Costas Greek Taverna in Hannover

The food was delicious, the appetizer platter was great, and the aperitif liqueur was a nice touch. The prices were reasonable, and the service was good. Unfortunately, the restrooms are poorly located, with very cramped spaces and stairs. Wheelchair users will find it difficult to get in and out of the room.

We're not from Hanover. We were spontaneously looking for a good restaurant, and Costas came highly recommended. It was just before Christmas, and we never expected to get two tables. We called, and they were very friendly and told us we were welcome to come by. So we did. We received a very warm welcome, and the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent value for money. We also didn't have to wait long, and the food arrived promptly. We will definitely visit Costas again.

First time there today, quite by chance! It was a very nice evening, friendly service, great service, delicious food! We'll definitely be back! 👍 Update New Year's Eve 2024: Thank you for the wonderful evening with incredibly delicious food and drinks, and the excellent service. New Year's Eve 2025 was also very nice!

A truly lovely and excellent Greek restaurant! I've eaten here several times and the food has always been good! I especially love the restaurant's design!

We were there for the first time with nine people and it was fantastic. A charming tavern atmosphere with excellent food. Our waiter provided wonderful service and helpful advice. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was very reasonably priced. The classic gyros alone was a delight. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food and friendly staff

Yesterday, Christmas Day, my girlfriend (a vegetarian) and I went to Costas. It was another wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was perfect, as always. I had liver. It couldn't have been better. Absolutely spot on! The artichokes as a starter were delicious. It's such a pleasure to be a guest there. We didn't want to leave! 🎄✨️

The service was very friendly and the food was incredibly delicious.

We have been eating very well and happily at Costas for 25 years. The service is particularly attentive.

George was the best! We'd love to come back again 👍

An oasis, staff who make you feel comfortable, a cozy atmosphere – offering a break from everyday life. Restaurants like this are rare, which makes me appreciate them all the more.

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service. We were completely satisfied.

Very nice and great service, but the food was almost a little less good than I had expected.

I went out for lunch today to see dear George, but unfortunately he wasn't there. Hopefully we'll see George next time!

Giorgos' best man, excellent service, very communicative and attentive. The premises and location are top-notch. I would recommend him to anyone.

Delicious food and very friendly service. I'd gladly come back again.

Beautiful tavern with very attentive service

Yesterday, the two of us went there for dinner. Our welcome was very personal, even though it was our first time there. We immediately felt at ease. The decor is inviting and very cozy, the service was very friendly and extremely fast. The wine selection and recommendation were excellent. My sweetheart chose the grilled dish and was completely satisfied, while I indulged in the appetizers; all absolutely delicious. Best regards to the tavern team!

We recently discovered Costas Greek Taverna and have eaten there twice in a short time! Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, and very friendly service! Our family celebration here was also a great success, and everyone was absolutely thrilled with the place. THANK YOU! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Family-run, delicious, just like on our last holiday.

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was super friendly. What more could you want? I'll definitely be back.

Delicious food and very attentive service, and yes, George is the best 😄

I tried this restaurant around Christmas time... Very nice atmosphere... The service was attentive and friendly. What annoyed me a bit was that I ordered the uzo plate, but unfortunately, it didn't come with tzatziki; that has to be ordered separately. For me, tzatziki is simply part of the gyros experience. Unfortunately, there are also no chicken dishes on the menu.

George is great!! The food was as expected!

Impeccable service, very good value food and a great atmosphere!!

A very nice restaurant with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The food is excellent, with high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. Highly recommended!

A real hidden gem!!! Delicious food in a great atmosphere, and excellent value for money. George's service was fantastic too!!! Thank you, we'll definitely be back!!

Very tasty and good portions, yet not overpriced.

It was so great!! Thank you, George :)

A fantastic Greek restaurant that has become our go-to spot whenever we're in Hanover. Delicious, authentic food, extremely friendly service, and a very cozy atmosphere! Highly recommended!

As always, an evening with great food and excellent service. Every week!

The food was delicious, but I especially enjoyed George's service.

Great food, great service! George is the best! 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

Excellent service! George was lovely. The food was fantastic, the lamb was beautifully tender. The portions were generous, and they even offered complimentary ouzo on ice! Absolutely superb, we'll be back! 🫶

The food was excellent and the employee Georg was very friendly and attentive. A visit is always worthwhile.

Great atmosphere, good food, attentive service! Many thanks to George!

George deserves special praise. Perfect evening, delicious food, good prices, lovely atmosphere – would love to come again.

First time here. I'd gladly come again. The portion was generous but manageable, the staff were super professional and always friendly and quick despite being busy. Value for money 11/10 💘

A really lovely restaurant. And excellent service from George. Best man!

A really lovely place, friendly service, and Greek food that's rarely better. You simply feel at home here!

!!! 👍🏻 Fantastic 👍🏻 !!! It was another wonderful evening with you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You're a great team!!! The sheep's cheese with sesame seeds, honey, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream was a real treat 😉… We'll definitely be back…😋

George was a great server. The ouzo was really good. Very good restaurant.

One of the best experiences I had in a restaurant ! The place is as pretty as the dishes are delicious.. I recommand the Halloumi, paprika florini, anginares and the suflaki ! Will not be desapointed !!

For many years, this tavern has been the number 1 place in Hanover for my family and me.

We visited you for the third time yesterday and were once again absolutely thrilled. Everything is just perfect. The food is delicious, the service (George is so attentive and friendly) is absolutely flawless, and the atmosphere is cozy and modern. We will definitely be back again and again...❤️☘️🥰

The food is excellent. You'll definitely leave satisfied! Inside, you feel like you're on holiday, and George is the best.

Great service, great food. Thanks George!

You guys are great, you know your stuff. Thank you. Geogr served us very well. Thanks again! Birgit

We've been here many times with colleagues and have always been satisfied! Even larger groups can easily go here with a prior table reservation. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating.

Great food and great atmosphere

We ordered delivery today, or rather, we wanted to order delivery. We ordered: 1 tzatziki, 1 bifteki, and 1 baked gyro in Metaxa sauce. What arrived was 1 regular gyro with salad and tzatziki, and 2 styrofoam side boxes, one with rice and one with fries. As you can see, nothing matched our order, and everything was cold. We paid €44.68 for the ordered food. The delivery service responded and fully refunded the amount as credit. Nevertheless, I expect orders placed through a delivery service to be handled as well and reliably as if we were dining in. I have often found that delivered food doesn't reflect the quality of the food served in the restaurant; after all, there's no direct feedback with deliveries. Cozy restaurant with authentic Greek cuisine. Very friendly and attentive service. The food is simply delicious, everything fresh and flavorful.

Everything was great, very nice atmosphere and stands out from the somewhat dated Greek restaurants 👌🏼 The lamb platter is highly recommended, friendly staff. We'd love to come back with some friends 😌

The food was absolutely delicious! Authentic flavors, great atmosphere, and excellent service — I totally recommend it

By far the best Greek restaurant in Hanover! George was once again like a best friend, organizing the perfect evening. Attentive, quick, friendly, and simply the perfect host. Thank you so much for the unforgettable evening and the excellent, fresh, and delicious food. We will definitely be back.

George was the best, great service!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants. I always love coming here!

Costas Greek Taverna in the List district of Hanover is a true slice of Greece right in the heart of the city. The restaurant impresses with its warm, family-run atmosphere, attentive service, and authentic Greek cuisine, ranging from classic appetizers to traditional meat and fish dishes. The fresh ingredients, generous portions, and charming terrace with its fountain are particularly noteworthy. We dined there as a family of four and ordered the moussaka, the ouzo platter, baked feta cheese, grilled peppers, and the gyros platter. Having traveled extensively and eaten at many Greek restaurants, we can confidently say that this one is among the best – both in terms of value for money and the variety of dishes. The price-performance ratio is fair (around €20–30 per person), and the quality is consistently high – it's no wonder that reservations are often necessary to secure a table. Perfect for cozy evenings, family celebrations, or simply a culinary getaway to Greece. In short: A clear recommendation for a culinary trip in Hannover-List.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting at reasonable prices, and George is an excellent waiter and host.

A truly excellent Greek restaurant. The food was excellent, the prices absolutely reasonable, and the service was excellent. We were served by George, and I have to say, it's rare to find such attentive and friendly staff. Our children also had a very warm visit to Costas. We'd love to come back and will definitely recommend you.

The food was delicious, everything was perfect, the restaurant is incredibly cozy and very nice, and George was very nice to us, as always. Highly recommended.

Super delicious food! And great service from George! Highly recommended!

The food is delicious, the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere is also very cozy!

Very good food and very friendly waiter (George)

I made a reservation for my wife's birthday. Yorgo was our server, and we received excellent service. We felt right at home. We will definitely be back. All the appetizers were fantastic!

Cozy restaurant with a very good menu and great service!

Really delicious food 🤩 very friendly service 😍 lovely hours 🫶

We visited Costas for the first time and were very surprised by both the new service and the cozy ambiance in the conservatory. Above all, the food was impressive. Heavy but delicious :) One minor quibble: the chairs could be a bit more comfortable.

The quality of the ingredients is top.

Delicious and an ouzo is always included, sometimes 2

My favorite Greek restaurant for many years. I haven't found any competition yet.

The food was very tasty and the service was great 👍🏻

A very good experience. Georg was very nice and the food was delicious. I'd love to go back!

As always, delicious, large portions, good quality, and top-notch service. We'll be back 👍

Always super friendly and delicious.

Food was excellent, the amount was more than sufficient, attentive and friendly service, toilets clean

Everything was great, I was completely satisfied.

I don't like Greek food because it's usually way too salty and fatty for me. This restaurant is a definite exception! Love it! Wonderful ambiance, very cozy, great hosts, great food! Always happy to go back.

Great food, friendly service. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Great service and food. George was world class!

Very tasty, good service, highly recommended.

A very nice, cozy restaurant with good, authentic Greek food. The service was excellent, really very friendly and attentive 😊 We'll definitely be back.

Great family-run business! Delicious food and authentic Greek flavors! Great and cozy atmosphere! Parking is quite easy, despite being in the List district!

We've been regulars for years. The food, service, and ambiance are all exceptional. The value for money is also top-notch. These are precisely the reasons we've been coming here for years ☺️

I went there for the first time this evening. I found the Cretan potato casserole very tasty. They also have a good selection of vegetarian dishes, both in terms of starters and main courses. I sat in the cozy, covered conservatory. The restaurant was busy, but George's service was still world-class 😉👌🏻 I'd like to try a few of the other dishes, so I'll definitely go back.

Great food and service... We'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended Greek restaurant. Nice restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. Extensive menu with delicious meat dishes. Good value (as the prices haven't increased as much as at some other Greek restaurants). I'd be happy to go back.

Food top condition very friendly George was great!!

Everything was wonderful, gladly again.

Unfortunately, we had such a negative experience at this restaurant because the service was exceptionally slow. After ordering an appetizer, we waited 30 minutes but nothing happened, even though more than half the restaurant was empty. The waiter came back to me and said that my order hadn't been received by the kitchen. After about an hour, we finally got our appetizers! I wanted ice cubes, but they forgot, so we couldn't finish the ouzo we ordered. After such a lackadaisical service, we didn't order anything else. When I wanted to pay, it was really quick; the bill and ice cubes arrived at the same time. This was our fourth visit to the restaurant, and it looks like our last :(

George was the BEST, BEST greetings! Great evening, BEST Bayern Munich Fan

A place to come back. Nice service and food!

Delicious food. Absolutely deluxe service and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food! George served us excellently. We'd love to go back!

Really pleasant atmosphere and friendly caring Service. Makes you feel like you are on a holiday in Greece.

The food is amazing! Especially the grills. The restaurant is also really nice.

It used to be good. Now you only get greasy and not tasty food. Maybe the owner or chef has changed, I don't know.

Very good service, pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food. We'll definitely be back!

There were 6 of us and we reserved a table in advance, which was great! Very nice conservatory/terrace with great decor, as well as both indoor and outdoor dining areas! Regarding the food, however, we weren't so happy! I ordered pork fillet baked with cheese in Metaxa sauce for €19.90, which wasn't exactly cheap, but unfortunately, I wasn't full! My friend had a souvlaki plate, although cheaper, but all the dishes unfortunately only came with a very small scoop of tomato rice and very few fries; we had to reorder fries! The men had a grill plate with plenty of meat, but the gyro was very salty, and you have to order tzatziki separately! In some other restaurants, you get a dollop of tzatziki on your plate! As for cashless customers who would like to tip via debit card, that's not possible; coins or bills are better.

The food was great, the staff friendly, but we found it very quick... the coziness was missing; it felt like a quick turnaround...

For over 25 years, the best Greek restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food has remained just as good despite the change of ownership. And don't forget the nice, cold Bitburger on tap. Unfortunately, they no longer serve the 0.5 liter glasses... but everything is getting more expensive... We are still very satisfied!
