Poseidon in Darmstadt

Overpriced platter for 2 ordered without gyros but 4 lamb chops more for that I'm happy to pay extra but not 16 euros very outrageous 1 main course with salt no salad given with the note that larger salads were made for the platter for 2

Busy place, therefore noisy, food good and service friendly. Portions not overly large😉

The food tastes good and is also quite inexpensive. However, there is still room for improvement when it comes to portion size. Service is good, but ouzo is apparently only available to regular customers.

There was very little food on the plate! Price-performance ratio too expensive!

Very very tasty, especially lamb chops.

Very good food and good service. Everything is great for delicious food...

The facility is a bit old, very good service and good food. Gladly again.

This Greek restaurant has a lovely, elegant decor and an inviting atmosphere. The waiters were friendly and welcoming, making our experience enjoyable. Even though it was a busy dinner service, we managed to find a table without a reservation. The food tasted great, with authentic flavors and nice presentation. It did take a little longer than expected to get the check at the end, but overall it was a pleasant dining experience

I'm delighted with this establishment! Very tasty and reasonable prices! Thank you 🙏🏼

Everything was great, food very good taste, plentiful and fresh.

Very friendly and courteous staff. Delicious food. Nice ambience. Happy to come there. Highly recommended.

I was a bit shocked when I ordered a rump steak and then such thin meat came... I've been here a lot and the portions were always good. Unfortunately it has slowed down a lot.

I'm always amazed by the delicious Greek food

Everything perfect. We go at least once a month and on special occasions. The food is very good and abundant, but the best thing is the friendly treatment of the staff, they are very approachable and attentive. Tido is delicious. We recommend the Gyros Special and the calamari :-)

Very nice service and delicious food! We felt very comfortable, thank you!

A very nice restaurant... the service, the staff were absolutely friendly and helpful... the food was simply great... tasted very good... highly recommended... gladly again... see you next time... .

Good food, atmosphere is less good. No salad served with the main course. And overall a little expensive for what you get.

I got to know Poseidon through the gourmet block, very nice service and great food - we'll definitely be back!

From the reservation to the food, everything was excellent, we can only recommend it.

Portions were a bit too small for the price and it's not appropriate to get upset when paying if everyone pays by card in front of the customer.

Unfortunately, my visit to this establishment was extremely disappointing. The service left a lot to be desired as the waiting times were unbearably long. The staff seemed overwhelmed and not attentive, which significantly spoiled the overall impression. The food itself was of absolutely mediocre quality and was in no way convincing. The dishes were neither tasty nor particularly creatively prepared. However, the situation outside was particularly frightening. There we were observed by rats who were unabashedly hanging around the tables. This was not only extremely unpleasant, but also hygienically questionable. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances and hope that those responsible will take the necessary measures to remedy the above-mentioned grievances.

The Poseidon has been around for ages and over all these years the quality has remained consistently good, which is an achievement in itself. Starters and meat dishes are super tasty, the gyros are flawless, without gristle or fat, as is unfortunately often served elsewhere. The portions look small, but that's deceptive. Not exactly cheap in price, but definitely worth the money. Tip: Be sure to try the Galaktoboureko for dessert!

Cool service, at least in our own perception. Food and drinks came quickly and were ok.

This is a nice restaurant. The food and service was awesome. The prices were very good especially considering proportions and quality. The staff did great with accommodating us only speaking English. Good job!

The two of us had dinner at Poseidon this evening, it was a fantastic evening. By the way, no problem with a wheelchair either. Starter Pikilia, very tasty platter of Corfu, real Greek mocha and dessert Chalwas, where else can you get that. Plus the best, attentive Greek service, and finally an ouzo on the house. There's no better way to enjoy a warm summer evening. Beautiful. Keep it up!

I visited the restaurant once again, expecting good food and professionalism as always. Unfortunately, this time I miscalculated :(. Waiting for the card for over 10 minutes, then again to be able to place an order. Appetizers and drinks were served efficiently. Main course with 3 portions, two people at one time, 3 after 5 minutes... No-Go for me. Of course, we waited for our friend to receive her meal - a cool meal... All guests received Ouzo, we didn't even ask if we wanted... Well, next time I will think about visiting this restaurant again. The food was tasty, the portions were sufficient... but there was a lot missing WOOW, I want to come back here.

Dishes are ok. Portions used to be larger. Service takes a long time to take the order. Very unfortunate. Service and food has deteriorated significantly.

Great ambience, very friendly service, and the food was extremely tasty and plentiful. Absolutely recommended! We'll definitely be back!

The food would be delivered very quickly. But unfortunately the potato thalers were frozen and not fresh and the meat was also very thin. The facility is also a bit old. We had a gourmet block, so it was worth it. But without it it wouldn't be worth the price to me.

We were here with the gourmet block and each had a mixed plate and each had an appetizer. After we had to wait a little long to order, we were convinced by the food. In our opinion, good quality and very tasty. In line with the competition, the price of eating out has also increased here. But that's how it is now. The service was very friendly at all times. We'll be back! Incidentally, we didn't have any negative impressions about the gourmet block, which unfortunately isn't always the case.

The quality of the food is abysmal and it is a shameful mockery of the Greek cuisine. It is probably due to a menu that is too big for them to handle. They would better redesign a smaller menu with an improved quality. Meanwhile, this place is blacklisted.

Very good Greek. The lamb with beans was excellent, the friends had a Poseidon plate, also very good. Parking is a problem though. Still, it was packed. You should definitely reserve in advance. Update 2024, reservation is no longer absolutely necessary. The food continues to be excellent.

Our stay was nice.My cup was a little bit broken.The dishes are very big and tasty!Some of the waiters don't know that much english,but atleast they understand you and try to answer.I would recommend the Special Gyros. To sum up,the restaurant is very nice,the food brilliant!If I have the chance to choose a restaurant it would be this one.

Always tastes delicious and great service

We had a good meal with very friendly service. We felt comfortable outside and will definitely come back

Super unfriendly staff with a "forever" fake smile on their face.

For our large group of almost 30 people (pre-ordered long-term) the food was served as a “combining food”. The meat was served individually on a platter, shortly afterwards tzatziki came upon request, and about 15 minutes later fries and rice were served. The quality was OK but not outstanding and reduced to the minimum of effort without any sauce. The staff was moderately friendly, the apparent boss was rather annoyed. Not even the number of ouzos as “compensation” were served appropriately, just embarrassing. Definitely not a recommendation for your next visit to Darmstadt!!

We were here in a larger group and it was a bit of a disaster: meat, then 30 minutes later fries and rice then 30 minutes later meat again etc. You can't eat like that...

Delicious food, very friendly service

Excellent Greek restaurant. We loved it

Typical Greek restaurant with very friendly staff. The prices are a bit too expensive for the small portions, more like pensioner's plates. The taste was above average, nothing out of the ordinary. Bifteki gave us the Poseidon plate to eat

Delicious food, friendly staff. Pleasant stay on the terrace

I had a very good meal again today. A Greek chicken soup with bread, herbal tea, mixed ice cream and an apple juice spritzer. As always, it was very tasty.

Unbeatable lunch menu. Excellent price-performance ratio. Update 5/31/24 Unfortunately, the prices for drinks were extremely increased (Hefeweizen 5.20 euros) and the portion of gyros from the lunch menu was significantly smaller than on my last visit.

The food looked good at first, but unfortunately the taste was only average and the salad was a joke. Very large inside and has an 80s atmosphere. The cheapest ouzo was really bad. In the end the waiter had to go for a smoke before he could bring the bill... 🙄

The food is delicious, great service too. Very nice people 😊.

A nice restaurant! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very inviting. The fish platter was freshly prepared and very tasty, the baked aubergines were a real treat. Highly recommend this restaurant for a Greek culinary experience. Price-performance fits together

Great atmosphere and very tasty food, prices are also totally reasonable and the service is great

Very cozy and delicious food always my pleasure

Four of us had dinner last night. We were very satisfied. The food was very tasty and the Greek beer tasted very good. The mocha was also very good. At the end the innkeeper invited us to a wholesome ouzo for digestion. My birthday dinner was a complete success. 👌🤝👍😋😋😋😂👍🤝👌

Food was quite okay. Nothing special, but not bad either. The portions could have been a little larger given the price. The conditions were significantly different. The lady was friendly and uncomplicated. The slightly older gentleman was quite rushed and unpleasantly insisted on a tip. Absolute no-go. In addition, our table was clearly dirty, just a few minutes after it opened. Unfortunately no feel-good factor. And why is the shop called Poseidon when the fish menu is unspectacular and tiny compared to the schnitzel and steak offerings?

Very cozy atmosphere, very friendly and relaxed staff, very tasty food - not like some wild mountains of meat like elsewhere, everything tastes fresh and is beautifully presented. Unfortunately I come there far too rarely 🍷🇬🇷❤️ (Visited April 22, 2024)

We can recommend this restaurant. It's better to make a reservation because it's very busy.

Delicious cheap food, super friendly staff

We enjoyed delicious food on the terrace outside. :) 🌞

We had a spontaneous meal and were assigned a great table. And a very nice waiter served us. Kudos to the kitchen, we really enjoyed it.

Lunch menu offers aren't exactly bargains, but the portions are quite manageable.

It was a very nice stay with delicious food. The atmosphere is great and the service staff was friendly, attentive and very competent. The meal was a spontaneous enrichment on the return journey from a short vacation in Düsseldorf. Thank you for that. If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come back

Good selection of food and drinks (including wines from dry to fortified wine), which can also be tailored to your own preferences and tastes. The space can be used to host a large family celebration, which is complemented by an outdoor area in the warm season. I recommend calling ahead to reserve a spot as it can get really crowded!!!

Very friendly staff and good food

The food was good and recommended. When paying, the waiter's tip of 3 euros was not enough, which he made clear with a stupid comment - so the restaurant no longer sees me, otherwise we would have liked to come back.

As always, the food was delicious, the service was friendly, we'd be back again

Originally discovered through Schlemmerblock, now visited again afterwards, which is always a good sign. :-) Very tasty food, the staff is super helpful and service-oriented. Central location, but it is recommended to come by public transport instead of car due to the parking situation in DA. Be careful when choosing your food, changes and extras will be charged, but they are also shown on the menu and are absolutely fine in terms of price-performance ratio. Happy again and recommended!

Delicious food! Friendly staff!

Food delicious, service very friendly - I was completely satisfied 👍

Everything was fine, we were there with the gourmet block, so we received a main course for free - and even a free ouzo. Food very tasty, service friendly and attentive. Without a reservation (we were there on a Saturday evening) but no chance of getting a seat. We'll definitely come back.

Four of us were here on Saturday evening with gourmet blocks. Despite the restaurants being full (reservation recommended), attentive and unobtrusive service. Delicious food, ouzo on the house and very good Braustübl beer on tap. For 5 stars, the portions could be a little larger.

Just not good. Waited 1 hour and 50 minutes for the food after ordering, the store was less than half full the entire time. The service staff openly refused when we wanted to pay by card. Some of the food was only lukewarm, some of the side dishes were forgotten and had to be requested several times. The starter bread that was initially ordered came after(!) the main course was completed. We won't be coming back.

The food was not top but the service and atmosphere were great and also don’t forget to try wine there it was very good.

There were six of us here as a family on a Saturday evening. Very friendly and courteous service. We were served quickly and well. The food was hot, tasty and just good. As a thank you we got an ouzo on the house. Thank you!

We were there for the first time today... and we were actually very happy to visit this restaurant... but we certainly won't go there again... The portions were really small...we have no problem paying more money for good food if it's enough...but it wasn't enough. But the absolute highlight was that in the end we didn't even get ouzo...like other guests...probably because we were there with a gourmet block... Fortunately for us, there are many other Greek restaurants nearby where people would like to go again and again...

We had a wonderful dinner at this absolutely incredible restaurant. A Greek restaurant in the heart of Darmstadt, Germany.

Everything was fine, we were there with the gourmet block and got a main course for free, so to speak. The food, service and ambience were good.

We were here as a group, the female waitress was very nice, but the older gentleman wasn't at all. It took 1.5 hours from the time the order was placed until the side salad arrived, and another half hour until the food arrived. No bread or anything else was put out to “break up” the waiting time. All in all, the food was ok, but for the price, the waiting time and the unfriendly older men, I wouldn't recommend it.

Friendly staff, large selection of dishes and very tasty food.

Nice Greek with great staff. The meat was a bit oversalted for my taste, but everything was still very tasty. It's nice when the chef is in love ;)

Typical Greek food but the quality is not the best. Bit dry.

We had booked a table for 7:30 p.m. We sat there at 7:35 p.m. We left at 8:05 p.m. Although 2 waiters together brought drinks past us a total of 5 times to the tables next to and behind us, we weren't even asked about drinks. Ok, it's Valentine's Day and there's a lot going on. But the couple behind us came at the same time as us and at least had their drinks after 10 minutes. We've been there several times and everything was ok. I often experience friendliness in better quality. But I come to eat well and not to make friends. But today was my last visit there.

Wir hatten für 19:30 einen Tisch bestellt. Um 19:35 saßen wir dann dort. Um 20:05 sind wir gegangen. Obwohl 2 Kellner zusammen insgesamt 5 mal an uns vorbei an den Tischen neben und hinter uns Getränke brachten, wurden wir noch nicht mal wegen Getränken gefragt. Ok es ist Valentinstag und viel los. Aber das Pärchen hinter uns ist gleichzeitig mit uns gekommen und hatte nach 10 Minuten zumindest ihre Getränke. Wir waren schon öfter dort und es war alles ok. Wobei Freundlichkeit erlebe ich oft in besserer Qualität. Aber ich komme um gut zu essen und nicht um Freunde zu finden. Aber das heute war mein letzter Besuch dort.

Very, very pleasant place! Delicious dishes and hospitable atmosphere!

Also, die Vorspeise war richtig lecker, der Hauptgang guter Durchschnitt. Das Ambiente nach der Renovierung ist wirklich schön und gemütlich. Der Service war ein wenig durcheinander, was aber vllt am ständig voll besetzten Lokal lag. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen, um noch ein paar interessante Punkte auf der Speisekarte zu testen.

My favorite restaurant when I'm out of Greece and craving good Greek food. Warm atmosphere, impeccable service. Satisfying portions, cost of dishes satisfactory. Specially recommended are the Spezial Platte (variety of meats), the dishes cooked with Metaxas. For dessert, galaktobourek and raspberry panna cotta. No.1, we will start again.

Nice restaurant, food tasty and sufficiently seasoned, prices reasonable, service attentive. What more do you want.

Nice service, very good food, again at any time.

Sehr nettes personal und sehr gutes essen !!!

Sehr gutes Essen. Sehr nette Bedienung. Sehr empfehlenswert. Bester Grieche in Darmstadt

Preislich ok. Geschmacklich schlecht.

Das Restaurant hat mir im vergangenen Monat einige Hotelnächte in Darmstadt versüßt. Mega leckeres Essen zu fast schon unrealistisch niedrigen Preisen . Das Personal ist super freundlich Danke für alles Wenn ich wieder in Darmstadt bin komm ich definitiv wieder zu euch. <3

Leckerer Mittagstisch zum vernünftigen Preis. Erfahrenes und nettes Personal.

Wir kennen das Lokal schon sehr lange. Das Essen war geschmacklich gut. Allerdings sind die Portionen sehr viel kleiner geworden.

Service is excellent. We didn’t have a reservation, but they still found us a nice table to have dinner. The hosts are real Greeks. The food is amazing, and almost no waiting time. The atmosphere is also very nice.

Ich war schon länger nicht mehr da, waren aber dieses Mal ziemlich enttäuscht. Die Portion (Hauptspeise) ist sehr übersichtlich geworden und geschmacklich sehr fad. Ich wurde als Frau nicht satt und das soll was heißen ;-). Das 1. Mal beim Griechen, das ich das erlebt habe. Preise sind im oberen Bereich, dafür könnten die Portionen auch dementsprechend üppiger sein. Krönung war aber, das wir 40 min auf die Rechnung warten mussten, da wohl nur einer dort kassieren darf und der hatte nicht früher Zeit. Das ist ein absolutes no go. Außerdem war es doch recht kühl in den Räumlichkeiten da.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Das Personal ist super freundlich. Alles in allem top!!!

Sehr sehr leckeres griechisches Essen. Zuvorkommende Kellner und nettes Flair. Tip top 👍

Typisches griechisches Restaurant mit super super freundlichem Servicepersonal. Das Essen ist typisch für diese Restaurants und besserer Durchschnitt. Die Portionen sind angemessen nicht übergroß. Leider war das Schweinesteak zu lange gegrillt, es war trocken und sehr bissfest. Das Dessert war sehr süß aber hervorragend. Das Lamm war so wie es dein sollte, ebenso die Dicken Bohnen . Dieses Restaurant ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Nun ja, wo soll man anfangen bei der Schlechten Bedienung die wir hatten oder bei den Ominösen BlumenTöpfen, da vergeht einem der Appetit. Abgesehen das die Portionen viel zu mickrig waren, haben die dennoch geschmeckt. Die Runde Ouzo die einem eingeschenkt wird nach dem Essen, kam bei der Bezahlung wie das essen viel zu spät(nicht mitbekommen,von Hören und sagen ;)). Hier gab es meinerseits kein Trinkgeld was echt selten ist, in diesem Falle war es leider gerechtfertigt. Mein Fazit: das erste und das letzte mal in diesem Lokal.

Wir haben uns mit Freunden im Poseidon verabredet. Drei Paare und alle hatten einen Schlemmerblock. Sowohl im Schlemmerblock als auch an der Eingangstür war der Hinweis zu finden, dass man mit Karte zahlen kann. Wir haben vor der Bestellung darauf hingewiesen, dass wir den Schlemmerblock nutzen und außerdem wies ich daraufhin, dass wir getrennt bezahlen. Der uns zugewiesene Tisch stand in einer Ecke direkt vor den Fenstern. Es war kalt. Keine Heizung. Wir wechselten den Tisch. Kalt war es immer noch aber es zog wenigstens nicht mehr. Später entdeckte ich, dass die Toilette angenehm temperiert war. Hätte ich das vorher gewusst, wäre ich öfter mal zum Örtchen gegangen. Auf das Essen warteten wir fast ein Stunde und als es kam, war es lauwarm. Als wir bezahlen wollten, kam die Bedienung mit nur einem Kassenzettel und rechnete für jedes Paar den zu zahlenden Betrag in irgendeinem Blöckchen aus. Zwei Paare zahlten bar, ich wollte mit Karte bezahlen und bat um eine Rechnung. Da wurde mir gesagt, dass dies nicht mehr möglich sein. Nach den Regeln des Schlemmerblocks müsste ich bei der Bestellung angeben, ob ich bar oder mit Karte zahlen wollte. Das war definitiv gelogen. Auch eine eigene Rechnung erhielt ich nicht mehr. Ich nahm aber die Gesamtrechnung mit und rechnete zuhause nach! Fazit: bei allen drei Paaren wurde falsch kassiert und immer zu unseren Ungunsten.

Mein lieblings Grieche in Darmstadt auch zur Mittagszeit eine echte Empfehlung. Die Mitarbeiter sind zu jeder Tageszeit freundlich und hilfsbereit. Lohnt sich immer.

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant mitten in Darmstadt. Es wurde Brot und Salat vor dem Hauptgang auf den Tisch gestellt und es gab am Ende noch einen Ouzo aufs Haus. Das bekommt man heute nur noch in ganz wenigen Restaurants. Der Poseidon Teller und das Bifteki war 1A und richtig lecker. Preise sind OK und die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr nett und höflich. Ein guter Grieche der immer wieder einen Besuch wert ist.

Portionen ungewöhnlich klein (mein Gericht war ausreichend, aber die der anderen waren recht klein. Eine halbe Portion mehr, wäre wünschenswert), geschmacklich ok - da gibt es deutlich bessere. Preis ok. Nur mittelmaß leider. Service allerings sehr freundlich!
