Amazing southern food!
Jeremy M.

I needed to go to Charlotte for work and my first experience with true southern food was Kostas, it was so wonderful and flavorful, I had the catfish, collards and okra, the fish was so moist and wonderful, some of the moistest fish I have had and I live on the west coast, great greens and amazing okra! I would love to go back if I'm in the area

Tacos are awesome Definitely try them.

Tacos are on the special board .They are excellent.Kostas is always good ,everyone is very nice.Service is great.

Chicken gyro with tzatziki sauce and coleslaw - special of the day.
Erin H.

Simple, straight forward American food done well. I've only been able to stop in for lunch, and the menu covers sandwiches, hoagies, meatloaf, salads, and just about everything in between with decently priced daily specials. Plenty of parking and seating inside (lots of booths) and the staff is friendly and efficient. I've enjoyed their generous salads before, but on my last visit I had a chicken gyro with coleslaw and a side order of fries. The chicken was tasty and the tzatziki sauce was on point -- sometimes with these kind of sandwiches, the chicken is overdone and/or the sauce has no flavor. The coleslaw was excellent, too! Less than $10 and I headed back to work quite satisfied.

We just moved to Charlotte so we aren't familiar with a lot of restaurants. We absolutely loved Koasta!

Great Saturday morning spot...updated decor and menu, but still reminds you of the old Yorkmount Cafe.

As someone who spent years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I really missed having reliable…read moreMediterranean and Greek options when I moved to Charlotte. One of my favorite spots back then was Nick the Greek--the bowls were simple, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. So naturally, I went on a little search mission here to find something that could scratch that same itch. That's how I landed at Yaffo Kitchen. Close, but no cigar--but still very good. I visit both the Dilworth location off East Boulevard and the Plaza Midwood spot fairly often, and they've become dependable places when I'm craving Mediterranean flavors. The atmosphere is casual, bright, and welcoming. I especially appreciate the option to sit inside when it's blazing hot outside, and when the weather is nice, their covered patio with umbrellas is a great place to linger over a meal. Now let's talk about the schnitzel--because that's the star for me. I know schnitzel isn't the first thing people expect at a Mediterranean-style restaurant, but they do it right. It's made to order, thin, crispy, and coated in panko, served with a fresh slice of lemon that brings everything together. I usually pair it with a side salad, but if the mac and cheese is piping hot that day, that's my backup plan. Another thing I really enjoy is their drink selection. They carry Tractor beverages--non-carbonated organic teas made with cane sugar and no high-fructose corn syrup or preservatives. There are several flavors to choose from, and they're refreshing without being overly sweet. It's a small detail, but one I genuinely appreciate. I've also had the roasted chicken, which was surprisingly excellent--juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being heavy. And the pita? Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. One lesson I've learned the hard way: edit yourself when building a bowl. The first few times I went, I got excited and piled on too many toppings, and everything blended into one big, goopy situation where you couldn't really taste anything distinctly. It's like wearing all your favorite accessories at once--individually they're beautiful, but together they compete with each other. Less really is more here, and once you find the right balance, the flavors shine. Prices are reasonable for the quality, service is quick, and the restaurants are consistently clean and well-run. I believe they offer beer and wine as well, though I usually stick to the teas. While I'm still on the hunt for that exact bowl I used to love back in California--simple, balanced, and unforgettable--Yaffo Kitchen has definitely earned a regular spot in my rotation. Check it out, experiment with the menu, find your palate's favorites, and remember: life is too short not to eat well.

Quality of food is superb given their business model of pick as you go down the line. I saw their…read morechickens are roasting live so that speaks for the quality. Staff is kind, they are busy but will treat well, ambiance is clean and nothing cray, the food is what surprised me the most, they did well for Mediterranean cuisine. They got Kombucha too.
