Eat in or take out, this restaurant delivers the best gyro and souvlaki in town. Their rice pudding is also excellent. I like the authentic spices, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and prompt and friendly service. Tip: the manager told me that it is okay to park in the corner lot across the street, even though it is posted that it... More

Chicken can't be beat! The place is always busy because the food is of high quality and the service is very good. Their Greek salad dressing is unreal. The menu offers tons of great choices and the place is large enough to accommodate large groups. Great food at reasonable prices!.

I've eaten here over a dozen times. Always take out, always the same thing. Chicken Soulvaki Salad with feta. Its 10 bucks and its the best I've ever had, and I've had them all over the country, as well as this fair city. I hear a lot of people rave about the patio and other dishes, but this is just... More

We went for breakfast, and while the prices were cheap, the food was not very memorable. There are so many other options in Buffalo, try somewhere else.

Had not been here in 20 years, so we returned for lunch this past weekend in town and other than the the renovated facility - it's still the best Greek restaurant in Buffalo. Fantastic food and service...the place is truly a WNY institution along the lines of a Chef's - only better food.

If you are looking for great Greek food in the Buffalo area, then you have plenty of options. However, I will definitely be choosing Kostas every time. Located on Hertel Ave., near many of Buffalo's italian restaurants, Kostas is warm and inviting. Once you walk in, you notice immediately the restaurant is clean, authentic looking, and smells like heaven. The... More

Met with five friends for lunch this week. Quickly seated at a round booth in the rear corner of the restaurant. Very prompt service from our waitress who paid close attention to our needs. Orders arrived quickly and were all well prepared. Most of had the open souvlaki plates which were very generous in portion size and tasty. An enjoyable... More

We order take out from here at least twice a month. The food is always great. The service is always good. About one out of every three orders they will forget something, usually its something small like an extra side of greek dressing, but one time it was the salad that came with my dinner. Despite this we continue to... More
