Well lets just say that none of us hated it but it was fairly ordinary, run of the mill food for sure, totally bizarre menu which is half greek and half Italian with a bit of german thrown in for good measure!The food is ok and the service we got was actually very good but such an unusual place!

Wir waren inzwischen mehrmals in dieser Taverne, die von einer sehr warmherzigen Familie geführt wird und authentische griechische Küche anbietet, die weit über die 'vom Griechen um die Ecke' gewohnten Standards hinausgeht. Meine besondere Empfehlung: Den auf viele kleine Schalen verteilten Querschnitt durch die traditionellen Speisen (Meze) für 15 € pro Person (steht nicht explizit in der Karte, einfach fragen) - dann hat man sofort einen guten Überblick. Mittlerweile unser Stammlokal an der Lahnaue, in dem wir auch bei größter Hitze angenehm luftig unter einer schönen Birke verweilen können.

This restaurant is by the owner of Aura in Giessen, which burned down. The interior is really something quite impressive, a huge burst of eclecticism right in the centre of town.The food is very good, broad range of Greek and Greek-inspired dishes, while there are some decent wines, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Reviewed By Peabrain2013

I was sceptical when I saw the other reviews but this was really a decent Greek restaurant. Absolutely packed! Even though we were told we might have to wait 20min, we had a table within 10 minutes. Classical Greek décor, portions the size of the olymp, loads of very nicely grilled meats, a huge menu! Absolutely everything I expected, no more, no less. Including the free grappa! They even had a parking guide outside to make sure there is enough room for all cars! Will come here again!

Knossos

Reviewed By 59apostoliss

Unlikely with most Greek restaurants which unfortunately offer gyros and mousaka Knossos is the best ambassador of Mediterranean high Niveau dishes. We were happy and delighted to have dinner there, the place is recognized from locals as the best restaurant in Giessen. Choose what ever you like from the Menü it’s fantastic.
