Restaurant Kalimera in Bad Zwischenahn

Very friendly and comfortable made a well-kept impression

Reserved a table 2 months ago. When we arrived the table was not prepared. Very bad for a birthday party. The kitchen team was apparently overwhelmed and we left after 2 hours. No response when I asked to bring us water, bread or anything, unfriendly lack of understanding. Then Quadsi was given the tzatziki and some bread. The best comment was “We could have just left!” To avoid further discussions, I paid for the drinks. All the tables were simply occupied. I have rarely had such an experience in the catering industry. I went there after waiting 1h45 minutes, we had been patient enough.

As a local, I have to apologize during our visit from Bavaria when 2 people at the table get the same meal of breadcrumbs with something meaty and don't want to eat it (Suzuki), the waitress points this out and gets the answer: other guests also got it, well, thank you We will not enter this bar again!!

We often go out to eat, and luckily for us this experience was a rare example of how it shouldn't be... The table for 8 had been reserved well in advance. When we arrived this table was pushed together. It wasn't a big deal, but it was a recurring theme throughout the visit (no organization or planning). The drink order went fairly quickly. The ordering of the dishes could only be initiated after going to the counter. We had been there for about an hour. The order remained the same. Another hour passed, another request followed, asking us to at least keep us entertained with some bread and spreads. The bread was "served" in an extremely unfriendly manner... more waiting... finally we paid for our drinks and left hungry. Not without disrespectful comments from the staff... unbelievable. That completely messed up our evening, after all we had other plans than sitting in the restaurant for two hours for “nothing”. Never again!! Especially because of how things are handled, things can go wrong for anyone. It's just a question of how to deal with it.

We are currently sitting in the Kalimera with 4 people and are completely thrilled. The food was excellent and the service is great. This makes it fun when you go out to eat. Thanks.

I love Greek food, but what was this? Meat was very dry (fried to death), portions were very small, but the mixed plate cost an impressive €24.90 and souvlaki €20.90. However, the prices are not the main point of criticism, but rather the food and the small portions on the plate. I'm quite willing to pay good money for a good meal, but unfortunately I was very disappointed here. This restaurant is rated 4.4 stars, which makes me wonder what other food people are used to. The day in Bad Zwischenahn was very nice, but the food was really not good. I won't be coming back and therefore I definitely can't recommend the restaurant.

Impudence, not again. We had to wait 40 minutes before we could even place our order. An hour later the food still wasn't there. After we asked, we at least got our side dishes, but only half of them. Then we were told that it would still take a while and since we were at the end of our nerves waiting for over 2 hours for food, we left. We were then accused of saying that we could have seen that it was full!! Impolite. Above all, we had reserved the table for two months and even if it was full, you would have to be okay with that, otherwise you shouldn't offer so many seats. Even though we wasted so much time, we still had to pay for our drinks at the end. Overall, absolutely not recommended and not good treatment of the guests. As far as we noticed, the other guests were similarly dissatisfied and annoyed. We then had to go to McDonalds, at least the service there was much better.

After 25 minutes the order was taken, which is an absurdity. 90 minutes later there was still no food because the waiter asked where the food was and I have never experienced anything so unfriendly. Never again

The food is great, we had to wait 2.5 hours for our food, our anniversary was over 😡

If I could, I wouldn't give any stars for the service. I can't comment on the food as we never got any food. After 2 hours we left the restaurant with no food and an empty stomach. We also had children with us. Then there were unfriendly employees who told us that we should have seen for ourselves how full the store was. Sorry, but it doesn't work at all. We left pissed off.

Can't understand the bad reviews. Were there today with 5 people. Food was very tasty. Staff friendly. Restaurant very clean. Prices are a bit more expensive. But it is also a health resort. The only salad could have been a little more

Ambiance was nice, but the food wasn't good. Gyros for 19.70 not very seasoned, tough and looked like they were cooked not grilled, very small bowl of tzatziki, some rice and coleslaw. Tastier and cheaper in the bistro. We were there for the first and last time. It was also very loud, the coffee machine and large company next to us. We quickly disappeared again

Very friendly staff and the food leaves nothing to be desired.

A very pleasant atmosphere, exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, excellent food, and excellent service. All in all, I highly recommend it.

One gyro please - that's 19.90 EUR - oops, that's a lot - I'm excited about that. There was a small salad with a dash too much basamiko. Gyros - a mini portion. Add a small mountain of rice and a small pot of tzatziki. Disappointing in taste, quality and of course price. There was also no ouzo - not before, not during and not after the meal. I disappoint!! My recommendation: avoid this restaurant!!!

After a wonderful day in Bad Zwischenahn, I discovered a cozy Greek restaurant with a great ambience. I love Greek food, which I enjoy often. This time, unfortunately, an absolute horror experience I first ordered a starter “fried calamari with garlic” from a proud price. 18 euros An ouzo was only offered upon request, and it was warm. The food was ready quickly, but now comes... I was served a small pan with six small pieces of squid floating in fat and burnt onions. When I told them, I was laughed at and insulted by the boss behind the counter. I should then leave, I was told that we can do without sensitive guests… And if I don't pay full price for half the dish, he'll call the police. Unfortunately, as I was alone as a woman, I had to leave the restaurant and pay 18 euros for an appetizer, which I didn't even enjoy... Such behavior is absolute disgrace! Avoid this place, you won't have any fun. You couldn't be more unfriendly Now I realize why there are so many bad reviews here, unfortunately discovered too late.

I was here for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. I had the mixed starters cold and warm which were excellent. The seafood was lightly floured and lightly fried, great saganaki, and the pastes were also very good. Plus gyros, which was also great. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice too. Everything 4.5 - therefore 5 points

Dorade mit gegrilltes Gemüse - sehr sehr lecker. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienung. Schönes modernes Ambiente. Liebe diese authentische griechische Küche. Gute Weine! Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Unfortunately I have to renew my old review. Unfortunately the restaurant lost me as a guest. Sharply increased prices and decreased quality. I loved the Meses record, but this has been greatly reduced in size and things have been changed. To my detriment. When asked whether the record had been changed, the answer was no. I felt a bit ripped off. I had been coming to Kalimera for years and knew exactly what was on the record. The bifteki was very good 👍. However, the price of 22 euros is absolutely not justified. The service has also deteriorated significantly. This is a better way to talk to guests who are friends. The restaurant was anything but busy on a Friday evening, I know otherwise, but that probably suggests that more people are no longer so satisfied. It's a shame, you used to be so good. Now, however, more aimed at walk-in customers. Great Greek restaurant with (unfortunately) a very small menu. For vegetarians it can be a little more. The food we ordered was very tasty and the waiter was great. The only thing I would complain about is that the vegetable skewer is really very small for a main course. We'll be back.

Good Greek restaurant. The food was plentiful and tasted very good. The ambience was appealing and there was nothing to complain about the service either. However, the prices were quite high. Otherwise, you can still recommend it.

I like to eat at “Kalimera”! The service there is very good, polite and friendly. The food is plentiful and it tastes, mmm, very tasty 😋.

The atmosphere is very nice, the guest room and toilets are clean and lovingly furnished. The staff is friendly and warm. The selection of dishes is generous. The food tastes good. However, the prices are rather discouraging. We paid just under 17 euros for a children's schnitzel (!).

Very tasty food and very good service. The price is a bit expensive. But that's normal these days. Nevertheless, we really enjoy coming here. Highly recommended. Best Greek in Bad Zwischenahn. By far better than the neighbor.

Nice restaurant with delicious food and nice service. We always enjoy going there. Special requests, such as a piece of liver with a dish, are happy to be fulfilled.

A beautiful restaurant with a wide choice. Service was very good, friendly and attentive. Enjoyed

The Kalimera restaurant offers good Greek cuisine in a beautiful ambience. The decor is beautiful and extremely comfortable. The service is friendly and nice. The food tastes good, but we didn't think it was value for money. The portions are relatively small and he found it difficult as a group to really feel full. The service could have been a little more attentive, and so two stars were deducted for the food and the not-so-good attentive service.

Simply great. Highly recommended!

Die Atmosphäre ist wirklich gelungen und man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Das Essen war bisher immer gut, wobei die Spareribs hervorzuheben sind. Mega zart und köstlich im Geschmack. Unser Vater möchte allein deshalb immer wieder dort hin.

Had a quick meal at Kalimera last night. I called at 5 p.m. to book a table for 6:30 p.m. for two people. We have eaten there many times, even without booking a table, and have always been seated. The food is super tasty and the service is great. We always enjoy coming back.

Very friendly service, very nice decor and, above all, very tasty food. We will definitely come here again.

Best Greek restaurant in town, unfortunately often very crowded and loud. Without a reservation, there's hardly a chance of getting a spot.

Very tasteful restaurant, delicious food, perfect service! One of the best restaurants I've visited, I highly recommend it!!!!

We just ate at the Kalimera restaurant... all I can say is... great atmosphere.. very friendly service.. excellent food..!! and also clean water bowls filled with fresh water for dogs...🤗 we'll be happy to come back...👍🐶

What a shame! I would prefer to give the restaurant no stars at all. I've been to so many Greek restaurants, but this was the worst. Food cold, meat far too dry, so that has nothing to do with a Greek. The salad consisted of a tiny portion of white cabbage, tasteless, with a slice of cucumber. The main course included a portion of tzatziki, this portion was also so small and had no content, absolutely tasteless. After about 40 minutes we wanted to pay, but unfortunately the waiters were busy drinking an ouzo with their regular customers and having nice conversations. After about 25 minutes the waiter finally came with the bill. At the end everyone got an ouzo on the house after paying, unfortunately we didn't get one. We will not visit this restaurant again. Not even after 25 minutes were we asked if we would like something more to drink.

We ate at Kalimera for the first time yesterday and were thrilled. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. The price/performance ratio is really good. It is a cozy restaurant with a winter garden.

Top restaurant, top food, top service

We were here for the first time and immediately felt at home - nice atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff and of course delicious food 😋, we made another reservation for next week!

Nice restaurant, eat very well. Dogs allowed.

Great, nice people on site. Delicious food, not a kitschy atmosphere.

The price/performance ratio is not right here at all. Omelette, apparently with egg from the bag, for just under 17 euros, tzatziki for just under 7 euros is steep. The side salad was dry and apparently from the bag... Ouzo is not free here either before or at the end. The interior looked very comfortable, toilets were clean. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

We moved from Berlin to Bad Zwischenahn last year and were looking for a new Greek regular because we are absolute Greece fans. We visited Kalimera twice. The food and ambience were good, but something important was missing. There was no ouzo at the beginning or at the end. We don't know that. That's why you won't be our regular Greek, but the food was still good.

Hello Kalimera. 🥰🥰🥰 What a lovely restaurant and what lovely waiters. The food is just amazing for us. No matter what we have ordered so far. Big praise goes to the chef 😋😋. As long as the Kalimera exists, we will always be happy to come to you. L.G. Hans and Evi 😘😘😘

A very nice restaurant. The food was very good and completely sufficient. The waiters are attentive and helpful. One star deducted for the prices. 2 adults 2 children (the children had 1 dish for two). A bit expensive.

By chance we sat there because the street is littered with restaurants. The outside of the restaurant is inviting, the seating comfortable. The waiter noticed us immediately and courteously took us to our seats. Wine, dinner was a very nice experience thanks to the cooks and the waiter. Anything soon again!

We waited two hours for our food and then had to be told that our order had probably been lost on the way to the kitchen😬Worst excuse ever🤣 This restaurant is absolutely not recommended

Very tasty food, very friendly, attentive service

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. Operation could be a little more professional; They are very nice and customer-friendly, but the overview of who has empty their plates and who might still want dessert could be a little better. In short, it is highly recommended to eat here if you are in Bad Zwischenahn.

We had dinner at Kalimera with our Ammerland friends who have been regulars at Kalimera for a long time. We all enjoyed it very much and the service was very good. Very nice facility and very clean. We will be back!

We went there twice in July 2024 and can only recommend the restaurant. Food and wide selection of wines very good, friendly, busy service. Even more beautiful inside than on the terrace.

Excellent food, great service. Only the tables outside are slightly too high. But that's a small price to pay for the quality.

Unfortunately, I only liked the minced steak Souzuki from my mixed plate, our chip shop can do the other dishes better! My wife's bifteki lukewarm and my own creation with cheese paste and tomato sauce, well, the original with feta tastes better! Were outside on the terrace, it was ok. The ambience of the restaurant is very appealing, but what use is the best ambience if the food doesn't taste good!

Great place with very tasty and better food! Typical Greek restaurant. We felt very comfortable! Definitely, definitely recommended!

There were four of us there. We all enjoyed it very much, the service was also good, a very friendly “boss”.

Friendly staff, food was very tasty. Atmosphere was inviting

Unfortunately we received a very unfriendly welcome today. The orders were only taken after about 50 minutes, the drinks only arrived with the food. The meat platter arrived very dry, no side dish, no salad, no decoration, just the dry meat and two lemons (see picture) When we asked for a salad in advance, we only received a very unfriendly answer: “No, you don’t get something like that everywhere.” In addition, the platters were priced individually, meaning every single piece of meat was charged separately, something I've never experienced before.

As always, it was super tasty and the staff was nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 We would love to come back 😊

Great food, friendly service and a feel-good atmosphere.

Food was great and the staff was super friendly so we couldn't complain about anything!!!!

Very good atmosphere and good menu. Staff friendly and accommodating.

We drove across the weekend to Bad Zwischenahn and found this restaurant there. I almost never give 3x5 stars, but everything was just right here. You would have to give 6 stars for the ambience (see pictures). I've never seen a Greek restaurant that looked so great. The food and staff are great, the only thing that could be worked on is the side salad.

The food was good and the service was friendly and competent.

We really enjoyed our stay at the KALIMERA. There were only excellent experiences. The tzatziki tasted totally authentic, the salads were fresh and appealing, and the quality of the meat was very good. The drinks as they should be. A courteous service. All in all WE WILL COME BACK!

Leider, leider. Das schlechteste griechische Essen seit Jahren. Vielleicht war der Koch überfordert oder hatte einfach keine Lust. Der Service war freundlich bemüht, wenig emotional. Das Ambiente eigentlich ganz nett, aber das Essen wirklich nicht erwähnenswert und unterdurchschnittlich. Eine 2. Chance? Wir werden es uns überlegen.

Very good and cozy Greek restaurant in the center of Bad Zwischenahn. Large selection of delicious food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Very nice outdoor spaces in summer.

Vor 3 Jahren war alles super. Service , Kommunikation, Essen alles super. Heute, Feb.24, neues Personal, total unfreundlich. Essen schlecht. Wahrscheinlich ausgerichtet auf Touris die eh nicht wiederkommen. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. Recommended!

We were there without a reservation and the staff showed up and gave us a place even though everything was reserved with great respect

The restaurant has Greek menus, but the ambience has nothing in common with a Greek restaurant, at least from my experience. Nevertheless, we ate quite well and the service was good.

A very nice shop, the food tastes very good and the employees are very nice...

Man muss griechisches essen mögen.

Sehr schönes Lokal mit sehr gutem Service und guter Küche. Yasin hat uns den Abend mit seiner charmanten Art gut unterhalten, sehr nett aber nicht aufdringlich. Wir würden auch 6 Sterne 🌟 vergeben ☺️

Ein sehr schönes Lokal. Sehr netter und zuvorkommender Service. Wir waren zu fünft dort und wurden schnell und ruhig bedient. Zum Essen kann ich nur sagen, das wir selten so gut Griechisch gegessen haben. Wir waren sehr begeistert, sei es von den Vorspeisen oder den Hauptgerichten. Sehr zu empfehlen und nicht das letzte Mal, das wir dort gewesen sind.

Mega leckeres Essen und toller freundlicher Service 👍🏻. So macht man gerne Urlaub ! Letztes Jahr hier gewesen und dieses Jahr wieder , einfach top , erste Adresse zum Essen. Danke Yasin für den Service ☺️. Wir kommen definitiv wieder, versprochen 😅

Super Lecker Essen sowie nette und sehr freundliche Bewirtung durch Yasin. Vielen Dank für den Abend. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Sehr sauber und sehr gepflegt. Beim Essen fehlt mir ein wenig mehr. Einfach mal mehr Mut. Aber ich werde bestimmt noch mal versuchen. Liebe Grüße aus Pattensen. 👍🏻

Ein tolles griechisches Restaurant mit gehobenen Ambiente, überaus freundlichen und schnellen Service und leckeren Speisen. Wir sind hier mit einer Gruppe aus fünf Personen spontan vorbeigekommen (Mittwochs) und haben sofort einen Tisch bekommen (wir saßen im großzügigen Wintergarten - innen war etwas mehr los). Prompte und freundliche Bedienung. Getränke, Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte kamen in rasender Geschwindigkeit. Alles war saftig und gut zubereitet. Einfach lecker. Der Gastraum, bis hin zum WC ist sehr hochwertig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Absolute Empfehlung.

Einfach beste Restaurant in Bad Zwischenahn.

Sehr freundliches Servicepersonal. Essen war super. Ambiente ist perfekt. Modern und gemütlich. Tolle Atmosphäre. Preise sind fair. Danke

Immer wieder spitzen Qualität. Service und Essen einfach spitze.

Spontan auf der Suche nach einem griechischen Restaurant. Und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr angenehmes Ambiente und das Essen war lecker und ausreichend. Kommen gerne wieder.

Große Auswahl, sehr lecker, gute Portionen. Bedienung sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Schöne Einrichtung.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und sehr leckeres Essen!

1 Klasse Restaurant ! Wir waren vollkommen zufrieden. Der Kellner war nett und zuvorkommend und das Essen war einfach nur Mega lecker ! Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Ich hatte Hähnchenfilet mit Reis und Salatbeilage. Das Hähnchen war perfekt und der Reis ebenso. Der Salat war frisch und nicht in Dressing ertränkt.

Schönes Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Service. Das Essen hat noch Luft nach oben, auch angesichts des Preises.

Das Essen war gut und anfänglich die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Als wir uns nach dem Begrüßungsuso erkundigten, der auf der Rechnung stand, ihn aber nicht bekommen hatten wurde es unschön und nicht mehr freundlich. Wir bekamen ihn dann noch aber mit der Bemerkung das er gerade ein Verlustgeschäft gemacht habe weil er gerade Uso verschüttet hätte. Sehr unprofessionell. Für uns ein Grund dieses Restaurant nicht mehr zu besuchen. So geht man nicht mit seinen Gästen um

Ich würde es nicht als richtiges griechisches Lokal bezeichnen, hochpreisig, keine richtigen griechische Gerichte so wie man es von zu Hause kennt. Alles sehr übersichtlich und abgezählt.Wir hatten anschließendnoch Hunger.Es riecht dort nicht einmal nach " Gegrillten " - ich finde einen guten Griechen riecht man förmlich. WIR ZIEHEN ES VOR Im Hotel zu essen , die Preise sind ähnlich aber die Qualität ist deutlich besser. ZU Hause besuchen wir wieder unseren Griechen .

Als Einheimische sind wir, schon a.G. der stilvoll gelungenen Einrichtung, gerne wiederholt in's Kalimera. Freundlicher Service und gutes Essen. Die gegrillte Dorade mit knackigem Gemüse oder Muscheln Saganaki (gibt es so typisch zubereitet selten) haben uns begeistert. Es sind seit dem letzten Besuch einige Monate vergangen. Die Gastronomie im Ort hat sich positiv erweitert. Nun große Enttäuschung: Das Rindersteak schwamm auf dem Teller in einer angeblichen Pfeffersoße (ohne Pfefferkörner, aber vielunverträglichem Maggi aus der Großküche), Steak selbst nicht gewürzt und von mittlerer Qualität. Dafür die Wedges heftig gesalzen! Gyrosteller haben wir überall schon sehr viel besser gegessen. Was ist in der Küche passiert? Das Tzaziki sollte einen Hauch nach Knoblauch schmecken und nicht wässern. Auch hier scheint der große Plastikeimer des Großmarktes nicht weit zu sein. Zu guter Letzt wurde trotz deutlicher Ansage der Nr. aus der Speisekarte das falsche Essen geliefert. Die Metaxasauce mit Pilzen war ok, ein kleiner Pilz darin immerhin und naja - mit viel Käse oberdrauf wird dann wohl der Preis gerechtfertigt. Momentan sind viele Besucher im Ort, das Kalimera voll. Es kommt die Zeit, in der man Stammgäste braucht. Schade, wir wurden leider vergrault. Das Preisniveau erlaubt diese Qualität der Speisen nicht. Viele Gastronomen vergessen, dass Gäste oft selbst sehr gut kochen und es deshalb objektiv beurteilen können.

Griechisches Restaurant in schönem Ambiente direkt gegenüber vom Kurpark. Aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen ist zwar relativ teuer (wir hatten den Gyrosteller für € 17,70), dafür aber von hoher Qualität. Selten so gutes Gyros gegessen. Sehr empfehlenswert, wir kehren bestimmt mal wieder ein.

Waren erst nur auf nen kleinen Absacker dort, jedoch am nächsten Abend auch gegessen. Es war sehr gut, wenn auch etwas hochpreisig.

tolles Restaurant, gutes Essen, lecker Trinken, was will man mehr

Schönes Ambiente mit netter Möbelierung. Reis hätte ein Wenig mehr sein können, aber Essen war sehr lecker. Bedienung war sehr schnell und super nett!

Schnelle Bedienung und gutes Essen

Hat uns heute wieder super gefallen, super Service und lecker Essen, danke👍🍀😋

Service und Ambiente ok, aber ein Scampi-Spieß mit drei kleinen trockenen Scampis und Gemüse dürfte keine 25,90 € kosten!

Schönes griechisches Restaurant. Tolles Ambiente sowohl drinnen als auch draußen. Speisen waren super, Service sehr aufmerksam und das Essen kam nicht zu schnell aber man musste auch nicht großartig lange warten. Preislich etwas höher anzusiedeln, war uns aber bewusst und die Leistung stimmte auch.

Toller Service, freundlich, schnell und lecker. Gerne wieder. 👍🏻

Wir können nur sagen immer wieder gerne.

Essen war sehr lecker, aber der Schluck nach dem Essen fehlte!

Sehr schöne restaurant, freundliche Bedienung, leckeres Essen, moderne Ambiente, kann ich nur empfehlen.
