Zum Griechen - Menu

"On the way home I took a break in Norderstedt for dinner. On Ochsenzoller street I was able to park near the restaurant on the roadside. From the road to the left of the entrance you can see a tent directly attached to the house wall, which extends to the walkway and serves as a smoker room. The tent walls are reinforced from the inside with double web plates, heating devices are available. On the right of the entrance there were about five tables under parasols, the S-plant in this area is covered by a grassy carpet. In view of the good weather, I didn't want to go into the restaurant and asked a waiter just coming out of the house if I could choose a place outside. That was chased, and so I sat down at a small table in the outside. The so-called waiter was finished at the neighboring table, immediately handed me the menu released there and asked for my drink request. I ordered a special without saying whether big or small, and it was not asked. Shortly afterwards I folded the menu and promptly another waiter came to the table to pick up my order. I ordered “Lammsuvlaki with rice, freshly fried potatoes and herb salad” (13.90 €). Then it was asked again for a drink request and at the same time the first waiter came and brought the specific – naturally in the big version (0.4 l for 3.50 € and also an ouzo. Little later, a placemat made of paper was laid before me and cutlery on it. On the set there were colorful photographs from Greece with advertisements for the hotel of the restaurant owner family on Chalkidiki. Two minutes later I got the herb salad and a basket with two slices of white bread. It was a standard brew salad with a piece of cucumber, an olive and a peperoni, but with herbs pikant and very tasty tasted. While I consumed the salad, I could observe that a total of four waiters were in use, who were somewhat uncoordinated in places, as in the example with my beverage order. Frequent guests were partially greeted by hand, partly also with shoulder knocks, and over time I could notice that apart from me there were almost only regular guests in this restaurant. One of the waiters sat down with a (stem guest, who probably wanted to pick up food, to a table in the outside area and both smoked a cigarette. The main course was served before I had poured the salad. The two spits with the lamb cubes looked very good and were perfectly grilled, and there were two slices of herbal butter. The fried potatoes in slices were also very good, but could have had some salt. Unfortunately there was neither on my table nor on one of the tables near salt and pepper shakers, and at that time all waiters were not visible for a whole time. The rice also on the plate was soft to name almost musky, some corn grains and peas were mixed in and an almost tasteless tomato sauce was tasteless over it. After a first test bite, I left this mass aside and concentrated on meat and potatoes. Since the waiters were not to be seen during the meal, there was no question whether everything was okay. When cleansing it was asked whether it tasted, the complaint about the rice was taken note of with an axle. My subjective impression of the service is that gentlemen have been doing this job too long and that over time some small negligence has become grounded. The ambience in this small “beer garden” is so la la la and suffers from strong traffic noise, the cleanliness in this outdoor area is fine. Conclusion: A Greek restaurant like many others, without significant uniqueness, the food is good, apart from rice, the service with small negligences and also the ambience with weaknesses."
