Especially I like Greek lamb-specialities (grilled on the spit or as chop with rice and French Fries). As dessert I recommend a "Galaktoboureko", a semolina-casserole (Grießauflauf), so yummy! 😋
The Balkans dishes (Greek, Croatian, Romanian, Turkish etc) taste all similar to me. For example Bifteki (grilled meat filled with feta cheese) you find in Greek and Croatian restaurants as well, Ćevapčići (grilled meat rolls) you find nearly everywhere in the Balkans-countries under different names.
I used to date a Greek woman who's brother owned a Greek restaurant. Oh the food
@@janpracht6662 Ohhhhh yummm! Thanks for the info! We still haven't made it to many of those countries! We want to go!
@@scorrill Sounds delicious! (The Greek restaurant that is...)
moussaka, saganaki, souvlaki, dolmas, tzaziki, kalamata olives, feta cheese, spanokopita, grilled baby octopus, so much more... (and ouzo... 😉😜 OPA!!!) thumbs up as always, #158, must confess i've yet to eat any Greek food here in Germany, although i've had an incredible Croatian meal in Hamburg and phenomenal Ethiopian food in Stuttgart
The Greeks gave us philosophy and democracy, but their greatest gift to humanity is the gyro.
Haha!
True story my friend
To be fair turning meat on a stick over a fire is an ancient, universal idea...lol. Turks had the idea (I believe) because when I was really young everyone called it "Doner". We westernized it by replacing lamp with types of meat that are more popular in Europe and the U.S.
Thats soo true
gyro. is not greek food, it is origanal name is DÖNER, and Greek also used DÖNER name until a few years ago, and tried change name as gyro,.
Hi Deana & Phil, Interviewing local businesses is a nice addition to your repertoire. Please do more of this as it may help increase your subscriber count.
But haven’t you put that tag on the video: provides sponsoring/advertising?
why
@@biankakoettlitz6979 I don’t understand your reply. Do you not see the difference between a sponsor’s paid advertisement and human engagement with the locals, businesses or otherwise?
@@helfgott1 Why? Because engagement with locals will add a *new* dimension to the channel that we viewers find interesting. Have you not watched other CZcamsrs engage with locals? Many of them are quite successful.
@@pw2883 I am sorry, I do not know the policy og filmmaking. I thought that you must make it claer og you make the name og a business that you advertize for using it. I am glad og I am wrong. Maybe it is the German in me....:-D
Gyros ok is famous (pork or chicken).......but kontosouvli is the best of the best!!.......Nice video.....They seem professionals......As a Greek i can say that this was a very good version of greek street food............
Commenting in the middle of the video to say I'm rarely proud for a Greek restaurant I see in other countries. Kudos to everyone. It makes me feel proud for them representing Greek street food.
8:05: THIS is what Ron Swatson would had called a "Greek Meat Tornado"!
It's calling tzatziki 😋 (τζατζίκι) and the greek salad calling villagers salad (χωριάτικη), come and visit Greece to learn everything about history!! 🇬🇷
This is greek street food souvlaki .

When I was stationed in Lemgo, West Germany from 1978 to 1982 we use to go to a Greek bar and have gero’s with fries and some senf (German mustard) 🤤🤤😋😋😋😘😘
Griechisches Essen in Deutschland ist so fleischlastig. Meiner Erfahrung nach essen sie in Griechenland viel mehr Gemüse. „Gemista“ liebe ich zum Beispiel, aber bekommt man in Deutschland kaum. Ebenso die gefüllten Weinblätter. Auch typische Gerichte (mit Fleisch) wie Stiffado oder Kleftiko findet man hier nicht. Die griechische Küche, die im Deutschland serviert wird, spiegelt nur einen Teil der kompletten Vielfalt wider und wohl eher den ungesünderen... Euer Essen schaut allerdings sehr geil aus! Frisch und kreativ 👍
To try either Greek or Turkish food in Germany is like trying to buy quality from Lidl or Aldi. If you want to have the real experience you must go in Greece or Turkey. Or just take your Bratwurst, Brötchen and Sauerkraut.
I am drooling.
I lived in Northern Germany for almost 3 years. Greek food was the bomb. I couldn't get enough of it!
So great! You both had such a great IDEE to do this type of video as well. The site, the surrounding area the interaction with the people - came across so nicely! BTW: you both look great together keep up the great work - it is such a pleasure to see you both and your travels in Germany! Makes me want to get on a plane and fly out to Germany as well!👍
Thanks, Joseph!! We are glad you enjoyed it! We love when business owners want to be involved in our videos! We could tell that they love their food and it showed in their delicious dishes! We hope you get a chance to hop on a plane and fly over soon! :D
Totally agree! You guys encourage people to venture out and leave comfort zones to experience new cultures and destinations!
I am from Greece
Hi!!
Hii
I really like this style of video where you talk to the owners and get an in the kitchen view of what they're doing while still being fun and lively. And I love watching you both loving good food!
I prefer the pita gyros with Krautsalat and tzaziki, in Holland we can get it as well with fries :)
You guys have become one of my favorite CZcamsrs! Look forward to every vlog that’s posted 👍☺️
Hi from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤
All of those dishes looked delicious and now want to eat Greek food for dinner. I like these videos and hope you will have checking out other local restaurants. Since I don't live in Germany when you show the different international cuisines I can learn what the dishes are and try someplace else.
This looks amazing and now I’m so hungry 😋🤗
Greek here. All these are typical Greek dishes that we use to eat in my country too. But the truth is the Greeks of diaspora show the more fatty and unhealthy part of Greek cuisine. Yes it's delicious and flavorful but we have plenty of dishes which are vegetarian. Also we consume many vegetables (raw,fried,baked and boiked)and seafood (octopus,calamari, mussels, shrimps,all kinds of edible fishes and more). Maybe we eat more pasta than Italians(we have our traditional dishes with pasta). Our savory and sweet pastries are to die for. Countless pies,stews,soups,deeps, roasts,salads and not only the famous greek salad or farmers/villagers salad. Every town has its specific speciality and every yiayia(grandma)has its own recipe. Greek cuisine is exceptional and you are more than welcome to discover every part of it.
I love you guys! Full of wonderful personality and opinions I actually care about. And Phil, as an American: "You're welcome!" for an amazing lady like Deana. Stay safe and happy you two!
Phil's happiness made me smile!
Love from Athens Greece❤
Just discovered your YT channel! I luv Greek (n Turkish n Mediterranean) food! The food looks really good! 😋
The food looked amazing!❤️
Der Futterneid von uns Zuschauern ist ein geiles Videokonzept. Vor allem wenn man merkt, dass die CZcamsr Spaß daran haben. Keep on rockin' the show!
When I was a student at the University of Mainz (in the 80s), there was a Greek restaurant named 'Samos' that was across the Autobahn from the Uni Studentenwohnheim area. There was a pedestrian bridge that we would take there to a small mall directly on the other side. Freshly baked Greek bread, Taramasalata, and red Demestica wine was my standard order. I loved being able to arrive, be greeted warmly, sit down, and know I would get my favorite within 10 minutes of arrival. It was dead cheap and my friends and I would sit there for hours, ordering more side dishes and wine as we wanted. It was named 'Samos' because the family that owned and ran it were from Samos! And there were so many dogs that came with their owners! For whatever reason, dog owners loved that particular restaurant.
You're lucky to have a great place like that close by. I lived on Crete for 8 years and Augsburg, and Sembach.
Phil is always happy when he's stuffing his face with good food. I think we may have been related in a previous life. LOL!
Great video. Hope you guys are well, that food looked so yummy
Thank you! We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Yum! Looks AMAZING! They seemed too sweet. 😊
I live in Düsseldorf and I have to say this restaurant is really good. All the foods there are always fresh and delicious. You have definitely try that if you are in Düsseldorf area.
now i get really hungry!!Ich habe hunger!!!!!nice video guys!!
The secret is in the barbecue's fire coals, which has to be from wood. Not charcoal. In South Africa we braai (barbecue) all the time and we use braai wood. It gives the most delicious flavour and taste to anything you put on that barbecue...meat, fish, bread or veggies.
I eat the pork kontosouvli from this restaurant at least once per month. Greek restaurants in Germany are usually very good but it can be a bit hard to find one that really competes with the best places in Greece. Grill House 56 does exactly that and really gives you the authentic taste! Love it.
Great! I live in Neuss and for sure will visit Grill House 56 this summer. I just have to eat that kontosouvli and a souvlaki pita!!! 👍👍👍
Looks amazing!!
Looks delicious I enjoy the interview the owners. Thry seem nice couple who want to brung great Greek food to Germany.
Hilarious that you left the "pork that's chicken" part in 🇪🇺 🤣🤣🤣👍👍+1.
Alternate title: How to get hungry in 10 seconds.
Food looks amazing and everything fresh
Loved that video , but as a Greek I'm gonna suggest you to try some typical greek dishes that are not so much popular/known to foreigners ( and do not include much meat too). I'm betting you are going to get a nice surprise by the flavors, smells and the simpilicity of these dishes. It's funny watching people trying pita gyros and moussaka, but I'm pretty sure you'll love some other classic greek dishes even more!
Σαν τι ας πούμε ????
@@axelfolie1654 μπάμιες 😂
@@perseusarkouda Aidia re 😂
Food looked delicious
There is the Greek food for Germans and there is the real Greek Food. The Greek food offered in Germany is targeted for Germans. You want to try the real deal, visit Greece. Καλό Βράδυ.
ah my favorite greek dish is definitely lamb on the spit but I LOVE the taramosalata dip (fish roe). Not to mention the Greek cookies are amazing! (Kourabiedes!)
We have some great Greek diners here in New England (mainly in Connecticut). They all have HUGE menus. I can't say I have a favorite, but there is a Greek owned deli in my town (Andover Massachusetts) that puts french fries in their gyros. Enjoy!!!
Visiting Athens in 2 days. This makes me excited!
Love all your content, but you guys really shine when you're doing food videos.
So great to have you back! The food looks so good. I really wanna eat Gyros now!
I have two things that you might be interested is: Since you're in Düsseldorf. There is the "Eko-Haus" on the other side of the Rhein which is a Japanese Temple and Garden. I'm planning to visit it soon and I think you would enjoy it.
Also, have you heard of Stoppelmarkt? It's the oldest Kirmes in Germany. Its in Vechta and its legendary. People from all over the Country come to it. There is a big Umzug and fireworks and "Viehmarkt" as well and the whole city basically has a celebration for the week and weekend. Its kind of a fifth season. Its in August and it's happening this year for the first time after corona again!
I freakin' LOVE greek food! Nice to see a restraunt that seems to nail it down. Usually my Bifteki is filled with Feta but the rest looked fantastic. Will remember to go there when I'm in the area again and get myself some nice Souvlaki or Gyros Pita.
Danke, sieht ja alles super lecker aus - wohne fast um die Ecke - werd ich definitiv mal vorbei schauen! :)
Thanks for this. I imagine since you've been to Greece, you are reliable judges of the food. I've made Souvlaki and Biftikia a few times because I have an annoyingly large mint plant and both dishes require mint. I love the contrasts of mint and feta and garlic and lemon. I wonder if Greek food is unique for this combo of flavors. Greek food is something I'd never eat in America, thanks to Germany having so many good Greek places. I guess they didn't give you an ouzo after, that's sad. Have you seen the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding? It's great: )
You need to squeeze the lemon on the souvlaki and sausage etc. Delicious!
I love Greek food, especially Moussaka or Pastitsio.
We love Moussaka!! We still need to try Pastitsio!!
@@DeanaandPhil Does the Donner roughly correspond to shawarma.
both are not GREEK food, even name is not greek hahaha
Greek?huh!these are Turkish food
@@fluffycat560♥️♥️
Sieht alles sehr lecker aus - dies Geschäft werde ich mir merken! :)
Tht Gyros is much better than the Döner. Pure Meat not minced Meat.
Fries in pita gyros are not a sign of quality! Fries are just plain cheaper than meat, so they're often included. By the way, this is not an "invention" from Greece, but originally comes from Greek snack bars in the German Ruhr area! Of course, steelworkers can't spend a lot of money on a quick lunch...
So what you can find in Greece these days (mainly in touristy parts of the country) is actually just a re-import, similar to the Berlin style doner that can be found in more and more takeaways all across Turkey...
Greek food is very tasty. And the Greeks are hospitable people!
I must try that place next time i'm in Düsseldorf because i've seen everytime i got beer in the kiosk across the street ! Hopefully i will be back in early August!
Welcome to my hometown. You need to go to ‚Schweine Janes‘ at Düsseldorf Altstadt. There are doing Pork Streetfood for more than 50 years there. Take the Pork from the ‚Grill Spiess‘ with fries.
Ohhh cool! We still haven't been there, but we'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@DeanaandPhil I am following your channel for quite a while and I enjoy it. Have fun in Düsseldorf.
Greek food in Germany is over the top Amazing!!!!
Hi from IRELAND , gyros pita 😋 the best .
Wow amazing food 🙂🇩🇰👍
Great video guys!!
When you eat Greek food know that we put lemon on just about everything (not the yeero lol).
But the grill meats rotisserie souvlaki kalamaki etc=lemon!!
Cheers 🍋🍋🍋🇬🇷💙
Idk but I always get excited when I'm notified with your new videos! Please continue more and more! ❤️
Lol, Grill House 56 for a Gyro Pita, than 20 meters away Byzantio for a baklava and than 40 meters down in one of the Greek cafés for a Freddo Espresso!
I did watch all your Greece video but didn't know you lived in Düsseldorf! 👍👍
I second the "Galaktoboureko" for desert. The subtitled interviews worked well although if you have a German only audience I wonder if you should subtitle the english for a mixed language video like this. There is a PBS local show that does videos of Washington DC offbeat restaurants and the only thing they add is feeding all the crew the food they were presented, of course you ARE the crew ;-)
Everything looks good, yummy and tasty BUT, the pita-gyros of my youth had meat, tzatziki, tomatoes, onions and parsley and NOT potatoes like modern day Greeks like to put in. Have no idea who thought of it but they started doing it back in the 1990s and I don't like it. Potatoes do not belong in the pita-gyros wrap but on a separate plate next to it. Other than that, everything else looked good!
Hey guys! I'm Greek and I live in munich for the last 8 years. I have to say that I'm so disspointed for the Greek food around here. The owners adjusting the Greek food to the Germans taste which as Greek I found it sad and pity. This guy in Düsseldorf that you show us seems to keep the Greek flavor and the techniques of original Greek style Street food. 👌
Totally true, there is this cliché in Germany that Greek food is just a bunch of meat, Metaxa Sause and Tzatziki and that Greek restaurants must have God Names and look like a piece of the ruins of the Parthenon.
So true! I was also utterly shocked when gyros was offered together with calamari as a single plate with Metaxa-liqor based sauce in it. Yuck!
You make me hungry 😋‼️Love Greek food
Just an FYI, Thessaloniki was voted one of the best places for foodies, we got (possibly) the greatest cuisine in Greece. If you ever return to Greece, I would definitely advise you to visit Thessaloniki :)
Totally! Watching foodies going to Athens for the Greek food experience makes me cringe.
P.S. I'm not from either city.
Spanakopita, Lamb Souvlaki, Greek potatoes, Greek roasted chicken, and any Greek dessert! We have an annual Greek Fest in my city and one day we eat quick foods outside under tents as we watch the Greek dancers and then another day, we eat full Greek dinners inside the event hall and take home as many desserts as we can carry!
I am from Greece γεια σας
I’m an a 54 year old American woman living in Alaska. I met a wonderful German man from Northern Germany nine months ago. (Online) We speak several times daily despite the time difference. He is visiting me in September for three weeks. Your videos are invaluable to me that warn me of cultural differences. From your videos I’m also able to educate him. He’s from Hamburg. I’m originally from Anchorage but now in Sitka Alaska. When he comes here we will do much fishing and hunting. Thank you guys for sharing your lives. You guys are wonderful! 😀 I will discuss this with him but I’m thinking to start our own CZcams channel. He’s older than me, he’s very private but I believe I can convince him. 😜
Wish you all the best! Try to make this Greek recipe, you will love this food! czcams.com/video/x5aDXUUiRFQ/video.html
I am from greece and gyros and souvlaki is the best love u guys
Oh hätte das letztens wissen müssen... aber der Kartoffelsalat im Uerige war auch gut zum Bier 😁
I love Greek food.♥️ Those look sooooo yummy. I'm hungry watching you enjoying the food.♥️
My favourite Greek dish is jackknife clams in hot butter. 🙂
Oh woww the souflaki look so good!
10:09 "Look At All Those Chickens"
...10:30
Dang…mouth watering 🤤 Gotta get to this place!
Watching These CZcams Videos, Is Like Watching A Modern Day Soap Opera 😎‼️
This looks legitimate. I will try it in October when I visit the in laws!
My favourite is saganaki and l like spanakopita too
Well, I'm in a hotel in southern Germany right now and I just came back to my room from breakfast, but now I could go for a Gyros somewhere, but it's 9am 😁
I love greek food
We do tooooooo!
@@DeanaandPhil Nothings better then spicy Cevapcici and great fries!! 😄😄
WOW
Lot's of Greek restaurants in Detroit! OOOpaaaa! But one of the best I've ever been to is in Baguio, Philippines! Lemon and Olives! Look it up!
Bei mir in der Stadt heißt die Pita mit Pommes "Königs Pita" :)
I haven’t had a Gyros in 2 decades. My town,50 miles from San Francisco,is severely lacking in Food choices and the Gyros she prepared,if we had similar,would cost,at the least,$12+ dollars,& most likely have 30% less meat then she used. Mouth watering Video.
Ahh that's a bummer! Wishing there was a way we could send you one of these gyros!
@@DeanaandPhil OmG. That would cool. Uber eats from Germany to USA. Maybe in the future. 🚀
Its possible to make it at home, been doing it from time to time
I am jealous, looks good!
I wanted to say it's easy to understand if Phil got his meat types mixed up, the flavors are so powerful and yummy they could probably disguise cardboard well.
Our local greek restaurant is very nice too. Owned by a family, leaded by their mom. She is very strict ^^"
But the food.... 🤤 I love bifteki and lamb and their chicken dishes are great too. And the Metaxa sauce! OMG! I love that stuff xD
If, after a great meal, there is still space in my belly I love that amazing dessert, which name I always forget. It's a puff pastry filled with vanilla cream.
Great, I'm hungry now. 😭
Galaktoboureko is the name of dessert that you are referring
You guys should come to Cologne again and check out „Kebabland“. It has the best Kebabs eva. Think you would love it. Like your videos. Too cute!!!
Ist schon länger her, schätze ca. 20-25 Jahre, als ich einmal Lammfilet in Metaxa-Sahne-Soße gegessen habe. Ich kann nur sagen: ein Traum, allerdings auch sehr gehaltvoll. Leider gibt es den Griechen dort nicht mehr und in einem anderen habe ich das Gericht noch nicht wieder gesehen. Bin seitdem aber auch eher beim Chinesen/Asiaten essen gewesen...
It looks really delicious. The next time i visit Düsseldorf i know where to eat! I like the city, it's just one hour and a half drive from where i live. Grussen aus die Niederlande!!
The restaurant and food looks great. Will give it a try when passing by. 🙂
If you like Sushi and a good view over Dusseldorf the restaurant in the Rheinturm (Rhine tower) might be something for you.
The north east Mediterranean countries of Greece, Turkey and Lebanon have great food that is influenced be each other but totally distinctive. It’s brave for a Greek restaurant/ to open in Germany given the entrenched Turkish influence but they have the advantage of being able to offer pork.
