The food at this place was absolutely delicious. I haven't had a better hummus anywhere else I've…read moreever been, and the Saganaki was the best. My only reasoning for not doing 5 stars was because the server was very friendly with everyone in the restaurant, but my table. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I don't think anyone upset her by anything we could've said. I know we asked her what was her favorite on the menu, and where the restrooms were, but that shouldn't have made her uncomfortable and unfriendly. I know people aren't regulars here, because I overheard a table talking about "Where we live in Michigan" and it's a touristy destination. So, anyway... The location was great. They had an acoustic singer outside and he was going a phenomenal job, and I had a great time watching everyone walking by and some stopped to take pics of the guy singing, and also of the building. Not sure what was so special about the restaurant, but definitely popular with some. I will give this place another try eventually just because of the food. Hopefully we'll get another person waiting on us, or at least be more friendly and attentive.

First time visiting the sponge dock and we were hungry. Decided to go in and were able to be seated…read morequickly. The place was pretty packed! But despite this, service was actually very good. We were greeted immediately with our orders taken. I ordered a sangria but realizing it was happy hour so I was surprised when she brought me 2, and I'm not complaining! Sangria was delicious. The Greek combo platter was big enough for hubs and I to share and also had some to take home. Everything on the plate was delicious. I loved the Greek salad. We were supposed to get a side of veggies with our combo but never received it. Didn't realize until we left but it was so much food anyways. Definitely a place I'm adding to my fav list for when I'm in the area.

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.

I am on the fence about this place. The restaurant itself is lovely. The hostess and wait staff are…read morefriendly and welcoming. The food is good. It's not fantastic. I will not crave it, but it's not bad. If we were in the area and needed to eat, I would definitely stop there again. The notable exception is the Arancini. They would be better with a little meat in the center. We've enjoyed them twice now and they're delicious. What is bad, and why I gave it three stars is the bar. When I go for a nice night out, I want a delicious cocktail. It makes their night feel special. Their bartender is terrible. My drink tasted like they'd used a mix and added vodka. It did not taste fresh or specially made. It tasted packaged. Worse than that, it originally arrived wrong. I ordered the pomegranate martini without the sugar rim. In my opinion, the sugar rim would have made it too sweet. Skipping that step makes the bartender's job easier, right?! I got a sugar rim. When the server arrived and put it down, she immediately noticed and brought it back for the bartender to fix. This is not the first time I've had a bad drink there. The last time we went I got an Italian Margarita. Horrible! I have never had a drink that was actually undrinkable. Now I have. Amaretto has no business in a margarita. A margarita is supposed to be fresh and bright. The Amaretto overpowers everything. One sip and I sent it back. It was replaced with a lemon drop. I did enjoy that very much, but what I didn't enjoy was the rock candy garnish. Again, too sweet. Who do they think they're bartending for, children?! Ditch the sugar!

My husband got the Chicken Pita platter with soup and rice. He said it was delicious. It was freshly cooked. I got the chicken souvlaki platter which had two huge skewers of chunks of white meat chicken. It was brushed with a garlic sauce and grilled. It was served with a Greek side salad and I chose the veggie of the day, peas. The chicken was moist, the sauce was garlicky genius. The Tzatziki and freshly grilled pita were also outstanding! The portions were huge and everything tasted freshly prepared. Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

Had a delicious baked grouper Plaki dish with tomatoes, onions, olive oil & Greek seasonings and rice to sip up all that deliciousness and clean the plate. I sent back the empty plate to the chef to show him how much I liked it! Big tip is to order the perfectly cooked gyro meat as a side order which brings a large pile of gyro meat big enough to share around the table. Without question order the Greek beer called FIX - crisp clean lager better than other better known Greek breweries Friendly attentive service.

I read all the wonderful reviews, and decided to try it for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more It's in the same hidden plaza as Pomodoro Pizza. You can't see it from the road. You just have to make a turn near the Goodwill store on SR60 and drive up to Walmart to see it. It's to the left of Walmart. It's currently set up for take away orders. They are still in the middle of renovations. I'd love to dine in one day, but it's a very small space and the kitchen takes up most of it. I hope they can expand within the plaza because currently they wouldn't be able to fit a large crowd of people. The service was very friendly. It's family owned. I read an article about them while waiting for them to pack up my order. The owner is originally from Algeria, and perfected his culinary skills while living in Paris. The menu also has some great pictures of what they have to offer (Halal cuisine with vegetarian and gluten free offerings). The aroma was so enticing as I was headed home with the goods. It tasted just as good as the scent. I'm not a huge falafel fan, but decided to tries these on a whim. They were delicious. I'd order them again, but next time it will be in a wrap. The mixed grill was very good. You get your choice of 3 meats. I opted for beef, chicken, and lamb kabob. The meat was a very good quality. All 3 meats were tender, and seasoned well. I love that they include slices of grilled squash and other fresh veggies on top. It all sits on a huge portion of Taza rice. This meal is enough for 2 people. I also got the vegetarian Mujadarra because the description of it sounded so yummy. It was also a huge portion of rice mixed with lentils, sweet onions, and other spices. I will definitely be back to try more menu items. The Baba Ganouj made with eggplant is something I want to try. I'm also very interested in their salads and wraps. They have so many of them (some of them spicy). It's a great value and such a great assortment of Mediterranean items.

I loved the chicken, but then when I tried a bite of their lamb, I was a little sad I didn't just get that. So so so good! They cover it in tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, onions and tomatoes. Nothing is skimped on. Also get their Greek fries - they had seasoning on them and crumbled feta. One order is enough to share between 3-4 people. Besides the delicious food, they have a huge selection of desserts in a case to choose from. We were all pretty stuffed from the main food but decided to split some of the desserts - and they were also great. Side note - they also serve some select beer and wine. Definitely check this place out if you are shopping in the Spongedocks. So worth it!!!
