Kymata Modern - Griechisches Restaurant München — Restaurant in Munich

From the moment I entered Kymata in Munich, it was clear that this was not just another Greek restaurant; it was a culinary odyssey. The ambiance, a fusion of Greek tradition and chic modernity, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Under a canopy of stars cast by the creative lighting, each table seemed to hold its own little constellation, adding to the restaurant’s magical feel.

First Impressions

As we settled in, the vibrant atmosphere hinted at the lively spirit of Greece, with a contemporary twist visible in the sleek design and the elegant, starry lighting. The place was buzzing with energy, yet there was an intimate feel that suggested we were in for a personalized dining adventure.

Culinary Journey

The menu promised authentic Greek flavors with a modern touch, and Kymata delivered. The standout was undoubtedly the creme of fish roe, an appetizer that transported us straight to the shores of the Mediterranean with its oceanic essence. It was more than just a dish; it was an encapsulation of Greek seas - creamy, briny, and exquisitely topped with a touch of caviar that popped with flavor.

Main Attractions

The main course, a well-curated selection of grilled meats, was cooked to perfection and accompanied by perfectly seasoned sides that complemented the smoky flavors. The fries, crisp and golden, were a simple yet delightful pair to the succulent meat.

A New Favorite

Kymata has become our favorite Greek restaurant in Munich. The mastery of traditional flavors presented with a refined edge has won us over. The creme of fish roe, with its taste of the Mediterranean Sea, is now our go-to starter, a dish we’ll return for time and time again.

Conclusion

With its enchanting ambiance, superb culinary offerings, and prime location, Kymata stands as a beacon of Greek gastronomy in Munich. It’s a place that marries the warmth of Greek hospitality with the finesse of modern dining. Kymata isn’t just a meal; it’s a celebration of Greece’s culinary heritage, reimagined for the discerning palate. Despite the service setbacks, the quality of the food and the charm of the atmosphere ensure that Kymata remains not just a restaurant, but an experience – one that we’ll undoubtedly revisit.

Visuals and Personal Experience

The photos capture the essence of our experience – the joy of discovery in a new favorite spot, the anticipation of a culinary journey, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes Kymata a standout. It’s clear from the smiles and the beautifully presented dishes that Kymata is a place where good food and good times come together. Our personal tour, led by my brother-in-law, a master brewer with a deep knowledge of Greek cuisine, added an extra layer of appreciation for the authenticity and craft that goes into each dish.

In the end, Kymata has captured our hearts, and we’re already planning our next visit, eager to dive back into the flavors that remind us of the Greek sea and the spirited zest...

I would like to express some mixed feelings about this restaurant as well, especially after my friends review was intentionally taken down as being considered " defamation". We went out in April to spend some quality time together as friends. We were very surprised by how the place looks so per total (the place and the music) created a great atmosphere! The food was alright. But then the service was already from the beginning a little shady (asked for a wine menu, never received one only the waiter's recommendation, poor attitude). The cherry on top of the cake was the bill at the end. My friends and I left at different times during the night so everybody paid their own food. Most of us shared the wine and shots plus one appetizer so that should have been the only things left on the bill at the end. One of my friends stayed with me until the end and big was our surprise when we ended up paying for things we never had on our table. We also left 30 euros tips for this specific bill. When we checked outside, we immediately called our friends to check with them if any of the items belonged to them and they forgot to pay them. Everyone paid for their consumption and had the bank statement to prove it but the main waiter (the older one) only wrote on pieces of papers for two of my friends what they need to pay and for the rest they even did a bill. Meaning all the extra was even added after my friends paid. We spent more than 30 minutes to bargain with them and try to repair their wrong doing, and we were specifically not allowed to talk to the MANAGER which we later saw shouting at the waiters in a very aggressive and scary way. They first took 50 euro out from the cash drawer and threw it to us like "take this and we're good", my friend was taken in the kitchen by the elderly waiter who tried to explain the paper situation, but we didn't give up and we fixed the bill with the pen only to discover it was actually 97.3 euro difference approximately. They gave us 100 euro back and never said sorry. All of my friends that paid separately also left tips which I find even more unfair from them not to have told us to take our tips back as well. Very, very, very bad CUSTOMER...

There was an attempt to take my review down - was reinstated by Google after I provided the confirmations of the visit.

Very mixed impression overall. Booked a table for 20:30 Saturday to enjoy a girls night out (couple of them were visiting restaurant during the day, so the expectations were set high). Food-wise fantastic: Moussaka was very properly made with the good slicing and proportion of minced meat, just like home-made somewhere in Greece. The hybrid dining / party concept is a rare thing in Munich and definitely a good idea, but the execution is unfortunately below par due to several crucial moments: overall the place is rather chaotic, both with seating and navigation, unfortunately no one pays attention to anyone entering and going around. Except for a bouncer…out of curiousity, why would a restaurant in Laim have a bouncer at the entrance? full inability to speak to the people sitting directly at your table because music is blaring extremely loud and is accompanied by a full-fledge „Eurovision style“ lightshow. I love good entertainment and visual effects, but somewhere starting from 22:00. we were waiting at the bar for 20 min for supposed reservation made a week in advance as it was not enough, after ordering and receiving the first round of drinks, we were actively being asked to take our glasses and change tables as a „better fitting“ bigger male group has arrived. That was quite a surprising moment that I have never experienced anywhere else before and found it, honestly, complete nonsense of very openly prioritizing some guests over others. After all of the above no surprise that overall feel and vibe dropped at the lowest low and even some dance showtime at the end didn’t manage to...
