Great old school ambience, excellent food at a fair price. Our waiter was very entertaining.

we haven't had lunch here in gosh I don't know how long. But we won't wait that long to come again. Food was very good and service was beyond excellence. Our server, whose name unfortunately I did not get, could not have been nicer and more accommodating for a few extras we asked for. Definitely recommend. read more

Local favorite this side of Athens. Server had been there a minute. Highly recommend the Saganaki ( cheese they light on fire), spanikopita, dolmas, any of the dips, or Avgolemeno to start. Entree is up to you! Plenty of seafood (see the sign by the host's station), chicken, and meat options. We enjoyed the baklava for dessert. The music ranged from 2010's pop to Greek dance standards. Plenty of parking around the resto. It's an intimate place. Pending the time, you might want to call ahead and make reservations. Opa! read more

Quite unimpressed by this restaurant. My bf and I walked in on a weeknight. There were several takeout orders and two other tables. We ordered right away, two appetizers and two entrees. I enjoyed the calamari and the eggplant dip, the pita is soft and the bread service was nice too. The chicken souvlaki and mousaka are both good, especially the souvlaki. Sides are ok. The meal itself was not wow but priced right. I like the ambiance, it feels like a family restaurant. And the busser is a very nice woman. Coming from someone who has waited tables, I'm docking two stars because the big man host/waiter was not welcoming at all and seemed to have an attitude. Drop slid our plates in front of us like a diner would and walked off, did not acknowledge any time we said thanks, just seemed like he wanted to get off work early but the other tables stayed later than us (we were out by 8:50). Any other Greek restaurant is probably same food quality and price with nicer presentation and friendlier service. read more

Really love Greek foods and they do it up here, Everything was cooked to perfection and I don't live in the area so whatever I took home was able to be heated up the next day I don't do leftovers either so any leftovers used to be for my chickens, but I don't have chickens anymore so I did eat their leftovers but but like I said this thing is best for fresh read more

Delicious Greek / Mediterranean food off Greenville. I live pretty close to Kostas' and have actually been once years ago. I always forget about this spot as it is an unassuming standalone blue building off Greenville. Upon entering, you quickly realize that the exterior scene does not match the interior! On the outside the building appears a little run down. But on the inside, diners are treated to a small piece of Greece! Blues and whites along with very well appointed tables. The hosts are super friendly. I came for lunch with a friend and we had a great time. We started with the calamari. It was super tasty and not overcooked / rubbery like a lot of places. One unique thing is it was served with some kind of butter sauce instead of the usual marinara. We then each got gyro dishes. I got the gyro platter with a side salad and my friend got the gyro salad. Both were served with thinly sliced gyro meat. The meat itself was flavorful and super tasty. Not like the thicker, almost crispy stuff you get at other more casual Greek style spots. The salads were also delicious. Doused in some kind of house dressy they were not creamy so still tasted healthy! All in all Kostas is a great spot in the area that I need to stop passing over! read more

The service was exceptional, and the food was just ok. My meal had to be remade because they didn't cook my lamb chops to my specifications but other than that it was ok. I've had better Greek food in Dallas. The atmosphere and environment were quiet and enjoyable. The prices weren't acceptable for the food served in my opinion, but I must reiterate the service was exceptional. read more

Found out about Kostas via TIKTOK and wow. To start Donna is so sweet and immediately sat us. We ended up ordering the Kostas for two, and the soup was my FAVORITE. So thankful I tried it. The sagnaki and tzatziki was delicious. Now for the main course, the shrimp was cooked perfectly! The lamb lollipops were DELICIOUS. Along with the chicken and beef! Nothing missed, all the flavor was here. We Will absolutely be back! read more

You'll never leave hungry or unsatisfied - we've yet to try a dish we haven't loved. Could not recommend enough! read more

My fiancé and I went here last night, and it was truly one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time! The ambiance was spectacular- as soon as we sat down, I knew it was going to be a great night. Jimmy was incredible! All of his suggestions- from the delicious Greek wine to the flaming cheese- were right on the money and paired perfectly with his conversation. All in all, even though we couldn't have eaten another bite, we wanted to. Good thing we have leftovers today! We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing authentic Greek food !!! I went here with a group of friends after deciding we wanted to try avgolemono soup and finding Kostas was the only place nearby that had it. What a great decision! Our waitress Donna was very nice and helped out our table with some recommendations that were all excellent. I think all four of us had our jaws dropped for our whole meal. The spanakopita was the best I've ever had, the pita bread tastes like the high quality olive oil they use in everything, and my chicken lemonato was to die for. I tried everyone else's dishes too and was equally impressed by everything! Especially the octopus! My husband said it was the best cooked octopus he has ever eaten. This place is a gem. Everything delicious from apps to dessert. Can't wait to go back!! read more

The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend this restaurant. read more

We go to Kostas every once in a while. We went there on May 17 and couldn't believe the expansion of their menu. Everything tastes fresh and cooked well. More side were added like mixed vegetables snd stewed Okra, both very good. Go in and get some Saganaki (Opa!) or fantastic Hummus and Eggplant Humus for starters. We will be going there more often. read more

If you want authentic Greek food and you want to feel like you're actually in an authentic Greek restaurant hanging with the locals, this is the place for you! I recommend Jimmy as your waiter, he'll treat you to some nice conversation, and some great wine. The white table clothes on candlelit tables paired with the dim lighting and soft music create a super romantic (albeit usually this is my weekly solo dinner date with myself with the entertainment of Kosta and Jimmy) atmosphere that I'm sure a couple would enjoy. Fr this is my favorite spot to eat. Atmosphere aside, the menu is literally straight from Mykonos. As a tzatziki snob, this one lands. I'll be back again...and again and again and again :) read more

Kostas Cafe - Not quite dressed appropriately for the atmosphere but I love my lil hideaway corner - Greek Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We seen this place on TikTok and is hands down my new favorite Greek a spot. We ordered tzatziki & pita, the Athenian Combo (Lamb chops, boiled shrimp scampi and Souvlaki) and Lamp Chops. Everything we had was great. Our favorites were the Tzatiki and Lamp chops. Tzatiki had great flavor paired great with the soft pillowy pita. I can eat that everyday. The lamp chops had a perfect cook (medium) and seasoned well. The meat was tender and juicy. Can't wait to go back and dine in next time! If you want some good Greek food, give Kostas a try. read more

I was craving spanakopita for weeks and when I was visiting Dallas and found this little cafe the spanakopita was delicious fresh tick layers of spinach and my chicken souvlaki with the rice and green beans and the salad delicious. And the baklava was so fresh it was still warm . I will definitely visit again read more

This is my first public negative restaurant review in my life, but as a Greek and native Dallas-ite, I truly feel compelled to do so here. I've been to Kostas many times growing up, and this has devolved into an absolute 0/10 experience over the years. This is a clown show establishment ran by absolute clowns. The food is mediocre quality... the equivalent of a Greek McDonalds. You can expect long waits for your food, as well. On top of that, the service is of the lowest quality, which is rooted in their terrible senior management. I would advise anyone going to a Greek restaurant in DFW to chose somewhere - anywhere - else. You can certainly get better service and better food. read more

great food and service. the greek veal is a must try. great gyros. roasted potatoes are the best

I love this place! Small wholesome family restaurant with delicious authentic food! Thank you for the soup for our baby. He loved it!

I recently dined in to the restaurant for the first time I wasn't really impressed with the food. I got the spanakopita dish and the spanakopita was not good at all. It taste more like spinach and not enough cheese no butter on it no nothing. The green beans came with. It with some potatoes that tasted a little bit off. I don't think I will be back to this café even though people have said it was a very good café the waiter was foo but the food could've been a little bit better. read more

Great food, friendly staff and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommended. Going back asap

incredible food and service. Jimmy is incredible. truly, some of the best food that I have ever had.

Kostas has been a favorite in my family for decades! I keep coming back for the chicken souvlaki with okra and stewed green beans, which are some of the most delicious veggies I've ever eaten. Even the salad is addictively good! Back when I could eat gluten, I was a massive fan of the avgolemono soup with bread, and the saganaki (cheese flambéed right at the table) made a fabulous treat for special occasions. The fish is always excellent, and my dad adores the Greek Combo. You can't go wrong at this unassuming little gem! read more

Excellent food excellent service very unique potatoes is one of my favorites in the Greek salad .

Well priced. Authentic Greek food. Order the gyro by the pound to take home. Eat the lemon sole as your entree. Also recommend the octopus and calamari. It's a small quaint location. Nothing fancy, just good food. read more

My friends and I decided to have an early Christmas dinner together at Kostas. We had never been, but had heard great things about it. Well the things I've heard were on point. The food was amazing! I got the chicken Souvlaki and Shrimp. It was perfectly grilled and had a delicious sauce made from lemon and herbs. The veggie sides of potatoes and green beans were the best accompaniments. The Greek salad was fresh and I could drink the dressing, that's how good it was! We chatted with our server Jimmy, and he gave us their dessert they only have on the weekends. Then he told us how long they've been in business, which I remember correctly, has been 48 years! No wonder their food and staff are excellent. If I could give 10 million stars, I would. Definitely going to be a regular dining spot from now on. Thank you Jimmy for being the best! read more

I got invited here for Valentines, yeiii! They had an special menu for Valentines day. $25 and $35 dll plates includes soup or salad. They star with bred (or what I call bolillo) and butter. The appetizer that we ordered was zaganaki cheese which is fun (bc there is fire included) and good. I ordered Moussaka plate that pretty much looks like lasagna but it has a different taste and texture. I like it. I think it is a little pricey but the food, the place and the staff is really nice. I almost forgot! They gave us a free dessert! I may be back to change 4* to 5* read more

This is my first visit to Kostas in over 30 years, and we had a lovely experience: 1. The space was charming, cozy with blue walls and clean table linens. 2. Service was outstanding, with multiple people circulating to ensure our water glasses stayed full, serving food hot and fresh, boxing up out leftovers, and swooshing away dirty dishes. 3. The food was as good as the service, with very fresh hot house bread and butter, pita and hummus, large greek salad with gyro meat, and shrimp with feta in tomato sauce. Everything we had was flavorful and delicious. We will surely return soon to this charming family restaurant, now here for the past 50 years, plus or minus a smidge. read more

We got take out here tonight. It was supposed to take 15 minutes, but 30 minutes later the food still wasn't ready. I noticed a customer walking out with her bag and not soon after, an employee running after her with another bag. The same employee returns with that bag and hands it to me. Awesome: while there's virus around, we're just swapping bags like NBD. No apology or anything for the mistake. The food was borderline inedible. First of all, there was grease on every box due to poor packaging. Not only is the salad already dressed leading to soggy lettuce, the dressing leaked everywhere so I couldn't even take the boxes out without getting oil on everything. We ordered: Avgolemono soup: tasted like lemon juice mixed with cornstarch. Barely moved. Gyro plate: potatoes were hard. Pita burned. Aforementioned salad: soggy af Taramosalata: the staff had a doozy pronouncing this dish. Probably should make sure everyone is familiar with it before offering it on your menu. This was incredibly fishy and oily. I was hoping to have a Greek place to put in the normal rotation, but looks like I'll have to keep looking. read more
