Restaurant Palios in Hannover

WOW! A fantastic restaurant with very friendly and attentive service. The food is excellent. You can create your own salad from the buffet – superb! All the salads are homemade and taste amazing. This is how a restaurant should be! Definitely worth trying.

The food was delicious, as always. The service was friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed an ouzo. We always feel very comfortable here.

Gyros & fries, delicious and fast.

Everything was very satisfactory! We'd love to come back!

Superb restaurant! My partner and I came here on Thursday, November 13th, and it was delicious. The servers were fantastic, and the food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and our taste buds were in heaven. Thank you again! We highly recommend this place.

Had a delicious lunch. Salad buffet, you could help yourself to whatever you wanted.

Spontaneous visit. Very friendly staff. Very pleasant atmosphere. A perfect 10! The food was perfect, both visually and in terms of taste. A clear 5 stars 🌟

The food was, as always, absolutely delicious.

Delicious food and very fast and friendly service! Prices are also very fair. Definitely recommended.

A bit tight, difficult to park but great food.

It's a really great and beautiful restaurant. The food is also very good :)

We were recommended this restaurant by friends – what can I say – it's really great. We went there spontaneously. The waiter brought us to our table, and Even though we were sitting in the conservatory, the atmosphere was fantastic. Not even 5 minutes later, another waiter came by to take our drinks and ask if we could decide on something to eat or if we needed more time. Since we knew what we wanted, we ordered right away. He showed us where the salad buffet was and said he'd bring us drinks and ouzo on the house right away. He also came back to the table 5 minutes later. The salad selection was good, and the yogurt sauce was extremely tasty. Our food arrived 10-15 minutes later, hot and delicious. After dinner, we were asked about dessert, dessert, and coffee, and we were offered another ouzo on the house, but we declined. I think the value for money is good, as is the service and the ambiance. You could hear quiet music, but it wasn't blasted like in some restaurants. We will definitely eat here again.

Always satisfied. In addition to the classic Greek dishes, the diverse salad bar stands out. The staff are friendly and accommodating, even when the place is busy on weekends. Always happy to return!

Absolutely delicious! We often ate at the family restaurant in Hodenhagen back then, and we were craving it again now. Mrs. Palios still cooks just as well. We'll be back.

Very tasty, perfect portions, and reasonably priced. The food came quickly, and it was quite quiet but still busy. Highly recommended. Even in cold temperatures, you can sit in the conservatory because the table is heated.

If I could, I would give it 10 stars. The staff is super friendly, the food is excellent, and the salad buffet has something for everyone. The whole atmosphere is simply fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Very tasty, friendly service, everything was great

Super cute little cafe. Everything is very fresh. And everyone is very friendly.

Delicious food. Salad buffet. It can get stressful outside at the traffic lights. Personally, there are too many people watching my food. Around the corner or under the roof, though, is acceptable. Very busy, always something going on here.

Yesterday, we ordered a large platter for 5 people for pickup from our Greek restaurant (€160). Upon pickup, we discovered that our order had simply been forgotten. Instead of dealing with the situation openly, they quickly improvised. The result was disappointing: some of the dishes were missing, some of the meat was raw, and the portions did not match the price or the description at all. When I raised this issue with them, I received the response: "Then you should go somewhere else to eat." – a completely unprofessional and disrespectful response. Then the quality, service, and customer friendliness have declined significantly. This place is no longer for us, and we will go elsewhere in the future.

Highly recommended: friendly staff, great salad buffet, delicious food, and either ouzo or a small dessert to finish. We were very satisfied.

I was there for the first time today. Parking was quite easy, quite relaxed for Hanover. The staff was very quick and there were plenty of them. The drinks took less than two minutes to arrive. The food was delicious and the portion size was good value for money. Very clean and nicely decorated. The only downside: it's so big that it's a bit hectic and loud for a restaurant. But we'll be back and give it 5 out of 5 stars overall ✌🏼

We come here often with our family and really enjoy it. The staff is always friendly, thank you.

The food here is delicious, served in a lovely setting. The waiters and owner are very friendly and attentive. This time, I offered my guests a buffet at home. All the delicious dishes were served warm in chafing dishes and very tastefully presented. Everything went perfectly, and the food was ready for pickup on time. Our guests were thrilled! We highly recommend Palios, both in the restaurant and as a buffet at home. We'd love to come back and will definitely order the next buffet soon.

Very good Greek restaurant. My Greek colleague recommended it to me as authentic, and we were not disappointed. The food is very good and the staff is friendly. Special requests are no problem and are accommodated. We would be happy to come back here.

Great fresh products at attractive and fair prices, all with great service 💪🏻

Very nice restaurant, service on the ball, you can also sit outside, everything was great

Our regular Greek restaurant! We go here regularly and always enjoy coming back. In addition to the classic platters and grilled dishes, there are also seasonal specials. The fact that the restaurant is usually very busy speaks for itself, but it can also make it quite hectic at times. The food is always delicious, and the salad buffet is very generous. The service is always friendly and professional. The only criticism: once you've finished eating, it's a bit difficult to get a member of staff to order another round of drinks or bring the bill. The ouzo is always on the house, of course. Everything always goes smoothly with pickup orders, too!

We visited the restaurant on a Friday evening and were overall very satisfied. We would particularly like to highlight the extremely friendly and attentive service – we were greeted with a handshake as soon as we entered the restaurant, which is truly rare these days and leaves a very personal impression. The entire staff was always present, very polite, and absolutely customer-oriented. Despite a full house, everything ran smoothly and quickly – a real compliment to the team! The food was good and as you would expect from a classic Greek restaurant. The fish platter was okay, with small pieces of fish, tasty but nothing particularly special. My husband's meat skewers were also tasty, albeit a bit dry – still perfectly fine. We particularly enjoyed the large selection at the salad buffet, which was fresh and varied. A very nice gesture: a glass of ouzo to welcome us and another one as we left – on the house. Little things like that leave a positive impression. The restaurant itself is spacious, the atmosphere pleasant. Despite the full house, it wasn't hectic, which was certainly due in part to the good organization. And an extra bonus: dogs are welcome, which we always find very appealing. Overall, we give it 4 out of 5 stars – not because anything was bad, but because the food, while good, was nothing exceptional. Nevertheless: a very nice evening, and we'd love to come back!

Update 2025: The quality no longer quite matches the price; we weren't satisfied the last few times. The fries have been dry for some time now, even though they were freshly made, and the gyro regularly has gristle/tendons. I don't know what's suddenly going on (for almost a year now). It's a real shame; we've been there for every birthday party and regularly visited there before. In short: the best Greek restaurant for miles around! Everything is always to our complete satisfaction, everyone is super friendly, and the food is always excellent. We enjoy eating there.

Delicious food. You can sit outside in a sheltered area. Friendly service.

Mega, simply mega. The place is rightfully very busy. Everything was so delicious and so good. The service was great. Friendly, nice, and accommodating. The garlic sauce was amazing. The fries were also very good. The gyro was fantastic. And the dessert was wow.

The restaurant is highly recommended. The friendly staff, the salad buffet, and the well-prepared food all earn us plus points, and we'll be happy to go back.

A wonderful place! Great atmosphere and incredible service, I loved everything!

Great food, nice place, friendly staff

Savory and delicious. A must-see.

Very good food and good treatment

Grecque restaurant, good food and lovely atmosphere and nice ambience

I celebrated my 66th birthday today. The fact that I had a walker was taken into account, and the service was attentive and exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food arrived quickly, was hot, was complete, and was excellently presented. The flavors were wonderful; the silence at the table was telling. The portions were very generous; you can opt for a smaller portion if possible. Substitutions are also no problem. A baked potato instead of fries and rice. I received a table fireworks display with my meal and a small jar of honey as a farewell gift. Very, very thoughtful, and I was very pleased. I can 100% recommend the restaurant. Thank you to the entire team.

Not recommended! Well, if you've already eaten at a decent Greek restaurant, don't come here. The gyros weren't even cooked properly. Service was abysmal. Fallen salad lay on the terrace the entire evening.

The food was very good, and the service was very friendly. I'd be happy to come back. However, I was bothered by the fact that the prices on the menu on the website weren't up to date.

Best Greek restaurant in Germany. Really.

Unfortunately, I have to give it one star. I ordered a gyros on June 8, 2025, around 4:00 PM to go, and there was no receipt either. I pointed out that I didn't want fries and rice, just gyros with onions and lettuce, nicely browned and crispy. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The gyros had no roasted flavor (it was steamed), and it also tasted bland. That's why I don't understand the reviews.

Authentic Greek cuisine with friendly service The Palios restaurant in Hannover-Bothfeld offers an excellent selection of Mediterranean specialties. The menu includes a variety of dishes, including meat platters from the lava stone grill, fresh fish, and vegetarian options. Of particular note is the fresh and varied salad buffet, which is offered with many dishes. The service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is inviting and cozy. Advance reservations are recommended, as the restaurant is particularly busy on weekends.

Despite some massive price increases, for example on the lunch menu, the food is worth a visit. Friendly service and the obligatory free ouzo round out the positive impression.

We went there on a Friday evening without a reservation. They immediately looked for a table for us. After a short time, the place was almost full. The service was simply super friendly and attentive. The salad buffet is delicious, and there was always plenty of everything. Our gyro was perfect. There's only one negative point: unfortunately, we live over 500 km away. If we're ever in Hanover again, we'll definitely come back.

The restaurant has a surrounding winter garden with wonderfully heated tables and is known for its side dish/salad buffet. This is very extensive, but also quite oily. There's tuna, corn, salad, olives, pasta, potatoes, couscous, beans, and various other vegetables. I had the lunch special M03 with gyro (unfortunately rather fatty), minced steak (could have been seasoned more), and liver (okay). The tomato rice was very good. Overall, I left satisfied, and the melon was a great addition. I would come back.

Everything is very good. Quality is maintained for years, but it also has its price. Highly recommended.

We've been there four times in the last few years and thought we'd give the restaurant one last chance... But no, nothing has changed. Everything was like in a canteen. The salad buffet was completely dismantled. The meat didn't taste good either. So it was really the last time for me.

I've eaten with them 4 times in the last 6 weeks. That should be enough for an opinion. Service Kraft Essen was great, you absolutely deserve 5 stars.

Breakfast and coffee were good but the service staff seemed a bit scattered and a bit intrusive. You don't have to ask again and again or say hello three times. But breakfast, ambience, location and coffee are good. We'll be back, but the young man can calm down a little ;)

The starter platter was very oily/greasy. Good salad buffet, generally tasty, but for me there are better Greeks

A very nicely decorated restaurant. The service is very courteous and nice. The food is to die for. I am very excited. We will definitely come back. Thank you very much.

We have known the restaurant since it opened 12 years ago, thank God nothing has changed. Friendly staff and excellent food like back then. It's great to have you on our side.

I celebrated my birthday in the restaurant, a very nice atmosphere, very nice staff and very tasty food. We are so grateful and satisfied that we will come again at any time.

The taste of the food has deteriorated. Sat outside, very cramped and not recommended with 5 people. In addition, our reservation was forgotten.

If you love Greek cuisine, I recommend eating at Palios. I would particularly like to highlight the salad buffet!!!

Top quality, courteous staff, restaurant with typical Greek flair. Portion size perfect, especially since you can also help yourself to a rich and varied salad buffet. We'll definitely be back!

We have eaten at this restaurant several times and have also ordered to be picked up. The food was otherwise always very tasty and deliciously seasoned. This time, however, in dish number 51, the fries were shriveled, dry and unseasoned, the rice was watery and not seasoned; The Giros was also shaky and tasteless, the calamari was ok, but not a hit either. When asked whether the very loud and annoying music could be turned down a little, the operator replied that this was not possible (no control on the system???) Was it all due to the high number of visitors??? Otherwise service was very friendly. We'll probably try again at some point.

Very tasty food including a salad buffet, friendly service, always happy

A very good restaurant where the food is served at a fair price. We ordered takeaway and even got a free ouzo. Along with our ordered food, we also received a small bottle of wine and a small dessert. Truly fantastic; something like that is rare these days. And even though the restaurant was busy, picking up the food was quick; the staff were friendly, and the food was warm. Definitely recommended.

Always good. Very friendly staff. The food is delicious and what I think is great is that you can get almost every dish in a small portion. There's also lunch, which only a few restaurants now offer because it's supposedly not worth it... the Palios is always packed at lunchtime... I can only recommend it! 👍

Very nice staff, good food, cozy atmosphere.

★★★★★ Palios is an absolute must for fans of Greek cuisine! The gyros are simply outstanding – perfectly seasoned, crispy and juicy at the same time. Another highlight is the large salad buffet, which is included with the meal and offers a great selection of fresh, delicious side dishes. Added to this is the friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Price-performance is top here! I'll definitely come back.

Super delicious food, large selection. Prices okay. Nice service and one or two ouzos are also available from the house.

Das Restaurant war sehr gut besucht und ich war auch nicht das erste Mal dort, aber diesmal war meine Enttäuschung sehr groß…Ich habe eine normale Portion Gyros bestellt, was eigentlich bei jedem Griechen ein gewisses Niveau haben sollte…heute war das Beste aber das Bier und der Ouzo…sehr schade ☹️

Yes, we always enjoyed eating there after the ABF. The day and evening were great

We had a wonderful experience as a family at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and reminded me of the flavors from my culture since I am Turkish. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Plus, everyone speaks English, which makes communication easy. I highly recommend here!

The food is excellent and varied. We were served very friendly and competently.

Best Greek restaurant in Hanover. Meat quality excellent. Fish is cooked to perfection. Lots of choice at the salad bar. Service very fast and always friendly

A little trip to Greece🌅 Very tasty food, attentive and friendly staff. It was a very nice evening!

Delicious food and drink, nice service

We've been impressed with the good quality of the meat so far. The meat skewers in particular were tender and simply delicious. Gyros pieces large, crispy and juicy. On the last few visits, the skewer in particular was dry, and the gyros, which were still good, no longer seemed to taste so perfect. When it comes to calamari, it is important that they are fried to perfection. Only then will they be as tender as butter. Hopefully the quality will improve again.

Very tasty food and salad to take yourself, great selection

Das Restaurant Palios in Hannover-Bothfeld bietet eine geschmackvolle Einrichtung, jedoch mit enger Bestuhlung und einem Salatbuffet direkt am Eingang. Die Vorspeisen, wie das Tsatsiki (6,5 €) und die gegrillten Peperoni (6,9 €), sind solide, wobei letztere geschmacklich überzeugen, aber optisch etwas kräftigere Grillspuren vertragen könnten. Bei den Hauptspeisen punktet das Bifteki (19,5 €) mit Geschmack und dünn gehobelten rohen Zwiebeln, während das Gyros (16,9 €) teilweise nicht knusprig war. Der Service ist hier freundlich und schnell. Das bezahlen ist hier mit fast allen Karten möglich, das Trinkgeld wird aber nur Bar akzeptiert! Fazit: Ein guter Nachbarschaftsgrieche mit authentischem Flair und solider Küche. Insgesamt verdient das Palios gute 4 Sterne und ist definitiv einen Besuch wert!

Very tasty, good service and large portion

We went there for the first time today based on a recommendation and what can I say... definitely not the last time. Super friendly and attentive staff in a great atmosphere.. The food was all super fresh and delicious.. An absolute feel-good package...🤗🤗

Dad said, go there, they have delicious food. No sooner said than done, called, reserved a table, that's absolutely necessary, the chance that you might not get a seat is relatively high. (When we arrived at 1230 the restaurant was already busy, when we left around 1430 it was still very busy) The service was very friendly, courteous and attentive, but not intrusive. There was salad from the buffet, fresh and very appealing, you were spoiled for choice, everything was somehow deliciously prepared. The dishes were professionally and well prepared. The meat was on point, juicy but still crispy. The portions were decent but not overpowering, we didn't finish ours. The homemade tiramisu was top notch and extremely tasty. My conclusion as a chef: the kitchen can really do something! The prices are average, the overall price/performance level in the restaurant is really good. We will definitely eat there again, for us it was by far the best Mediterranean cuisine we have had in a long time.

We have been to the Palios many times. This time we were disappointed. The waitress came when we were barely seated and wanted to take the order. We asked for about time. A short time later she stood there again and left not gone, even though we still looked at the map. It's almost a necessity. The fries were dry and the meat was very poor quality. The store wasn't full. We were looking forward to the evening, but after an hour we headed home disappointed. We definitely won't be back that quickly.

Still one of the best Greeks in Hanover. Attentive and very friendly service. Prices are okay considering the quality of the food. I love the salad buffet We drive 50 km to eat there. I think that says it all

The restaurant in the Bothfeld development area offers a lot of tables both inside and in the covered outdoor area for its size. The decoration is appropriately Greek. The menu is very well filled (numbers 48-52 are recommended) and offers a choice for everyone. The staff is friendly and regularly checks the guests' well-being and clears plates if necessary. The prices are in the middle range but they also offer decent portions. The waiting time for a group of 10 people is about 25 minutes. I recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is very busy. I'd love to come back.

Very nice staff, the lamb shank was extremely tasty, tender and the meat fell off the bone. Perfect, only recommended.

Highly recommended, the food is beautifully prepared, we enjoyed it very much, a nice atmosphere and the hospitality was very hospitable

Excellent service, super delicious food, nice atmosphere! We were here with the family for the first time and felt very comfortable. Very attentive, warm service and great food! The salad buffet is outstanding - definitely try it out. This will be our favorite place for authentic Greek food.

Rarely have I had such delicious gyros. Also a good combination gyros with metaxa sauce, but not gratinated.

This time we had our sights set on a Greek restaurant and decided on Palios. Well located and plenty of parking spaces to be found. The restaurant itself is very comfortable and there are enough seats if you are more than 3 people, make a reservation. Everyone would have different dishes with starters as well as drinks. Waiting time was absolutely ok because everyone really knows their job there and has their area of ​​responsibility. There's a Greek on a different level, i.e. freshness, quality and a delight for the palate at a humane price. This family restaurant has been around for a long time and is absolutely true restaurateurs in every respect. You have captured me with everything. All I can tell you is let your senses experience a true taste experience.

Very nice restaurant with great staff. Catered to all wishes. Fresh ingredients at an OK price. It was a lovely evening! Highly recommended.

Juice shop. Unfriendly service, no ventilation and several insects on the tables

It was wonderful. There were two of us in the Testaurant and we were given a table without a reservation. The staff very friendly and accommodating. The Bifteki is one of the best I've ever had. We'll be back.

Everything is great! Delicious! Gladly again

Delicious and friendly service. Would love to come back.

The salad buffet looked good. However, the coleslaw was sweetened!!! Not good. Never experienced a Greek before. Meat unseasoned. Too bad.

We had a very nice evening with delicious food, the starter plate alone was a hit. We had great wines with the meal. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The service was very attentive. We will definitely see each other again. Thank you for the lovely evening. Kind regards, Dirk

Exceptionally good Greek restaurant! We spontaneously decided to go out for dinner on Saturday. It was still possible to reserve a table by telephone 2.5 hours in advance. A table was free for us at the agreed time, even though the restaurant was full to the last seat. We were warmly greeted by the boss with a handshake. We initially ordered a mixed appetizer plate and a starter plate. It was served very quickly and we enjoyed it very, very much. The main course that followed was even better 🙂 We ordered gratinated moussaka, pork fillet stuffed with feta and the Nikoletta platter. It was so delicious 😋 The meat was really good and tender. The salads from the self-service counter also tasted very good. For dessert there was tiramisu. All in all, the kitchen did a really good job. The service was also great. The service staff were very friendly, attentive, quick and perfectly organized. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. Even though the restaurant was completely full and the seating was very close together, we felt very comfortable and not disturbed at all. It was really a great performance from the Palio team! We had a very nice evening and will definitely be back soon 🙂

Nice atmosphere with friendly service and good quality products

Nice restaurant, prices are acceptable and the food was good.

The food was delicious and the staff friendly. I found the portion to be a bit small for the price.

It was very tasty because you didn't have to wait long and the service was very good and I felt very welcome

Generally good, they were very busy when we dined here, and unfortunately we received some very undercooked fish.

Very attentive and very friendly service, delicious food...tasty prepared and a nice atmosphere...we felt very comfortable
