Akropolis — Restaurant in Frederiksberg Municipality

[English version] We visited Akropolis on a chilly Friday evening, hoping for a relaxing Greek dinner after a long week. Unfortunately, disappointment set in right from the start. Upon arrival, there was no greeting, no “welcome,” not even a glance of acknowledgment. The staff member at the counter seemed more focused on explaining the cash register system to a colleague than on the guests waiting to be seated. After seating ourselves, it took quite a while before anyone came to take our order. When they finally did, there was still no warmth or friendliness to be found. We ordered calamari as a starter and a mixed grill for the main course, accompanied by a glass of house red wine and a beer. To their credit, the dishes were served fairly quickly, and the food offered decent value for money — perhaps the only positive note of the evening. However, a visit to the restroom quickly spoiled that impression. It was dirty, unhygienic, and carried an unpleasant smell — simply unacceptable for any restaurant. After finishing our main course, we asked for the dessert menu, which was brought to the table. Yet no one ever returned to take our order. After waiting in vain, we eventually decided to pay and leave. The farewell was just as impersonal as the welcome. No one asked if we enjoyed our meal, no thank you, no goodbye — just silence. Conclusion: Akropolis serves food that’s fair for the price, but the service ruins the experience. Unfriendly, indifferent, and disengaged. Half a point for prompt serving, but otherwise a visit we’d rather forget. We won’t be returning.

[Danish version] Vi trådte ind på Akropolis en kølig fredag aften med håbet om en hyggelig græsk middag efter en travl uge. Desværre blev vi hurtigt skuffede. Ved ankomsten blev vi hverken budt velkommen eller mødt med et smil. Medarbejderen bag disken var mere optaget af at forklare kassesystemet for en kollega end af gæsterne, som stod og ventede. Efter selv at have fundet os en plads, gik der alt for lang tid, før nogen kom for at tage imod vores bestilling – og heller ikke her var der nogen varme eller imødekommenhed at spore. Vi bestilte calamaris som forret og mixed grill som hovedret, sammen med et glas rød husvin og en øl. Maden blev serveret forholdsvis hurtigt, og kvaliteten stod mål med prisen – faktisk det eneste positive indslag på aftenen. Et besøg på toilettet ændrede dog hurtigt stemningen igen: beskidt, uhygiejnisk og med en ubehagelig lugt. Ikke acceptabelt i et restaurantmiljø. Efter hovedretten ønskede vi dessert og fik bragt kortet – men der kom aldrig nogen tilbage for at tage imod bestillingen. Efter at have ventet længe opgav vi og bad om regningen. Afslutningen var lige så upersonlig som starten. Ingen spurgte, om alt havde været i orden, og ingen sagde tak for besøget. Konklusion: Akropolis leverer mad, der er rimelig til prisen – men servicen trækker det hele ned. Uvenlig, uopmærksom og uden engagement. Et halvt point for den hurtige servering, men ellers en oplevelse, vi helst glemmer. Vi vender...

We was celebrating New Year in this Greek restaurant. Surprised from the atmosphere, it was almost perfect. We were dancing and singing, drinking Uzo and eating tzatziki after 5-6 time asking if we can become them, because we didn't liked the Menu what they had. It was really good, we had a great time but we were a little bit scared when they asked us for which country are we coming 😬 We are Macedonians but because 95% of the guests were Greeks we just lied, why we didn't want any trouble or ruin the night ( we were warned about getting in trouble if we say from where we are coming). I think that in any restaurant, there is no space for...

This place is fantastic. Very reasonably priced. The best martini I’ve had in ages. The food is so special and very authentic. In particular try the stifado, spanakopita, and giant prawns. To make a nice evening perfect, the staff fussed over my daughter, bringing her a banana split and lollipops to finish. When my husband paid the bill, they gave us dessert wine on the house. Having a young child, it’s not often we go out. We had an occasion to celebrate and they made it truly special....
