This place was awesome. Some background first: I speak and read a bit of German, but am certainly…read morenowhere near fluent. I wandered into this place because someone had recommended it, saying the food is really good, akin to home cooking. I walked in and realized I was COMPLETELY out of my element--I didn't understand a word anyone around me was saying. The restaurant was crowded, every seat was taken. I kind of stood by the bar, where two men were running back and forth to the tables, taking orders, bring out food, etc. Finally, one turned to me and asked in German, "How can I help you?" In a small voice, in my broken German, I said hesitatingly, "A table for one, please." He stared at me, told me, "One moment," and ran into the kitchen to get his coworker who spoke English. I got seated at a communal table--on one side were a group of men in their 50s and on the other, a couple of women. The server handed a handwritten menu. Now, I can read enough German to read a menu, but for some reason couldn't make out the handwriting. I stared and asked the server (the one who didn't speak English), "What's 'spargel'?" The women on my right piped up, "That's asparagus." I smiled and said thank you, and the server walked off while i perused the menu... He came back and asked me what I would like. I asked for some more time, and he looked at me, told me to follow him. So I did... And he proceeded to walk me around the entire restaurant, smiling and pointing at other patrons' plates, basically giving me a visual menu: "This is chicken! With potatoes!" "That's steak! With potatoes!" (There were a lot of potatoes. And asparagus.) The other diners, after looking confused for a few seconds, realized what was going on and sat back with benevolent smiles on their faces, amused at the lost American girl. My face turned bright red, I smiled and hastily chose the steak and potatoes and sat back down, where i proceeded to have a great conversation with the group of men on my left, debating whether American or European politics were more messed up. All in all, a great night at a place with great food and great people. I would definitely love to go back here if I'm in Frankfurt again.

It is okay, but nothing special…read more If there is anything special about it, it is the history of the place and the owners. It seems to be always fully booked (at least when I was there) and it starts to clear at around 10pm. People also tend to eat early there, because when we arrived at 20h30, everyone else was finished eating already. For a traditional German restaurant with such drinks as apfelwein and food such as greensauce, it is an okay place to visit. To me, this place is not remarkable and therefor I won't revisit it anytime soon; too many other places to enjoy.

Authentic and delicious are the words that come to mind. If you are looking for a relaxed and…read moreunique experience, this is the place. Friendly and helpful staff, especially since we are limited in our German skills. We had the eggplant appetizer (#2) served with pita bread. It was a delightful dish! The combination of spices with this dish were not overwhelming but complimented the dish very well. The chef even gave us a complimentary appetizer that included fresh herbs, cheese, radishes and onions. A fresh balance of flavor a to counter that of the eggplant. For dinner we had chicken skewer marinaded in saffron lemon (#47) served with rice and a small side salad. A light tangy flavored chicken with a light and fluffy rice. The side salad had an exquisite dressing. More of a vinaigrette and again, light and tangy. The other dish was (#68). It was a chicken dish with rice. The chicken was served in a baking dish with an AMAZING sauce!!! The flavor a in this dish really gave my tastebuds a burst of joy! The portion sizes were ample and almost too much. Prices were reasonable and again the staff was great. I highly recommend this place if you are searching to experience great food and service.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in FRA. Every time I'm back, we have dinner here. Salads are…read morelarge portions, but I would recommend ordering one of their Classic dishes. Their moussaka is a bit different than the traditional dish but still delicious. I absolutely love their bifteki!! It's a must get. Gyro is tasty too. Unfortunately no English menu but all the waiters speak English.

I know the old Omonia and liked it then. Now I think the son is running the show and you can see…read morethat he is doing well as it is always full. It's trendy and hip but not over done. The atmosphere is cosy and they also have a bar area which is really nice. I have been here already a view times and never disepointed. The last couple of times the owner even remembered me which is really a nice touch. The service is friendly. The food is good. We always order a mix starter platter for 2 and an maindish and we ask them to bring it together and we share. I know many people don't like to share but try it and you will be amazed.
