Restaurant Elefanten in Ludwigsburg

Very good restaurant, very good menu. Friendly service. Even though the place was full, we all got our food at the same time. Unfortunately, it's very noisy, but since the food is so good, we'll go back.

Das Abendessen war ein absolutes Highlight! Die Speisen waren nicht nur hervorragend zubereitet, sondern auch liebevoll angerichtet. Die Aromen harmonierten perfekt, und die Zutaten waren von bester Qualität. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die frische und kreative Zubereitung – jedes Gericht war ein Genuss für den Gaumen. Auch der Service war hervorragend: freundlich, aufmerksam und dennoch unaufdringlich. Die gemütliche Atmosphäre rundete das kulinarische Erlebnis perfekt ab. Ein Abendessen, das in Erinnerung bleibt – absolut empfehlenswert!

Top Greek restaurant. I eat here once a week and I really like the food and the service. Everything is great. Five stars from me.

Das Elefanten, ein griechisches Restaurant in Ludwigsburg, war bereits gut gefüllt, als wir anriefen und uns nach einem Tisch für zwei Personen erkundigten. Am Telefon war man flexibel: 19:30? Bekommen wir irgendwie hin, vielleicht dauert es ein paar Minuten, wir sind gerade sehr gut besucht. Wir hatten also genügend Zeit, um einen Parkplatz zu suchen, denn das Restaurant liegt in der Osterholzallee in Ludwigsburg und Parkplätze sind rar. An dieser Stelle der Hinweis: Parken, auch in den Seitenstraßen Ludwigsburgs, ist von Morgens bis 19:00 Uhr von Montag bis Samstag gebührenpflichtig. Wir hatten Glück und konnten direkt vor der Tür einen Platz ergattern. Ein paar Stufen hinauf in den kleinen Windfang, dann ins Restaurant. Es war übrigens Mittwoch und der Laden war voll. Der Gastraum ist überschaubar und der Service war zügig zur Stelle und fragte sehr höflich nach einer Reservierung, wies uns umgehend zu unserem Tisch, der kurz vorher frei wurde. Alles ist ordentlich eingerichtet, gut durchorganisiert und ausgesprochen freundlich, trotz der zahlreichen Gäste. Entsprechend war der Geräuschpegel, der gleichwohl eine normale Unterhaltung gestattete. Die Karte wies die landestypischen Gerichte aus. Viel Fleisch, Fisch und obligatorische Salate. Für mich ungewöhnlich: Gyros mit einer Sahnesoße. Meine Begleitung war begeistert, wir bestellten und nach kurzer Zeit stand eine kleine Salatschüssel für jeden von uns bereit. Auf den Salat folgten unsere Speisen, genau abgestimmt, keine Minute zu spät. Und es war alles wirklich ausgezeichnet: Herrlich knuspriges Gyros, saftige Souvlaki-Stücke, krosse Pommes, frische rote Zwiebelringe, der übliche Gemüsereis, angenehm bissfest. Das cremige Zaziki passte sehr gut, es schmeckte zart-frisch, unaufdringlich obschon etwas präsent, sehr gut gelungen. Das Sahnesaucen-Gyros meiner Begleitung war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet, wie mir versichert wurde. Die Getränke waren angenehm temperiert: Eine Flasche Mineralwasser, dazu ein üblicher Softdrink amerikanischer Provenienz sind selbsterklärend und stillten die dürstenden Kehlen. Der Service war stets sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und auf Zack. Immer mit einem Ohr bei den Gästen und einem Lächeln im Gesicht. Immer wieder die Frage, ob es schmeckt. Und das tat es. Wir waren sehr zufrieden: Das Essen, der Service, das Lokal: Ein vernünftiges Abendessen im Rundum-Sorglos-Paket. Herrlich. Man kann das Elefanten jedem empfehlen, der gerne mediterrane Fleischgerichte und andere Spezialitäten aus Griechenland in gutbürgerlicher Atmosphäre essen möchte. Unser Besuch war Abends und das Lokal war die ganze Zeit über sehr gut besucht, daher empfiehlt es sich, unbedingt einen Tisch vor dem Besuch zu reservieren.

Small but nice. The place is like a Greek restaurant should be. The most important thing is the food is great. I've been there a few times and have never been disappointed.

An absolutely nice cozy restaurant. The food, absolutely top class!!!!! We were there before a concert as it is not too far from the MHP Arena on foot (approx. 1.4km). Reservation in advance was the right thing to do as many people wanted a table but everything was full. If we come to Ludwigsburg again, this restaurant will be a point of contact again!!!!

At the same level for years. Very good, friendly and extremely attentive service. You get your drinks within minutes. Food tasty, fresh and generous portions. Price performance is as good as it gets. Reservation essential, even at lunchtime. We discovered that you can get a table at lunchtime around 1 p.m. even without a reservation. Unfortunately, finding a parking space is a matter of luck.

Ate very well today. Friendly staff.

Basically a very nice restaurant. With nice staff, but waiting times that are far too long.

Delicious food... Fast and attentive service and great service. Food beautifully prepared

Visited the Elephant for the first time today. 5 stars for the service. Laughed a lot with the host and ate very well. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Perfect food. Freshly prepared. Service perfect

Very tasty, very patient and very friendly. Great atmosphere, you can eat in peace and have a leisurely look at the menu. Highly recommended 💪💪

Solider Grieche wie es sein soll. Kein Firlefanz. Nur gutes Essen und griechische Gastfreundschaft. Sehr gelungener Abend.

Solid Greek as it should be. No frills. Just good food and Greek hospitality. Very successful evening.

Food was delicious, very large portions, very nice service

Absolutely recommended...very tasty

Food delicious Warm innkeeper Service great

Unfortunately I can't understand the good reviews. The food is not good, but not cheap either. I won't go there anymore.

A cozy restaurant, very nice owners who serve their guests. Despite the upcoming opening break, we were welcomed and served... the food was tasty and in large quantities, everyone would leave satisfied :)

Friendly owner. Delicious food. Good prices.

The favorite Greek. Yesterday, January 11th, 2025, we were at the elephant again, luckily we had a reservation because the restaurant was packed at 8 p.m. But that didn't change the fact that the service was friendly and the food and drinks were served quickly.

Very few places that seem middle-class are as good as the Elefant. Everything is just right here - friendly, helpful service - very good food (more than good) A price-performance ratio that couldn't be better. Here you go home satisfied and fulfilled. Only recommended.

You have to make a reservation, but it's worth it

Tolles Essen mit extrem freundlicher Bedienung, seit vielen Jahren immer top. Leckere griechische Küche in schönem Ambiente

Were there for the first time today. Super delicious food, very, very nice, courteous service. We'll be back.

We often celebrate our birthdays at the elephant and have never been disappointed. Food is absolutely top class. 6 stars.

Very tasty food, nice selection, very nice service.

Friendly service and good Greek cuisine.

Rich menu. Food top. Super friendly boss. Really recommended.

Good food and very friendly service (and a table could be reserved at short notice in the run-up to Christmas!).

Yesterday we went to dinner with siblings for the second time. Very good 😋 Went to the Elephant Restaurant for lunch for the first time on November 26, 2024. It was delicious. Friendly innkeeper. Pretty restaurant!

The food is wonderful Above all, the conditions are very friendly

Very good restaurant. The food was top and the service was also top notch 👍

Great food! Great service! Thanks! It was a nice evening 👍

The food is really very good. Price/quality...ok! Friendly and attentive staff. I have been frequenting the place with my family for several years and everyone is always satisfied and happy. Congratulations to the whole Team! See you soon 👋🙂

The food and services were very good. Unfortunately, wheelchair users cannot access the restaurant except outside. The employees are very friendly

Great food and super nice waiter. We actually wanted to eat a kebab opposite but we didn't like what we saw so we fled to the opposite. I had a meat platter with a schnitzel and gyro meat and my girlfriend had a gyro plate. Both super tasty. I actually don't like fries that much but they were really tasty there :) It wasn't too salty either, as I had unfortunately already experienced at Greek restaurants in Möhringen, Vaihingen and Cannstatt. So we can only warmly recommend it!

Small Greek restaurant, very friendly service, fast service. Food plentiful and tasty.

Very tasty food. Very nice, courteous bosses and waitresses. Reservations are recommended. Thanks.

Today was my daughter's birthday and we went here for dinner. It was like a vacation in Greece. Staff is super friendly. The food was simply great. We had different dishes. From grill plates to grilled vegetables. Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared. I talked to the boss. He is what you would imagine a Greek restaurateur to be. Absolutely nice and always up for a joke. It's like being in Greece. Price/performance are absolutely fine. Can only recommend it to everyone. If you eat there, it's like you're on vacation for a few hours. We, for ourselves, would love to come back. We felt very comfortable. Thanks for the hospitality. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very friendly staff and it tastes good every time you visit.

Very good food, value for money is right. Friendly service, would love to come back!

A very good restaurant with very friendly staff and very good food. At the end there was a Ramazotti. I'll definitely come back.

Everything was great, from the service to the delicious food 😋 Always happy 🫶

Very good service, very friendly and delicious food, top 👍

Very tasty food and friendly staff ☺️ gladly again!!!

This evening we ate at the Elephant Restaurant for the first time. The service is incredibly warm, friendly and accommodating. The food was really great and the portions were really big. We had gyros. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend the restaurant.

The best Greek restaurant around. Service excellent, staff friendly and guest-oriented. After ordering, there is only a short wait until the food is served.

Deliciously good red house wine. Had saganaki and pepperoni with garlic

Very tasty food. Service top food comes quickly everything in one Highly recommended!

Always my pleasure! Delicious food, friendly staff

For me the best Greek restaurant in the Ludwigsburg area! We've been visiting the restaurant for years - always at regular intervals - and no matter whether it's fish or meat, the food is super delicious! The staff are always friendly and accommodating and Ilias (the owner) is a great host. If you want delicious Greek food, then Elephant is definitely the right place.

Very good Greek cuisine. Very good in terms of taste and quantity. Ms. and Mr. Manolis, as well as the staff, were very friendly and attentive. At the end there was an ouzo. Thanks for that. We would be happy to come back and can recommend this restaurant at any time.

Authentic Greek hospitality and such delicious food. In addition to the Germanized grill plate, there are also real dishes. The tzatziki and taramas are to die for. Unfortunately the seating is a bit cramped, but with such high quality food that doesn't matter. Only the convenience yoghurt sauce on the salad doesn't taste good at all and it would be good if you were asked beforehand whether you would like it at all.

Newly discovered, the Elephant Restaurant. Delicious food, large portions, friendly staff, good value for money. Be sure to reserve a table.

Very friendly service, all food came quickly and at the same time. Big portion. Prices are ok. There were five of us and everyone was very happy with their food.

Absolutely outstanding! The food was delicious, the waiters were all very accommodating and friendly and there was a “wege-ouzo” to say goodbye.

Great price performance very satisfied

As always, the food was delicious. The best Greek restaurant in the Ludwigsburg district for me and us.

Very tasty Greek food. We will definitely visit again

I've tried a lot of Greek restaurants but none are better. I'm thrilled with the food and of course the hospitality of the staff 😍

Beautiful restaurant and soothing ambiance with wide variety of tasty food. Been here couple of times, Loved it!!!

Very good food and top service. Always happy.

Very good food. Are happy there. Nice staff and good value for money... what more could you want.

Very tasty food of the best quality and friendly service

Was here for the first time today. Everything perfect! Only recommended. Service is great and everyone is consistently friendly and funny. We'll definitely be back!

Delicious food, good service and huge portions.

Went there for the first time today. I can only recommend it. Very courteous staff. Great food. Very busy...reservation recommended...

The Greek cuisine is great. Vegetarian food possible and delicious! The service could be a little warmer, but absolutely within limits. The ambience corresponds to an average restaurant.

Food was great, service was nice and friendly! There were 8 of us and everyone got their food at the same time. Thanks for a great evening👍Highly recommended ☺️

I enjoy going there every year. Always on mother and child's birthday -:)) we have known Manolu for a long time.

We booked a table in advance. We were with friends. The food, the service - we liked everything very much. The minus is that it is difficult to find a parking space near the restaurant.

It was once again such a beautiful evening and this time it was my birthday Thank you for your great work and the great atmosphere and a really delicious meal

There were four of us there last night and we couldn't have made a better decision. The food was delicious, the service was very nice, quick and attentive. Plus a cozy atmosphere and a very good price-performance ratio. For me the best Greek restaurant in Ludwigsburg.

Super delicious food, great service! Be sure to reserve

Very tasty and very friendly service,

The restaurant was full, but we were served quickly and the food came unexpectedly quickly. My calamari was delicious and so was the dessert Galaktoboureko

The food was ok, the price/performance ratio was okay, which could be criticized, unfortunately there was far too little attention and we couldn't order drinks or dessert for a long time because no one came. Overall, we would come back👍👍😊

It's really delicious no matter what you get. Highly recommended. Since the portions are very large, we recommend eating one plate separately.

Reservation recommended - even during the week! Authentic, delicious Greek cuisine at a fair price/performance ratio.

We passed by by chance. The food was super tasty. We are very satisfied. It was a pleasure!

You just always enjoy being here. You feel welcome as soon as you make your reservation over the phone and as soon as you come in anyway. Food is fantastic. There can hardly be anything better than having such a great restaurant within walking distance.

Had dinner there again with friends and, as always, we were full. The food is extremely good, in my opinion the best Greek in the Ludwigsburg area. Order a table, the shop is often full within minutes, which is no wonder, even in 2024. If you like Greek you have to take the elephant with you. Enjoy it.

Very good Greek food, especially plenty of it. I always take the fish platter for 1 person, and it's so much and good that you just have to eat it up 🤗 the owner Ilia, top host. Always my pleasure .

I am of the opinion that the quality of a Greek restaurant can be measured by the quality of the gyro. And the gyros were great 😊😊 Best Greek!!!!!!!

Wir waren gestern mit 2 anderen Pärchen mal wieder im Elefanten. Der Elefant hat einen sehr guten Ruf im Ludwigsburger Kreis und konnte den Eindruck bestätigen. Wir waren alle pappsatt und alle waren sehr zufrieden. In meinem Fall gab es Pitabrot als Vorspeise und eine Elefantenplatte als Hauptgericht. Mega und reichlich. Einen Uzo oder Espresso gab es aufs Haus und das war der Auftakt zu einem sehr entspannten, lustigen Abend. Einen Punkt hab ich beim Ambiente abgezogen, da wir neben der Tür saßen und der Rückstand von ankommenden Gästen doch etwas unangenehm war. Aber hier trotzdem eine fette Empfehlung. Best greek in town!

Das Gyros ist ein Traum. Leckere griechische Küche in angenehmer Atmosphäre. Service zuvorkommend und nett. Kommen sicher wieder! Nachdem wir nicht alles aufessen konnten, wurde uns eine Togo Box angeboten. Darin wurde das Essen genauso schön angerichtet wie auf dem Tisch. Kompliment an die Küche!

Decent food, cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff

Essen top und reichlich,sehr freundliches Personal

Seit 15 Jahren eine Institution in Ludwigsburg.

Griechische Gastfreundschaft und tolles Essen, einfach super!

Alles war i.o ich kann mich nicht beklagen.

Sehr leckeres Essen, haben uns sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Wir werden euch noch oft besuchen.

Sehr leckeres Essen! Aber die zweite Preiserhöhung dieses Jahr! Und das jedes Mal einige €€. Wir waren immer gerne hier, aber so langsam wird’s teuer!

Ich war schon länger nicht hier gewesen aber das Restaurant bleibt bei mir in guter Erinnerung. Nettes Ambiente, leckere Speisen, guter Service und vor allem der Preis ist fast unschlagbar. Kann es jedem empfehlen der griechisches Essen mag.

Nettes Restaurant mit großer Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken zu guten Preisen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, nett und hilfsbereit. Uns hat es geschmeckt und kommen auch gerne wieder.

Sehr guter Service, auch auf Extrawünsche wird sehr freundlich eingegangen. Essen schmeckt lecker

Sehr leckere Küche und nette Mitarbeiter. Gerne wieder!

War heute zum ersten Mal ihr und muss sagen ich bin mehr als begeistert. Gutes Essen nettes Personal sehr aufmerksam. Komme gerne wieder..
