"A Greek restaurant, without the usual cheesy columns and arches, with well-tasting dishes for the simple Greek farmhouse. Very friendly staff. Two times a year, a former round of a former working group meets for a common meal and clones, and another restaurant is always selected. This time the Bochum colleague was entrusted with the invitation. Location: Located in Bochum, on the very busy main road Wittener Straße 265, a small beer garden in front of the house, parking on the street and on the adjacent parking lot of the Sparkassenfiliale. Ambience: After entering through the entrance, the space is divided into two areas, right hand tables and counters, left hand an open space and another open space behind it. Dark leather-covered chairs with high backrest, many two-piece tables that can be easily assembled into a large seating round, these bright brown tables, covered with beige sets, white paper napkins equipped with fork and knives, a slender silver-colored candlestick with white candle, a slender cylindrical glass vase with a rose in it. The floor of beige and patterned tiles, probably a remnant from the 70s or 80s, on the large windows red curtains, the passage doors have dark wooden frames. Overall a nice and welcoming impression. Service: Very friendly and cordially welcomed by the presumed owner. She taught us the reserved tables, accompanied us the whole evening and was supported by two young people, a female, a male, probably family member. The chosen dishes: As usual in all Greek restaurants, a comprehensive menu with the usual Greek dishes, even the obligatory acropolis plate was not missing. I didn't have a high expectation of Greek cuisine. In advance there was an ouzo per person, then some bread and an aioli dip, unfortunately for the large number of persons too small in the amount. I ordered a Zaziki in advance, €2.90, then I chose the Paros cellar, €12.90. The Zaziki was neat, fresh, good in consistency and stimulated appetite. My main food of the Paros cellar consisted of: Gyros, Souvlaki, Souzouaki, French fries and salad. Everyone was questioned by the owner, with which vinigrette he wants to have the salad, I decided for the classic variant with oil and vinegar. Salad as evoked, classic and rustic, 1 cucumber slice, 1 tomato slice, herb salad, onion, a dried tomato, roasted bread cubes, green salad and green lollo. Unfortunately, lettuce in the vinigrette. The grill plate, as usual, overloaded, served on a square white porcelain plate, the fries very freshly frit, bright, outside crispy, inside still soft, very good. The Gyros beautifully chessed, quite delicate, very well seasoned, a souvlakis shoot, the meat was unfortunately a bit dry, as well as a strong wort and the Souzouaki, an actual frikadelle, very strongly seasoned, the minced meat inside still slightly pink. The grill plate was shown with red raw onion pieces. I liked it, according to my expectations. However, this Greek cuisine, which is actually a rustic farmhouse, cannot be expected to be a great one. The food was taken with an ouzo, both went to the house. Dessert: A dessert I have no longer ordered, the amount of enjoyed food was plentiful enough, woodjacks would certainly have their joy in these quantities. Beverages: I ordered mineral water from the Appolinaris Medium brand, 0.3 l, 2.20 € Cleanliness: Complete in any way, including toilets, no complaints. Conclusion: Whoever likes the rustic Greek cuisine with the overboarding plates is well removed here. The quality of the dishes was fine. The service was friendly and the restaurant was well off from the usual Greek " vaulted bunkers" through its ambience. My review: 3 – if it results again (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – again, 5 – definitely again – after “Kuechenreise”"
