"On an early Saturday evening in mid-January 2024 we spontaneously decided to go to the Leonidas in Bochum to eat Greek as we were just nearby. At 17:00 the first guests were waiting for the entrance door. Most guests apparently had reserved. The friendly Greek and forward-looking boss of the house, who received us, could then give us a good table with an overview of the large guest room. The ambience of the Leonidas is a bit very strange and needy here you do not expect a Greek restaurant. It seems that there was a brewery industry here a long time ago or something similar or what it is called. All in the 70s/80s design dressed with dark wood and wood carvings and butt slices. But no matter what, the Old Scool Design couldn't scare us off. Distinguishing can be the 151 ! positions comprehensive menu, apparently from the last century, with children and senior plates why seniors eat something different than younger guests, who decides who is a senior? The main focus of the map is meat and pommeslastig, with what the German average citizen probably associates with Greek food: Gyros , Souzouki , Souvlaki , Bifteki and so on. Rhodes Plates, Hermes Plates, Marathon Plates, Athens Plates, Cyclops and so on come from the 1980s. But what kind of a Hawaii fillet with pineapples and Gouda has to look for in a Greek restaurant??? So whoever stands on a bunch of meat with fries and beer is definitely right here. Uniquely meat and of course pommeslastig no guest had ordered the disc potatoes customary in Greece were also the plates of the other guests this evening in January 2024. No matter what we were in the Leonidas because of the food that is more suitable for domestic Greek cuisine. So we ordered Zaziki, Taramosalata fish rogen puree, Calamariakia baby calamari with garlic cream, zander fillet for my wife yes in Northern Greece comes the freshwater fish Zander before , stifado, water, white wine Imiglykos and at the end a Greek coffee and a glass of Ouzo Pilavas. The Zaziki was better and more spicy than what else you get in Greek restaurants. Here you go. Also the fish rogen puree tasted excellent, as well as the fried babycalamari, which had a beautiful thin delicate beautifully spiced pannade. The Zanderfilet with a few shrimps and vegetable strips in white wine sauce, with rice and leaf salad with honey mustard dressing tasted good to my wife. I was particularly interested in the Apo Ton Fourno dishes from the oven and here in particular the Stifado beef stew dish with small onions, as Stifado is very rare to get in Greek restaurants. The meat was tender and the small onions were still nice to bite. The Sosse could have been a little thicker. The little peasant salad was boring. The Imiglykos was without a special character; also not half-sweet without the slightly sweet note. Unfortunately, the Greek coffee, which was very weak, was also disappointing. Pros: the host asked about the degree of sweetness of coffee, just as it is common in Greece outside the tourist centers and in Germany in good Greek restaurants, since after-sales is not possible. It was pleasing that there are Ouzo Pilavas here, because the boring industry Ouzo Ouzo 12 does not drink Greeks, only the Germans fall into advertising. Conclusion: Everything in everything for us unfortunately only medium. Who, on the other hand, wants to eat a lot of meat and fries, is probably a good thing in Leonidas. If I ever go to the Leonidas in Bochum, then only to taste the typical local Greek dishes that can also be found on the map, such as Mezes Midia Florinis , Melitzanes , Spanaki , Florinis , Kalokerino , Psiti Feta also Kalamaria , Chtapódi or Sykoti , Rigan ."

"very delicious vegan pizza, I had the bauch and was very satisfied with it. was also very tired after a 3/4 pizza. my friend was also very happy with her vegetarian whole grain pizza. the pizzeria is located at a quiet location, where there are also a few seating options. there are many cars parked, but it did not feel like parking and we could eat the pizza there relaxed."

"Zum Ambiente muss man festhalten das dieses Lokal ausgelegt ist auf Zustellung und/oder Abholung dementsprechend ist die Möglichkeit dort zu sitzen eher gering. Allerdings ist das Essen so extrem genial das man spätestens nach dem ersten Bissen eh alles rundherum vergisst. Super lecker und frisch. Sensationell sowas haben wir absolut nicht erwartet."

"Lange war es geplant mal wieder Sushi zu essen. Also ein Tisch bei Yumini in Bo bestellt. Einen Parkplatz zu finden war schon schwierig aber dann ging's mit Vorfreude in das Restaurant. Ein Kellner fragte uns bzgl. unseres Tisches nach unserem Namen, zeigte uns den Tisch und sagte, das Ipad sei in Betrieb und ging dann. Mehr wurde den ganzen Abend nicht mit uns kommuniziert! Schweigend wurden Speisen gebracht und Teller abgeräumt. Das ging jedoch recht zügig. Als die ersten Sushi gegessen waren war klar, die Qualität entspricht nicht dem Preis. Der Reis von den Nigiri war noch warm, die Sushi waren viel zu groß, teilweise schmeckte der Lachs recht fischig was bei frischem Fisch in Sushi-Qualität nicht sein dürfte oder es war verschwindend wenig Fisch in die Sushi gerollt. Die Sushi mit Avocado waren sehr lecker, überreife bis angegraute Avocadostellen wurden jedoch mit Mayonnaise überdeckt. Teilweise wurden andere als bestellte Sushi an den Tisch gebracht, die wir aber brav probierten. Die warmen Speisen rissen es leider nicht raus. Während der Bratreis sowie die gebratene Ente lecker waren, handelte es sich bei Ente mit Zwiebeln offensichtlich um Reste, die noch dazu zerfleddert und trocken daherkamen. Das Rinderfilet war Rindfleisch mit Zartmachern statt Filet und eine Garnelenkrokette erinnerte an Gummi. Immer wieder ein Ärgernis, dass die zusammen bestellten warmen Speisen nicht zusammen an den Tisch kamen, so dass wir Reis und Fleisch getrennt essen mussten. Schade! Am Ende kostete uns der Abend mit Getränken 70€ und wir hatten das Gefühl, dass es sich für den Betreiber sehr gelohnt hat. Wir haben beschlossen nun komplett auf Buffetessen zu verzichten mit der kleinen Ausnahme: Mongos in Dortmund, das ist in Ordnung!"
