This is one of the finest establishments I have been to in this area. The atmosphere is awesome. They actually have authentic Turkish outfits that customers can put on to take pictures. The food was delicious the staff, exceptional, friendly and helpful. I won't hesitate to make Constantine's a regular on my list of restaurants I frequent.

We always enjoy Constantine's and were glad they were open Thanksgiving Day. The food is delicious and a large variety of choices. It is moderately expensive so we don't go often, but great for a special occasion. The mushroom soup and other mushroom dishes are our favorites. Highly recommend.

Wonderful restaurant in Gastonia. The lavash is served when you are seated and the butter is a burning butter candle. Fascinating. We had the sultan's favorite and the mousakka. Both were so flavorful, and delicious. Tastes like the flavors were blending in a pot all day long. I actually liked this mousakka better than many that I have had in Greek restaurants. The entrees arrive covered by a copper dome and then lifted to reveal the beautifully plated food. Quite the ceremony...
