"You can go to the Greeks once and twice a year. The time was back after the long Coronashutdown, and we tried to catch a place in the nearby Bautzen at one of the two local Greeks. After I called several times in vain at business times, writing emails, then someone actually came forward and called me back. One of the chiefs explained to me that they leave from the end of July until the beginning of September. And this at both restaurants in Bautzen. Oha, they don't seem necessary after the long coronary break. We didn't want to go to the big city in Dresden, the next Greeks in Lauta or Hoyerswerda were too far away, so our former district town of Kamenz remained. There are also two Greek restaurants, one with the Camerooners themselves. So we go back to the “Athen” where we were the last time 4 years ago. Nothing has happened to the exterior appearance of the building, so to speak it has not become better. The stairwell, already sloppy 4 years ago, is not really going. All right, the Greek is here only tenants in the block...... Restaurant up above in the restaurant then finally arrived, we are greeted by a young lady, and guided to our reserved place. The restaurant as well as the beer garden on the roof terrace are well filled. But here too, the time seems to have stopped, and you could have used the corona break for the renovation of the guest room and the replacement of the old, well-established furniture. Well... After 5 minutes we get the lush, typical Greek menu as well as the obligatory welcome ouzo. The drinks were pretty fast clear, so it should be for me a 0.4ér Greek Olymp Beer for 3,20 €, Greek Olymp Beer the girls wished as a cocktail the Mai Tai for 6,00 €, the swimming pool for 6,00 € and a Grand Slam for 4,50 €. My wife preferred a lap white Demestica for 4,00 €. Cocktails The drinks were 5 minutes later, so we could order our dishes. As appetizers, the champignon heads were once filled with spinach, feta, minced cheese baked for 6,50 € and the “Rolla”, baked ham, filled with cheese Tzatziki for 4,80 € were desired. As main dishes it should be the “Zeus Teller” with Gyros, stuffed Suflaki and filled Souzouki for 12,90 €, once the “Gyros Samos”, Gyros with special sheep cheese baked with sliced potatoes salad for 12,50 € and twice the “special plate” with 1 steak, 1 lamb chop, 1 Souzouki, 1 filled suflaki beans. Instead of rice, however, we wished pancakes. There is a salad plate for each dish. This came at the same time with the appetizers about 20 minutes after ordering. During this waiting period, I had enough time to ask the internet where the Greek Olymp Beer is made. I was astonished that this one is made near a Lausitzer brewery: [here link] Mmmmh, learn something again. Now to our appetizers. The “Rolla” were 6 rolls of panned and baked cooked ham, filled with spicy, creamy cheese and presented on a large tack Tzatziki. “Rolla” panned, baked ham, filled with cheese Tzatziki Rolla But much more delicious were the 6 fresh mushroom heads, which were filled with fresh spinach, plentiful feta and minced meat and were additionally baked with cheese. Champignon heads filled with spinach, feta, minced cheese baked Only the salad plate was not so dolle here. The leaf salad already welck, the green cucumber overripe, the white and red herb pure convenience goods, plus a thick, undefined dressing bah... Salad leaf The main dishes were a short hour after ordering at the place, which is still ok with full house with appetizers. The “Gyros Samos” was a large skating form, which was filled with plenty of juicy, well seasoned gyros and was baked with abundant “special” sheep cheese. There was a plate with spicy, crawling pancakes. “Gyros Samos”, Gyros with special sheep cheese baked with sliced potatoes salad The “Zeus Teller” was equipped with freshly roasted, well seasoned gyros, cheese-filled suflaki (actually a meat skewer and also cheese-filled souzouki (Greek minced meat). Add plenty of fresh onion, a big stick Tzatziki and again the well seasoned and crowned slice potatoes. Unfortunately, the Souzouki as well as the Suflaki were too long on the stove, making it a little too dry. “Zeus Plate” with Gyros, filled Suflaki and filled Souzouki The “special plate” was well equipped with 1 steak, 1 lamb chop, 1 souzouki and 1 filled suflaki. Thick beans in a spicy-creamy sauce and Tzatziki as well as, as desired, slice potatoes. Here were Souzouki as well as the Suflaki in order, for that the lamb was probably too long on the pasture. This was greasy and shiny, so even I read off. “Special Plate” with 1 Steak, 1 lamb chop, 1 Souzouki, 1 filled Suflaki with sliced potatoes and thick beans After 2.5 hours, the place was quite orphaned by now, we hoped we could have a drink, but unfortunately we were left by the boss who took the place half an hour ago from his service. For this, he rushed up to the neighboring table in a loud way over the “force” for corona vaccination and obliged with the guests at the neighboring table to avoid this compulsion. We got too much dizziness, and we demanded the bill to drink, we hadn't gotten anything for a while. The bill was added to us in passing, the farewell souvenir, which had received all the other tables before, was forgotten by us, or at the neighboring table with loud Coronadictaturmeckerei. Our conclusion: from the food we were already better used here. The Gaststube has come down quite a bit, the Coronage whirl at the end went to the mind. Overall, we left 108 euros in Kamenz, but the next 4 years we will certainly no longer come here. Let's hope that the newly opened Greek in Pulsnitz will do its thing, otherwise it will go back to Bautzen, if they don't leave again."
