First of all, we were treated like VIP's by the owner and by his wife Maria! What a great people they are , they will go an extra mile to make your experience memorable. The food was delicious, freshly made at the restaurant and the portions so big that 2 people could eat with only one plate. The Gyro sandwich is probably one of the best I ever had , zatsiki was flavorful and fresh. We also order the feta platter appetizer and it was so good!!!! They serve a very creamy feta from Greece and the portion was really impressive. I can't wait to go back and try other things from their menu, and last but not least, the prices are by far the best you can find in any Greek restaurant in this area. For 2 people we spent $45 including the tip ! Don't miss this wonderful Greek restaurant, you will love it! Thank you to the owners , they are great! BB

Today I learned the husband has been baking since 1987 and makes all of the desserts in-house from scratch and wow, it shows. We tried the carrot cake and chocolate cream pie... holy buckets.

My husband wanted a beer and asked for "one of the Greek beers" as there weren't any descriptions or options on the menu. Our server wrote it down and went on their way. My husband then commented that they must only have one Greek beer, because he wasn't given any options; the menu didn't list any specific beers either. After our drinks arrived I noticed our server smoking a cigarette outside on the sidewalk right outside the restaurant and right next to other dining tables. This was unsettling, and I kind of didn't want them handling our food after that. However, our food arrived promptly and was very good. I was surprised to find potato salad in my Greek salad, but it worked! The gyros were delicious as well and the pita bread was great. At one point we wanted more tzatziki sauce but our server was no where to be found. After a while they finally stopped by and we were able to ask for more sauce and our check. All together it was not the best experience. The food was very good but it was the experience that will keep us away. I find it unacceptable to have employees smoking out front of the restaurant, ESPECIALLY when it is in the outdoor dinning area. I am sure there is an area behind the restaurant that they can smoke if they need to. If I would have seen then when looking for a restaurant, I would have kept on walking.

This the world famous Baklava Cheesecake. Evenly balanced as a desert not to sweet. Lovely and creamy. Well worth the $4.95.

I just had the most amazing Greek food experience Wow is all I can say. The flavors were out of this world and everything was simply delicious. We ordered a gyro platter, Greek salad with all the freshest ingredients, and to top it all off, the owner was incredibly kind and gave us some baklava for dessert! I'm still savoring every bite and can't help but feel a sense of pure joy. If you're ever in the mood for some incredible Greek cuisine, you have to give this place a try.

The portions were generous, the gyros were huge, and even the small Greek salad was fresh, crisp, and much larger than I expected. I definitely felt like I got a lot of food for the money, which is becoming harder to find these days. If I'm being completely honest, though, I don't think it's the best representation of authentic Greek food in Tarpon Springs. The food was good, but it didn't quite have that "wow" factor I was hoping for. That said, value matters too, and Costas delivers on that. Would I go back? Absolutely. If you're looking for a satisfying meal with generous portions, friendly prices, and a location away from the busiest tourist crowds, I think it's well worth a visit.

Sure Hellas down the street has some razzle dazzle, and it's good, but that's not what a traditional Greek restaurant in Greece feels like. I heard the meats here were phenomenal so we went by to give it a shot. I had the pork souvlaki and also a chicken souvlaki wrapped in bacon. My daughter had a chicken souvlaki with pita. Let me start with my favorite, which was the pork souvlaki. It was all great but if I could do it again I'd have just gotten a bunch of those and called it a day! Possibly my favorite pork souvlaki I've ever had in the US. The bacon wrapped chicken came with a lemony sauce I've never had before and it was amazing as well! My daughter loved her chicken souvlaki with pita, and honestly the Pita was my favorite part of her meal (yes I tried it). Seemed so fresh and it was delicious. The server was also the owner and she had her grandchildren come visit while she was serving us. She brought them over to say hello and she spent a great deal of time talking to my daughter and I as well. Such a wonderful lady and really made us feel at home. In fact when I was inquiring about the pork gyros after we had already eaten, she just brought me some so I could taste it for free. Super thoughtful and kind. The bread they brought us out as a free appetizer was delicious as well and different than what I'm used to. Back to the ambiance though, the narrow sidewalk in front of the business with tables and chairs seem to be filled with old timers throughout the day, and once again not to beat a dead horse but THAT is the true home style Greek restaurant feeling. Will be going back to visit these great people again soon, and so should you!

Brought us menus, small plates, bread and olive oil to dip. We ordered the zucchini fritters to start, and the pork gyro platter to share. The gyro meat was excellent, tender, cooked to perfection. The platter included sliced onion, tsatsiki, sliced tomatoes as well as pita bread, and underneath it all were French fries. Now to the bad, and why only 3 stars. Our bread was good, lightly toasted but the olive oil served with it to dip?? Tasted like vegetable oil, not authentic olive oil at all. Or perhaps a blend? The zucchini fritters were over cooked, almost burnt, a bit greasy and I assume that's because they were deep fried. And though the flavor was passable, I could taste a hint of herbs, the inside was too doughy and pasty. I've had them in Greece so I know what they're supposed to taste like, and that's not it. The French fries were tasteless, and lukewarm unfortunately taking away from the delicious slivers of pork in the platter, although the serving was generous, I even had a couple that tasted old? The restaurant was dingy, stacked drinks on the flour, dirty walls, not good. And my husband said he hoped I didn't need to use the restroom as it was not pleasant. We probably won't be back unfortunately.
