Grieks Specialiteitenrestaurant Parthenon in Centrum

As a regular customer, I have been very satisfied for many years with the delicious food and the friendly staff. Always a warm welcome and a nice chat. The staff always does their best to make it happen. ♥️

You get very little food for your money. Portions are very small and the quality could be better.

The quality of the takeout food was disappointing. Did not eat it.

Cozy Greek restaurant with very nice and efficient staff and owners. The food is really top quality.

Cozy, good food, what more could you want?

Delicious food, very friendly staff

Tasty food. Not a huge amount, but okay.

The village platter is highly recommended.

It's the 3rd time. Always a pleasure.

Greek restaurant on Dorpstraat in Zoetermeer with a cozy atmosphere. The service is friendly and efficient. The food itself was tasty, however, the portions were far too small for the price. For a dish costing over 30 euros, I expect at least a larger bowl of rice, more fries, and some salad. It was on the meager side. The waitress's argument that otherwise a lot would be thrown away obviously doesn't hold water, because then you should simply lower the prices. As it stands, you don't get value for your money. The food itself was tasty, though. I am used to generous portions from a Greek restaurant.

It's not the Greek restaurant it used to be. You pay a lot more and get a lot less.

Great restaurant! Delicious food. Friendly service. It was very nice that our little dog (who was in a locked basket) was allowed to come along, after being turned away at three other restaurants.

We had a wonderful meal this weekend. The meat was excellent, the tzatziki was delicious, and there were plenty of fries and rice. We were also asked if we wanted coleslaw as a side dish. Yes! That's an option too! The friendly staff are often present and well-trained. They pay attention to the food, the interior, and the guests, which you don't often see everywhere. We had a fantastic evening. Team Parthenon, thank you so much!

We had a fantastic meal at Parthenon. The meat is always delicious, and the restaurant looks well-maintained. They also have delicious dishes off the menu; my husband had a special dessert that was delicious. Luckily, you still get the ouzo upon arrival, and a very sweet hostess who keeps an eye on everything.

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food! The staff was already working on the setup for tomorrow, which was a bit distracting, but the service remained friendly and professional. Definitely a place to visit again.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff very friendly, but unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing this time. Where we always enjoyed it before, the meat was now bland and the souvlaki was on the tough side. We also found the side dish ratio a bit meager: coleslaw instead of a fresh green salad (which you can, of course, order extra) and only one basket of fries for four people. The dessert seemed a bit hastily thrown together, with a cloyingly sweet, unappetizing caramel sauce. Considering the total bill of €250, we felt the price-quality ratio was not right this time. A shame, because we liked coming here.

The souvlaki was good but came rather sparsely with two tablespoons of rice and fries. Luckily, she already mentioned that the chicken tacos were quite small. Since it wasn't listed as a side dish or appetizer, I assumed it wouldn't be too bad, but it was a small snack that would easily serve as a starter. Indeed, it's definitely not a meal. We didn't think it was worth the price of €16.50. Then there was the gyros special. A bit of a messy plate of flavor, not really Greek. In short, the service was perfect. The atmosphere was very pleasant, but we found the quality of the food subpar.

The food was delicious!! The atmosphere was pleasant, but the staff was already setting up the table for the next day. Understandable, but not very welcoming. Definitely coming back next time!

I think we came on the wrong night. I have a favorite Greek restaurant, but we went here for dinner as an exception. The staff is friendly, but sometimes not entirely knowledgeable about the menu. It might have been that the chef was new or had an off night, but the food was presented unimaginatively. The Saganaki, for example, was very basic (just a piece of fried cheese), and therefore the price wasn't justified. I'm not used to that. There was a (domestic) cat wandering around the restaurant, which in itself added to the ambiance, although I can imagine some people wouldn't appreciate it. I don't think Rob would be thrilled either. I'll just go to my favorite from now on. The dessert itself was good (although the ice cream type mentioned wasn't correct for most of the options), but also a bit strange. See photo.

We had a delicious meal. For us, it's the best Greek restaurant in Zoetermeer. Only...we had to wait an hour for our food...

The meat skewers were decent. The gyros were sliced ​​too finely, and the flavor wasn't quite to my liking.

We had a delicious meal here! I had the gyro special, which was filling but super tasty!

Been here a while, food is delicious. Some variation possible beyond the usual dishes. Ouzo is delicious with it, and the service is friendly and cheerful.

Distant, good food, no atmosphere

I had a lovely meal at this Greek restaurant. One minor complaint: the waiter asked if I wanted water with the wine. It turned out I was given a single glass of sparkling water, which I had to pay €4 for at checkout. That's no way to treat guests, especially since you could apparently also get (paid) tap water.

Our favorite Greek restaurant. We have been coming to the restaurant regularly for eighteen years and will continue to do so!

Delicious food 👌🏼good atmosphere friendly staff 🥂

Excellent restaurant and good service.

We had dinner at this excellent restaurant last night. The food was delicious and the service was exceptionally friendly. We loved the wonderful atmosphere; it felt like a living room. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back soon. 👍

Delicious food, pricey dishes, and the plates felt a bit sparse. A piece of meat and a small ball of rice. Fries in a small basket on the table. Unfortunately, there were children next to us making noise from an iPad. I could tell they were staff children. We realized in the car that it bothered us all, otherwise I would have said something. Still, I won't be returning because of the disappointing, sparse, and expensive dishes.

Had a fantastic evening, celebrating my husband's birthday. The food was delicious and it was a wonderful atmosphere! The staff were fantastic!

Delicious Greek restaurant with a great atmosphere and friendly service! Highly recommended 😋

Great food, good atmosphere and great people

Outstanding Greek food. My favorite restaurant in Zoetermeer. The staff is kind and attentive.

Restaurant has been there for a long time. Haven't been there in years. Food is good, but portions are getting smaller. My 12 year old son had 3 small tacos for 20 euros. He could easily eat that and was still hungry afterwards. An adult really can't fill his stomach with this and finds the price for this dish out of proportion. No more vegetables with the dishes. Not even a piece of tomato or cucumber. Must be the new trend. Dishes were otherwise well prepared and the service was good.

This Greek has been in the Dorpsstraat for a long time but we didn't know it was so good. Delicious and affordable food, good service so worth repeating.

It was very cozy. Inside it was nicely decorated the atmosphere was good.

What a great evening we had. We were twelve people and we lacked nothing. Delicious selection of starters that we enjoyed through shared dining, where the non-fish eater got an extra dish without having to ask for it. Very tasty main courses; the specialty of beef tenderloin topped with scampi is really recommended. The service is super friendly and cozy. We are and will remain team Parthenon!

Salt Salt Salt. No further taste to the dish.....not tasty anymore

Large menu with a wide choice of Greek specialties. Delicious food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

Bad, little and salty food. Used to be better here. It was the same as the last time

Delicious food, had to wait a while for the coffee, but it more than made up for it

It's been a while since we've been here. The owner's daughter is a real asset to the business and a very lovely woman. We were very impressed; we had a fantastic meal, a starter platter, and some delicious meat. We'll definitely be back soon. It's a lovely, clean place, super welcoming, and has a cozy atmosphere.

We received a side dish that we had not ordered. Gave it back, eventually credited to the receipt... And also a small amount on your plate... All in all, a shame because I always liked coming here.

The food tasted delicious. Not much, unlike other Greek restaurants. No salad. It was very warm inside and the tables were tight for 6 people, so we sat really close together. You got your food on a long plate, which was right in front of your neighbor and hers next to her neighbor. Those on the corner sat with one buttock over the couch. It was fun for once, but we won't be back.

Unexpectedly made a reservation and had dinner here. Friendly welcome, there is a pleasant atmosphere and the business itself looks attractive and neat. Once at the table we were welcomed with small pieces of toast, tomato tapenade and an ouzo for each. Plenty of choice on the menu, fairly reasonable prices, but I think the price of a coke is a lot, €4 for a standard bottle. With a dish for 2 people I expect a platter with everything on it and 2 separate plates, but here we were both served a plate with our food on it. Fries were served in a small basket. The food was hot, tasty and the meat was well cooked. The Greek-style Tiramisu takes some getting used to if you are used to the Italian ones and they are therefore not comparable at all. Friendly staff

Unfortunately, the restaurant is deteriorating. Our family has been coming here for years. The presentation on the plates, the plates themselves, the menu, white wine that is not chilled,... I don't know if we will go back. Maybe just out of tradition. Friendly staff but not so personal anymore.

Ci am Greek and food have nothing to do with greece.very expensive,some of the people working there are "weird"

The food was delicious. It's been a while since I was here. They now also have some more "modern dishes," like Greek bao buns, Greek sushi, and delicious feta balls in a chutney sauce. The atmosphere was also really cozy, and the staff were attentive to your needs and whether you'd like something to drink or order.

Parthenon is definitely recommended. The food is delicious and always fresh, with authentic Greek flavors. The staff always does their best to welcome you hospitably and create a pleasant atmosphere. For those who like good Greek food and excellent service, this is the place to be!

Delicious food, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! Good food, good service and good atmosphere (real candles and cozy corners)

The food tasted delicious, but the portions are very small if you order the chef's specialty (approximately €30 per main course). We received a mini bowl of lettuce and a mini bowl of rice and a mini portion of fries to share. We had to order a Greek salad and an extra portion of rice. I'm not used to eating at a Greek restaurant..nb if we pick up we get more. Nevertheless, the food was delicious

You can enjoy delicious food there

Delicious food and greatly enjoyed everyone's friendly welcome and help!

Delicious food! For me this is the best Greek restaurant in Zoetermeer and the surrounding area.

Good food, but when it's busy the service can sometimes be chaotic.

It takes some getting used to, different plates, slightly different food. Sofa upholstery piece. But they do know how to prepare a piece (or pieces) of meat there! Modernize the decor a bit and it will last for another ten years, because it is a great Greek restaurant

We ate here today September 13th. Had a nice spot next to the window on the Dorpsstraat side. Food was really delicious. And the staff was really nice too. The cat was also a source of attention

Haven't been there in a long time, always delicious!

Delicious food for a good price. And pleasant service.

Delicious moussaka with delicious cabbage salad. Will come back soon

What poor service. Not customer friendly at all. Very arrogant. We would go back for dinner. But beyond that, nothing worth repeating. We have now come within short notice. But not anymore for a while

Parthenon is my Greek in Zoetermeer. So I'm biased ;) Went again tonight. I forget the Greek name, but the surf & turf was great again.

Very good restaurant, delicious food, professional staff and wonderful Greek vibes. We will definitely come back here again

Always great food, adjustments are never a problem and friendly staff

Delicious food. Nice service. Food is on the table quickly. Recommended.

Delicious food! Meat dishes beautifully prepared, perfectly cooked. Super tasty rice, really different than usual. This restaurant is highly recommended!

Great restaurant, delicious food and incredibly friendly staff.

We ate an incredibly delicious Stifado! Efcharisto Poli 😍

Food was delicious! Looks clean too. Friendly staff. Quick service! So delicious that I completely finished my food. 😉

What arrogance that fat older man in the service has. Bah! He has a very nasty attitude towards his customers and staff. Not a pleasant atmosphere at all. After not having been there for a long time due to the nasty arrogant attitude of this man, I ate here again, but this time it really is the last time! Food was fine, but down the street at Poseidon you can enjoy good food and have friendly staff!

Quite pricey and smaller portions

Great restaurant, cozy, tasty food and service was excellent.

Unfortunately not good. Waited a very long time. Food not tasty. Pin broken again. Not nice. Now that I have read the other very negative reviews below about this creepy, aggressive, over-stressed owner, I am sure I will never come here again. And tell everyone!

Super cozy restaurant with friendly people and delicious food! I can highly recommend the vegetarian mousaka! 😊

The food and drinks were excellent and everything was well organised. The service was also excellent, friendly people. Unfortunately, the price was disappointing, 320 euros for 4 people excluding tip, I think it is quite expensive, even if you take an extra drink. So you don't do this every week (or every month). Unfortunately, it will probably be the case everywhere that prices in the catering industry have risen considerably...

Food was tasty. Feeling like it was thrown on the plate and with loads of onions on it. In addition, some rice, fries and lettuce on a plank.

Great service and delicious food in a charming restaurant

This Greek…delicious! Lots of choice and highly recommended!

After 25 years, we regularly went there as a family. Today we said goodbye. The food is very tasty but is becoming increasingly expensive and meager. Sharing a small bowl of fries/rice/salad with 4 people (the same amount you get with 2 people), having to pay the full price if you request extra. The owner is not customer friendly at all and came across as threatening to us because we had reported a complaint. Extremely proud and big mouth!! Very antisocial!! Very sorry…

Toppie.delicious food.. nice atmosphere

The restaurant is in the middle of old town of Zooetermeer and it's surounded by sweet typical duch houses that also host some businesses like shops and restaurants. We order typical mix platter and we got greeted by ouzo on the house which is great start to the evening. Mix platter containing of 5 different grilled meats was very well seasoned and tasty, served with rice (unfortunately not done in greek way) and tzatziki on side but it lacked typical greck salad and side dishes. We also got fries which were served in separately but put in basket on a table (lacking plate). The presentation could be better hence 4 stars for food. The place is present with greck accents all around of the restaurant. It's quite big place and was quite full on Saturday night which is always a good sign of a good food, however if I was to go for typical greck food I would look for another restaurant. Service was also very nice and attentive. House red wine also great option to go in wines.

Delicious food. Specialty (surprise) of the house that the chef put together.👌

Had a delicious meal here again. Very friendly people and cozy atmosphere

As always it was a nice atmosphere, but the food seems to be becoming less and less what is served. This is a shame because the price is still the same or perhaps even more expensive. Unfortunately, this also makes the presentation look very poor. I like coming here with my parents. Now I was with a friend and it took a very long time for the food to arrive. The experience was less pleasant in many ways.

Due to the attitude of the owner, I said goodbye to this once oh-so-good restaurant after more than 30 years! We are now going to another Greek where we are treated kindly and the food is great!

Delicious food. Very extensive menu.

Ordered food yesterday February 18th. Ordered Santorini with Greek salad. Food, especially meat, was not warm enough. Giros dry and tough. Chicken fillet looked like the sole of a shoe. I'm not used to this from this Greek ☹️. Half thrown away. Well, I don't know if there will be a next time.

It has increased in price, yes, but not

Yesterday with Valentine's Day. Remains a top restaurant. Friendly hospitality and they regularly come by to ask if everything is to your liking. You rarely see that in other restaurants.

Excellent restaurant that also offers senior meals on the menu. Nice spontaneous service, tasty food at reasonable prices. Worth repeating.

Friendly staff & excellent service, definitely worth repeating.

Food was good but could have had a bit more veal in my stifado. It was very tasty.

It was very busy and hot. The food was tasty, but was not served at the same time. We had to wait a very long time for a dessert that secretly expected a little more.

On December 16, 2023, we had dinner with 19 family members on the occasion of my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. It was very pleasant and we received a warm welcome. Even though the restaurant was packed, the staff worked very hard to serve everyone the right a la cart dishes on time. Compliments to the staff and the kitchen brigade.

Live music too loud. No communication possible with tefal partner.

Very calm appearance even though they were busy. Lovely people and delicious food and you didn't even have to ask for more fries, for example, they already offered it themselves, so we look beyond just bringing food, but see what else is needed and have a chat

Delicious food and good service in a beautiful ambiance

Delicious food, pleasant service.
