Asteria Der Grieche - Magdeburg

I and my friend were here for dinner. Although we've never reserved a table, we always got a nice table. The staff were...

The restaurant is clearly catering to German market thus most of the dishes are modified. I wont be calling it authentic Greek. The salmon was yummy but the salads are bland in taste. Plus they lack vegetarian dishes somehow in the menu, which is the main backbone of Greek food!!! I found that strange. Service was friendly and prices are good. It was fine but nothing so memorable.

Never expected to find such great greek food in germany. Want to go back! It was alot of food and everything tasted wonderful!

I was lucky to be intorduced to this small restaurant by a copule of Greek colleagues who took several of us there to eat. The restaurant has two floors and as we were a large group we had the upstairs floor. We were all sat together and the organic grek wine which was ordered was lovely. The straters came out next and this was served on several large trays for us all with adequate food on each tray for 4 persons. The staff were all very polite and it was nice to speak a littel Greek to them although most of the ordering was all done by my colleagues from Athens. The tray of meat which was brought out was phenominal and an abundance of different cooked meats was on offer. I know this had been specially ordered so this may not be on the general menu on offer to the normal patrons who visit here. The staff even brought up some traditional Greek music where one of my two colleagues provided us with the entertainment showing off his dancing skills. This was a fabulous evening and the cost for 18 of us was 40 euros per person. excellent value though I dont know if this had been negotiated. The food and wine here is excellent and i would thoroughly recommend a visit if your in magdeburg.

The waiters are very rude and bring you drinks without even greeting the costumers. I asked for the list and chose a bier (Flaschen Weizen Bier) and a Tonic Water (Schweps). They bring the Drinks already on the glasses and don’t bring the bottles. At this time you can only guess what is inside. When I asked for the bill the waiter showed me his mobile phone with a final value charging more money than it was announced on the list. I asked for a ticket and he was very surprised and unsatisfied but did bring the ticket. The value was higher 0,30€ only on a drink. I showed him the ticket and the atitude was of total indifference. I left immediately. This is unacceptable, this is dishonest and it was no mistake, his behavior was wrong from the beginning. I am there to have a quiet moment of pleasure and spend my money fairly. Never coming back again.
