Große Auswahl an veganen Speisen - von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert perfekt 👌🏼 - Edit
Wir hatten die vegane Vorspeisenplatte, einen Grillteller und ein veganes Dessert und ich war im 7. Speisehimmel 😍
Read moreEndlich mal wieder griechisch essen wie früher nur noch besser, weil vegan 😋
Die Auswahl an verschiedenen Speisen lässt keine Wünsche offen.
Alle Mitarbeiter waren durchweg sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Eine absolute Empfehlung für Berlin! 👍🏼
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder. #Veganuary

Vegan Greek Food - Edit
Lovely vegan options, we could not decide so we took the mixed grill platter. The staff was super nice, could answer questions about allergens and we got free ouzo ☺️

Lovely family business - Edit
Although I only had a stay from 30mins, I felt pampered all around. The owner of the restaurant made sure I had everything I need, everything was in my favour & I was choosing the right dish.
Read moreInstead of a main course I chose two starters & they were definitely enough. I still dream of the vegan tzatziki, it's a must-have with every meal!

Vegan beim Griechen? Oh yes! - Edit
Das Restaurant bietet eine tolle Auswahl komplett veganer Speisen - Vorspeisen, diverse Hauptgerichte und kleinere Snacks,... So viel Auswahl ist man meist gar nicht gewohnt.
Read moreEmpfiehlt sich sehr für Veganer*innen, die endlich mal wieder lecker griechisch essen gehen wollen und/oder Gruppen von 'gemischten' Essgewohnheiten.
Desserts gab es bei uns zuletzt nicht in vegan, dafür aber einen kleinen süßen Gruß als Ausgleich. Der Service ist wirklich nett, sehr umsichtig und legt Wert darauf, dass alle satt, zufrieden und mit gutem Gefühl nach Hause gehen.
Wir kommen noch öfter 👍

Vegetarisch & vegan absolut top, wie es mit Allergien/Unverträglichkeiten aussieht, kann ich nicht beurteilen (wäre aber optimistisch).
Pros: Service, Breite Auswahl veganer Optionen , Gastfreundlichkeit und Stimmung
Cons: Ggf. Laut, wenn voll, Keine dauerhaft verfügbaren veganen Desserts

Hey, da gab es scheinbar ein Missverständnis in der Kommunikation. Den Joghurt mit eingekochten Orangen Schalen und gerösteten Mandeln gibt es dauerhaft als vegane Variante. Danke für den Besuch und die positive Rezension. 💚

Danke für die schnelle Reaktion - in dem Fall sollte das evtl. noch erläutert werden; wir hatten kurz dazu gesprochen und der Service war dann aber so lieb, mir die eingekochten Orangenschalen so zu probieren zu geben (unheimlich lecker!!). Also alles cool, nächstes Mal erkundige ich mich gerne nochmal explizit bezüglich der Desserts 👍😊

A letdown - Edit
Full disclosure, I have to admit the main reason why I wanted to visit Taverna Athene was this gorgeous phyllo dessert: https://www.happycow.net/reviews/taverna-athene-berlin-345057/images#i=2493662. Upon hearing they only do vegan desserts at weekends I was beyond bummed out. I thought I would let Al Catzone take care of my sweet tooth after the meal, but darn, it was going to be too late for that. As such, my first impression of this place was one of disappointment, and the fact that one needed to scan a QR code in order to access the vegan section of the menu didn't help either, as it doesn't exactly promote veganism.
Read moreKeen to try a variety of dishes, I went for the vegan mix grill. Three meaty options that, while properly grilled, I found mostly salty, despite accompaniment in the form of tzatziki. The garlic potatoes (pretty much chips/fries) didn't take the meal to another dimension either. Granted, I didn't choose those items at gunpoint, though I couldn't help but feel that I would have been much better off had I picked gigantes and other starters.. only that tasting menu called for a minimum of two guests, if memory serves me right. If I am ever to return to this place, I will ensure to properly do my homework, and hopefully the restaurant will do its part, too. After all, a meal without a dessert feels incomplete.

Hello, thank you for your visit. It must have been more than two months ago, as we now have a completely you are code-free menu also for vegans. We also always have a vegan year on offer now, but not always the one with the filo dough. Too bad about the two star review, but we will draw the right conclusions from it.

And maybe also the first disappointment that we didn’t have the dessert you wanted there, so the first impression was bad, but for which we couldn’t do anything😄because the dessert is not on any menu.

Lovely Greek place with lots of vegan options - Edit
We found Taverna Athene almost by accident one day last summer and absolutely loved it. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, and it has a real family business vibe to it that a lot of hip vegan restaurants are missing. The food was absolutely delicious, and the vegan menu has a lot of options that are partly naturally vegan, like stuffed vine leaves and beans but also some very tasty fake meat options. I can definitely recommend it, especially for a mixed group of meat eaters and vegans because everyone will find something.

Große Auswahl an veganen Gerichten - Edit
Das Taverna Athene bietet eine vielfältige Auswahl an griechischen Speisen, darunter auch eine große Auswahl an veganen Gerichten. Die vegane Karte bietet Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte an. Leider sind die Beilagen nicht gekennzeichnet, ob sie vegan sind, und müssen separat erfragt werden. Dennoch war mein „Mix Grill Vegan“ authentisch und lecker zubereitet, begleitet von einem köstlichen hausgemachten Tzatziki. Ich freue mich darauf, das Restaurant wieder zu besuchen!

Knoblauchhimmel - Edit
Neben all den tollen Kulinarischen Orten in Berlin war ein guter Grieche eine der wenigen Sachen die noch gefehlt haben. Hiermit hat sich die Suche erledigt. Die Vegane Karte ist wirklich üppig und weitaus mejr als nur Oliven und Brot. Der Tzatziki ist ein Traum, die Fleischalternstiven sind spitze und insgesamt war alles sehr lecker. Es wirkt super familiär und jeder Wunsch wird mehr als zufriedenstellend erfüllt. Unbedingt besuchen!

Great vegan Greek food - Edit
I've never came across vegan Greek food before, so I was super excited to come here. I had the vegan gyros and it was really tasty. I was happy about the amount of Gyros they've provided. I also had a starter, a vegan potatoe garlic dip with bread that was nice too. Service was very friendly and they have good amount of vegan options in general!

Tzatziki not vegan :( - Edit
We went there in January 2024 because of the great ratings on HappyCow and to prepare for a trip to Cyprus.
Read moreThe starters were delicious and the vegan menu huge. However, we were disappointed by the fact that the Tzatziki that is offered in the vegan menu is not vegan and that was only clarified upon request. We went with the vegan Metaxa, which was very good.
The waiter was nice and asked for recommendations on how to prepare a vegan Tzatziki, so let’s hope they will fix that soon.
Please take Tzatziki off the vegan menu.
Pros: Separate vegan menu , Delicious gyros, Nice staff
Cons: No vegan tzatziki
TavernaAthene
Hey Nico. This is a bit wrong what you say. It’s right that we don’t have a tzatziki at the moment. But it’s wrong that we we offered in the vegan menu tzatziki. So please change this Fakt that the other users know it. However thanks for visiting and maybe next time we have a vegan tzatziki

Greek place with great vegan dishes! - Edit
Went here for dinner and it was really great.
Read moreSpontaneously decided to try this restaurant for dinner and am happy we did. The place feels very Greek with the interior and decorations and is also big but was still full when we went there on a Thursday evening, so it’s probably good to make a reservation during the weekend. The restaurant offers a lot of different vegan dishes like vegan meze, gyros and dolma. I had the “Gyros vegan” with greek potatoes and a tomato sauce and it was really really good. The gyros were made from peas and it had great consistency and flavor, the potatoes was also nice.
The only downside was the price, for the dish I had which was tasty but not a lot costed 17,50€ which I feel is really on the higher end. I could still see myself coming back as the food tasted great and the service was good but it would be more for special occasions.

Amazing vegan BBQ Gyros, Meze, Bifetiki! - Edit
I am a big fan of Greek cuisine. Since going vegan, however, I sometimes simply miss the intense flavor of a big Greek grill. I often find vegan options in restaurants rather disappointing in terms of taste. But here it's different: the team at the taverna manages to translate the unique flavors into the vegan world. You will find the vegan option in the online daily menu. Thank you for that, I am now a regular again!

Top Grieche in Berlin - Edit
Wir waren gestern hier essen und haben uns sehr über das große vegane Angebot und die gute Beratung gefreut. Zu zweit waren wir mit einer Mezeplatte und einem Grillteller mehr als gut bedient. Das Essen war lecker und frisch und wir wurden freundlich nach unserer Meinung gefragt. Je größer die Nachfrage wird, umso mehr vegane Optionen sollen aufgenommen werden. Wir hätten uns z.B. über ein Tsatsiki gefreut. Die Soßen, die wir zum Essen hatten, waren aber auch alle super lecker und frisch zubereitet. Ich kann definitiv empfehlen hier zu essen und diese Seltenheit, griechisches Restaurant mit veganer Karte, zu unterstützen.
