Costas Taverna Greek Restaurant And Ouzo Bar

The Greek food at this restaurant was average, or perhaps I am not a fan of Greek cuisine. We ordered from the Souvlaki Platters section and tried the falafel, chicken, and lamb. Each plate came with Greek salad, pita bread, four sauces, and a choice of side dish. The falafel was disappointing, as it was not as crispy as described and was overly oily. The chicken was enjoyable, similar to sheesh taowe from a Lebanese restaurant. I would recommend this dish. The lamb was just okay, tasting similar to tikka from a Lebanese restaurant. For dessert, we tried the baklava, which was good but not as delicious as what I have had in Turkish restaurants. Overall, this restaurant is a good option for Middle Eastern food in Christchurch.

I had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The calamari was good but not spectacular, the roast lamb was quite good, and the roasted vegetables were fine.

Great meal, excellent service, always a good night out Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
