Restaurant Metaxa in Castrop-Rauxel

I ate there tonight and I'm absolutely thrilled! The food was simply fantastic – fresh, authentic, and prepared with a lot of love. The grilled meat, in particular, was perfect – juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. But what really makes this place special is the team: Janni and Lucky – two absolute originals from Castrop – super warm, attentive, and with a true sense of hospitality! They make you feel like a friend, not a guest. And not to forget: Wassili at the bar – relaxed, friendly, and with a perfect feel for the right ouzo at the right time! 😄 The atmosphere is familiar, warm, and simply makes you feel good. If you love Greek cuisine or just want to spend a really good evening, this is the place for you. I'll definitely be back – as soon as possible! 100% recommendation!

We ate at Metaxa again. As always, we were given a very warm welcome and shown to our tables. The drinks and food were served very quickly. The service staff were very attentive and the food tasted good. I would highly recommend it.**** Now we come to the negative points: like everywhere else, the prices have skyrocketed, the portions seem to be getting smaller and smaller. The filled bifteki is made from pork (not beef like at many other Greek restaurants). The Cretan plate doesn't come with tzatziki (but others do, with an extra charge of €2.20 for a single portion of tzatziki). At other Greek restaurants, you can change the side salad to a Greek salad or farmer's salad at no extra charge (an extra charge of €3.80 here). In addition, debit or credit cards are still not accepted (only EC cards). The owners should reconsider these comments!

Very friendly and competent staff in a lovely atmosphere.

It was my first time here. Delicious 😋 Large portions, and everything fresh and crispy. Very friendly service 😊

One of the best Greek restaurants I know...the service is very friendly and always attentive and quick...simply a great team...hats off!!!!

We love coming here from Bochum. Delicious food and good service! Ouzo to start with and a surprise at the end. Gyros are really juicy. Keep up the good work! I'd love to try the warm Metaxa!

The best Greek restaurant in Castrop-Rauxel. An inventive menu with exemplary service. And, of course, the food is delicious.

We received excellent service, friendly staff, and delicious food. A bit much, so everyone will be satisfied, even with small portions.

Everything was great. We've been here four times with friends and we're always happy to come back! Highly recommended!!!!!

Highly recommended. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The prices were also very reasonable. As for the food: Everything tasted very good. For my taste, everything could have been a bit more spicy. My wife thought it was perfect.

Sehr, sehr Leckeres Essen und gute sowie Nette Bedienung 👍

The quantity of food was good. Unfortunately for me the quality of the souvlaki skewers wasn't particularly good. However, the others enjoyed it very much. Service was also mediocre. Passing large water bottles all over the table and over people isn't exactly the best thing. There are enough parking spaces available.

The food was delicious and you didn't have to wait long. The salads were delicious and the cocktail sauce was a great combo. It was very tasty and I would recommend it. There is one but, though: maybe the portions shouldn't be too big.

I've already visited about 30 countries and have enjoyed a variety of cuisines and restaurants. At Metaxa, you feel like home; the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is pleasant both inside and on the terrace. In addition to changing daily specials, the menu offers many excellent dishes for a variety of tastes. Best restaurant in Germany.

Absolutely fantastic: the food, the service, the friendliness. Thank you for making it possible to get a table without a reservation. Efkaristo. See you next time. Greetings from Cologne

Beautiful place, friendly staff, great food. We'll be back 👍🏼

Super restaurant simply everything

A fantastic Greek restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. We'd love to come back!

Very tasty food, large portions, and attentive, friendly service. The price/performance ratio is absolutely excellent. With the ouzo on the house, it also earns a 5th star. Highly recommended.

What a Greek. Delicious, friendly, superb restaurant. I'd love to come back. The portions are generous, and you'd wish every restaurant had the kind of staff that served their guests.

Always happy, great menu, delicious food, friendly staff.

As always, I was completely satisfied with our stay at Metaxa and am looking forward to the next visit

Big compliment to the entire team. Everyone was very friendly and competent. Special praise also to the chef. The food is always great!

Were there today for the first and last time. Unfortunately the gyro was hard and dry. Unfortunately I didn't have any tzatziki with me either. The red rice honestly didn't taste like anything. I think I would have had a meal like that at our Greek snack bar. I don't have to drive 50 kilometers for this. The restaurant is very nice and the waiter is super friendly.

We spent a lovely evening here. The atmosphere is cozy The food, as always, was very, very tasty Highly recommend the Souvla Feta. The staff always friendly and accommodating. What more could you want - perfect for us 👌 Thanks to the entire team

It was probably too crowded that day, so certain meat dishes weren't cooked yet.

Very good Greek restaurant. Always my pleasure.

It was great food, very filling. Unfortunately it's full and therefore relatively loud. Table conversations were difficult.

Very nice restaurant, good food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again.

It was a lovely evening and delicious 😋

Best service in Castrop. Delicious food and a huge selection.

We can only recommend the restaurant.

I can recommend this restaurant, it is also very busy. Dogs can be taken into this restaurant. Food that you couldn't finish straight away can be packed up and taken home with you if you want.

Our absolute favorite restaurant. Always friendly service and only the highest quality food, prepared to perfection. We've never had anything to complain about here. Thank you for our wonderful evenings.

Highly recommended, the only drawback is that you have to book a table in advance otherwise you can go there for free

Best Greek restaurant in town, or even the region. I only avoid this place on major holidays. Lunch is served in two shifts. To double the revenue. But the customer feels like they're in a mass-processing operation.

Food very bland - service very businesslike and clumsy... It was already significantly better

The selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes could be larger. Otherwise, service, ambience and price-performance ratio are top!

Super delicious food, nice staff would be happy to come back

Brilliant as always. Keep it up...

Simply super presentation super service in one word Super

Nice location, good service and good food. Thank you and see you next time!

This was our second time there and now it was even better. The food, the service and the ambience are great.

Cozy restaurant with good, fast and attentive service (the children at the table were greeted with a “children’s ouzo” to toast with the adults. The food was very, very tasty, the portions were very generous, so that we were able to eat the grill plate for two again at home the next day. We will be very happy to come back! We definitely recommend a reservation on the weekend!

Classic but good Greek. Lots of choice of food, you could happily reduce it. Price-performance is definitely okay. Unfortunately my dish didn't come with tzatziki and then I had to pay an extra €5 for a mini plate of tzatziki, which I think is far too much, especially for a Greek restaurant where that's the thing...

A highly recommended restaurant... Super nice, nice waiters...

I can highly recommend it. Food was damn good.

Went to the Metaxa restaurant for the first time today and have to say we were very impressed. Food super tasty. Service top. And the ambience is also cozy and modernly furnished. Our tribe will probably be Greek. 👌🏻😊

Great restaurant with good food - and plenty of ouzo 😉. Parking spaces are a bit rare but no problem on the nearby main road.

What can I say? Really very tasty. The service is very courteous and polite. The food was extremely tasty. The biftki and the gyros are really very tasty. Totally juicy and good! We wanted to go there twice, but everything was full. Good for the hosts, bad for us. If we're in the corner again, we'll definitely stop by.

The food was very tasty. The service was good. I would go there again

The restaurant is quite inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior is very well designed and the layout of the dining rooms is simply perfect. The highlight is the food and the friendliness of the service staff. Therefore, the rating without deductions is always 5 stars. Please keep it up in 2025.

Price/performance are completely ok. The employees are polite, but we mean something different by friendly. Jumping out of your pants when asked about the invoice is not okay. Conclusion: unfortunately nothing has changed, even 😃 needs to be learned.

As always: - Service super friendly - The food was just perfect

Great food. Deliciously seasoned, soft meat, even the bifteki practically falls apart on its own. We were there today for the first time based on a recommendation and certainly not the last time. All tables were occupied. Nothing possible without reservation. We sat in the winter garden. The service was very attentive, not intrusive. Friendly and calm despite the stress. In short: everything is great

Great food without a long wait. Service perfect. Highly recommended.

Very tasty and very clean restaurant Recommended by a good eater, always happy.

Unfortunately, the tone when making a reservation request is quite arrogant. Probably can't handle the stress over the holidays. But you should remember that without reservations and guests, there is no sales.

Great restaurant with lots of great and very tasty dishes and nice staff and a nice ambience

Very good restaurant, wonderful ambience, the portions are very good and more than fair to the price, The service was very courteous and attentive, very child-friendly and really nice. You can also stop here regularly, We drove 100 km and it's worth it

Very nice and attentive service. delicious food!

A nice restaurant, very good food and courteous service. Reservation is recommended! We really enjoy going there.

Very tasty food and friendly staff. I didn't expect to find such a good restaurant in Castrop-Rauxel.

If you want to eat delicious food, you have to go here.

Super tasty, large portions, reasonable price, great service

A nice restaurant, a little noisy because there is a lot of traffic and there are a lot of people eating there. The service is great and very polite. The food is great and the portions aren't exactly small. I can see that if you don't have a problem it might be a bit louder and if you're not eating like a sparrow :) Price performance is definitely very good.

2024 I have revised my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. We were there yesterday and sat in the large main room, which is much more comfortable than the winter garden, despite the high noise level. The food was really great. The sea bream was very seasoned and really tasty and there was a chocolate cake for dessert. The service was attentive and friendly, and the drinks we ordered always came quickly. This time I have nothing to complain about, it was a nice evening. 2023 The food was actually quite good, although the prawns were relatively tasteless. Unfortunately, I found the atmosphere uncomfortable because it was very loud and we had four different waiters, which seemed very impersonal. On the positive side, there was an ouzo on the house before and after the meal. The price-performance ratio was ok, but I have to say that I didn't find it as special as I had heard before.

Tasty. A recommended Greek restaurant with good cuisine and nice service.

There is nothing to complain about here. Everything is great. Very happy again.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Short to reasonable waiting times for food and drink requests are fulfilled very quickly. Above-average price/performance ratio in terms of portion sizes and, more importantly, the quality of the food. My wife only orders lamb here apart from the Mediterranean travel destinations! We have been guests here more or less regularly for many years and have never been disappointed. For us the best Greek restaurant in the area. Many regular customers speak for themselves. A clear recommendation. Reservations are recommended, we are always surprised at how busy the restaurant is, even on days when there is nothing going on elsewhere. We are already looking forward to the next culinary short vacation!

Great evening, very good food, nice service. 👍

Went there with our gang and everyone was very happy. Delighted with the menu selection on the menu. If you don't find anything here, it's your own fault. The service was also very friendly and attentive. The only criticism we can make is that it was quite loud. Maybe it was because we had a table near the entrance and the restaurant is very busy. We definitely weren't there for the last time, because for us it was the best Greek restaurant we visited. 👌😋

The food was, as always, excellent, the service good, typical Greek atmosphere, I always like to come back

Very friendly staff. Very tasty food, it's really great there. Have been regular guests there for years

Top restaurant, can only recommend it. Food top, service top staff very friendly. As already mentioned, I can only recommend it.👍

We visited the restaurant with 10 people. Food, service and ambience really great. The only small thing was that the food wasn't ours after we packed it.

Fast service, delicious food, good price-performance ratio

Unfortunately it's always very loud because it's always full!! Still happy again and again

Sunday evening totally full and extremely noisy. It's not particularly comfortable when you have to shout at each other. Food great👍

Great restaurant and great food, the staff is courteous!!

Perfect, courteous service despite the restaurant being full. Very good food.

We always enjoy coming here. Very good, friendly and attentive service. The price-performance ratio is excellent. The food is very good, the portions are well sized. Depending on where you sit, it can be relatively loud when it is busy. But that's the only thing worth noting. Absolutely recommended.

Super delicious food, nice staff...

Really delicious food. Everything great. Super friendly.

Very good! Greetings from Holland

An absolute guarantee in Castrop-Rauxel. This restaurant has been with me since I was a teenager and its quality remains unrivaled in Castrop. Always my pleasure!

Was there for the first time today and I have to say compliments to the friendly and attentive staff. The food was simply delicious 😋 I would love to come back.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Every time we go there the food tastes great. The service is great and the ambience is beautiful

Tip Top Thursday again. It was really a nice evening with very good food and a nice atmosphere.

Great restaurant team. Food as always very tasty and plentiful. We come here more often because the food is so varied. You can only say thank you to the team for great memories when it's us.

Always good food in a nice atmosphere.

Very tasty food, staff very friendly. Top!

Even without a reservation we got a table, the restaurant was full, The food was super delicious 😋

Overall, the lamb plate tasted good. The salad with a kind of Texas dressing, however, was a little bland. The main course was served about 2 minutes after the salad. The service could have been a little more attentive. Overall, the prices are rather high compared to other Greek restaurants

Very nice service, the food was very, very good.

With good friends 🥰 great service, super friendly and just great. The food is great in terms of taste as well as quality.

Delicious food and very nice service. Can only be recommended

Highly recommended. Great service friendly staff and the food was delicious. We will come back. It's best to reserve a table as the restaurant was very busy.

One of the best Greek restaurants we know. We have been eating there regularly for many years. The restaurant is cozy and tastefully furnished and very well maintained, nice outdoor area for warm days. The staff is always very attentive and friendly, even when it is very busy. Very tasty food with a large selection, good portions and top quality. We always enjoy being there. If you want to spend a nice evening, Metaxa is the right place for you!
