I had high hopes for an authentic taste of Greek cuisine, but unfortunately, my experience fell short.

Opting for the moussaka, I was disappointed to find it lacking the traditional presentation in a clay pot. The dish itself tasted reheated and dry, failing to capture the essence of Greek flavors. This disappointment extended to the dessert, which shared the same dry and tasteless qualities.

Despite these culinary letdowns, I found solace in the warmth and friendliness of the staff. The wine tasting offered a redeeming aspect, with enjoyable selections and the olives and vegan feta cheese were highlights of the meal.

Overall, while [Restaurant Name] excels in hospitality and offers some pleasant accompaniments like wine and appetizers, the main dishes failed to deliver the expected Greek culinary experience, leaving much to be desired.

I don’t understand how this place has good reviews. The food is bad and the owner is rude. He wonders why people don’t tell him the food is bad to his face but doesn’t understand that is uncomfortable.

What a dissappointment. Food was cold and it was very average for the high cost. They messed up with both of our orders and tried to charge us extra.

NOTE: The restaurant got my review removed in Google maps. This helps explain their high rating.

The food is overpriced. I went with my Greek partner and she wisely suggested we just eat a little before going elsewhere. The gigantes were swimming in a pretty bland tomatoes salsa and the fava spread was an underwhelming hummus. The glutenfree crackers are an on device in their own but felt like a let down when it would have otherwise been pita bread. Didn't get the vibe that it was a Greek run restaurant. Felt very 'modern' and without personality in that all too common way.

It might be better if you're a celiac.

The food alone is worth a higher note (the moussaka is truly delicious) but the overall experience was a nightmare. Although we had reserved we had to share a table with another couple because the restaurant was overbooked. The owner took our order then forgot it, we waited half an hour to get drinks and then another hour to get food (we actually had to re-order since our first order had been lost). I’m pretty sure the owner was under the influence of some drugs. At the end of the evening he seated on the stair, shouting at the staff and talking nonsense, which made us really unconfortable.

Don’t waste your time by going there. It is just not worth your visit. Bad and expensive, mean boss. Just choose another of the many vegan places around

As friends of Greek cuisine and vegans, we visited the restaurant after making a reservation by phone. Nevertheless, we had to wait in the cramped dining room in front of the bar before we were allocated a seat in the even more cramped basement in front of the toilet. Unfortunately, the food was also very disappointing. Not a hint of Mediterranean flavor. The millet balls with tzatziki turned out to be little brown patties that resembled burnt potato chips. The tzatziki itself was made from coconut yogurt; there was not a hint of garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt or pepper to be tasted. But coconut certainly doesn't taste typically Greek. The moussaka and pastizio also lacked seasoning, it simply tasted lame. The prices are the only thing in this restaurant that is really steep for the service.

We had the moussaka and the pastizio. Both are dishes topped with bechamel and cheese of which there was just as much of as the main part of the dishes. The milletballs were not balls however they were super tasty and came along with the tzatziki which was the best part of the night.
Unfortunately we also witnessed our very nice server being treated badly by her colleagues. As someones working in service myself, this is impossible to ignore and makes for a bad vibe in the restaurant.

Side note: their make shift outdoor bar setup was stored in the toilets.

Being in Berlin again and TCLG getting shown to me again and again I can't help but remember my very unfortunate Experience with this one. The Seating can be uncomfortable if you get seated in the Cellar, especially under the Stairs, and our Food (Moussaka) was tasty, but served entirely cold, so was clearly pre-prepared Hours before in Preparation for the Evening. There wasn't a Way to point it out without having to get up and walk up several Stairs as we were in the Cellar and no Service Personnel was there. For that it wasn't important enough.

The Experience would not have been as terrible if it hadn't been for the Aftermath. After I left a 3-Star-Rating on Google, the Owner, seemingly a unpleasant and uncompromising Character, started making up Lies about them having given us Price Reductions and free Drinks and Desserts to compensate and that we just couldn't be satisfied. After correcting the false Claims of the Owner (remember: We didn't even point out our cold Food while there), my Rating was removed for Deformation. So this is one of those Restaurants abusing the DSA to increase their Ratings by removing all Ratings that aren't overwhelmingly positive.
