Restaurant Sokrates in Karlsruhe

Delicious food in a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Good authentic (minus the goat) Greek food, decent prices and nice ambience.

Right place in area to have some greek food. Music missing

Very tasty food, very attentive and friendly service. Our waiter also had a great sense of humor, we had a lovely time catching up with old friends! We were also lucky that we didn't have to wait long for a table. Highly recommended!

👍 in my humble opinion the best Greek restaurant in town (and I have seen them all) Great food freshly made, friendly service that makes you feel at home. Great atmosphere, I really like the lights😃 Their prices aren’t cheap but fair.

Pleasant atmosphere and good Greek food

Wow, what a great restaurant! Delicious souvlaki, well cooked fries and even the salad was really tasty. Everything is neatly served separately in bowls. Friendly service. Recommended!

A great restaurant with amazing Greek food. This place knows what it is doing. An exceptional neighbourhood restaurant with brilliant food and wine and warm, friendly service. We are here twice and the food was really delicious.

Really good Greek restaurant. Lots of good things on the menu and very nice staff.

One of my favorite restaurants!

1 restaurante tipico grego, comida simples mas saborosa, todos os pratos que vieram para a mesa estavam saborosos em especial o misto de peixes e a perna de borrego. Acompanhado pela bela e tipica cerveja da alemanha. O staff é simpatico e profissional. Muito boa opçao na cidade para quem procura algo diferente.

Lovely restaurant. We went there twice while we were on a training course in Karlsruhe. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly.

Very tasty food and very nice service. Prices are also right so what more could you want

Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent food. What more could you want? It was a lovely evening all around. I can only warmly recommend the restaurant.

Great food, nice people, gladly again👍

We were in a larger group, about 30 people and had a long table, Alla Kart The food was simply great. The food came for everyone at the same time so everyone could eat at the same time, the service is just great.

10/10 everything was perfect and great service

I have been here again for many years and have been very satisfied. Actually, if you want to have good Greek food, you should come here more often.

Me and my friends just arrived in Karlsruhe and decided to try this restaurant without any expectations. Turns out it was the best decision that we could’ve made, the people there were so nice, all of them spoke english with us and were very thoughtful and friendly. The food was amazing also, the best food the we’ve eaten so far in town, the desert was also incredible. We’ll be back for sure, would recommend to everyone 10/10

The restaurant is nicely decorated. The food tastes good. Price-performance fits. Unfortunately the staff is not very attentive. We had to wait a very long time for the drinks.

Super delicious food. The portions are rather untypically “small” for a Greek restaurant, which I personally like much better. Unfortunately, the ambience is only 3*, as the noise level is very high for many guests

I was alone in Karlsruhe on business, I felt very comfortable at Socrates, the food was very good, always friendly and attentive. You gave me very good advice when it came to choosing food and drinks! Thanks to the team, again at any time!

A top team, very pleasant, They went to great lengths to understand the dishes in French, Excellent dishes!! Price quality ok 👍 Eyes closed Thanks again

We felt very comfortable here with a large group of 18 people in total. We got a table here at short notice on Saturday evening. We got the food quickly and everyone enjoyed it.

Starter wasn't that tasty. Main course was ok. The gyros were very tasty, the rest of the meat was rather average. The rice was extremely salty and therefore hardly edible. Portion rather steep for the price. Staff very friendly.

I have been a guest for many years. Food is excellent - ambience: modern and cozy. The service is always warm and friendly! Also very suitable for larger groups!

Very pleasant atmosphere, the staff is very friendly and familiar. The portions are plentiful and the price-performance ratio is right

We were at this restaurant on New Year's Eve and were looking forward to delicious Greek food. Unfortunately it was inedible and totally over salted. Neither of us are that sensitive, but this was just too much. The reaction wasn't particularly professional either. "I'll pass it on to the kitchen", that's it. We would have liked a different reaction. Probably our last visit to Socrates. There are other good Greeks in Karlsruhe.

Good portions, friendly staff, a new Greek experience, only to be recommended

Charming Greek with an unusual menu and delicious

The food was very tasty and the prices were good too. The staff was super friendly. I will definitely go there more often.

Very interesting experience with good foot and great welcoming !

Nice atmosphere, great service, good food. We'll be back!

The taste doesn't come close to our favorite Greek place, but it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Service was very attentive.

The best Greek in Karlsruhe! He just feels welcome and has a great meal too! No matter what you order, quality comes! A special compliment to Argi for his service is 11/10 stars. A waiter who recognizes his guests.

Some reviews suggested they recently got a new owner. The food was well cooked, but sadly it missed the herbs and taste which really make it feel like Greek food. The interior was nice, but definitely not a traditional Greek restaurant.

I found the food and service both good. A little more Greek flair would be nice for the “ultimate experience”. :-)

Very good Greek restaurant Food tastes great Price performance fits a very good Greek restaurant in Karlsruhe

We quickly decided to have a Greek dinner. Here we found nice and attentive service, very good food in a pleasant atmosphere. We also liked the dark beer on tap.

Best Greek I know. Great liver and great gyros. Staff always friendly. Reservation recommended on weekends. However, the parking situation is a bit difficult. But with a little searching it should still work.

Personal freundlich und präsent. Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht….Salatsoße Fertigprodukt, Wein zu teuer, Qualität nicht zufriedenstellend,…. Wir werden nicht mehr hingehen.

One of the few Greek restaurants where it's not the size of the portions but the quality that's important! Such authentic dishes are rarely so fine outside of Greece, and the mixed starters are particularly recommended.

Very good service. Came without a reservation and an adequate table was arranged straight away. Food good. Ambience not typically Greek, more modern. 1 star less it was very loud so you couldn't understand your own words. We'll definitely be back. Keep it up......

Nice Greek restaurant, staff very friendly, good food.

Probably the best Greek restaurant in Karlsruhe!!! ❤️

Friendly staff and good quality meat.

Super tasty dishes and wines, very nice staff and you can sit outside very nicely. Someone else came along unexpectedly and a table was immediately set up. That's what I call flexible! We'd love to come back! 😉

Food was great. Staff very friendly. We got something to eat quite late. Really great.

Really delicious food, highly recommended visit, atmosphere and service really great!!!

Fries are very tasty, meat was also good but unfortunately oversalted. Service was very friendly but food came quite late.

Was there for lunch. It tasted very good, it's quick and it's cheap too. Ambiance also great 👍

Very good Greek restaurant, the service was very attentive and the food came very quickly even though the restaurant was busy. The prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food was very high and, in my opinion, appropriate.

Very tasty food. But my bifteki was missing a bit of spice. The service was very friendly.

Very nice place with good food and nice people. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the souvlaki was tasty and the meze was delicious.

Veldig bra! Nydelig utsikt og god mat. Vi bestilte alle forskjellig mat, og alle var fornøyde. Veldig bra service. Kommer gjerne igjen.

There is now a new tenant on the Socrates. I don't know exactly when that came along. But it is not Greek, but apparently a Czech. He serves himself, is a nice guy and has good sayings. At the next table someone had ordered a grilled plate, he came with the tray and announced that something was coming for the vegetarians. I couldn't see it from the distance, I'm guessing it was a plate full of lamb. The food still tastes good, gyros spicy and juicy, bifteki too. But: Seasoned with parsley instead of thyme. It then no longer tastes the way you expect it to. The portion of fries is a disgrace (see photo), tzatziki was like it had been slapped into a bowl from an ice cream scoop and didn't taste like it had been freshly made. In addition to the ubiquitous Hoepfner, Krušovice is served - a Czech pivo, deep black but hardly bitter, nor sweet. Simply round and catchy with the typical malty black beer note. A real plus! When I'm Greek, I usually like to drink Samos - and lots of it. But at 4.20 euros for 0.1 liters, I'll be broke before I even get one in the crown. I had to refrain from doing that. The innkeeper didn't even know where to find Samos on the map. Overall, I ate okay, but I actually expect more and better from Greek. So overall the verdict: Socrates in the future without me.

Super nice and kind waiter, super delicious food!

Delicious food but small portion. Staff was inattentive. No questions asked if you would like anything else.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, prompte Bedienung, Vor- und Hauptspeise nicht zu groß und sehr sehr lecker 😋. Preise sehr human und Speisekarte erschlägt dich nicht. Drinnen sehr gemütlich mit geräumigen Nischen und offener Bar. Komme sehr gerne wieder.

Mini portions for exorbitant prices.

Very good Greek restaurant, it's better to reserve a table. I'd be happy to come back when I'm in Karlsruhe.

Always friendly and good food.

The best Greek food I've had in a long time (I was in Greece 2 weeks ago)

Very varied and delicious cuisine. Greek specialties that you can only find here. Very individually and creatively prepared. Highly recommended. It stands out clearly from the usual Greek restaurants.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Food very good and attractively prepared, delicious dessert platter. Always nice here!

Fast, friendly SERVICE, delicious FOOD, nice ambience inside with a beer garden outside, recommended

This is hands down one of the best Greek restaurants and probably just restaurants in Karlsruhe. The service is friendly, funny (in a very good way) and warm. The food is delicious and depending on the plate, almost elegant. If you have kids, this place is perfect for them. The staff don't seem bothered by little humans running around and tend to interact with them. It is a bit more expensive than your average restaurant in the city but it is a well worth premium to pay. I have been going for years and plan to keep going for many more.

Welcome, very friendly service. Good dishes. Great.

We were there during the week without a reservation. Almost didn't get a place. If there are more than two people, be sure to make a reservation. Service exceptionally good, attentive, unobtrusive. Food tasty, portions not too big. Choice is plentiful. Atmosphere neat, not to everyone's taste, toilets clean. Dogs welcome, immediately given a bowl of water, later a seat cushion for the floor. 😊

Very good meal. Delicious dish and salad. Wine was tasty too. Friendly staff *****

Very small farmer's salad for €10.50 and cheese with mushrooms for €8.50 was also very small. Service very good. Conclusion: overrated Greek. For me the price-performance ratio isn't right at all. And in a student town there should be vegetarian main dishes. They exist in Greece.

HORRIBLE service. Waiters were rude, they were throwing the cup holders on the table when they brought our drinks. We were ordering and he left before we could finish, this happened several times. They make a mistake in our order and they blamed us! I don’t recommend going to this place. Food was not bad, but with that service, there’s no way you can enjoy it.

Very nice ambience, excellent cuisine and excellent price-performance ratio, always worth a visit

The food was delicious, with hearty dishes and an extensive choice of drinks to accompany it. The treatment was very friendly and the service, who spoke perfect English, was very efficient at all times. The atmosphere is pleasant, it is very well decorated and comfortable. The only complicated point is that they do not accept payment by maestro card from other countries (only Mastercard or Visa). I recommend it and I will surely repeat when I return to Karlsruhe.

good food, pretty staff, free ouzo = even preties staff

We had Greek food here. Service 4 stars, food taste 4 stars, portion size 3 stars, mini side salad. High prices therefore only 3 stars here.

Super friendly and good courteous service. Nice ambience and good food

Friendly service and excellent authentic Greek food

I entered the restaurant 20 minutes before opening because I didn’t know the restaurant’s exact opening hours. I was greeted by a very disgruntled waiter or manager and asked which door I entered through. He expressed his dissatisfaction and was rude to me, so I lost the desire to eat in this restaurant. I went to another Greek restaurant 4 minutes away where I was welcome. So I definitely do not recommend Socrates restaurant unless you want to be humiliated!

Delicious gyros in an attractive outdoor area. Good, cheap and long opening hours. Kitchen open until 10 p.m. Unfortunately rare in the post-corona era.

It's simply our favorite restaurant, It's nice that you exist.

My favorite Greek and has been for years. I always enjoy coming here. The only thing I could complain about is that the portions were unfortunately much smaller.

The stuffed calamari is the best

One of my favorite Greeks for decades. Highly recommended. You can enjoy delicious Greek food in a pleasant atmosphere here.

Best Greek in Karlsruhe! The food is always super delicious. For many years! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Everything great. Many thanks to the entire team!

Counts in my opinion one of the best Greeks in Karlsruhe. A long-established restaurant in Karlsruhe with classic Greek dishes. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. I had a very good Giros with French fries and a delicious tsaziki classic.

A nice restaurant with good food and great service. We got a good seat on the weekend evening without a reservation and were served very quickly. Everything came quickly. The food is good but not particularly original. But it tasted very good. We'll definitely come back.

Der mit Sesam und Mohn panierte Feta hätte aromatischer sein können, dann re die für meinen Geschmack recht süße Tomatenmarmelade nicht so dominant.

Das Essen war sehr gut und schnell da. Das Personal läuft oft leer an einem durch trotz aufmerksam machen bemerken diese dich oft nicht. Aber dennoch kommt man gerne nochmals.

Ich bin in das Restaurant reingekommen und würde direkt freundlich empfangen, die Bedienung ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Ich habe bestellt und innerhalb von 10 min wurde das Essen gebracht. Ich kann dieses Restaurant jedem nur ans Herz legen, der auf der Durchreise in Karlsruhe ist, es lohnt sich.

Ein ganz besonderes griechisches Restaurant, die Speisekarte bietet eine große Auswahl und die Bedienung ist immer freundlich und gut gelaunt. Erfreulich ist, dass viele Gerichte ganz anders sind als das, was man üblicherweise beim Griechen erwartet. Die Portionen sind auch nicht so völlig überdimensioniert wie man das manchmal bei griechischen Restaurants erlebt. Unbedingt ausprobieren!

Wir waren am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag da. Als Vorspeise hatten wir Krios Mezes. Tzatziki und Käsecreme hätten etwas würziger sein können. Als Hauptspeise gab es Kalamarika (Tintenfisch). Der war schön zart und geschmacklich sehr gut. Das Erbsenpüree dazu war mehr Deko und schmeckte etwas fad. Unsere zweite Hauptspeise war ein Souvlaki/Gyros Teller. Der war soweit geschmacklich gut. Mit dem Service waren wir zufrieden.

Wir waren zum Mittagessen dort. Der Service war gut, das Essen toll. Kleine Probleme werden unkompliziert gelöst. Gerne wieder.

Super leckeres Essen, sehr freundliches Personal. Gut besucht und entsprechende Geräuschkulisse, darum der Stern Abzug beim Ambiente... Kommen sicher gerne wieder 👍🏻

Foarte bun. Calamarii exceptionali.

Essen sehr lecker, der Service leider nicht sehr aufmerksam, musste gelegentlich auf Wünsche hingewiesen werden

Ein klasse griechisches Restaurant 👏 das Essen ist super lecker 👍 man kann draußen und drinnen sitzen es ist gemütlich und angenehm 😎 nette und freundliche Bedienung 🤗 man sollte lieber vorbestellen da es sehr voll sein kann 🤔

Muy rica la comida , el personal y el local impecable y acogedor. La relación calidad/precio es buena.

Super Service und sehr gutes Essen

Super leckeres Essen! Ambiente sehr gut 👍🏻! Tolle Vorspeise und klasse Hauptgang! Sehr zu empfehlen!
