Eros

Eros tries hard to be a high-​class destination for Greek food in Copenhagen, but unfortunately it falls short. While the décor is nice and the service good enough, the food leaves much to be desired and should in no way be considered authentic Greek. Let me explain…
The restaurant is clearly aimed more towards tourists rather than the Danes. The menu itself is pretty well sized but has nothing especially surprising for a Greek restaurant. If you want a decent amount of food on a relative budget, there are menu deals which include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Whatever you choose though, it’s pretty bland, underwhelming, and most tragically, tastes all the same. I ordered pork souvlaki which came with rubbery calamari, tasteless tzaziki, and an ordinary salad as an appetizer. The pork itself was served on a skewer with mashed potatoes. Before I even took a bite, the first thing that worried me was that the other diners at my table ordered different dishes — lamb, a mixed grill, and a beef dish — and yet they all came with the same brownish-​red sauce. Uh oh. The pork was warm rather than hot and the sauce was, once again, bland. The potato wasn’t bad though; at least that was hot. Trying some of the other dishes, the lamb was okay though it tasted the same as my pork because it was the SAME sauce. Same for the mixed grill — one part of which was basically a hamburger patty covered in that same disappointing sauce. Ugh. Moving on to dessert, my «walnut cake» was what I expected — not a «cake», but a small piece of decent tasting, but hard baklava. Finally, the Irish coffee I had? Well, maybe I’m just not used to it, but it was too stiff for my taste.
So the food was a disappointment, but what about the restaurant itself? It’s not a particularly big space but it’s in good shape and not overly done. What I did notice though was that as more people came in, things got very snug with me being nearly back to back with the table behind me. Service was decent however, if a bit slow as more people came in — there were notable pauses between courses where we sat with empty plates for a while. Finally, what about value? Well the combination menus are a decent deal, though now a bit questionable given the quality of the food. But, 150−180DKK isn’t too bad for a three course meal sans drinks.
My recommendation? If you really want Greek and are in the area of Eros, be my guest and swing by. If you want good food, however, keep walking; there are plenty of better restaurants within 5 – 10 minutes of this place.
