It's not a fast-food joint! You should definitely take your time to enjoy the meal!

The service during our visit was very friendly and attentive; the staff really makes an effort to please each guest and make you feel welcome. We were a bit ambivalent about the food, however. The fish platter for two people is quite expensive at over €50 and didn't quite meet our expectations – the fish mostly seemed frozen, and the flavor was unfortunately a bit bland and lacking in particular refinement. The gyro was also quite fatty and not quite as flavorful as hoped; I would have preferred a bit more quality here. The side dishes and the fact that the restaurant is very clean and well-run deserve special mention. The atmosphere also scores points thanks to the friendly staff, who remain calm and always helpful even when the crowds are large. In summary: If you value a pleasant atmosphere and good service, Elektra is the right place for you. We would have liked the food to be a little fresher and more original – but overall, the visit was okay, although there was room for improvement.
