Taverna Phaestos

I have great passion for the Greek cuisines and have tried at different restaurants after viewing the Google maps reviews. But this place was a heart breaking experience. I ordered their specialty dish with fresh lamb shank recommended by the waiter and costs 18.90 Euro. Aesthetically they dish look great but it tastes so bad. It has an bad oily flavour(probably old ingredients). The funny thing is that, their was no lamb shank instead few (3) small pieces of lamb that does not even taste fresh. It only got large pieces of potatoes and vegetables. They whole dish probably cost them 3 Euro to prepare since the lamb was scarce in the dish. I formed the same to the waiter and she said nothing can be done and give a cold attitude. What they did was worse than robbery. The dish was not worth the money you pay. I felt like I was served with the left over food from the previous days. What makes me wonder is the good reviews. Either I was very unlucky or they basically bought the reviews.

Where do I begin.
We Googled greek restaurants and Taverna Phaestos popped up.
So we decided to try the place out.
A very modern restaurant was presented to us on our arrival.
The food is out of this world and I'd go as far to say, it was the best meal I've ever had.
The service was second to none and I'd wish I'd got the hosts name as he made us feel so welcome.
An absolute gem of a place. Which I'd highly recommend. It was that good. We booked again tomorrow.
A must!!!!

Great service, friendly staff.
We order Greek salad which was very fresh. And gyros, the meat was well cooked and the best potatos ; and not expensive.
Would totally come back again ????

I didn’t like the food much and I thought it was a bad interpretation of Greek food. Also, I ordered a coka cola and it came in a glass like Mac Donald’s. Overall I found everything very expensive.

We walked in famished, cold and weary... after an entire day of exploring Berlin. We were seated by this lovely lady, and offered the English menu. The food was incredible! Köstlich is the German word that would summarise this meal. The service was very warm and friendly. After a really frigid day, this was ambrosia. Highly recommend!
