Taverne Naxos in Mainz

Since the change of ownership, the quality has deteriorated significantly. The service is ok, but seems overwhelmed. Moussaka had no eggplant, "garlic bread" was garlic butter bagutte from the supermarket/metro that was briefly fried. Bifteki soggy and not tasty. It's a shame, Naxos used to be the best Greek restaurant in Mainz. Also, €100 for two adults and two small children is very expensive, even in the city center.

Classic Greek restaurant with the usual selection of dishes. The quality of the food is still good, but the prices are very expensive and the portions have become very small. There is a deduction for the service, which understands almost no German. Questions or requests for changes were therefore initially rejected. Finally the chef came, who understood the request in English and took it into account.

I had my first dinner in Germany and the seafood menu was very delicious. I forgot my wallet, but when I went there the next day, the friendly owner said he wanted to find it for me, but he didn't have any contact information, so he gave it to me right away. It was a day where I was moved by his honesty and kind heart.

Tasty food, nice atmosphere, wonderful placement -- not far from Rhein, close to centre

I went there for dinner with a friend. The food was very, very tasty, the portions are generous and the service is friendly and accommodating. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Greek restaurant cute no more than that, The salads are good, the rest left less of an impression on me

5 STARS! 💯 BEST FOOD IN MAINZ! HOSPITALITY IS GREAT! WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK! Thank you to the owner for cooking the dish we had years ago!

The food was amazing, the lamb was excellently cooked. I recommend this restaurant, I am a Romanian on vacation, and this restaurant is on the top of the places I would return to

The food was amazing, the lamb was very well cooked. I recommend this restaurant, I am a Romanian on vacation, and this restaurant is on the top of the places I would return to. I am a Romanian on vacation and I recommend this restaurant for a well-made Greek meal. The ambience is traditional, the restaurant is comfortable, with a beautiful illustration on the wall.

Nice atmosphere, compliments in the kitchen.

Excellent service and outstanding food. As a Swiss, I like to come here when I'm nearby and the quality hasn't changed in 4 years :)

The Naxos tavern in Mainz impresses with authentic Greek cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are freshly prepared, tastefully seasoned and reflect the diversity of Mediterranean cuisine. Particularly noteworthy is the exquisite selection of Georgian wines, which represent an interesting addition to the classic offering and should delight connoisseurs. The friendly and attentive staff ensure a completely pleasant experience, so that you as a guest feel in good hands. Whether for a sociable evening or a relaxed dinner – the Naxos tavern is a clear recommendation for lovers of good cuisine and excellent wines.

Cute little and authentic restaurant with very good food. Lamb and shrimp highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Seit vielen Jahren besuchen wir das Naxos und waren immer sehr zufrieden! Dieses Mal hatten wir um die 10 Freunde guten Gewissens zum Abendessen dorthin verführt. Offensichtlich hat der Betreiber (Besitzer-) wechsel dem Restaurant nicht gut getan!!! Das Essen wurde teilweise falsch geliefert, war aber im Großen und Ganzen soweit okay. Bei den Grtränken gab es einige Komplikationen, die wohl auf sprachlichen Problemen zurück zu führen waren. Falschlieferungen in größerer Anzahl(!) haben für Diskussionen gesorgt, die wohl mit dem elektronischen Abrechnungssystem zusammen hingen!!! Sei es drum, man ist ja sehr wohl und flexibel gestimmt. Um so mehr wurden wir dadurch verärgert, daß mehrere Getränke im Nachhinein abgerechnet wurden, die wir nicht hatten (mehr als 16 €)! Macht euch ein eigenes Bild!

The food was mostly very good (hence 2 stars overall and not just 1), but the portions were very manageable. And at a price that is around 20-40% higher than comparable Greek restaurants. But the service was completely unacceptable. Inattentive and unfriendly which resulted in wrong drinks. And not even the question at the end whether you wanted an ouzo or espresso.

Everything was very tasty, the staff was very cheerful and friendly

Very good food small and fain perfect for a quiet evening

Naxos has never disappointed me. Super tasty, great owner. I've been a regular for years. ❤️

A year ago we got TK Gyrros and wanted to try it again. An hour after the starter we were asked which main course we had ordered. Thankfully declined. This is not a Greek tavern. Too bad.

Unfortunately a bit disappointing. We were a group of 15 people. We have reserved a menu for 18 people in advance. We agreed on a price of €45 for a varied 2-course menu. The starter was ok but everything was the same. The main course only consisted of meat and potato chips, for example calamari was also promised. Even though there were only 15 of us, we were billed for 18 meals (which is ok in itself, but it's debatable). What was much worse was that we were charged €50 per bottle of Ouzo. A carafe of Hauswejn €25, which was absolutely inedible and felt like it came out of the tetra pack.

Poor quality of the food, the host never showed up, the waiters were overwhelmed

The restaurant has a very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. You can ask to light the fireplace +500 to comfort! A hospitable owner makes you feel like you are visiting a person, and not just a restaurant. Varied choice of dishes. Excellent Georgian wines - definitely worth a try!

Were there on Monday evening. The food and service were very good.

There has probably been a change in operator and so the quality is no longer what it was. The quality of the food and drinks is definitely not like it was in summer 2024. Unfortunately there is less of a good restaurant in Mainz

Wir waren zu Silvester in diesem Lokal auf Empfehlung. Das war das schlimmste und schlechteste was ich jemals erlebt habe. Essen kalt, absolut schlechter Service. Keine Musik im Lokal zu Silvester oder Unterhaltung. Völlig überteuerte Preise für die sehr schlechte Qualität der Speisen. 160,00 Euro für 2 erwachsene und ein Kind ! Verschmutzte Teller wurden nicht abgeräumt auf Getränke Wartezeit ca. 40 Minuten usw. Personal völlig überfordert. Sprach kein Wort deutsch oder englisch. Man sollte sich in Grund und Boden schämen. Nie wieder werde ich den Laden betreten und schon überhaupt nicht weiterempfehlen. Schämt euch !!! Ihr habt uns die Freude an Neujahr versaut und genommen !

I thought the food was good and would give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. However, in my opinion, the prices are a bit expensive for the taste.

Very nice atmosphere, tasty food and great service!

Can't understand the good reviews. Very family unfriendly restaurant. There was no high chair, no changing table and we then had to change our child in the guest room. Service unfriendly and annoyed. He also gossiped about us when we asked about the changing table.

We have been to this restaurant on two other occasions and enjoyed the experience. It was our last night in Mainz and had reserved several weeks ago and was confirmed. One we arrived every table was reserved for larger groups. We speak German and they claimed to not have our reservation despite us showing it to them. Rather than make room for the two of us or find an alternate time slot, they simply turned us away. They appeared sorry for the mix up but it was a major disappointment and sadly won’t ever return. Not sure what’s happened but not the same restaurant as we’ve experienced in the past. Will look for other Greek food in Mainz.

I was annoyed by the comments that the service staff “didn’t speak German well”. We had no problem communicating. The lady reassured herself several times that she had understood the order correctly. But I didn't find that bothersome at all. The food was also good. And I am happy that the owner gives people the opportunity to arrive in Germany and learn the language.

It was the first time in the restaurant and I was thrilled. Great food, nice ambience and great service 👏👏👏

Mousaka war mangelhaft. Leicht sauer, fast verdorben. Ich hätte es zurück geben sollen Wein und Service okay, aber Restaurant (in das ich seit über 40 Jahren gehe) zur Zeit nicht empfehlenswert

The two of us just had dinner there. Good food at good prices. Absolutely recommended.

The food was delicious 😋 but the waitress doesn't speak German 😬

Nice service and delicious food. I can't understand the bad reviews. We'd love to come back.

Best!!! Everything fresh and delicious. THANKS!

Nice place to eat and chat. The owner is super friendly.

nice place. I really liked the food: deliciously prepared. And of course I will come back👍👍👍👍👍👍

Perfect service nice food warm environment I recommend it to everyone to have a great time

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, kind staff.

Too bad. The new operators are probably making a lateral entry into the catering industry that is not successful. Add for the operators: 90 minutes of waiting time was still quick compared to other tables, glasses are grabbed from above when serving, the cook stands behind the counter picking her teeth, the waitress sometimes cannot be found and the customer's own payment system is completely overwhelming. This is just a brief summary

Wir kennen die Taverne Naxos schon seit vielen Jahren und sind dort immer wieder gerne eingekehrt, so auch dieses mal, jedoch in Unwissenheit, dass die Betreiberfamilie nach der 2. Generation wohl nicht mehr das Naxos führt. Nun steht das Restaurant unter georgischer Leitung, wie zumindest die Speisekarte verrät und eine Weinauswahl aus dem Mutterland zu bestätigen scheint. Wann genau der Wechsel stattfand ist nicht geläufig, muss aber schon mind. Anfang des Jahres gewesen sein, wie aktuellere Bewertungen auf diesem Portal andeuten. Das Restaurant bestach früher durch seine griechische Authenzität, sei es, was den "alten" aber wertzuschätzenden Einrichtigungsstil, die Vielfältigkeit der Speisekarte und die griechische Originalität der Speisen und Getränke sowie den guten Service betraf. Alles in allem waren viele Veränderungen feststellen, leider nicht zum Positiven. Wenn auch der Einrichtungsstil im Kern beibehalten wurde, so sind ein paar Veränderungen so auffallend und -negativ- prägend, das man sie schon als Stilbruch bezeichnen kann. Bilder aus irgendeiner Billigquelle ohne jeden Bezug zu Griechenland beigemischt und dgl. mehr, die grelle Beleuchtung, eine Plastikspeisekarte mit Bildern von einzelnen Speisen (wie in einer Touristenkneipe - Stilbruch erster Klasse) und die Veränderung des Speiseangebots, um die essentiellen Beispiele anzuführen. Die Speisen zwar in Anlehnung an die Karte der vormaligen Betreiber, aber abgespeckt und mit erkennbar anderer Preispolitik auffällige Wahrnehmungen. So muss man Beilagensalate überwiegend dazu bestellen, natürlich gegen Aufpreis auf die ohnehin deutlich teurer gewordenen Hauptgerichte. Diese werden mit knapp unter 20 Euro einsteigend und tendenziel deutlich darüber bepreist. Die Erwartung, in altbekannter Qualität efreut zu werden, erfüllte sich jedoch nicht. So waren die Portionen eher kleiner (weniger Fleisch, dafür mehr Beilagen ... ergeben auch einen optisch gut gefüllten Teller) geraten. Sodass man leider ein nicht passendes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis feststellen muss. Die Qualität der Gerichte, die wir an einem 6er-Tisch hatten wurde zwischen "na ja" und "könnte besser sein" bewertet oder anders ausgedrückt, hatte dass mit der bekannten Qulität nicht mehr viel zu tun. Zwar Schmackhaft und gut gewürzt, aber das Fleisch überwiegend zu lange gebraten oder gegrillt, somit trocken und schon leicht zäh. Schade, denn das Fleisch selbst verriet noch eine gute Ursprungsqualität. Die Getränke überwiegend wie bekannt - typische Weine aus Griechenland und (neu) aus Georgien (als Hinweis auf die Herkunft des neuen Betreibers gedacht?). Aber die Preise, mit Ausnahme der Biere und der alkoholfreien Getränke, knackig nach oben angepasst. Der Einstieg bei 6,20 Euro mag noch innenstadtüblich sein. Aber ein gängiger Naoussa für 8,40 Euro (0,2 l) das Glas aus der gastronomischen Großflasche eingeschenkt kann hinterfragt werden (bei einem Literpreis im Handel für Endverbraucher von ca. 12,00 Euro? Deutsche Weine -ohne Herkunfts- und Jahrgangsangaben- mit 29,00 Euro die Flasche zu bepreisen ist schon anspruchsvoll. Und erschwert wurde der Genuss des Abends durch einen höchst unprofessionellen Service, der sichtlich überfordert schien. Unbeholfen im Verhalten, sprachlich beidseitig nur schwere Verständigung (folglich mit Missverständnissen bei der Umsetzung der Bestellungen) möglich, ohne System arbeitend und unaufmerksam. Negativ abgerundet wurde das Bild durch offensichtliche Probleme in der Küche, die bestellten Speisen in angemessener Zeit zur Verfügung zu stellen. Waren die Wartezeiten bei den Getränken schon zu lang oder um eine Bestellung aufzugeben, aber für die Bereitstellung der Speisen bis zu 90 Minuten zu benötigen, lässt große Probleme in der Küche vermuten. Diese Wahrnehmung bezog sich nicht nur auf unseren Tisch, sondern auf alle Tische, die an dem Abend besetzt waren. Die Entschuldigung am Ende, dass die Küche heute Probleme hatte, ist ehrenwert ... aber mit Blick auf vorausgegangene Bewertungen auf diesem Portal, war das nicht das einmalige Vorkommnis, sondern scheint ein chronisches Problem zu sein. Alles in allem fällt es schwer über ein zweite Chance nachzudenken. Schade - denn das Naxos war nach unserer Einordnung einer der besten griechischen Restaurants in Mainz. Das Niveau zu erreichen bedarf noch erheblicher Anstrengungen und Veränderungen. Eigentlich müsste die Bewertung "ausreichend" abschließen - "mangelhaft wäre unfair", aber an "befriedigend" müsste das Team noch arbeiten!

We had a great evening at this Greek restaurant! The food was really tasty, especially the mixed plate with different types of meat and potatoes - perfectly prepared and juicy, not a bit dry. The prices are fair, which makes the overall package even more attractive. The service was friendly, although she could have been a little more attentive. Since the restaurant was full, we would recommend a reservation. All in all, a recommended place for Greek cuisine!

Very tasty 😋, very nice staff! Possibility to taste Georgian cuisine. Thank you, it was a pleasant evening!

Our visit here was rather disappointing: 1. Language barrier with both waitresses, which made ordering difficult 2. 1 x drink brought incorrectly & beer poorly tapped, very foamy 3. Main courses arrived shortly after the starters came to the table 4. In terms of taste, these were at best in the lower midfield, gyros from the pan, bifteki very dark, steak quite dry & tough and potatoes oily 5. Quite high price for mediocre quality 6. The interior design cannot be identified as a Greek restaurant and everything is quite old 7. Last but not least, acceptance of a voucher advertised via NeoTaste was refused Absolutely worst restaurant experience in a long time, thanks for nothing.

Best restaurant in Mainz service perfect personal smile face and thank for uzo and fantastic food and atmosphere

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and employees.

Very tasty and fresh food. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Very nice staff. I highly recommend it

We used to go to Naxos regularly, still among the older couple. The man cooked himself. We always ate a bifteki with Metaxa sauce. Today, under the new owner, not only is the side salad missing (okay the prices are rising everywhere), but the (Greek) taste is simply missing. Potato slices fried but soggy, Metaxa not very seasoned, Greek pasta without seasoning, Bifteki probably bought ready-made? The full service was, to say the least, non-existent and you had the impression that someone was a restaurateur here in their first week. Apart from the rudimentary language skills, at least the service staff was simply listless. Without a greeting and with reference to various reservations, we were seated at a table directly by the toilet. Only after repeated requests did we get another table, even though the restaurant was only a third full. By the way: There are no more reservations. Prices are way too high for that. Too bad Naxos…good-bye.

Had a great dinner here! Food was excellent, generous portion sizes as well. We will definitely return!

So schlecht... waren früher sehr gerne dort lecker essen aber mit dem neuen Besitzer ist das Essen icht mehr genießbar.

Dined here last night with a large group and had a wonderful time! The whole experience was excellent! Zurra the owner took great care of us, the staff was attentive and the meals were all made to order and cooked to perfect!

Muss mich hier leider den anderen negativen Kommentaren anschließen. Essen war teilweise noch sehr gut wie früher aber nicht so ganz. Der Preis ist nicht mehr gerechtfertigt. Personal ist total überfordert leider und hat wohl auch nicht mehr die Kraft auf Beschwerden einzugehen. Lange Wartezeit und viele schlecht gelaunte Gäste trüben das Ambiente. War unser zweiter und letzter Versuch, seit das Restaurant einen neuen Betreiber hat. 2 Sterne, da es geschmeckt hat, aber als jemand der selbst in der Gastronomie arbeitet , konnte ich bei vielen Beobachtung wie der Service abläuft leider nur den Kopf schütteln. Zeitweise hatte ich stark das Bedürfnis einfach selbst einzuspringen. Das Essen an sich war gut.

After the owner changed, the food is no longer of the same standard, and the quantity is also manageable. In terms of price for this type of kitchen, it's at the top end. Overall, if you or a woman want to go to a "Greek" in Mainz city center, that's fine. Change on September 29, 2024: We would like to note the following in response to the owner's answer: You write that the change of ownership was 6 years ago: Strange we ie. My clothing and I asked about this when we visited the restaurant and were told that "you" have been running the restaurant for about 1 year, how does that fit with your answer to our review.

Amazing Greek food! The best moussaka I’ve ever had! All the other dishes were amazing as well!

One of the best greek restaurants I have ever been! Even better: they have Georgian wine! Having greek food with georgian wine is the perfect experience! Definitely recommend it

Restaurant ownership has changed and it is not the same place at all. The food is not good and the portions are tiny. Truly a shame.

The restaurant has changed ownership and is not the same. The food is nowhere near as good and the portions are small. I'll never go back.

Gyros with fried potatoes. For my taste there is a little bit of tzatziki and therefore a bit dry. Ambiance and location great. Service a bit reserved. Nevertheless, a very successful stay!

Above everything else, the service was super. The food was delicious and the location was also nice. There’s a gentle breeze coming from the Rhine.

It was super tasty and the service was very, very nice. The idea with the “call button” is absolutely great. We would love to come back.

Very warm owner. The fish platter was freshly prepared and is definitely recommended.

I was here for the first time with friends last night and we all really enjoyed it. Had the spicy plate as a starter and the best mousakka in a long time as the main course. 😋 Very nice owner who recommended the Saperavi wine to me. I will definitely order again next time!😊

Great food, very nice staff & boss!

No good gastronomy, bad food and way too expensive! Every chip shop in NRW is stronger, and at half the price! Not recommended......!

Four of us ate here based on a recommendation. I have never eaten such bad, inferior and overpriced food. Plus a mini portion at amazing prices! Untasty coleslaw, no trace of homemade, meat is not fried on the (charcoal) grill but in the pan and is far dry, gyros, speechless, more like pan gyros than from a rotisserie (I've never had a Greek one), bifsteak to the point of poop... , potato slices soaked in fat and unseasoned, somehow all types of meat tasted the same! The operators don't care about the guests, no hello, no smile. Four of us sit on the terrace with a bottle of Jack Daniels, smoke and play on our cell phones, audible to all guests. The waitresses make an effort and you can almost feel sorry for them because they become a buffer for the miserable business policy and absorb all the criticism. Very sad! CONCLUSION: CHEAPEST INGREDIENTS, CHEAPEST LABOR AT TOP PRICES! NEVER EVER

Best gyros I've eaten in Germany so far. Top service and nice atmosphere.

Wir waren zu viert mit Freunden auf Empfehlung hier essen. Noch nie habe ich solch ein schlechtes, minderwertiges und überteuertes Essen zu mir genommen. Dazu eine Miniportion zu Mond-Preisen! Nichtsschmeckender Krautsalat, von selbstgemacht keine Spur, Fleisch wird nicht auf dem (Holzkohle) Grill gebraten sondern in der Pfanne und ist furztrocken, Gyros, sprachlos, eher Pfannengyros als vom Drehspies (hat ich noch nie bein Griechen), Bifsteak zum kot..., Kartoffelscheiben in Fett getränkt und ungewürzt, irgendwie haben alle Fleischsorten gleich geschmeckt! Die Betreiber interessieren sich nicht für die Gäste, kein Hallo, kein Lächeln. Sitzen zu viert auf der Terrasse mit einer Flasche Jack Daniels, rauchen und spielen für alle Gäste hörbar am Handy. Die Bedienungen geben sich Mühe und können einem schon fast leid tun da diese zum Prellbock für die miserable Geschäftspolitik werden und die ganze Kritik abfangen. Sehr traurig! FAZIT: BILLIGSTE ZUTATEN,BILLIGSTE ARBEITSKRÄFTE ZU SPITZENPREISEN! NEVER EVER

We recently went to this Greek restaurant and have to say it was a real hit! The food was simply fantastic. Everything tasted great and you can tell that they really cook with love here. The service was also top. The waitress was very nice and friendly. You immediately felt welcome and the atmosphere in the restaurant was super relaxed - just the right thing to spend a cozy evening. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant. If you like delicious Greek food in a pleasant environment, you should definitely stop by here!

Not the most attractive restaurant, but good food and good service

I used to come here some years ago when the food quality, the amount and the service were way better. As I came back this time, it was a big surprise of a very small food portion, to compare with any other Greek restaurants in the city, the quality, and the service with no smiles.

Great service, good prices, great atmosphere! Recommend!

I often go to this place, the food is very tasty and the staff are friendly. I really like the place. I advise you to come try

Not bad food, nice service. Location and furnishings not incredible.

The food itself is good, as is the service, but the prices for a “tavern” are noticeably expensive. Unfortunately, despite the location and quality, I don't think more than €20 for the main courses is justified for Mainz. Even in Frankfurt you don't pay that much.

Naxos offers an exceptional dining experience with its warm ambiance, attentive staff, and delicious, authentic Greek cuisine. Every dish, from appetizers to desserts, was flavorful and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!

Naxos Tavern impresses with its authentic ambience and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The service is fast, friendly and always attentive. The location is centrally located and easy to reach. The food is outstanding, freshly prepared and full of flavor. Particularly noteworthy is the hospitable owner, whose warmth makes every visit a special experience. Always my pleasure!

Just been there, discovered it spontaneously while passing through Mainz The food was fresh and well prepared

I LOVE this restaurant!!! I always get the salmon but friends love what they order as well.

Great Greek with delicious and fresh dishes. Was very satisfied!

Souvlaki: kleine Portion! Und pro Spieß hat sich zu den 3 Stücken Schweinefilet auch 1 Stück (vermutlich) Bauchfleisch gesellt. Unerhört! Kartoffelscheiben fad und ölig. Zaziki war muffig. Gigantes als Hauptgericht war ebenso winzig und geschmacklich Untergrenze. Beide Gerichte waren nur lauwarm. Habe noch nie so schlecht griechisch gegessen. Nie wieder!

Very good food, nice service, always happy, definitely worth a visit

Food very tasty. Portions are not overly large for the high price, but sufficient. Unfortunately, the service wasn't on point. But all in all good.

Food was good but too expensive

Great food here in Mainz. The boss is very personable and very approachable. Always fresh and excellent quality.

Thank you very much, a very good restaurant, the food is delicious, the prices are acceptable, the atmosphere is pleasant, the quality of the products corresponds to the prices. What we tried was very tasty. Many thanks to the restaurant management

Der Service ist unaufmerksam und wenig Kompetent. Obwohl das Restaurant leer war, mussten wir ständig auf uns aufmerksam machen, um etwas bestellen zu können. Das Essen war enttäuschend und dem Preis nicht angemessen. Auf unserer Kritik wurde überhaupt nicht eingegangen, sondern einfach zur Kenntnis genommen. Als Gast erwartet man, dass der Chef das Gespräch mit den Gästen sucht. Das war das letzte mal, das wir Gast im Naxos waren. Wir bedauern das sehr, da wir vor dem Wechsel der Pächter, Stammgäste im Naxos waren.

The Naxos Tavern has been a renowned address for Mainz fans of Greek cuisine for decades. The change of ownership hasn't changed anything, on the contrary. Even if some people don't like the rustic atmosphere that has developed over decades, we always feel comfortable. The Georgian landlord is very hospitable, always in a mood to chat and the friendly waitresses are on their toes. We've never had long waiting times here. The food is excellent, really tastes like Greece. The only downer, the relatively high prices, is not the fault of the landlord, but of the excessive government, which, in addition to the planned inflation, has now also increased the tax on catering. You have to be grateful that the quality isn't reduced to keep the price down. Conclusion: we always like to come back.

The meat is fresh and the service is fantastic!

A fabulous local gem that surprised us with incredible service and wonderful food! We left super full and completely satisfied with fresh ingredients and local love!!

Unfortunately the operator changed a year or two ago - quality is only average, prices are overpriced. For this quality, he should only charge half as much. We definitely won't come back! Answer to the answer: There will be no next time!

Exceptional food and service! Never fails to impress with their delicious dishes and amazing staff.

Was recommended this restaurant by a surprising amount of locals and other tourists, they said it was some of the best greek food they’ve ever had. So I had to try it. I was not disappointed. I couldn’t believe how incredible the flavors were, it was insane. I’m watering at the mouth just thinking about it. Unforgettable! Staff were very very friendly and helpful. If you’re in Mainz I HIGHLY recommend trying this place out. You definitely will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for such a great experience and food! 10 out of 10!!!!

The food is good but not really worth the prices. The service is great though.

Such a shame, I've known Naxos for several years and the service and food quality were outstanding! Point!!! Now neither the service nor the food is anywhere near the prices advertised. The waitress doesn't understand half of them, the potato slices come from the kitchen half raw and dripping with grease. The meat at Bifteki is over-seasoned, undercooked and there is no trace of cheese. I'm really sorry because I think inflation and VAT. cause that. But we can't come anymore as long-time regulars, sry 🥲

The very good reviews are not entirely understandable for us. It started with communication with the employee, who didn't understand us. Gyros baked with cheese were unheard of here. After consulting with the boss, he managed it. No fries - ok. But a salad bar or an automatic side salad - none. We don't know that about the Northern Lights. And the ouzo is on the table as soon as you order it. So we ordered two, but in the end they weren't charged - positive. The restaurant's furniture could use some modernization. In addition, there are prices that are significantly higher than in the north and, in my opinion, were too high for Mainz conditions.

The food was good. However: very expensive. We had to wait over 90 minutes for our food even though the restaurant wasn't full. The food didn't come at the same time, my friend was already halfway through when I got my food. Additionally the order was taken incorrectly and the side dishes were mixed up, when we brought this up it was mixed up again. Instead of maybe taking something off our bill as an apology, an additional €6.50 was added. When we raised this, we only got €2.50 back. In total we had to pay €70 for food and drinks. A pity

We discovered Naxos yesterday and were very satisfied. A restaurant that still offers full cuisine after 9 p.m. on a Tuesday is more likely to be the case in Mainz. Exception. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly and we sat comfortably outside. Dogs are welcome 😉

The staffs were soooo soooo good, perfect english, and they do not want to take any tip, very honest staffs and extremely nice. We always choose to eat inside in Germany no matter the weather.. because we do not like to deal with smokers as it is very normal to smoke in public spaces in Germany.

Everything is just perfect ♥️ Great atmosphere, extremely tasty food... Value for money is great, the portions are the perfect size...♥️
