant to our hearts.

We were very happy with the food and the service. I can only recommend it. We went on a short trip to Hanover and were lucky enough to get a place here. They were friendly and accommodated my child's special request. No extra charge was required for this. Overall a very nice evening. I would eat there again.

Very tasty and fresh dishes! Both fish and meat dishes 👍👍👍Service very friendly and attentive - including ouzo on the house! The atmosphere including Greek music is very pleasant! Clear recommendation 👍👍👍

Belongs to the beer garden which is good Restaurant adjacent 👎

We recently had a spontaneous meal here and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very cozy, the ambience was warm and inviting. You felt completely comfortable because the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Our wishes were always met with a smile. The food was excellent. Good portions, fresh ingredients, optimally prepared and wonderfully seasoned. The grilled meat in particular was very tender and juicy. If you want to enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere, Pharos is the right place for you. Clear recommendation!

Nice place. Cozy seats. Service was quick and friendly. Food delicious. Salad from the buffet - but that can certainly be improved. Portion (grill plate) was good to fill you up but manageable.

Very, very great stay, very nice staff and incredible food

We were lucky enough to be able to stop here on a short trip in Hanover. The food was very tasty, the service was courteous!! A stroke of luck for us since we didn't know our way around!

Very tasty food and attentive, friendly service! Absolutely recommended.

The food was very good, freshly prepared and also good service. Overall, it's a great restaurant and I'll definitely come back

I was here for lunch (two people). The service was friendly and the food was OK, but not really good. We had ordered bruschetta as a starter, and although we were specifically asked whether we wanted it first or with the main course (we wanted it first), everything ended up coming together so that the main course got cold while we were having the starter was busy. The tomato mixture from the bruschetta had way too much garlic. I actually like garlic, but this was really too strong and the aftertaste stayed in my mouth for hours. My vegetarian moussaka was mostly lukewarm and cold in places (definitely not fresh from the oven, probably warmed up in the microwave, but not right?) and the fries were very salty. Overall, unfortunately not recommended.

The gyros never tasted floury again, which indicates that it was old meat. In the evening it also became noticeable... very bad The meat wasn't 100% fresh that day. My companion had exactly the same feeling about the gyros as I did. We've eaten at Greek restaurants very often, so we know each other

Had a delicious meal at the Greek restaurant again today. The service was also great. We will come back.

Pleasant atmosphere, we felt very comfortable from the start. Our food tasted very good and the salad was very fresh. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. We will be back.

Good Greek restaurant in the middle of the Eilenriede at the Lister Tower. A renovation took place around the beginning of 2024 so that the restaurant now looks more modern. We will come back.

We have been to the Lister Turm beer garden several times in the last few months. First the popular sheep's cheese was missing from the menu and now the souvlaki (which was more reminiscent of shish kebab) was so bad that it was the last time I had a meal here. It's a shame that it's so obvious when the kitchen changes.

Modernly furnished restaurant with average cuisine. Portions very small for the high price. Salad bar kept simple. You can eat out here, but you don't necessarily have to.

Update: Today we were guests with a group of 10 people. The service and quality as described without any compromises. But: There was no such thing as the usual “Greek” ouzo drink. It was said succinctly that you could order one and pay. This is for a large group with corresponding sales. I just found that petty. It's not about the Uzo itself, but about the feel-good effect. At the next meeting we might try something different. I give full marks for our visit. The ambience after the renovation is very pleasant and cozy. The service was friendly and accommodating. The menu is not overloaded. In our opinion, the dishes are prepared fresh and tasty. I ordered gyros and fries instead of rice and was actually thrilled. Price-performance ratio is also absolutely okay for the drinks. Full recommendation and we will be back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We liked the food excellently. The service was very friendly, courteous and warm. An ouzo on the house at the end, especially if you're dining in a larger group, would be really nice. Addition: Unfortunately we couldn't reach anyone by phone today (around 7:15 p.m.). We want to order food to pick up. So we ordered online. We didn't get any confirmation. No reaction. Very unfortunate. This can still be improved.

Gyros with flatbread: meat from the warming box. Flatbread falls apart and you are more concerned with getting the food from your hands. Tasteful motorway service station

Thank you very much for the excellent dinner and the very good service. We look forward to seeing you again.

The service was very friendly Food very tasty!!!!! And the atmosphere is very great

Food was very tasty. Service was really nice and pretty. Even Luc had nothing to complain about about the food. That's very worth it. Because he actually always complains. 5 stars + would happily do it again

The food is great and the drink prices are good, why go to the beer garden with the service. Keep it up.

It was my first time eating here with a large group. The service was great, the young lady had everything. The table (27 people) was completely under control and we didn't even have to ask who had ordered which dish. The rooms and seating were attractive. The food was delicious, unfortunately the side dishes were a bit short on the 'Gyros in Metaxa sauce'; unfortunately there were none. The salad bar was very clear, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Regarding a visit from about 2 years ago, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical at the beginning.... But the change to the new operator was definitely worth it!! The guest room has been renovated in an attractive (modern way - with real flowers on the tables!). The service is attentive and very friendly. The food is delicious! The salad from the buffet is simple but fresh and the gyros are crispy but still very juicy. But the Metaxa sauce is made with onions (my absolute favorite sauce!) .... and unfortunately I'm not allowed to eat it 😭 ... it's a real shame! Price-performance ratio definitely fits!👍 I hope you get rid of the stupid scaffolding soon and get more attention.

Simply delicious! Nice service, reasonable prices, super delicious food!! All in all a successful evening lies behind us. We will definitely come back!

Top service good food Class location Very friendly and welcoming Will stop by more often 👌🏽

We've eaten here several times and are always thrilled! The menu is not overloaded, but the dishes are therefore very fresh. The salad buffet is also super tasty. The staff is very nice and attentive. We would like to come again!

The food tasted very good and the service was very warm, friendly and accommodating. Overall a great restaurant with great people! 😇

Super tasty there, I can recommend it 😋

Reservation went smoothly. Selection of food was very good. Staff => friendly and accommodating. Ambiance => stylish. Food => excellent, special requests were taken into account when it comes to intolerances. Price - performance fits. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty, friendly and fast service.

The food tastes super delicious. The service is super friendly.

Small menu, but still something for everyone. Everything was fresh and delicious. No deep fryer food!! 👍 The salad buffet was clear. A delicious garlic sauce and 7 varieties to choose from. Gyros is from the rotisserie 👍 Souflaki was well fried. There was a chocolate mousse that had small chocolate pieces and a sponge cake base. Not too sweet and tasty. The service was nice and attentive. Special requests are no problem. Toilet was clean Conclusion: Gladly again 👍

Top service Delicious food The gyro was crispy and juicy 👍 Great airy caviar cream Salad buffet Price/performance is really good Conclusion: We would like to come back

The food was delicious, the service was great, the espresso was very good - what more could you want after a long walk on a cold day! A recommendation.

Food top Service top Ambience top I can only recommend👍👍

Delicious Everyone very friendly

Sehr lecker Das Personal sehr freundlich

Sehr leckeres und hochwertiges Essen. Außerdem kompetentes personal und sehr angenehmes Ambiente.

Waren zu 5 zum essen. Alle Gerichte waren frisch und sehr gut.Zu jeder Hauptspeise gab es einen Salat vom Buffet, zum selber holen. Bedienung war sehr freundlich und schnell. Ich kann das Restaurant nur empfehlen.

Angenehm puristische griechische Gerichte. Es gibt Salat vom Buffet dazu, bei dem die Auswahl zwar gering, die Qualität aber gut ist (prima Krautsalat, gute Oliven). Das Fleisch ist saftig und knusprig und nicht überwürzt. Es gibt dazu eine kleine Portion Reis (genügt völlig) und zum Glück KEINE Pommes, die eh nur fett und sättigend wären. Das finde ich konsequent und gut! Man sitzt nicht zu eng, angenehme Atmosphäre und gute Akustik.

Durch den Tipp einer Freundin bin ich hier eingekehrt, da hier ein Betreiberwechsel stattgefunden hat. Frisch renoviert erstrahlt das Lokal in neuem Glanz und lädt in gemütlicher Atmosphäre zum Verweilen ein. Besonders empfehlenswert ist die Vorspeisenplatte, diese ist praktisch ein Muss. Die Hauptspeisen sind auch köstlich und sogar der Reis ist sehr schmackhaft. Ich möchte eine klare Empfehlung aussprechen und unbedingt darauf hinweisen, dass es sich um einen neuen Betreiber handelt, also unbedingt unvoreingenommen ausprobieren.

Erstmalig dort und zufrieden gewesen. Lecker Bifteki und gekühlte Getränke genossen. Freundlicher Service.

Super schönes kleines Restaurant mit total aufmerksamem Personal! Gab sogar noch ein kleines Dessert des Hauses zum Abschluss! Super nett hier und werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen

Sehr schönes Restaurant Mit super essen 🥘

Sympathisches Service Team Und vor allem leckeres Essen Weiter so! 🥣👍

Super freundliches Personal und leckeres Essen!

Einfach nur begeistert von den netten Mitarbeiter die tolle Atmosphäre sowie auch die ausgezeichnete Küche !! Alles hat super geschmeckt.. Preis Leistung top .. nicht das letze mal da gewesen!

Essen, sehr schmackhaft. Service, professionell. Leckere Getränke. Rundum schöner Abend.

Freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, Essen sehr schmackhaft. Preis-Leistung top! Schöne Terrasse mit sehr bequemen Stühlen.

Sehr lecker gegessen und die Bedienung äußerst freundlich 🙃 Komme wieder!!!! Sehr schöner Abend!!!

Et fantastisk sted at spise, maden var super god og tjeneren var venlig og meget opmærksom på sine gæster. Kommer snart igen 🤩

Τέλεια εξυπηρέτηση πολύ ωραίος διαμορφομενος χώρος και τέλειο φαγητό ειδικά το μοσχαρίσιο φιλέτο ήτανε τελεια ψημένο και πολύ μαλακό συνίσταται ανεπιφύλακτα!

Rigtig god mad og en venlig betjening…

Nettes Ambiente. Motiviertes Personal. Sehr sauber.Giros und Zuvlaki waren echt lecker,Pommes hätten noch ein wenig gekonnt.Der Martini mit Eis und Limone , das Glas kam wohl aber warm aus dem Spüler, nicht so toll . Dennoch gern wieder, das hat Potential!

Alles nach Geschmack - gerne wieder - wird weiter empfohlen 👌

Ganz klare Empfehlung! Mit viel Herzblut und Sinn für mediterrane Gastfreundschaft schaffen Jannis und seine Jungs ein echtes und inzwischen seltenes gastronomischen Erlebnis. Das Essen ist frisch und von der Qualität herausragend. Gyros frisch und kross zugleich, Suflaki endlich mal saftig und aromatisch. Der Traum auf der Vorspeisenkarte- der Auberginensalat. Unfassbar, was hier aus der Küche kommt!!! Auch mit Pizza braucht man sich hier vor keinem Italiener der Stadt zu verstecken. Favorit hier ganz klar: Pizza Viletta und Burrata & Porcini. Vielen Dank dafür! Aber auch die Weinkarte lässt keine Wünsche offen. Chef Jannis merkt man das Faible für gute Weine deutlich an und es macht viel Spaß, sich mit ihm über Deutsche, Italienische und auch Griechische Weingüter und Weine auszutauschen. Wir kommen IMMER gerne hier her - Urlaubsfeeling garantiert!

Ich war gestern mit ein paar ehemaligen Kollegen im Pharos. Selten so ein leckeres Giros gegessen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
