Costas Taverna Greek Restaurant And Ouzo Bar

The Greek food at this restaurant was average, or perhaps I am not a fan of Greek cuisine. We ordered from the Souvlaki Platters section and tried the falafel, chicken, and lamb. Each plate came with Greek salad, pita bread, four sauces, and a choice of side dish. The falafel was disappointing, as it was not as crispy as described and was overly oily. The chicken was enjoyable, similar to sheesh taowe from a Lebanese restaurant. I would recommend this dish. The lamb was just okay, tasting similar to tikka from a Lebanese restaurant. For dessert, we tried the baklava, which was good but not as delicious as what I have had in Turkish restaurants. Overall, this restaurant is a good option for Middle Eastern food in Christchurch.

I had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The calamari was good but not spectacular, the roast lamb was quite good, and the roasted vegetables were fine.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. I decided to try the moussaka, which was heavenly. I highly recommend this dish, as well as the overall dining experience. The cocktails were also fantastic.

Visited Costas while on holiday and from the recommendation of the host at our accommodation. Did not regret coming here. The food was huge and flavorsome and myself and my partner both walked away happy. He ordered the beef patties plate and enjoyed the selection of dips and pita. I had the kleftiko which was great and massive. The lamb was exceptionally tender and the dish in general was loaded with veggies. It was a tad salty which made eating the feta on top hard as it became a bit too much but this is a small criticism. The staff here were lovely as well and very attentive.

I was super impressed with this restaurant. We went for dinner with a group of friends. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. I ordered pita breads with dips for a  starter and the hummus was the nicest I have ever tasted. I had fish of the day for a main which came in lovely creamy sauce with nice grilled veges. Our starter's and drinks came quickly and the mains did not take too long. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant. It is a little over the price range that I usually go for but I felt the quality really made it worth it. I was also very impressed by the environmental responsibility of this restaurant we got our left over's in a takeaway container which was one of those cardboard biodegradeable ones and even the plastic bag it came in was biodegradeable.
