Restaurant Eleo 1220 in Arnsberg

Once again a very cozy and culinary perfect evening with the best Greek cuisine.

Unfortunately, the expectations were not met. We (adults) visited the restaurant because of the consistently positive reviews and videos on social media. Unfortunately we were disappointed. After entering the restaurant we were brought to our seat by a lot of noise. The light wasn't comfortable. You had the feeling of sitting in a cone of light. The waiter who was mainly responsible for our table was very unfriendly. Hardly a word passed his lips. We waited 25 minutes until we were allowed to order. Based on the videos and announcements from the operators, we assumed that the food would be presented in a tapas-like manner. We selected various warm and cold dishes from the starters. At the end, add a classic dish as the main course. For a starter plate for €17.90, I expect more than 4 slices of fried zucchini and eggplant and 1 small spoonful of puree. The carpaccio was solid but not a revelation. The remaining 3 dishes were nothing earth-shattering. The baguette and dip served were more reminiscent of a baked baguette from the discount store. The pita bread unfortunately for you. Not homemade. Very unfortunate. Tzatziki was also very flabby. Overall, the whistle was missing. The only thing you could always taste was masses of oil. This dripped from the food and the table was completely smeared. When you pay over €50 for starters you expect more. The main courses unfortunately matched the quality of the starters. Both the pork and poultry dishes were at best average in terms of quality, taste and presentation of the dishes. The salmon dishes were a disaster. I mean something different by lemon sauce. The salmon was completely full of bones. You couldn't enjoy the food in any way because you were constantly trying not to choke. The waiter brusquely dismissed our objection and left. Overall, the service staff seemed very abrupt and abrupt. Hardly a nice word. People scurried through and distributed the plates more or less successfully. An employee always mixed up the tables, food and drinks and walked around aimlessly. Presented dishes to guests that belonged somewhere completely different. There were a lot of staff to be seen, but you had the impression that they were overwhelmed by the number of people. It was a deafening atmosphere. It was difficult to converse or understand one another. We ended up spending €200 and were very disappointed with the evening. Unfortunately we don't recommend it. We didn't experience the perfect Greek cuisine that was advertised, although we did choose our dishes afterwards.

Very friendly employees! After ordering, the food order was delivered surprisingly quickly, Conveniently located at the motorway exit, plenty of free parking spaces.

The fries are as crispy as my Knoppers at 9:30 a.m. in Greece. The meat is more tender than my second-best friend in the getting-to-know-you phase of dating women. The drinks come faster than herpes at Ballermann. The boss looks better than Laura Wontorra in a short skirt at off-the-wall height. P.S. The floor lamp in the driveway flickers from around 9 p.m. I'd love to come back.

Got a table without a reservation. Fast service, great food and mega good portions.

We ate at the Eleo restaurant and overall we left full and the service was fantastic and very friendly. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is not very Greek, but it is quite modern. Overall, the food was good, the sauces were very well seasoned and the side dishes were also good. The goat cheese with honey, pine nuts and dates is highly recommended. I've never eaten anything like this before and it was simply a taste experience. Unfortunately, the meat in both dishes wasn't quite right. The gyro was tough and the pork could have been a little juicier, it was a little dry. But overall you can say that you can still eat quite well there, but it could have been even better.

Great for eating there, it was very tasty

Rarely have I experienced such good service! The ambience is nice. The food came quicker and was super tasty.

First class Greek. Rarely have Greek food been so good.

Very tasty food and friendly staff 😊

Very good food, nice staff and very attentive.

Almost authentic Greek. Really tasty, good price/performance ratio. Portions too big in my opinion.

As always, excellent food! Definitely recommended!

We ate very well there. The large floor-to-ceiling windows invite you to linger. Service was very friendly and drinks and food were at the table quickly. We'll be back!

Very cozy atmosphere - large selection of food and drinks - very friendly service - prompt food reception - good parking facilities. Gladly again!

There is a diverse, very tasty offering here - great cuisine, and some vegetarian and vegan dishes are also on offer. Accordingly, the restaurant is very busy - therefore rather full and usually quite loud.

Very good and tasty food, portions were quite large. Very attentive and friendly staff. Reservation (two “shifts”) advisable.

As always, good service and food very tasty.

Everything is just right here. Delicious food, friendly, attentive service. Very clean. Great value for money...

Gladly again and again. Delicious food.

Delicious food and friendly service. The restaurant also looks good. Price-performance is completely appropriate. We'll be back!

It was really great. Location, service and food. It all fits together wonderfully. And it was very good. Try it out. 👍👍👍

Very nice restaurant and very good staff. Good menu with new Greek cuisine. Good wines.

We were literally thrown out, you weren't allowed to finish your drink. There was simply pressure to get up straight away.

• smart online reservation • delicious food • good portions • nice ambience • Only negative point: sitting near the toilet, it smelled a bit musty

Stopped there again spontaneously yesterday. Wasn't that crowded And the staff is very good at people Store distributed. As usual, everything was great and the ouzo was delicious again.

Attractive, beautiful ambience, very attentive and friendly service and the food from starter to dessert was top :)

Disappointing restaurant visit – Absolutely not recommended! My visit to this restaurant was extremely frustrating. From the start I felt unwelcome and treated like a burden. The staff literally pressured me to pay the bill before I even had a chance to finish my drink. This situation was extremely unpleasant and gave the impression that more emphasis was placed on profit than on the well-being of the guests. I was also asked to be considerate of other guests even though we had already paid and just wanted to enjoy our drink. That further spoiled the evening.

Very attentive service, great food, nice atmosphere. A really great local 👍👍

It was ok to have been there once, but it's not a benchmark.

Super delicious food and great service. You can eat very well there.

The food was OK. It wasn't cold, but it could have been warmer. The drinks came very slowly. If there are 4 empty glasses on the table, I expect at least one question from the service as to whether there can be anything else.

Very authentic Greek cuisine. Unfortunately a bit loud in the main room. Really very friendly staff.

It has now become one of our favorite restaurants. Great service and great food. Accordingly, it is advisable to reserve a table. Addendum: today we had breakfast there and it was very tasty and pleasant. Breakfast for two had everything your heart could desire. Salami, ham and cheese with a Greek twist. Always great there. Great dishes, great staff. We really like it here. The dishes have something for everyone, from vegan to pure meat, everything has tasted very good so far! Edit 05/24: I don't think there's breakfast anymore. Today we were in the beer garden and, as usual, it was great.

Were here on vacation. Great atmosphere, nice restaurant, great staff! Asked about allergies, dealt with them perfectly and paid meticulous attention to them. Unfortunately one item in the order was forgotten, but it wasn't that bad!! I can only recommend the restaurant!!! Thanks guys!!

Very tasty food combined with great service. The evening will definitely be remembered positively.

A wonderful place! Great food and good wines, very high quality. Great service, very friendly and courteous team. Depending on your mood, mood and weather, you can go for a walk along the Ruhr or in the forest, or take the children to the traffic practice area which is right next to the restaurant. There is also a bowling alley in the house. There is sufficient parking space on site. Only recommended! 😍

Completely successful. Top quality, reasonable prices, fast and pleasant service. We'll be back

We've come here to eat several times and it's always a pleasure. The quality is great and there are great vegetarian dishes as well as meat and fish.

We were guests here for the first time. The food tasted excellent. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back.

We always enjoy coming here... ... and again and again this time on Boxing Day

After we returned from our week-long holiday in Greece last Saturday at home in Kerkini, we wanted to go out for dinner with the family yesterday. Our choice fell on the eleo 1220. I have to say it was so cool and I felt transported back to Greece as if the week in between in Germany hadn't existed. The service was top, the food, especially the mezedes, was really authentic. I've been to many Greek restaurants, the eleo 1220 is the restaurant that comes closest to the taverns I've visited in Greece. I felt like I was in my second home, Greece.

Food was amazing! It arrived super quickly and the waitresses were very accommodating!!! The atmosphere itself was really great. The only problem was that we were sitting between two Christmas parties and it was therefore a bit loud. All in all an absolute recommendation!!

Dear Eleo Team, unfortunately I have to delete the 5 stars I gave earlier. Today, December 15th, 2024, my wife and I wanted to have a delicious meal for our twentieth wedding anniversary. The No. 62 + 71 but that was a big step in the toilet bowl, it couldn't be worse!!! The fries from the 62 were cold and hard as a rock, as was the meat in the pan, the gyros from the 71 were cold and dripping with fat through the fried onions on the liver, the liver itself was half raw. THAT WAS OVERALL FOOD FOR THE GARBAGE BIN, AN ATTACK ON OURS TASTE NERVES.!!! Then another thing, the disabled toilet that I previously advertised smelled terribly of urine!!!!! If we had been here for the first time, we would just steer clear of the ELEO 1220. Today the long journey from Sundern-Allendorf wasn't worth it.👎🤮👎

It was rich and very tasty, the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately it wasn't to my taste although I didn't order the gyros, the spicy starter was ok

We were there for dinner with three people on Saturday evening. The entrance area is not really inviting, the ashtrays were overflowing and the leaves were already packed down. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. Unfortunately, the large room was completely booked and so loud that you could hardly understand your own words. Directly on the heating you felt like you were in a sauna and what with the energy costs? The cleanliness of the window sills and decoration left a lot to be desired, very dusty. The service was friendly and attentive. The starters and main courses were plentiful and tasty but not exceptional. The price and performance ratio is okay.

Geschmacklich nicht mein Fall Beschreibung in der Speisekarte war anders beschrieben sollte Gyros sein mit pikanter Soße

The ambience was very pleasant in the evening. Upscale ambience. Service reception was quick and drinks were delivered promptly, unfortunately warm glasses with the beer. Furthermore, several service employees put various items of bread and coffee at the table. Better training is needed here. The food tasted good and the portions were large. Unfortunately, several dishes were cold. (Companies eat a la cart by appointment). Priced a little higher. Nevertheless, I would recommend it and give it another chance.

Rarely have I eaten such delicious Greek food. “Friendship ends with Leber”. There are no compromises there. In the Eleo 1220 it was almost perfect. Very very tasty. Plus the gyros and rice noodles. HAMMA delicious😋. In addition, the service is particularly friendly, attentive but never intrusive. Whether the boys or the girls. It was REALLY GREAT and we enjoyed every minute. Thank you very much. Clear 5 🌟.

The food we all ordered was very tasty. Even though it was very busy that evening, everything came very quickly. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Everyone tries very hard and is open to any questions. There is a nice outdoor area where you can hang out when the weather is good. I would always reserve a table so that I can be sure of getting a seat. Price performance is okay for this atmosphere

Delicious food, great service, unfortunately a bit noisy.

Incredibly good Greek food. My 4 guests and I were completely thrilled by the ambience of the restaurant, the first-class service team and the delicious food. That was hospitality deluxe!!! We will definitely be back.

The food is top. Something different than the typical Greek, there are some really great dishes. In some cases the service could be a little more attentive. It's too loud for me in the restaurant due to the size of the room. All in all, highly recommended.

We've eaten here several times. The various dishes were all very tasty and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Best Greek in the area. Super tasty, not too expensive either. Top. Gladly again.

It's not for nothing that the tip in Neheim Grichisch has everything there. Higher quality and you can taste it. Time policy is due to the number of guests. Justified. Not suitable for in between, but rather for something more exclusive. My feeling, but still full recommendation. Anyone who wants to invite you to something special has come to the right place.

I was there for the first time, without a reservation on a Sunday evening, not smart. We were greeted warmly and even got a table. Efforts were made to make this possible. Lucky you! Excellent food, large portions, super friendly staff. I'd love to come back, but with reservation ;)

The food was again very tasty, the service was also good, the ambience could be better.

Went there for a visit and had a great evening with charming staff and excellent food. If we're in town again we'll definitely come back.

Excellent Greek restaurant with super good food and very good service. Rarely have Greek food been so good.

For us the best Greek restaurant in the area! Had another pleasant evening with friends with great food and perfect service!

Very pleasant atmosphere, good food, good portions, everything fresh and beyond expectations. Overall a nice experience.

Wanted a reservation in 13 days in the border part. (No weekend) Couldn't confirm. There's a train station atmosphere at the back of the hall

The best Greek in Sauerland 😍 Perfect service all around, the waiters are always super nice, attentive and accommodating. Even when the hut is full, the waiters are in a great mood and the service is unique. The many starters and the authentic Greek food is simply delicious. The ambience is really nice, you sit comfortably and it is stylishly furnished. You always get bread with dip and (if you want) ice-cold ouzo in advance. Simply perfect! Absolute recommendation 😊

I have to say, I have never had such good Greek food in my life. We had a wellness weekend and were looking for a restaurant. Since this was only 500m away from the hotel, we decided to go for it. The reservation was very easy. We were welcomed very nicely. The ambience is beautiful. We sat inside. We could have sat outside. The outdoor area is incredibly beautiful. The trees are illuminated. The food was sumptuous and very, very tasty. Never had Greek food so good. We would travel 45km just for this restaurant.

The restaurant itself is very nice and modern, with a great ambience and a beautiful location. Unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. We wanted advice on wine, but were treated condescendingly, as if we had no idea what wine we wanted to drink. When we were told that the menu said that you should contact the service for a detailed wine list, we still didn't receive it. The advice was therefore disappointing. The food was served quickly, but unfortunately the starters had no taste. Given the high prices, the food was in no way justified. We all ordered gyros in different variations, but the gyro was rubbery and barely edible. None of us were able to finish our meal and the plates were returned almost untouched. We found it particularly strange that six out of six people at the table felt this way. It can't be just one person's fault if all six couldn't finish the food. When we openly expressed our opinion when asked why we were returning the food, everyone laughed and downplayed the situation. Overall, we were very disappointed because we had hoped for much more after the good reviews and the nice Instagram presence. Unfortunately, both the food and the service were far below our expectations.

Always a relief to eat here. Not only is the food very good, the service is also quick and attentive. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Inviting atmosphere, friendly service, excellent food and all at fair prices.

Nice restaurant, service friendly and everything went pretty quickly, even though it was busy. Unfortunately, the gyro meat was so fatty that you could see at least as much white fat on almost every piece of meat, despite the sauce. For this reason, we will no longer visit the restaurant. If you spend so much money on a nice meal, it should taste good too.

Super tasty food at fair prices, but always order a table in advance as it is almost always fully booked.

A modern Greek restaurant. We were very positively surprised!

Great food with friendly service! Free ouzo was not diluted.

Top cuisine, no matter which course. Very friendly and flexible staff.

Simply great! We will come more often

Let's start on a positive note: the food was - as always - good and the price was also completely reasonable. The drinks were also mostly good, so if you don't have anything made yourself, "Crodino Spritz" is Crodino with mineral water, well. Let's move on to customer friendliness. We wanted to sit outside with a group of 10 people, but were not allowed to push two tables that were 50 cm apart next to each other towards each other. We then had to go into the even warmer indoor area when the outside temperature was 26 degrees. The heat probably also had an impact on the friendliness of the staff and their ability to use the equipment for orders; good staff is probably rare. And consequently the highlight is the service. After a while, individual dishes were served. Shortly afterwards the food was taken away from us and these plates were served to other customers at another table.

Very tasty food for an affordable price. Highly recommended. We were offered a glass of ouzo both before and after the meal. If we are in the area we will definitely come again.

Really very nice restaurant and really delicious food! We can only recommend it!

Rather inconspicuous from the outside; Actually a very nice beer garden, with food and service at a high level. Fortunately, Eleo also sees itself as 'the classic Greek', who gives the guest the ouzo they are thirsty for. That's how it works! The prices are reasonable and the interior is of a modern standard. As is well known, the eye also eats. A romantic place and definitely recommended.

Very good food, the restaurant is located on a quiet side street. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food, but otherwise it was great

Super friendly service, food was very good. We'll definitely be back.

Very attentive staff and varied menu

We were invited there on our first visit and we liked it so much that we went back again after two weeks. Modern and tastefully furnished, delicious food and large portions. Nice service. A little far away from us but the long journey is worth it.

Great location, nice staff and delicious food. We'd love to come back

A lot of dishes were unavailable but they were bad at communicating what was available. We also had to wait over an hour and 30 mins for our food, and got some of our order wrong. The food itself was amazing tho.

If you want to stand in front of closed doors during official opening hours, then you can come to Eleo 1220. Without any notice on the various online platforms or at the restaurant itself, you could start the 30-minute journey home again. Thanks!

Great restaurant but if you want to sit outside you have to order big drinks 😂 You can't order small ones for whatever reason 🤡 So greed is the main focus in this restaurant and not the guest!!!

Super friendly staff plus very good food and large portions.

Great restaurant, book before you go. Otherwise you might end up not in the main restaurant.

Thank you... For me you saved the reputation of Greek restaurants in Germany. There is really great and authentic Greek cuisine here at a fair price. Great and warm service, huge portions, delicious ouzo and a huge selection of original but also traditional Greek dishes. We are always happy to accept the 100 km journey. Thank you for the lovely evenings with you. We felt very comfortable both on the terrace and in the restaurant

We went here for dinner today for our wedding anniversary and we were more than thrilled. The service was great, very attentive and very polite. The food was simply delicious. The ambience was good, we sat outside, next time we will definitely sit in the restaurant, but what we saw was very modern and attractive. Thanks to all the employees, we had a very nice time with you and big praise to the kitchen. We will see each other again, guaranteed. Keep it up. We can only recommend the restaurant.

Great atmosphere, super delicious food and still a friendly and attentive staff. Can definitely be highly recommended

Excellent. This is how you imagine a nice evening in a Greek restaurant. Delicious, authentic dishes and great service. Come as a guest and leave as a friend🇬🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹👌

Unfortunately, things have deteriorated a lot since opening. In Greece you can taste the love with which the food is prepared. Unfortunately that is not the case here. The food is ok, but I expect more for the price!

Great location, good food and drinks, friendly and competent and a very nice atmosphere

Nice atmosphere, very good service and really good food Price/performance more than justified We have already discussed dessert what we would like to eat on our next visit... We'd love to come back

An amazing restaurant. I would love to tell you more dish of the menu is special. From the times I have visited and tried menu items, I have one thing to say. Everything is unique and delicious.

Beautiful restaurant where everything is right... Food..service and atmosphere.. I would love to come back and look forward to the next time😊

I was served chicken that was undercooked and didn't feel the need to compensate me...

My sisters and I were very satisfied again. Very friendly, attentive staff. Food rich and super tasty. Interior very comfortable. Were now in the really great beer garden. We're already looking forward to next time.
