It may not look like much, but the Greek food is so good. Go for the authenic dishes - moussaka, pastisio. The salads are good - great feta!
And, they have a good selection of beers from domestic to local breweries on draft and bottles (high life in can). Many shot and beer specials too!

Definitely not what I was expecting. Place looks like a dive bar, but has some of the best Greek food I've ever had. I got their chicken-shish-kebob pita sandwich with a side of their spicy Feta dip (which I highly recommend if you like spicy food), and everything tasted out of this world.
Drinks are pretty reasonably priced as well too and you can't go wrong with pairing a City Wide special with your food. I just wish their backyard beer garden was still open but they have closed it until the Spring.. something for me to look forward too, but I'll be back before then for sure!

Kostas is great - nice casual vibe and great authentic Greek food. Perfect to stop by before shows or to watch a game. Been countless times and never have had a bad experience

If you’re looking for fresh authentic Greek cuisine, Kosta’s is that place!
They came highly recommended by a friend and they didn’t disappoint. The wait staff was on point(not hovering),getting my food out quickly and the young lady at the bar was turning out drinks that were classic and well balanced. An excellent experience overall. I will be returning…

Waited 47 minutes for a drink on a Tuesday at 7 PM in an empty bar

Whoever’s last day behind the bar on 07OCT25 needs to get this shit together

We got catering from them for an engagement party. The staff was wonderful and offered suggestions for the amount of food needed for the party, and then helped us to park (parking is very scarce) and quickly load all the food into my car. The food was delicious, we had plenty of guests asking us who made it. I would definitely order from them again!

Worst experience I have ever had. The short and very heavyset brunette bartender yelled at all of us upon ordering drinks and started pulling our chairs out from under us. Will never return, and reported the bar to the PA liquor board. Stay clear of this place

The server screamed at us to leave before we even ordered. I’d recommend skipping out on this place.

This is the worst experience I’ve EVER had in a bar. The bartender (brunette woman who wouldn’t give me her name) ID’d my boyfriend and then started screaming at him about how he’s a “red flag.” He’s 28 years old with several forms of ID. This was embarrassing and unnecessary. Will never go back.

Monday night, just left a Jazz club, hoping to grab a quick late meal. The sign on the curb at the door said “kitchen open,” but by the time I made it inside, the kitchen was already shut down. Not even 10 o’clock. So much for that bite.

Inside was alive — loud, full of laughter, music, and people enjoying themselves. The kind of crowd that doesn’t care it’s Monday.

Parking, though? An issue. But hey, that’s Philly. The city keeps approving permits for new apartments, but forgets one key detail: people have cars! Where are we all supposed to park?

All in all, a mixed experience. No food, but plenty of flavor and good music earlier.

Just went to check this place out and was disappointed. Originally intended to go here and check out a few things on the menu and was convinced to go after checking the website and seeing happy hour. We asked and there was no happy hour even though the website said there would be?
