El Greco - Selfkant

Oh my god, I had just got back from a journey in greece when a friend of mine challenged me to give it a try and check this restaurant.Well I have to admit that I was ot disappointed at all; indeed it felt like still being in greece.Both Food and service are great and there is no way that you will not think about returning after you tried it once!!!

I've given this place a chance more than once, and was more than disappointment each time. There are a few friendly servers, but generally I was treated rudely. The place just seems rundown and tired, as the food. The food I've eaten there is about the same caliber I'd expect from afast food joint, not an eat in restaurant. No presentation at all either. There's much better Greek food to be had in the area, with cleaner facilities, friendlier staff, and the same, or better prices.

My husband and I went here after he ordered take out a few days before. We were welcomed immediately and my husband was recognized quickly. We took the requisite ouzo and ordered our meals. The zucchini appetizer was delightful; heavy on the garlic but I enjoy that. I ordered the lamb and it was seasoned well and delicious. My husband's gyro plate wasn't impressive and rather boring but otherwise it was a relaxing experience.

As soon as you walk in you feel welcomed and special. Everyone is running around at high speed to make sure you are looked after. Whisked to our table, the requisite shot of ouzo and our drink order were in and served. Our waiter was extremely helpful with the menu recommendations and we were all set for a feast of great dining.The first round was the salad and that was a nice start. Fresh and crisp, what can I say.The main courses arrived and the portions were generous and everything was nice and hot. I had the Bekri Mese . The meat was tasty but not tender, Sort of that middle ground between chewy and okay. It was supposed to be spicy but fell well short. Tasty as I said but certainly not "sehr scharf". A size chunk of frites and the vegetables in the pan were nicely done.The Mousaka was a major disappointment. Aside from it being hot there is much one can comment on in a positive sense. If there was beef in the dish we could not find it. Lots of bland bechamel sauce, a liitle egg plant, but no meat. Moreover, we were convinced it was not done in the over but rather the microwave. The sauce did not have that crunch on the edges that you get from a hot oven. The top layer and edges were chewy.Off night? Bad luck on our part on which dishes to order? Not sure but a so-so meal. I up'd it to a 3 based on the superb service

Absolutely delicious appetizers and vegetarian plate! You MUST try either the cold or warm Vorspeise Platte and share it with your table...or not. The meat dishes are wonderful too, if you like LOTS of meat. The "mixed grill" plates are a little absurd in the amount of meat you get. The staff could be a little more attentive- sometimes it can be hard to get their attention if you need another drink or more napkins, etc. And they don't have regular ketchup for the fries, only curry ketchup or mayo. So if you're a fry fan, bring your own ketchup. As for the negative review, that couple had bought the socialdeal.nl coupon for a "3-course" dinner here. I looked at that deal and it didn't seem like all that much of a deal, so I would steer clear of that "deal" and get what you really want off the menu- it won't cost much more. The prices here are totally reasonable.
