Chez Anesti — Restaurant in Evere

Unfortunately, both me and my wife had aggressive food poisoning symptoms during the night after having dinner at this place (and still in effect some days later). For this I cannot rate the place more than 1/5. Not everyone at our table had it, so it was probably only the specific dish we ordered. We are living together with the people with whom we had dinner here, shared the same meals at home and nobody else had any symptoms. The only difference is the orders we had here.

However, there are other complaints that would have dropped the final rating: (minor) the waiter spilled my wife's drink in my father's lap -- we received complementary alcoholic drinks at the end; I appreciate the gesture, but not really necessary - if we wanted more alcohol we would've ordered it. I did not drink at all since I was driving, therefore not the possible reason for my sickness. (serious) there was a large group of people with a particularly distinctive individual who acted aggressive, yelling, hitting the table, throwing crumpled paper (seemed like into his wife), more or less causing a scene and a real nuisance for an extended period of time (he would calm down and then repeat) -- the staff's lack of action cut our evening short and suggested that this behavior is accepted. However, it is not accepted in the places I prefer to spend a pleasant time in.

Based on other reviews, this one is probably due to an alignment of misfortune. The staff was helpful, nice and polite, the food was good and other rooms of the restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere. Will still probably not return due to this experience, but this...

I know the place since 25 years and still visiting from time to time, so it speaks for itself. Quality food, authentic, never disappointed. However, the portion of the meat on the pita dish is simply not enough and should be a bit more compared to the price and portions on other meat dishes. I started reading other people's reviews and clearly something changed since 1 year: most people say the same thing about increased prices (understandable, due to inflation) and decreased portions (not understandable).

Suggestion: let people choose their own mixed grill, just charge by type and quantity of meat, I am sure you would sell even more and it could be a...

Perfect place if you just want a 5 euro-ish snack in fancy dishes for 20€ (2 beers, an entree and a main meal cost me 47€). This is not particularly bad but the service and the food are really not worth the very high prices.

Service is rude, had to package my doggy bag myself (with a burger case nervously thrown at my girlfriend face) and I could not pay the bill individually (with a 270€ bill for 9).

Even with high bills like this, no ouzo offered by the house like almost every greek restaurant.

Really crowded and noisy.

Would rate 3 stars if prices were divided by two, they apply same charges as lot of restaurants that are way out of the league...
