“Oh my goodness- the samosa chaat platter was SOOOOO good tonight! Thank you Rehan!“

“We had an incredible experience. The service was fast, the staff were welcoming, the food was delicious. Looking forward to try more items on the menu soon!“

“Costiera is small, inviting, and absolutely worth a visit. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out as impeccable. The staff was attentive without ever hovering, quick with suggestions, and made us feel genuinely taken care of.

When we walked in, there were two tables available right away, but they asked if we’d mind waiting just a minute so they could seat us at a much better window table. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way these days, and we really appreciated it. Our server checked in often, was kind, and gave fantastic recommendations that made us feel like we ordered the very best of the menu.

The food was excellent across the board. The pasta was perfectly cooked and tasted even better than it looked. The octopus was a standout dish—tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was balanced, well-executed, and memorable.

All in all, we had a flawless experience here. Costiera delivers on service, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for something a little different done really well.“

“We had a delicious dinner tonight! My 10 month old loved the kabobs and pita and my 4 year old loved the hummus and fries! Can’t wait to cone back soon! The chance to see Santa tonight was lovely, festive fun!“

“bad service and over charched.“

“Even though it’s disappointing that they aren’t 100% vegan any more, I’m so happy to have tried the vegan Shawarma. I can’t stop thinking about it.“

“Brooklyn born here n have had it all. The Halal guys, Adels plus countless more. When I heard about this place I couldnt wait. Heres my review. 8.7/10. The rice oh wow the rice is a 10, amazing flavor. The chicken is a 10! very flavorful and fresh. The beef/lamb is a 7.9 at best. Which was dissapointing. As this part is my favorite. Its typical pre made gyro and that leaves you wanting the real thing. It was fresh and cooked well. My shwarma scale is tough, Ive had the best. All over. I added pita and it was delicious and warm. The sauces are very good too but a little watery. Overall Im happy, filled and Impressed. I got a L coke, added Pita and it was only $16. Perfect. They will get even better. Go support them. You will be happy.“

“Dependable. Friendly. Relaxed.“

Thanks so much Pitamore for the great service and delicious eats!!“

“Great food! Will order again!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Ouzo Bay. The swordfish was among the best I have ever had -- well seasoned and moist, not overcooked. My husband had the lamb shank and it melted in your mouth. They could have added some additions to the dish, however. The baklava was a nice end to the meal, but it wasn't the layered variety that is traditional. With two drinks, the bill adds up quickly. There is also a 3-4% service charge (not explained).“

“5/5 Service. Was very helpful!“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“I celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday. It was a beautiful experience and budget friendly. The food was great and customer service was very good. The ambience was nice and the music was not loud. I am giving a 4 star only because we hoped the place would have a little dessert for the birthday girl. Overall my experience was great. Will recommend.“

“After seeing the reviews we had to check out this place. We came for the early showing of belly dancing. First, the interior is wonderful - a stark contrast to the bright outside, you're immersed in a nice intimately lit environment. The lighting decor is great and photographic. The food is amazing. My wife and I shared a Sultan's feast, which gave plenty of variety in tastes and plenty to take home for left overs. The belly dancing was awesome. The performer started on stage and then visited all the tables. No matter where you were in the spacious restaurant, you got to see her dance up close. Service was top notch - our server was very attentive and the automated serving robots were cool to watch. Cazbar is a unique blend of modern and traditional Turkish. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“The Greek salad from Cava was the first one I’ve had that EVER finished. I’m talking the kind of delicious where you finish and you’re already wanting more despite the fact that your stomach is full. 10/10 will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!“

“Thank you to Dimitri and the Black Olive staff for a wonderful dinner and memorable evening. The food was remarkable, the wine spectacular and the service splendid. Worth the hour plus drive!“

“Best food in Towson hands down! I drive Uber in the area and this is where I stop almost 2-4 times a week for the chicken cheesesteak. Tried a few other things on the menu and everything was great, but the chicken cheesesteak is just too good!! Great owners also, I don't even like a customer when I go, I feel like family.“

“I went there for work from Oregon in 2023. One day I went very cool, I was very hungry. I had to go to a restaurant that had halal food, which was about 40 minutes away from the beautiful restaurant. I had to go, I finally got there. The food they served me was delicious, but. I loved it. I liked it very much. I am grateful for the excellent service“

“love there chicken and rice.can not wait for the weekend“

“Popped in for dessert and adult beverages, absolutely loved the the bartender Bong! I doubt I am spelling her name correctly and I apologize, cute name though. Gentleman in the suit at the host stand with the grimace, was a little off putting but Bong reined it in with genuine hospitality. Tasted a chilled ouzo for the first time and it brought me back to my first black jellybean. The galaktoboureko dessert, I would love to try freshly made as this one was reheated so the custard broke and the pastry was soggy. Baklava was sweet, flaky and served with ice cream. The atmosphere was awesome, bar was very clean, bathrooms was nice ( but could use some fresh toilet seats). Planning to give the menu another try and sit outside on the bay.. one day.“

“Excellent food, fresh, not a huge amount.“

“I went there and ordered the jerk pork with rice and peas with steam cabbage on the side, food was one of the best I have since I've been in the states ain't gonna lie❤️❤️❤️ not to mention the interaction with the cashier I didn't get her name but she gave the best service I had “

“Good news, bad news. The croquettes and tuna tartar were delicious. The olives and octopus were okay. The paella was terrible. The menu lists all these ingredients that were clearly not included. The chicken breast on top was hammered. The dish was very oily and there was no socorrat which is the quintessential paella characteristic. I'm sure it's not easy to train staff how to do this well so take it off the menu until you get it right.“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“
