First time visit, now long term customer. I found this place looking for pizza places and saw that the Greek food looked great. My wife and I gave it a shot and were very impressed by the food. First off, the service and services were good and very nice. The restaurant is older and the decor is dated, but I didn't come for decoration, I came for good food. I very happy to say, the food was very good. We started with the dip duo which had tzatziki and hummus. Both were delicious. They had great flavor and served with the seasoned pita bread, made it that much better. We shared the octopus and Greek wings for dinner. The wings were excellent. Great flavor, and a nice grilled exterior. The meat was juicy and very flavorful as well. The octopus was good but not great. It had good flavor and was grilled. My only complaint was that some of the pieces were a little over cooked and had some hard burn spots. Definitely going back to try the pizza. Saw several come out of the oven and they looked excellent.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA EVER!!! We went there for a Greek meal and LOVED it!! The service was quick, friendly and great. While there the owner told us we haven't had pizza until we have his pizza and gave us a slice to enjoy. It was delicious!!! We decided to go back the next day and try their Margherita Pizza. WOW!!!! He was 100% correct. It truly was the MOST DELICIOUS EVER!!! So much so that on Mother's Day we drove all the way there, an hour away, for two XL Margherita Pizza's for our family gathering. The pizza was a major hit!!!!! Will definitely be back again. Soooooooo worth the drive!!!!!
Kostas Greek Eatery - what a hidden gem! Everything here tastes fresh and homemade, and you can really tell the food is made from scratch. This is an owner-operated spot -- and yes, he's actually the one cooking for you, which makes the experience feel even more authentic. They have wood-fired Greek-style pizzas made right in front of you, which was such a cool touch. The hummus was super lemony and garlicky, served with fresh warm pita. I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter and it was excellent -- the chicken was moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Our friends ordered the octopus (not pictured) and I stole a bite -- easily a 10/10. Since everything is made fresh, the entrees took a little longer to come out, but the appetizers arrived quickly and were definitely worth the wait. Overall, such a great find and we'll definitely be back!
I can't say enough about this restaurant. Being a Greek woman and growing up in Greek restaurants my father and uncle owned my whole life this place touched my soul. My YiaYia and Papou would have loved everything. I almost cried eating their food it reminded me of home so much.
We went to a local food festival that was underwhelming and needed to get some lunch. A search of nearby places lead us to Kosta's. It's a (Greek) blue building with free parking. On entering, your senses are greeted by the aroma of pizza. And there is a pastry case right in front. We love Saganaki and ordered an appetizer to share. We all got gyro sandwiches because that's we were in the mood to eat. But we had to try the pizza. So, we shared a slice just so we could taste it. The Saganaki came with a plate full of pita bread drowning in olive oil and topped with spices and Parmesan cheese. We requested a plate of plain pita because of a few food allergies at the table. (We were not warned that the bread would be flavored.) The server gladly brought some. We wished our cheese was set aflame at our table. It was not. Nevertheless, with a squeeze of lemon, it was salty and tasty. We all liked our taste of the pizza. We agreed that it was very New York style and worth a meal the next time. The pitas were chock full of gyro meat that was delicious. Three of us could not eat raw onions, so they eliminated it. I have been to other Greek places where they will saute the onions for you. There was no offer of that service here, but we did not ask. Also, when we got the bill, we were charged for two side dishes of pita. We were never told that the Saganaki did not come with pita. Who eats it plain? The restaurant should be transparent with their charges. Otherwise, we enjoyed the food and definitely hope to return. One appetizer, 4 gyro sandwiches, 2 sides of pita, with tax and tip was $79.
I tried Kostas for the first time yesterday. I was so happy to find this gem of a restaurant. It is rare to find an owner operator that is so dedicated to food quality as I found here. Food is very delicious and everything they put out is with palatable intention. I drove 40 minutes to try Kostas after seeing them on "one bite". I will be coming back for sure.
I am so glad I found this little neighborhood gem! We got the hummus and falafel apps. Both were delightful but the star was the toasted and seasoned pita wedges served with the hummus, and they refilled our pita. Mains were the classic gyros and chicken souvlaki. The most generous pita sandwich I have ever had. The table near us got the chicken parm, which was a huge plate. I can't wait to comeback and work the menu. Servers were very attentive, prices reasonable, and nice portions.
Omg I am so happy to find this neighborhood gem. Their sign says "where everyone is family" and that's totally the vibe I get. Staff all seems to be Greek-speaking so it really feels legit. The dolmades are my favorite and I will make the 30 min drive just to eat these again. They are stuffed with (what appears to be) beef and a little bit of rice. Perfect texture, lemony sauce with fresh herbs. Soft grape leaves. My husband likes the gyro pita which has ample meat (lamb and beef) and crisp salad veggies. A slice a pizza is only like $3.25 so he loves to add a slice onto his meal if he's hungry. We saw a sign that the barstool pizza guy rated it very highly and he agrees it's great. The fresh garlic pita they gave us was an unexpected treat. Fluffy warm bread with chunks of garlic and parm and amazing tasting olive oil. Green beans are also great. Moral of the story is try them!! They even have parking. Very casual atmosphere (shorts tees etc.)
Had a great first experience here! The half-and-half, hummus and tzatziki dip was amazing. The warm and flavorful pita that comes with it was excellent. I also really enjoyed the chicken gyro as well. Tender chicken and delicious flavor. For dessert we split the pineapple cake that was homemade. Very fresh and light tasting. All of the other desserts in the case looked wonderful as well. Definitely would like to return soon to try more.
Was here with a ladies group. We were seated in a separate room with 2 long tables. There was a lot of people. Unfortunately, the service didn't seem to handle that well. We were would food & drinks for about an hour. I think they could have had an extra server & maybe that would have helped. The best part was the food. I was super impressed. I ordered spanakopita entree that came with a Greek salad. You could have ordered lemon potatoes, string beans or rice- I think. I chose the salad. I really enjoyed it. I took a slice of pizza to go. As a former NYer- I am very picky about pizza. It was delicious & reminded me of my pizza back in the day. Thin crust. I will definitely come back to try their Greek style pizza- maybe gyro- that sounds great. I was privileged to meet Kosta & we reminisced about NY Greek Restaurants & Nightclubs. All in all, a great experience & can't wait to come back!

Kostas (Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest.) I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this special establishment sooner. It's one of our favorite places! I've actually never eaten inside the restaurant because I order delivery every time. As a frequent Uber Eats user, Kostas is one of my go-to choices. The pizzas are outstanding, large, and cooked to perfection. The gyros are my favorite: huge, delicious, and packed with flavor. They can be a bit messy, so I always order the tzatziki sauce on the side. The French fries are excellent as well. Crispy, flavorful, and always a treat. One thing I really enjoy is adding Greek beer to my order. I love trying the different varieties they have available at the time. Cheers to Kostas for consistently delivering great food and authentic Greek flavors! I have lots more great pictures posted that didn't sync to my review. Check them out. Cheers! read more

Pizza was very good. We were going elsewhere and saw the One Bite review and decided to give it a try. One of the better SoFlo pies. The use of Gyro is BRILLIANT and delicious. The bacon was plentiful but should have been better done. Great crust and reheated well. read more

We had a great lunch at Kosta's. It was my first visit. The outside doesn't look too great but we were surprised inside as it was small but clean and looked like a Greek restaurant in Greece! We had the Greek Salad and chicken Souvlaki Pitas and enjoyed both. The chicken was a little dry but had a good flavor. We were also pleasantly surprised because this is a Greek restaurant and Pizzaria. We were offered a slice of pizza to try and it was a really thin crust and flavorful! We even got to Experience the owner breaking a plate as entertainment for the large family dining with their kids! The menu looked good so we will return for the pizza and will try some other Greek dishes. Prices were ok but parking was tough so we parked accross the street at Walmart. read more
Our monthly meeting at a restaurant brought us together at Kosta's Greek eatery. We had a great time, the food was amazing, at first I was a bit disappointed because I felt like eating a chicken lemon soup and a taramosalata but unfortunately it wasn't on the menu, so I ordered the Greek wings and the cheese pizza. A lot of the guys ordered mostly, Greek specialties, we all enjoyed our dinner. It was excellent! Our server Layla was amazing, she was alone on the floor and she was professional, super efficient and friendly. She also has a beautiful smile. The ambiance is of a Greek eatery, I guess. We're planning to go back there soon. read more
The hype is real! Delicious and fresh greek food. Don't go hangry as you may have to wait a while for the food to come out fresh but we'll worth it. The owner makes you feel welcomed and like family. I love the fried calamari app and the gyro meat is great too. read more

Wonderful selection on the menu. We chose to have a Gyro sandwich and a chicken souvlaki sandwich. One with french fries. The service was brisk and the ambience is casual but clean. The pizza looks amazing and we will try it next time. We were here another time and ordered the grilled octopus, which was fantastic. read more
My wife is a big fan of octopus, and greek restaurants are very good at it. We visited Kosta's for the octopus but will come back for the friendly and attentive service. The venue is a stand alone building. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive. The octopus was excellent, and so was the pizza my wife and I shared. If you are in the area looking for a good pizza or and excellent Octopus, drop by Kosta's Greek Eatery. read more

The best pizza in south Florida that I've tried thus far. I love the crust, flavor, and toppings available. The price is a little higher than those in the surrounding area but when the quality is this good it's worthwhile. The staff inside have always been a help to me when I had questions and when I make add-on purchases last second. By the way, not only is their pizza phenomenal but the homemade desserts are amazing. My personal favorite is the blueberry cheesecake. read more
We were looking to try out an authentic restaurant where we never been before and Kosta'S Greek Eatery came up on Yelp with really good reviews. We decided to try it. And we're not disappointed. First of all, all employees were really nice and we even met the owner Kosta who was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us to try their delicious pizza that was really good with extra crisp bottom and sides. Not the soggy pizza other restaurants may offer. All the food was very flavourful and delicious. I loved the fact they add lots of spices that gives sooo much flavour to each dish, sauce, potatoes. We would definitely come back again. read more

I used to eat at Kosta's a long time ago back in their old location. When they moved, probably a decade now, I had some experiences with it taking a very long time to get our order. It was enough to turn me off from this place. HOWEVER...I decided to check out the reviews on Yelp to read peoples' recent experiences here. All the good reviews made me cast aside my doubts and come back. And boy am I glad I did! I had really missed their food, and it was just as delicious as ever. The restaurant is very comfortable with several tables and a large bar area that you can sit and dine at as well. There is some unique art hanging from the ceiling and photos of Greece and I believe the owners' families. At least when seated at the bar, it appears that you do not have one sole server, as many of the servers helped us with taking our orders and refilling drinks, etc. The service was very friendly and attentive. We decided on the spanakopita platter for me with Greek salad. My husband got the Gyro platter. There was no way I was going to go back to Kosta's and not have their lemon potatoes, which are a must have. We placed the order and I nervously eyed my watch. Rest assured, our order came out in normal time, and as I took my first forkful, I knew they had completely won me back. The salad ingredients were very fresh and crisp, and as you can imagine, they use delicious feta and olives. The lemon potatoes were just as I'd remembered, with the perfect balance of citrus. The spanakopita was generously filled with spinach and feta cheese. My husband loved his Gyro platter. prior to being served our main courses, they provided us with warm pita topped with delicious Greek. The portion sizes are generous., especially for the price, and we were able to enjoy our leftovers for lunch the next day. I'm already ready to go back again, and it's only been a couple days. I feel bad that I missed out on many years of enjoying their food, but glad to see my old concerns are just that. OLD. If I can make one request to the owners: PLEASE bring back the grilled calamari dish that you had at your old location. That was some of the best calamari I ever had, and sometimes it is hard to find it served grilled and not fried. read more

Enjoyed the large Greek salad- it's big, excellent fresh humus and meatball sub! Very good service and large portions. Next time I'm getting the octopus !! First time customers get a free slice of pizza to sample- a great gesture and opportunity to try out pizza which was very good! Always support your local pizza bakers!! read more
It our go to Greek place! The spanakopita is the best we've had. Jose our waiter is always on top of things. He recommended fresh garlic on the spinach pizza and it was amazing. Albeit gorgonzola cheese! I love the greek music and family feel. Sometimes they smash plates! read more

Holy cow, what a treasure in Pompano! Had I known this place existed, I would've been here years ago. Saw it reviewed on the show "Check Please". This place is as good as it gets as far as authentic Greek cuisine. The staff was so friendly, warm and attentive! They make everything on site, including their desserts and all their crusts. We were greeted by our friendly waitress, who gave us a slice of pizza because we were first time patrons. My husband ordered the Gyro with lemon potatoes, and I ordered the green beans and stuffed peppers. The pita is freshly grilled and their tzatziki sauce is outstanding. Both dishes were extremely tender and flavorful ... they were Huge portions and we definitely had enough leftover for a couple of days. I will totally be back and bringing my friends and family here. Dress casual, it's a very casual laid-back place. read more
