My husband and I learned about this restaurant last week and decided to give it a try that same day. We arrived about 5pm and could tell it was going to be a busy evening, with a steady flow of customers arriving after us! We were seated right away in a corner booth. The menu was fairly extensive and decided to share the Broiler Mix because we wanted to try the variety of meats. Our meal came out quickly, within 10 minutes. The plate included 5 types of meats, fresh pita, tomatoes, French fries, and tzatziki. Everything was delicious, especially the chorizo which was my favorite. The staff was friendly and our server was attentive and prompt. The total came to around $40 which we thought was a great price for what we received. If I had to critique anything, I feel the presentation of the dishes could be improved, especially for the prices. The restaurant was also a bit too chilly. Otherwise, everything was great. We will be back! read more

My friend and I got sick after eating at this restaurant. We both ordered the same thing (the charbroiled chicken). My friend has lingering stomach issues and I threw up. I called the restaurant and they told me a bug is going around. They weren't very sympathetic. Don't eat here. read more

OMG! This place is a pure delight! The food of is phenomenal, and the service is excellent! They made us feel like family. We were traveling through the area on a Sunday, on the way down from Gig Harbor, WA to Moab, UT, and were sad they were closed, but made a point to stop for dinner on our way back through on Friday. We are so glad we found this gem! We are a bit starved for great Greek food in our area except the once yearly Greek Festival in Tacoma. The avgolemono soup was delicious! I had the the appetizer plate of Spanakopita and Tiropita, and they were out of this world! My husband had the sampler appetizer plate, and again, SO good! The baklava bread pudding was over the top delicious! I had to have a Greek coffee to round out this perfect meal. We highly recommend this charming gem of a restaurant! We will definitely be back! read more

My favorite spot in the valley. The menu is great, food is perfect and service is over the top awesome. I've been twice and the chef came out to greet us both times. I had the lamb yeero and my wife had the pork yeero. Both are great. Second time we both got the pork yeero and we shared the tatziki/hummus app. Portions are perfect and prices are fair. Keep your money local and try this place before going to a chain! I'll be a regular here. read more

The staff in the service are just incredible. The food is cooked fresh the fries were hot. I had the chicken peta my wife had the chicken and beef skewers. read more

Kosta's will celebrate their first anniversary this April and the delightful family owner / operators have so well dialed it in to be just right for delicious Greek food (husband Gus helms the kitchen) and warm hospitality (wife Jennie and DIL Breeana serving at front of house). And here is a lesson in never assume that also contains info some diners will find essential to know in choosing whether to visit Kosta's. We had not been in since last Fall when I was directed into "no gluten for you" medical lane and I assumed my choices here would be limited since many of the things were served had bread as key component or contained gluten products. But today we were hankering to eat Greek and I told Breeana about my new dilemma when she handed us menus. She said "no problem" and explained how several dishes on the menu could be modified and served gluten free. Perfect. We enjoyed a delicious late'ish lunch with a glass of wine each and left well fed in body and spirit. The menu doesn't seem to have changed much if at all in the last year when I compare the photos I took at opening to what the menu was today but some things have bumped up in price a couple of dollars which is to be expected with inflation in food supply costs in the last twelve months. As example, the roasted pork yeero meal, generously sized and scratch made, moved from $12.99 to $15.99. A great bargain is a cup of soup on days they have it at only $5. Today's Greek lemon, chicken rice soup was delicious. And my enjoys-gluten-with-abandon-hubby, lucky guy, was served a generous slice of grilled country bread to go with his cup. As a timing is everything note, Kostas is one of a few local places that serve straight through from lunch opening through dinner so if you like to eat 'linner' time of mid afternoon, as we sometimes do, Kostas works well for that. But note a handful of entree items are only available for dinner service starting at 5:00. Kosta's is one of those small places where family pride in ownership so nicely seasons the entire experience. We heard someone at the table of six women, all first timers, dining next to us ask the owner if she could accommodate a book club group of a dozen people with advance notice because she enjoyed Kostas so much she wanted to introduce friends to it. That seems to be how it has worked for them in the last year. Well deserved success. read more

The service was phenomenal. The waitress was personable and attentive. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing for the food. The fried zucchini tasted like eating fried fish. My steak pita had the worst tasting sauce I've ever eaten. I couldn't eat the sandwich. My wife wanted the pork and we were there early in the afternoon and they were already out. The baklava was anything but authentic. I was very disappointed with the food and would not recommend the restaurant to others. read more

Great little Greek taverna. Absolutely legit. Nice outdoor patio as well. Friendly efficient staff.

Hi. I'm Greek and this place has delicious Greek offerings. Friendly and delicious. Would love some live Greek music! The restaurant is clean and decorated well - I feel like I'm in Greece every time (the Greek music would take it up a notch for sure though)! If you have not been, definitely must try!! Everything I have tried so far is on point! read more

Kosta's serves the most authentic Greek food I have ever tasted. They literally order in their bass fish from Greece served with basmati rice and the most amazing savory sauce. So light and scrumptious taste!! Their consistency in meal after meal ordered on multiple occasions have all been spectacular. They take great pride with everything they serve to be fresh and only the best. Baklava bread pudding is to die for among many other tasty desserts like none other you have tasted. The owner who is from Greece and his lovely wife are genuinely invested in making your visit an amazing experience! It's a small authentic restaurant that makes you feel like you're in the Mediterranean. read more

I had been reading the many fine five star reviews and thought we would give Kosta's a try...Wow! so glad we did! My taste buds lit up just listening to Gus (chef/owner) describe the many Greek dishes he prepares in this family run restaurant. I couldn't decide what to order as everything sounded delicious. My wife wasn't all that hungry, so she decided on just a small Greek salad and the soup of the day for her order. I finally told Gus "just surprise me" as I couldn't make up my mind! (That turned out to be a good decision on my part!) First course: Our server, (Bree) brought out two perfectly chilled salads with the most delicious fresh vine ripened tomatoes. The addition of crisp cucumbers, red onion, capers, Kalamata olives, feta cheese and a nice balsamic olive oil dressing served on the side, absolutely delicious! Main course: Gus brought me out a huge sampler plater consisting of grilled chicken skewers that were tender, juicy and lightly seasoned with his own brand of Greek herbs and spices. A delicious pork gyro was nested on pita bread slices, accompanied with a delicious tzatziki sauce, marinated, onion, fresh, diced tomatoes all situated on a bed of french fries! Honestly, this was the best Greek dinner I've had outside of Athens! We will definitely be back for more! (Almost forgot, homemade baklava topped with vanilla ice cream sealed the deal!) read more

My last name is Greek. I'm told a couple brothers came over from Greece and settled in South Carolina. In fact, there is even a very small town in South Carolina called DacusVille. Well, I say town, but I think it's just an unincorporated community. But hey, how many people can say they have anything even resembling a town named after them? When I heard of Kostas in Eagle, I was very excited. Greek food seems to be a very hard restaurant to keep in the Boise area. Why I am not sure. Its sooooo good and flavorful. I went to Kostas with a friend of mine. Actually, it was my daughter's boyfriend. I know, right? Anyway, we arrived in the parking lot of Albertsons and found an unassuming place that is Kostas. I loved that they have an image of an olive branch by their name. I love it when a restaurant takes some pride in their culture and does not go all American. The decor of the place is wonderful. I really felt like I could be in Greece, which is for me, is half the eating experience. Next, loved the Greek music playing. More please! To start off, we had the Sagnaki. This one sounds Japanese, but it is Greek. They take a huge thick block of Feta cheese, dip it in Tempura batter (Which is japaneese) and they fry it. It comes with honey and strawberries. Id rate this one as is a 1. The cheese is way too thick, we barely got any strawberries and very little honey. Having more of both these would cut the very astringent mouth feel and taste of wayyyy to much cheese. Id cut the cheese down to a half or maybe even a third, add way more honey and way more strawberries. In short, this dish is in desperate need of balance. Next, we both had the lamb Giro. Of note is on their menu they go with the phonetic spelling of the word, so look for "Yeero" In Greek, the "G" is silent, so this is why most of us say Giro but Greeks pronounce it Yeero. The Giro was very good. For me, it needed more garlic, but it was very good. The meat was very tender and delicious. On my 1 to 10 scale, it gets a 8 or maybe 9. Lastly, we had 1 piece of baklava which was all that was left. I had never seen or tasted baklava like this. It was hard as a rock but had a very good flavor. I tasted lots of cinnamon and I think Nutmeg. On the outside was a crumb that was also very tasty. Id give their baklava a solid 7. If it had been fresh, and a bit larger, it might have been a knock out. The only thing I really have to take Kostas to task on is the use of Fries as a side for their Giros. Now, I have not yet been to Greece, so it might be that the fries craz as infected Greece, but I doubt it. Chances are in Greece you would get as a side things like cheese, grapes, Humas, or something like this. Adding fries takes an otherwise good Greek looking, feeling, and tasting meal and Amercanizes it. Didn't care for it at all I really hope that this place makes it. We need a good Greek place in the Boise area. read more

Best Greek Restaurant in Treasure Valley! We started with the Tholmas as an appetizer. I had the Mediterranean Salad with yeero meat, my husband had the lamb yeero with the Greek side salad. Absolutely delicious! Of course, we had to end our meal with the Baklava which included three pieces underneath a layer of vanilla bean ice-cream. Yes, and YES! read more

This new mom & pop restaurant is the real deal, serving authentic Greek cuisine brought to your table by the Chef himself who goes table to table checking on everyone. I went there Saturday night, the only time they serve their Kleftiko; a slow roasted lamb shank, potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes and red pepper, a feast that can easily feed two people. I love lamb, I would have preferred if it was cooked a little less, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Couldn't make it to dessert, so I would have to go back! read more

We stopped by Kosta's during a trip to Boise, and I was floored by the delicious food and exceptional service! Our waitress was Ashley, and I have to say that we haven't received such incredible service in a long time. She was genuinely friendly and very attentive without being intrusive. Even with us having a fussy baby, she made us feel so welcome and appreciated as customers. Moving on to the food... everything was outstanding!Being half-Greek myself, I have high standards when it comes to Greek cuisine, and they nailed every dish. We started with the spanakopita and tiropita appetizer. The serving size was quite large and probably enough for 3-4 people, both fillings were delicious, and the pastry itself was better than the traditional fillo pastry (it was more like a puff pastry). For our entrees, we ordered our favorite - Pastitsio, a layered pasta dish with Greek noodles, a spiced, tomato-based beef sauce, and a creamy, cheesy bechamel topping. Needless to say, it was amazing. We finished our meal with a hidden gem that wasn't on the menu - Bougatsa, a semolina based custard wrapped in fillo pastry and baked to golden perfection. It was lightly drizzled with a honey syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, a marriage of textures and flavors that was culinary heaven. And did I mention that the plating was on point as well? The visual presentations of each and every dish was almost too pretty to eat. Between the impeccable service from our waitress Ashley, the exceptional food, the creative cerulean decor, and the Greek music providing just the right ambiance, Kosta's Taverna is an absolute must if you find yourself in the Treasure Valley. read more

This is a family run business that has always been professional and delivers pretty good food with a generous serving of charm. Don't take reservations but seldom have a long wait. In truth, we frequent Greek restaurants in Canada and maybe those are more authentic - and more generous in the case of delicious roast lamb and lemon potatoes. But this is clearly the best Greek in Idaho. read more

I went into Kosta's last Friday. I was having a stressful day. The hostess came up to me and asked what I wanted. I told her I wasn't sure what I wanted. I was hungry but didn't feel like eating.

The best word to use is Genuine. Genuine food and genuine people. Leave pretentious attitudes to the expensive restaurants by the Eagle river, and enjoy a meal cooked for you like you were invited to Greek Sunday dinner. Incredible Greek food with incredible service. I have eaten at famed Greek restaurants all over the world, and this small tavern in Eagle Idaho is better than any of them. The food tastes like it came from your Greek Grandmother's book of family recipes. Easily read more
