Taverna Kreta Minotavros in Berlin

Nice Greek restaurant like you would find in Greece...no frills and practical. It's better to make a reservation on the weekend, especially if you can't sit outside due to the temperatures... the food is delicious and the service is very friendly. In my opinion, prices are in the upper middle range, but very centrally located in the Nollendorfkiez. Open and gay friendly, relaxed atmosphere

Delicious & authentic 👍🏻 (nothing more needs to be said)

Small, rustic restaurant with authentic food and an absolute family business: mother takes the order, grandma brings it and the daughter is also there! All three were very friendly and the food was delicious! Gladly again!

Nice food. Problem is - payment only Cash.

Felt like I was back at home in Melbourne. Beautiful food! Thanks for the generous amounts of food!

Some things are not bad, but I had s stomach ache both times I ate dishes with minced meat here (bofteki etc)

Today we were in a group of 6 in the small restaurant and had 7 different starters and 5 different main courses - we were all 100% impressed! The traditional Cretan dishes were at least as tasty as the classic dishes. The service was excellent! Thank you for the great evening!

Small tavern with a heart on Nollendorfplatz. Well attended, but there is always one last seat available...

Great food, great service. Family history! Just great!

Delicious food and great service every time! I can only expressly recommend Taverna Crete!

Super high quality food and incredibly friendly staff. Will be back for more!

A family running traditional establishment with a very tasty kitchen 👍😋😋

We had a very good dinner. We will repeat.

Very tasty and traditional Greek restaurant with great hosts.

Great food, lamb was exquisite. I would recommend and visit again.

Nice little restaurant in the Nollendorfkiez. The food is more traditional Greek, but there are also some classics like you would find in most Greek restaurants. Unfortunately there is no beer on tap. Employees very nice and attentive. My gyro dish was quite good, but not spectacular either. My neighbor's meal, on the other hand, who had a traditional cooked meat dish, was really tasty, you can tell that the passion for the "real" Greek is lived. For dessert, in addition to the obligatory ouzo, there was also delicious lykkomades (I hope I spelled it correctly). Unfortunately payment with debit/credit card/NFC is not possible, only cash. That's why I'm sticking with just one visit.

Eating went like this Meat was quite mixed and dry for souvlaki Very few fries Service was ok but not great either Had to ask twice for the bill Very disappointing: only cash payment

Delicious food, friendly service, the kitchen takes orders even late in the evening, prices are not that cheap (salad with beetroot 11.50 EUR), you sit close together (even outside) and card payments are not accepted.

Very friendly staff, super delicious food. We had a starter plate and a grill plate for two people. The Aperol Spritz is great for the price. We'd love to come back.

Delicious. The nearby Indian restaurant and this one always leave me wondering.

The owners were very kind. Food was delicious! Big plates and a good price. Service very friendly.

Amazing. One word describes food and service.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Excellent tavern. Delicious food with really friendly staffnand owner. You must try loukoumades with honey, they are the best you can get.

Discovered by chance! The goat was a hit today! Super tender, no strong taste - really delicious 😋

Great food. Family atmosphere. Warmly recommend to everyone.

Delicious grilled meals, big portions, super service but payment only in cash. Highly recommended for those who in love with meat.

Non plus ultra. Thrice perfect.

Very good food and best desert you can have in Berlin 😋

Everything is just right here: the food is consistently delicious, beautifully presented, good quality and large portions. The service is very attentive, quick and friendly. You sit comfortably and there are also plenty of seating options outside. We will be back definitely!!!! We are happy to recommend it!!!

Excellent to save yourself from the usual German dishes. Good dishes and very friendly service. The only negative note is the owner who, sitting there, plagues everyone with the smoke and stench of his cigar/pipe

There is a small restaurant, but it is also very tasty and the service is good and the food is a real delight. A very small restaurant but the food is very tasty and the service is good and very friendly, highly recommended.

Best pastitzio in the world in the neighborhood! (served with salad)

Delicious fresh food and very friendly service, one of my favorite restaurants in Berlin.

Food delicious, service OK, but then. Pay in cash only. At 60 euros. Real? In 2024? Get money from the savings bank. Never again.

Very good service and good food!

Food was great but restaurant is very small and cramped. And the waitress was very nice but only told us when we were paying that card payment was not possible.

Super friendly, food is delicious, we even got dessert on the house

Vi fik kold/varm starters som var direkte røvsyg, alt for høj en pris for det på tallerken. Der manglede dolmades og feta, som jo er pære græsk. Så fik vi lammekoteletter som var sindsygt seje, så man dårlig kunne få kødet af benet og de smagte ikke af noget. Prisen var samlet set alt alt for høj for maden taget i betragtning og vi ventede næsten en hel time på lammekødet. Da vi skulle betale kunne man kun betale med kontanter, selvom de hverken havde oplyst om det eller skiltet med det. Tidligere på dagen betalte vi 7euro for 2 currywurst med kort men kunne ikke betale med kort på en restaurant hvor prisen var 71 euro. Ikke er sted vi nogensinde kommer på igen. Hilsen Globetrotterne fra Aalborg

Was in no way impressed by either the food or the service. Got hot/cold food which mostly consisted of some mashed potatoes and other indifferent food. Waited a very long time for the main course which was lamb. What we got were boring fries with the most chewy lamb we've ever had. You cannot pay by card. It didn't say anywhere. Will not come again.

Very nice small and authentic Greek restaurant. Very nice service and very tasty food.

I can easily give all three categories (food, service and ambience) 5 stars. All very, very good. I would recommend it and come back.

The food was fresh and flavorful. Service was very friendly and the price was also right.

Absolutely stunning food!! The best pastitsio I've ever had!! Service as stunning as the food.

incredibly delicious there! cute little place.

Sehr kleines aber irre gemütliches Restaurant. Bedienung sehr freundlich und äußerst aufmerksam. Typische griechische Speisen und sehr positiv überschaubar. Die Speisekarten könnte man jedoch mal wieder optisch etwas aktualisieren. Essen war äußerst gutschmeckend und die Portion auch voll ausreichend. Preis auch komplett angemessen. Alles in allem-sehr zu empfehlen, wenn einer ein gemütliches griechisches Restaurant in Berlin sucht.👍

Very good food. Thanks. I'll be back.

Really tasty! Not the usual completely over-seasoned, grilled food that you get in most Greek restaurants, but simply delicious, fluffy and rich. Even the ouzo is really good! And coleslaw not drowned in vinegar but with good oil! Always my pleasure!

We have repeated (2018-2024). Tasty typical Greek food with good service and price

Very tasty and incredibly nice Unfortunately only cash payment possible... But there are worse things You just have to know it beforehand

Small tavern with maybe 30-35 seats. Very friendly waitress, responsive to individual requests. Obvious boss at the counter just as warm and nice. We really enjoyed the grilled plates before our concert at the Tempodrom. If the opportunity arises we will come back.

We have been regular guests there for several years. The food is always delicious and plentiful, everything is fresh and the vegetables are crunchy and with a bite. The service is Greek-friendly.

We came across this small, almost inconspicuous restaurant by chance. A restaurant with an unmistakable “Greek flair”. The service was friendly, nice, uncomplicated - just like you're used to on vacation. It is recommended to look through the "handwritten" menu - even if it is difficult to read, there are real Greek "delicacies" to be found there! The food itself was very delicious - Greek through and through! Not the German-style Greek food often found in other places! No, souvlaki here tastes like it does at the market in Kalamata - the connoisseurs among you know what I mean by that! All in all, the visit was worth it - a piece of Greece in the middle of Berlin!

Good food and hospitality. Very tasty and original greek food

Very family-friendly, I'm celebrating my 70th birthday!!!!! Great !!!!!

The food is very tasty and the service is always friendly. Biggest problem: No card payments possible. Therefore minus 1 star. It's very comfortable inside. The portions are normal and there is also Greek food, not just the German meat plates that have nothing to do with Greece.

We stayed in Berlin for 3 days and returned here every evening. Authentic food, huge portions, warm welcome with always sweets offered. All this at a fair price.

We zochten een restaurant in de buurt van hotel Berlin en kwamen hier terecht. Een gezellig restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. Heerlijk gegeten en ruime porties. En dat voor een schappelijke prijs. Een aanrader!

Sehr gemütlich, sehr lecker, sehr freundlich!

Probably the best greek restaurant in Berlin. The food is amazing and the staff very friendly. I recommend warmly this place

Hervorragender Grieche mit sehr leckeren Essen, freundlicher Bedienung und sehr gemütlich.

Fantastic food, friendly family staff, salad starter with bread and delicious dessert served in a wonderful atmosphere. Great value, we will be back.

Ich mag es kaum glauben - ich schreibe über ein griechisches Restaurant. Eigentlich ist die Landesküche generell nicht so meines, aber hier gehe ich tatsächlich des Öfteren hin. Es liegt sicherlich an dem herzlichen Willkommen durch die "Mama" und an dem wirklich guten Service. Im Sommer viele Tische draußen.

Echt leckeres griechisches Essen, freundlicher Service und man kann gut draußen und drinnen sitzen 😃

Delicious food, generous and friendly service! :)

Essen einfach nur Klasse. Es ist eine schöne urige und kleine Taverne mit sehr viel Flair und freundlichen Bedienungen. Sehr zu empfehlen. Das I-Tüpfelchen war eine leckere Nachspeise aufs Haus. Danke.

Kleines, uriges griechisches Restaurant mit sehr herzlicher und persönlicher Bedienung. Vielfältige Speisekarte mit leckerem Essen wie auf Kreta. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!!

Kleines griechisches Restaurant mit sehr netten, persönlichen Service. Essen lecker und typisch griechisch, viele Stammgäste.

Tasty food, kind staffs, warm environment

Veramente ottimo! Mi è sembrato di tornare ad Atene con questi sapori. Piatti abbondanti, buonissimi. La ragazza che ci ha servito sempre sorridente e molto gentile. I prezzi un pochino alti ma in relazione alla quantità è giustificato. Noi abbiamo speso sui 57€ totali per due persone con tutto quello che abbiamo preso nelle foto (vino, antipasto diviso, moussaka e pollo alla griglia. Il dolce era offerto). Da provare assolutamente se si è in zona. Complimenti!!!

Sehr feines Essen. Sehr sehr freundlicher Service!

Excelente el sitio para cenar. Todo fresco y del día. Nos ha encantado el camarero Giovanni, muy amable, educado, nos aconsejó muy bien. Volveríamos a repetir gracias a el.

Lugar encantador, cenamos , ensalada que estaba genial, mussaka, espectacular, nos pusieron buñuelos de postre exquisitos...el camarero Giovanni una persona amable, simpático, atento siempre por si falta algo...Lo recomiendo al 100%

Nos ha encantado Giovanni, excelente camarero, aconsejó muy bien, muy educado, encantador, profesional. Volveríamos sin dudarlo por el y por las ensaladas, patatas horno y musaka.

Kreta Minotavros Restaurant is absolutely my favourite place in Berlin for super delicious, fresh and amazing Greek food & drink 😋 i am a regular client of course with my family 🤩😃 the service is very helpful and friendly ☺️ the food incredible 🤠 everything we need to eat and drink and to feel like we are in Greece 🇬🇷🤩 honestly I am super satisfied and I will go again again again again 🫶 highly recommended by me and my kids 😃

Die griechische Taverne ist klein dafür unschlagbar lecker und man wird wärmstens verköstigt. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Das Essen wird frisch zubereitet

I had a great time at Taverna Kreta Minotavros. The service was excellent, thanks to our waiter. He was friendly, attentive, and helpful. He gave us some recommendations and explained the dishes in detail. He made our visit a memorable one. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Greek cuisine and hospitality.

מקום מעולה, מלצרים מקסימים! ואוכל מאוד טעים ומשביע. מומלץ ביותר! אוכל יווני אותנטי.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this Greek restaurant! The food was not only delicious but also made with the freshest ingredients, giving it an authentic and genuine flavor that transported us straight to Greece. The owners' hospitality was unparalleled; they made us feel like part of their family from the moment we walked in. Our waiter (John) was incredibly helpful and attentive, always ready to answer our questions and offer suggestions. Dining here was a delightful experience, and we can't wait to return for another taste of Greece's culinary delights and warm hospitality!

Super leckeres Essen und ein super Kellner.Hat auf Kosten des Hauses Nachtisch spendiert für 4personen

Das Essen war halt auch nur okay, hab ich mir mehr erhofft für das Geld.

Absolut lecker 🤤 sehr zu empfehlen. Total nettes Personal das auf jeden Wunsch eingeht (und sehr auf Allergien achtet !) Die Musik ist leider ein bisschen laut, aber das ist nur persönlich, es passt zum Ambiente. Gerne wieder !❤️

Nettes Personal. Schönes Ambiente. Leckeres Essen. Was will man mehr? Besonder auf meine Allergie wurde super stark rücksicht genommen, was man leider sehr selten sieht. Gerne wieder!

Super leckere, authentische griechische Küche! Das Team ist wahnsinnig herzlich!

Very good food, nice portions, super nice atmosphere and great service! The waiter that served our food (Johan, if I remember his name correctly...if not - apologies), was working alone and while the place was quite busy, didn't skip a beat while being super professional and very friendly!

Essen wie in Griechenland! Super authentischer Laden - man fühlt sich wie im Urlaub. Alle super nett, ausgeschlossen und zuvorkommend. Danke für den tollen Abend!

tasty Greek food, in good portions, reasonably priced, prepared and served by a charming Cretan family! lots of authentic Creta in the menu! Thank you Juli, Stelios, and wonderful mama! Yiamas :)

The food is not totally authentic to greek maybe. But their mezes were fresh. This is really important. And the waiters were extremely fast and kind. Something you cannot buy in Germany with money. Thank you.

War wie immer schön bei Euch, bis zum nächsten Mal.

Kleines Restaurant am Nollendorfplatz. Sehr freundliche Bedienung und das Essen ist lecker. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne hier her wenn wir in Berlin sind. Also wir können es empfehlen.

Great food, great team. Very cute place. Will go again :) Thanks guys!!

Bin immer begeistert hier zu Essen toller aufmerksamer Service….fühlt sich familiär an…

Very nice home-cooked food, friendly service, yet sadly cash-only like far too many places in Germany...

Family owned, friendly stuff. Super food. A recommendation.

Amazing place, amazing owner ! It was great to meet with Stellios and his father. They reminded me the strong Turkish&Greek friendship again. Thank you so much❤️✌️ You guys are so nice people. Stin gia mas ☺️

Sehr aufmerksame Bedienung....Essen TOP!!!!!

I went today with my family i am from Greece by myself and i taste the food exactly the same as in Greece.Atmosphere friendly and lovely..recommend dish: Ziege Kreter Art und Lammhaxe.!!!Service top and very friendly..!! 5 starts to the lovely family in Massenenstrasse Kreta Minotavros..!!

Ausgezeichnetes Essen und super liebe Bedienungen. Die Inneneinrichtung versetzt einen direkt nach Kreta. Sehr familiär und obwohl es voll war, eine schöne Zeit. Komme auf jedenfall wieder!

Update 2023: Neues Personal bedient, übergriffig, teils frech, sowieso unpersönlich… voller Laden aber qualitativ schwach, Rechnung fragwürdig … für uns insgesamt nicht nochmal! Aus 2021: Der kleine familiäre Grieche am Winterfeldtplatz war einmal... Leider... Nur noch Masse, eng an eng und das in Corona Zeiten. Keinen Blick mehr fürs Detail (Salz und Pfeffer wünscht man vergebens)... Das Essen insgesamt hat leider auch massiv nachgelassen. Wir werden nach Jahren einen neuen Stammgriechen suchen und bestimmt finden.

An above average greek eating experienced. Mixed meats were nice and with heavy flavor. Loved it. Grilled chicken was a bit on the soft side, but still cooked. I would have loved some cold, marinaded and spiced potatos instead of ordinary french fries (wich were actually very well made). The tzatziki seemed far from home made. Watery with way to little cucumber, imho.
