Food was fantastic. Service was phenomenal. Not enough stars to praise this restaurant. If you're in the area, it's definitely a place to go. We were here on a Saturday night, full house, and from beginning to end it was a great dining experience!!!
So much yum! I stumbled across Kostas one sunny afternoon in October while wandering around the picturesque Weiden. They have prime real estate in the square, overlooking cobble stone, tree lined roads. Because it was fall, all the leaves were changing color, giving the entire town a golden glow.
I ordered a dunkleweisen and kebab with pita plate. Both were awesome choices! The kebab meat is mouth watering -- every single piece somehow manages to be a crispy edge piece. The pita was warm and soft. The tzatziki sauce was cool and tangy. And, all these rich flavors were cut beautifully by the slices of raw onion. I could give or take the rice but with so any other wonderful things on the plate, it was no big deal to just leave the rice uneaten.
Things went a little squirrely at the end of the meal when I needed to pay with a credit card. After a little back and forth with the waiter, we figured it out, but I'd suggest just going with euro to avoid any awkwardness.

Kostas is an interesting place. Definitely an oddball mixture of German and Greek.
What do I mean by that? The whole place is defined by it. Decor that's part parthenon, part kinder eggs (yes there was a kinder egg mobile swinging from the window, but it was Easter season after all!) The place could use some updating, but does have a bit of rustic charm.
Food: Had a "Greek salad" that was a little too sweet and sour for my taste, a little to "sauerkrauty." That said, it wasn't bad, but that dressing overwhelmed the taste of the couple of cubes of feta contained therein. Dressing also overwhelmed the olives and pepperoncinis. The moussaka, on the other hand, was very good. Pillowy mash on a bed of lightly seasoned beef, eggplant, and potatoes, what's not to like?
Service: The staff is very friendly and aims to please. One of the proprietors went out of his way to get me wifi access since I was dining solo. I was a bit flummoxed though when I asked for a "Mykonos" beer and the waiter looked at me as if I was from Mars.
All in all, a very pleasent getaway to the land of blue and white.
We were welcomed with a smile and a beautiful shot of rose liquor. Dinner and drinks were perfect, the gyro meat was quite awesome, perfectly crispy yet moist. The Moussaka was also delicious...savory with a delicate fluffy top. We will be back!!!
We go here whenever we're craving moussaka...their version is consistently the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. It's flavorful and comforting, with perfectly cooked eggplant inside and a ridiculous cheesy, potato topping. The portions are extremely generous, which makes the moussaka plentiful enough for two meals, or one very filling dinner. The good service, friendly waiters, and reasonable prices are just the cherry on top.
Leckeres griechisches Essen! Die Auswahl auf der Karte ist sehr gut. Die Weinblätter mit der Soße sind hervorragend! Zudem hat man hier die typische griechische Gastfreundschaft wie im Urlaub!
Super Essen, sehr freundliches Personal. Immer wieder gerne. Leider geht's momentan nur mit abholen. Haltet bitte durch, wir brauchen euch.
Der Wirt ist klasse! Das Essen ist wirklich sehr gut. Wirklich empfehlenswert!
Super lecker, gute Portionen und sehr,sehr freundlich. Definitv zum empfehlen! Wir kommen jeden Samstag, da das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis bei Kostas einfach passt. Hier bekommt man noch was für sein Geld!!!
Wir waren schon sehr oft beim Kostas.
Er ist immer sehr freundlich und das Essen schmeckt. Demnächst, wenn wir wieder einmal in Weiden sind, gehen wir sicherlich wieder zum Kostas und werden wie schon so oft einen gemütlichen Abend bei gutem Essen verbringen.
Bester Grieche in Weiden. Super nette Leute dort. Alles geht super schnell, man muss nicht lange auf das Essen warten. Und es schmeckt richtig lecker. Sowohl drinnen als auch draußen lässt es sich gut sitzen! Top!
