Taverna Klassikos in Leipzig

At first I thought it would be a restaurant in a remote commercial area... but whatever, I'll try it. The atmosphere is very inviting. There is a large smoking winter garden. This takes you into the restaurant. The staff is consistently very friendly and not intrusive. A place is quickly found. With the drink order (red house wine) there is an obligatory ouzo. A suitable meal can also be found quickly. It will be the Corfu record. I have to admit, this was the best Greek food I've had so far. Gyros and Suvlaki juicy and pleasantly seasoned. Only the steak was a bit dry. The Greek potatoes with a light garlic sauce were amazing. When we paid we got another ouzo on the house. All around: The restaurant is highly recommended.

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, as a chef (who also worked in Cyprus for a year) I have to get something off my chest. Simply raising prices and bringing a lower level of quality to the table is not fair to the customer. But first things first. When I entered I was greeted warmly and seated at an uncovered table. I didn't get a napkin folded in place and a knife and fork neatly laid out, as seen at the rest of the tables. No, I got a Paulaner beer garden bag with a thin napkin and a knife and fork inside. Plus the menu. I then chose a gyro with fries and salad. This salad looked good and even tasted good. On closer inspection it was 80% iceberg lettuce, 1 slice of cucumber and 1 tomato wedge. Add a piece of sheep's cheese and 1 olive in the middle. But then came the gyro plate. The tzatziki was placed in a mini bowl using a small ice cream ball cutter and garnished with an oversized slice of cucumber. There was a UFO floating in the middle of the plate?! Or what was the chef thinking with that slice of tomato? 🤔 There were lots of onion strips on the gyro. I quickly realized why. The meat was dry! NEVER freshly cut from a skewer. I would charitably say that it was kept warm in a bainmarie. Unfortunately it wasn't good in terms of taste either. The meat was fine-grained and tasted like... it couldn't be defined. When the service person came and asked if everything was OK, I tried to politely point out that the meat wasn't that good and was dry. The answer was a blast: “But the fries are good?” And went away again. From that moment on, someone else served me 🤔 My conclusion: As a business guest, I get around a lot. This was by far the worst dish I have eaten in the nation in the last 4 years. I know that you can't have a good meal for €10, but paying €25 with one drink and a tip and having such a negative experience is simply cheeky. There should be massive improvements here, especially with the one guest who would stay there the whole evening. Not just, as seen live, seeing the regular guest as “the” guest. And sometimes it helps to give the guest an ouzo if he/she has a verifiable complaint about something 😉 ...

Great food, great service, great service Kedi best man! Thanks for your efforts!

Great location, very friendly service. Even without a reservation it wasn't a problem. The salad came promptly and the food came surprisingly quickly after I had eaten the salad. The gyros were on point, crispy but not dry, the potatoes were to die for. The portions are very generous, you get something for your money! We went again with my colleagues and were served quickly and friendly the second time. The food was also delicious. The Corfu platter was massive, with lots of delicious meat. Absolutely top value for money!

I'm actually more than pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! After a long day at work, I just wanted to spend the night in my hotel room. I walked into the restaurant without any expectations and was more than pleasantly surprised. The waiters were very attentive, friendly, and unobtrusive. You could definitely tell that every waiter I encountered there was a heartfelt host. The food was 5 stars plus! Even though I didn't say it out of shyness, you made my evening more than enjoyable. And finally, the most important question: Would I come back? YES, definitely!!

Rip off! Meat quality is really bad, cheap industrial meat that people usually pay a lot less elsewhere. I do not understand how people can be blindly blindly and beautiful ambient and spend so much money on such a bad unhealthy food. Doner kebab is called rotisserie because the law requires it to be called meat if it isn't meat. But I ordered Hänschen Brust from Grill, which only has a name in common with chicken meat. People accept your request in free shopping at Lidl for the cheapest Hänschen meat and roasting it on the grill will be 10 times better than what you get served here for 20+ euros. It's just a shame to sell such rubbish at such a high price. The waiter didn't know what I was talking about and looked at me as if there was something wrong with me. Maybe he doesn't know anything about food, but the owner of the store definitely understands what I mean...he knows where he makes big money. I worked as a chef in a 4 star hotel for 4 years. I chose this shop because of the higher prices in the hope that it was the right Hänschen meat. But no, that was industrially pressed mass that probably only had a small amount of chicken meat in it. You can even cut it with a fork. If you don't believe it, please try cutting Hänschen's breast with a fork at home. I paid, it's still outrageous that they asked for money. Normally I don't pay for something like that and I walk out. But since it was late, I ate a bit and paid and didn't want to cause any stress. The waiter is so clueless and is probably blinded by the ambient and the belief that they are great. The boss is definitely a professional. He has to be able to package the shot nicely and sell it at a high price. It's a shame, nice store, if the quality gets better then there would definitely be more guests. There aren't that many people who are stupid and buy fog.

Another successful evening at the best Greek restaurant in town. Greeted personally by the chef with a handshake and served today in fine, elegant table service by our waiter Kedi. Food and drink, as well as the beautiful location, are particularly worth mentioning.

Thank you for this lovely evening with you. For me you are the best Greek in town. Welcoming with a handshake even from the boss, great service at the table (today from Kedi) and incredibly delicious food. We'll definitely see each other again soon.

Very nice restaurant that we have visited several times.

Were in Leipzig because of an invitation to the trade fair and discovered the Taverna Klassikos by chance. Very satisfied all around. Very friendly and fast service and the food was very good 👍. Price performance top.

Friendly, nice, delicious 😋 Can only be recommended 👌

We are very disappointed, this was our first and most likely last visit. I had pork fillet with metaxa sauce and fries.... Carelessly slapped on it, overpriced, far too little, really small portion... (too bad, no photo taken) Raspberry soda just as expensive as a beer? 4.50€ what's going on?? But the worst thing was that the service didn't care about us. We were a table of 12 and had to beg to be served!! Drinks were served after 1 hour We had reservations!!! They were very friendly to us...when they were there. The restaurant was full, but we sat centrally and could watch people walk past us the whole time... We tried in vain to make eye contact and almost had to stand in their way. We've never experienced anything like this before. We felt ignored and unwelcome! Too bad...

We had a lovely evening, great service and very good food. I'd love to come back. 👍🏻

We eat here regularly when we work at the trade fair in Leipzig and are more than satisfied every year. From Quzo as an appetizer before a meal, to numerous excellent starters, to main courses where the chef definitely means it to you. The staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful. The front terrace is wonderfully heated even in winter, so you can enjoy a nightcap with a cigarette if necessary. SO highly recommended stop by.

Good food, ouzo and house salad, as it should be. Good plate of food for a normal price! Friendly service and a good atmosphere!

So the ambience was good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, my meal wasn't that great, the meat was far too dry. I'm sorry .

Good and rich food. Everyone was more than full.

Very good food in a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We'd love to come back Keep it up 👍🥰

Positive surprise on a Wednesday lunchtime. One of the few restaurants in Altenburg with lunch. Cozy atmosphere, very nice and friendly service and good food. Happy to repeat and recommend for lunch.

Very nice restaurant! Service completely overwhelmed. We had to wait 1.5 hours just for drinks. The food was tasty, but some of it was cold or was forgotten. Service was friendly! Better planning and more staff would be recommended if there are several celebrations at once.

Ich war sehr enttäuscht! Es stellte sich heraus, daß es eine kleine Mini-Version der Speisekarte gab. Ich hätte mir die Bekanntgabe bei meiner telefonischen Reservierung gewünscht. Ich wählte überbackenes Hähnchen mit Pommes und Zaziki. Leider war des Hähnchen Formfleisch und wirkte wie aus der Dose kommend! Geschmacklich nicht gut und für dieses Gericht stand der Preis von über 21 €. Die Lautstärke der vielen Menschen und der laufenden griechischen Musik brachten kein Wohlgefühl! Sehr schade und nie wieder!

For me the best Greek in Leipzig.

Very nice, fast and attentive team. Can only be recommended 😊 We each ate Kritharaki with tomato sauce (rice noodles with minced steak baked in tomato sauce with sliced ​​cheese) and had 1 soft drink and 1 swimming pool and 1 touchdown each to drink. Everything was really tasty and there was also a salad plate with the main course.

Salad prepared a bit carelessly. The food was very garlicky, and goat cheese grated on the potatoes isn't to everyone's taste either.

The food was very tasty. You have to take some time, if the store is full the service will take a little longer. I can highly recommend 8zn

Very good food and everything ok. Many think of tem

We were there today as a large group. And they mastered this with just 2 hours of advance notice. The restaurant is really nicely decorated. There may have been too few staff in the guest room for the number of guests. So everything took a while. But they did their best and the food was great. I'd love to come back. Thank you.

Super tasty, fast service, cozy restaurant with an outdoor area. Very friendly staff!

Very elegant classic furnishings, stylishly unobtrusive, atmospheric background music,

Despite the crowds, we - me and my dog ​​- were assigned a seat. The baked bifteki was very tasty and sufficiently portioned, but the side salad that was served with it was unfortunately very, very small. Unfortunately, my four-legged companion was not given a water bowl, so the service only received 3 stars

Super tasty. Nice staff. Prices completely ok

Are regularly in Leipzig on business. In my opinion the best Greek in the region

Always a pleasure and great service! Despite the well-filled restaurant, there are no long waiting times. The employees go above and beyond to ensure that the service is quick. And you can do it too! We would love to come back!

Nice restaurant, delicious food

We were in this restaurant for the first time yesterday. The food was very good and the service was very attentive and friendly. The only drawback was that as soon as I entered the restaurant there was a strong smell of frying oil.

Always a nice evening, friendly service, good food...

Unfreundlicher Empfang , Gastfreundlichkeit ist beim Geschäftsführer unbekannt. Wir werden sofort gefragt wie lange wir bleiben wollen, eine halbe oder eine Stunde. Das Restaurant war leer. Auch als wir gegangen sind waren die meisten tische leer. Als Frechheit würden wir nach ca. eine Stunde am Tisch gefragt , wir wir bezahlen wollen, obwohl unsere Weingläser noch voll waren. Unsympathische Anmache. Nach Anfrage haben wir die Speisen kommentiert, alles sehr salzig und gar nicht griechisch, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ungenügend !! Nicht EmpfehlenswertNicht als Gast will. Wir waren sehr enttäuschst.

Not recommended, you can't say anything about the food because we weren't allowed to place an order. Only the drinks and starters, coffee and garlic bread, were ok

Yesterday we were there with a large group of girls and despite the challenge of serving so many of us, the waiters really went above and beyond. Not only were they very professional, but they were also incredibly friendly and attentive. We would particularly like to highlight Toni, who served us the non-alcoholic wild berry liqueur - it was simply delicious! We felt completely at home and would like to thank you very much for the great service and hospitality. It was an unforgettable evening! LG Mary Kay Unit chance

Toni the waiter is SUPER. EVERYTHING IS VERY TASTY AND FAST.

Food was very tasty. 😋 Service was very great. 🔥 Toni very friendly and great.

Everything was perfect, the waiter was friendly and smiling, I would visit the restaurant again

Loved this restaurant ! Yes outside Leipzig but really friendly and beautiful setting . Has everything you need for a perfect evening . Fish platter was delis Lois and the same is 5 star service

Sensational service, the staff is very friendly and personable. The food is excellent and very tasty. Absolutely recommended!!!! A top Greek!!!!

Everything very good waiter very friendly everything perfect

I've been testing a different Greek every week for 8 weeks. I judge based on the gyro. This one is absolute madness. 10 stars

Yesterday we had dinner there again at the Taverna Klassikos and it was, as before, excellent. Starting with the super friendly service (very attentive) to the beautiful ambience (great that you can also sit outside). But the most important thing is the taste of the food and it was unsurpassedly good. Each of us ordered something different so we could try everything. There was also a tasty bedside table, so what more could you want. Clear food recommendation (my 88-year-old grandma also really enjoyed it).

Restaurant is definitely recommended. Super nice welcome. Atmosphere stunning. Food great. Price performance suitable. Any time. The Leitner family from Krostitz

Beautiful outdoor space and delicious food

Very friendly and good service! There was nothing wrong with the food either! Keep it up....

1 A class, very friendly staff and very tasty dishes, everything was great. Worth recommending. We would love to come back.

Ευχαριστώ παρά πολύ !!! Eat like in Greece ☀️! Very attentive staff and excellent food at absolutely fair prices in an appealing atmosphere. Highly recommended! We are already looking forward to the next time 😋!

Been a guest again and had a great meal. Above all, her friendliness is outstanding. We would love to come back!!🤤🤤

Always friendly and requests for space are fulfilled Food very tasty 😋 and typical hospitality Only recommended, you can relax

The four of us eat there in the evening. The food came quite quickly. And it was very tasty 😋. The salad was missing at the beginning of the main courses. Forgot to serve. It can happen sometimes. Otherwise it was very relaxed and friendly. And it was well attended too.

Really highly recommended! All dishes were delicious, very friendly and fast service and overall an ideal price-performance ratio. In addition, a very nice facility and a great porch/winter garden, as well as clean toilets. We'll definitely be back soon!

Wonderful restaurant! Very friendly staff. Everyone has a nice saying on their lips. Extremely delicious food and unbeatable price/performance. Pretty interior and cozy outdoor seating available. Any time!

We always enjoy coming here. The food is very tasty, typically Greek. Prices are also reasonable. Only recommended.

Very good service and Amus ferry. 100% recommended. Always worth a nice evening.

Very nice atmosphere. The direct access from the hotel is very comfortable. There is the option to sit outside or inside and there is plenty of space for busy days.

Seldom eaten so well. Compliments to the kitchen and the staff. Price performance top. Anyone who complains about something that isn't good, keep it up.

It's always a lovely evening in the restaurant. With a warm welcome and a pleasant atmosphere and good food you can end the day wonderfully there. 👍🏻

The lamb shank was indescribably good. We were there as a group and everyone was completely satisfied.

We've been there for dinner a few times It's very tasty, super friendly service We like to come here again and again. Price-performance ratio is very good I can only warmly recommend this Paul

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant and the hosts were very friendly. If in Leipzig, we will definitely come back.

The restaurant is highly recommended, delicious food, right next to the hotel (discovered by chance), friendly service and the ambience is also very nice and not to forget the chairs are very comfortable.

Spontaneous visit after the trade fair in Leipzig, it was super tasty, I haven't eaten so well in a long time, friendly service, friendly service, and the food was great

The staff is friendly and courteous. The warm appetizer platter is highly recommended, but I haven't found a dish yet that isn't delicious. Meat is always cooked to perfection.

We were in the hotel "next door/upstairs" and didn't feel like walking far for our dinner, so we decided on Klassikos. It was absolutely the right decision because you get great food in huge sizes and it tastes great too.

Highly Recommended. Very tasty and the service was great. Enchanting atmosphere!!!!

Very friendly staff. Food was really delicious. I can only recommend it 👍👍👍

The best restaurant, I recommend it with confidence

I recommend with confidence, very good food, The waiters serve very nicely, grade 10+

I've been there twice now. The first time, the food was ok at best. But it can happen sometimes. The second time was also the last time. The lamb shank came out of the oven on a cold plate and was stringy and tough. That was really disgusting. The children's portion of pasta came with a tomato sauce that consisted of red-colored water and tasted exactly the same. I have already seen an identical review of the children's portion here, I can confirm it 100%. The other lamb plates were ok, nothing more. When the waiter saw the almost full plates when paying, I would have expected at least one question - was it tasty? - he probably already guessed the answer. Maybe my face has already answered. He then left in a somewhat defiant/offended manner. Except for the finale, the service was okay and friendly.

Absolute recommendation. Also great for celebrations!

Simply top, from the starter to the dessert. Large selection, large portions. Very attentive, nice staff, as it should be and always in a good mood!! Greetings from Austria 😃

Our "where it all began ❤️❤️insanely good food and service that deserves world-class status 😘

Food is simply top. The service is nice and tries to deliver quickly, everything is good. Only one star deducted for the ambience - if the kitchen is humming, it can't be that the "exhaust fumes" are moving into the dining room. There's something wrong with the ventilation or smoke exhaust. It's not pretty and needs to be changed.

The three of us ate there spontaneously last night. Although we came without a reservation, a table was found for us with a child inside. Very friendly and attentive staff! We'll definitely come back.

Very nice atmosphere. Nice service and the food tastes very tasty. Just the portions 🙈 2 pieces of mushrooms €9.90 😂

Just went to this store... Service, well, ambience like at the train station is not possible at all. Food was rather bad. The waiter lies and says that wasn't there. Even though the minced steak was on the menu. Even though I skipped the expensive lamb chop and the minced meat was stolen from me, I was charged the full price... and all this with bad service, bad food, and a train station atmosphere... I never again...

Food ok. However, the service was anything but motivated. The good man clearly didn't know the difference between "Zero" and "Light" Pointing out that we ordered Coke "Zero" and not "Light", which he delivered to us, the bad-tempered "waiter" replied that he had taken the drinks back with him. And best of all, he didn't come back! That was not nice!

Great atmosphere... very modern and stylishly furnished, plus great food at a good price!

A spacious room with subtle, pleasant decoration, the tables are arranged as seating areas. The waitresses were friendly, quick and humorous, the menu was extensive and there was something for every taste. Considering it was very busy the two times we were guests, the food came pretty quickly. Everyone enjoyed it very much. The prices are reasonable, a main course between 16 and 20 euros, and the quantity is enough to fill you up. The only negative point is the high volume. In addition to the loud babble of voices from the guests, the music was playing relatively loudly. I know that from other restaurants and it's basically normal in gastronomy, but in this case it was really unpleasant and tiring... I don't know if there's anything that can be done about it acoustically? But I can still recommend the restaurant as such.

Friendly service, food hot, all in all recommended

The food is really very diverse, freshly cooked and delicious. Price is okay too. And in summer there is a covered patio. So recommended!

Hier schmeckt es immer hervorragend und das Personal ist super freundlich. Preislich ist es schon etwas intensiver aber die Qualität stimmt und die Portionen sind groß.

Ein sehr geschmackvollen eingerichtetes Restaurant

Ein gutes Restaurant Sehr freundliches Personal Grosses Angebot an Essen und Getränke und es gehört noch ein Hotel dazu und eine Tiefgarage.Mittwoch macht das Restaurant Ruhetag.Ich komme gerne wieder.

Hat sehr nachgelassen, Essen teilweise schon kalt

Tolles Essen, riesige Portionen. Gute Preise sowie sympathisches Personal.

Großartiges Restaurant! Es schmeckt jedes Mal sehr gut, das Ambiente ist schön und das Personal wirklich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sowohl Service und Küche sind immer schnell. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne zum Essen.

Die Taverna bietet ein außerordentlich gutes griechisches Angebot an Speisen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und preislich angemessen. Einzig die Portionsgrößen könnten üppiger ausfallen

Einwandfreies Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis, modernes Ambiente und super freundliche Gastgeber. Hier harmoniert noch rundum alles👌🏽

the food was one of the best I've tried, the service was on time and very accurate.

Wir wurden außerordentlich freundlich empfangen. Obwohl es sehr voll war, gut eine Woche vor Weihnachten, waren die Leute vom Service ausgesprochen flink. Man konnte sehen, das sie Stress hatten, aber nie waren sie unfreundlich oder auch nur kurz angebunden. Da kann sich mancher ein Beispiel nehmen. Das Essen war vorzüglich. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort hingehen, Taverna Klassikos steht mit auf unserer persönlichen Liste der Lieblingsrestaurants.

Da das Partnerrestaurant wegen einer geschlossen Gesellschaft nicht verfügbar war, wurden wir in dieses Restaurant umgeleitet. Wir waren rundum begeistert. Das Essen hat geschmeckt, der Service bemühte sich liebevoll um uns. Unser spontanes Abendessen mit Freunden war gesichert. Ein großes Dankeschön!

Top Ambiente, sehr nette und herzliche Begrüßung. Speisekarte sehr umfangreich und die Gerichte sehr reichlich und absolut zu empfehlen.

Etwas abseits, aber sehr leckere Küche, sehr nette Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Schöner Abend mit meiner Familie bei leckerem Essen.
