Taverne Ilios in Forchheim

Great food, nice cozy little restaurant

Went here today on my bike as a finale 😄 ate outside in the evening sun. The starters were very tasty, the portion was very large. The main course with salad also had nothing to complain about. The boss is a cook and service all in one, which we really like. When we paid we still had time for a “Hoigarten” as they call it here in the Allgäu. We'll be happy to stop by again when we're in the area again. Thank you for the nice, friendly and tasty hospitality 😊

Bad service.. outrageous prices. No go

Super friendly owner who knows his craft. Delicious food, the gyros in metaxa sauce was outstanding! Gladly again

The best fried calamari I've eaten in a long time... Thank you 😘

Very good, rich food at absolutely fair prices, super friendly and helpful. We were definitely excited.

It was okay. There are better ones

The food was very delicious, the tzazziki is one of the best I've had, just a little bit. I didn't like the mushroom sauce, but that's a matter of taste. The service is kind and friendly. The only thing we missed was the buczuzo uz, which is common among Greeks. The spéci was perfect, pleasantly cool. We will be back to try something else. Overall, I can recommend it. Unfortunately, we were so hungry that I forgot to take photos. Next time...

Quiet and cozy in the garden. Friendly host and good food

The tavern was described to me by friends and acquaintances as a “chip shop” and “you don't need to go there”. But as always, I'd rather make up my own mind. So it wasn't that bad. There is only a small, separate inner courtyard as a beer garden, but they have made an effort to decorate it a bit nicely and despite Bayreuther Straße running directly on the other side of the house - an extremely busy thoroughfare - you can sit there quite well (unfortunately there are a lot of wasps, but). no one can do anything about it). Unfortunately I had to wait a long time for my drink, even though I was really thirsty, my starter came earlier (a bit unfortunate when you're a guest sitting around with your tongue hanging out and people get their food first). Maybe it was also due to the fact that the owner had a “one man show” (that day) and did everything alone, but drinks should come quickly and first. In summer anyway. Unfortunately the beer wasn't on tap - it's a shame, I'm actually going away to get a freshly tapped beer, especially in a "tavern". There was no welcome ouzo that you get everywhere else... Hmm... The starter (Skordata) was very tasty and the bread was very fresh. Fine. For the main course, instead of the potato chips I ordered on the menu, there were only normal fries, but at least they were good. The grilled calamari was very well seasoned, which also applies to the small salad. So he can season! Unfortunately, it's a problem with grilled squid - if it's grilled too short, it's like rubber. A little too long, like rubber, you have to get rid of that. Unfortunately this one was on too long. Nevertheless, the food was overall tasty, even if it wasn't optimal. However, I have to say that the price level, like the other Greeks in Fo. and they can really do it better. With the second beer he simply gave me a bottle, like “Do it yourself”. So I don't think that's good for an economy. At least the beer was cold. I then ordered the ouzo myself (you had to pay for it yourself) and it was lukewarm... in the summer. Ouch. At least he brought us all a small test dessert, which was probably galaktompuripur, tasty, but way too much cinnamon. To get to the point, I'm a bit disappointed overall. Also because he didn't ask the ladies at the next table or me if we wanted something else to drink, but simply brought the bill at some point he was really just overwhelmed that day. What a pity. I thought it was a small Greek tavern where you could pop in after work for an appetizer and a beer or two or three, but I'm not sure. As I said, you can get more for the money elsewhere. (the portion was ok, but I mean in terms of price/performance). And I can open a bottle of beer myself at home.

The food was a poem... Delicious tzatziki. We will come there more often. 🤗

Very tasty food with good portion sizes and friendly service. We will be back.

Went here for dinner today and everything was perfect. The taste is great and definitely not the gyros in small pieces like some people write here. Gyros was outstanding and perfect. We will stop by here again and you will notice that you are with a real Greek here. Super nice, always friendly and the food was great. 👍👍👍

We were very satisfied. The boss, also a cook and(!) service person, was very friendly and the food was really very tasty! It was difficult to make a choice when choosing so many dishes, some of which were no longer common 😆. In the backyard, here the guest garden, the Greek internet radio creates a certain holiday atmosphere. Very charming and convincing everything! I would come back any time if I lived there!

I ate there with four people and we were all very disappointed. I had a gyro/calamari plate with fried potato chips (fries). The potato chips were crispy and OK, as were the three small pieces of calamari, but the huge mountain of "gyros" was inedible for me. The meat was in tiny, crumbly pieces on the plate, you could only put it on the fork with a knife (basically you would have needed a spoon) the consistency reminded me of minced meat. It looked like scraps that fell off when cutting a skewer had been scraped together. I know Greek cuisine very well and we were far from that. Given the otherwise very good reviews, I wonder why we experienced such disappointment.

Good Greek cuisine at fair prices. Nice service.

Family businesses. Nice service. Ambiance is somehow German instead of Greek.

Highly recommended👍 Have been there for dinner before. Great food 👍 Great service 👍 All in one TOP 👍👍

Super leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Das Gyros war lecker. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Einzig das Ambiente ist etwas rustikal.

Wir haben bisher immer Gyros zum mitnehmen bestellt, mussten nie länger als 20 Minuten warten. Essen ist immer frisch und schmeckt gut. Freundliche Bedienung.

Sehr leckeres Essen, echt ein Geheimtipp.

Empfehenswert hier zu speisen. Hat alles toll geschmeckt. Klein aber fein. Nur 3 Sterne für Ambiente, weil der Kanalgeruch ab und zu durch die Luft schwabbert, da kann aber der Wirt nix dafür, sondern die Stadt Forchheim

Das Essen war ein Genuss auf ganzer Linie. Absolut empfehlenswert. Sehr großes Lob.

Super Essen -sehr freundlicher Grieche

Wirklich super lecker. Der Wirt ist sehr sympathisch. Die Preise sind angemessen. Unsere Essen waren frisch zubereitet und jedes für sich war gut aufeinander abgestimmt.
