Restaurant Irodion is widely praised for its friendly and welcoming staff, creating a warm and hospitable dining experience. Guests consistently highlight the delicious and authentic Greek cuisine, with a diverse menu that offers something for everyone. The food is frequently served promptly, though main courses occasionally take longer than expected. Portions tend to be generous, and the restaurant’s practice of providing take-away containers for leftovers is appreciated. While the overall atmosphere is inviting, some diners suggest the addition of quieter areas to enhance the ambiance. Despite minor service lapses, such as occasional forgotten orders, the combination of quality food, attentive service, and a pleasant setting makes Restaurant Irodion a favored destination for those seeking genuine Greek flavors in Ilmenau.

Immer wieder sehr freundlicher und herzlicher Empfang, das Essen lecker und es dauert auch nie lange. Meistens viel zu viel, aber man kann das übrige gebliebene Essen in einer vom Restaurant gestellten Verpackung mitnehmen. Zur Begrüßung wird man gefragt, ob man einen Ouzo möchte, ebenso nach dem Bezahlen. Beim Ambiente würde ich mir ein paar mehr ruhigere Bereiche wünschen, aber sonst ist alles sauber und gepflegt.

Overall OK. It doesn't really match the review hype, though. The entries were very good, while the main dishes took quite a while and were en par to the usual Greek restaurant cuisine.

Great place. Friendly staff. Nice food. Unfortunately they forgot my drink (on a table of 20 people) so it's okay

My favorite restaurant in Ilnenau. Stuff is very friendly, portions are huge, everything is very tasty and not expansive. Mix plates, fish, appetizers, wine - everything really good. I also love ouzo, that they gave you at the beginning and at the end. Cards are accepted.

Eines vorweg, das gesamt Team im Restaurant Irodion war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man hat sich sofort willkommen gefühlt. Obwohl das Restaurant sehr gut besucht war, wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und zu einem Tisch geführt. Die Speisekarte bietet klassische Gerichte, wie man sie in einem griechischen Restaurant erwartet. Wir hatten den großen Gyros-Teller mit Reisnudeln. Die Reisnudeln waren sehr gut abgeschmeckt und auch das Zaziki war hervorragend. Das Gyros hätte, für meinen Geschmack, saftiger sein können. Vorweg gab es einen kleinen Salatteller. Dieser könnte raffinierter sein und das Dressing passt nicht. Hier würde sich ein selbst gemachtes Dressing, aus hochwertigen griechischen Olivenöl und Kräutern besser eignen. Aber wie gesagt, das ist mein persönliches empfinden. Alles in allem ein gutes, solides Restaurant, welches ich gerne wieder besuche.
