Costas Greek Taverna in Hannover

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!

Nice ambience, good food and friendly service at a reasonable price, what more could you want?

Absolutely terrific place, friendly and fast service, large and tasty portions and genuinely nice atmosphere. Great bang for Buck, can recommend, especially the Ouzo platte.

The best, most tender zouflaki my mom has ever had at a Greek restaurant. My sister was blown away by the super-tasty salmon in the tagliatelle. Everything was delicious, and the sweet atmosphere made me feel like I was on vacation in Greece with my family. I was also so happy with the feta with sesame in honey and the vine leaf rolls. Thanks for the ouzo too :) Keep it up!

Great Greek restaurant! A Mediterranean ambiance, delicious food, and friendly service. The classic Greek dishes are particularly noteworthy: crispy and spicy gyros; juicy biftecki with a delicate cheese filling; and the tender souvlaki, grilled to perfection. Every bite impresses with its quality and flavor – they understand the craft here. Of course, this goes well with an ice-cold ouzo, which is offered not only as an aperitif but also as a snack – a nice touch that rounds off the overall experience. Special praise goes to waiter George, who made the evening a real experience with his charming, attentive manner. Always present, but never intrusive, and with a smile on his face – that's how you feel truly welcome as a guest in Bielefeld. Conclusion: An all-round successful visit with fantastic food, Greek hospitality, and service that will stay with you forever. We will definitely be back!

Authentic Greece in Hanover – An Evening at Costas Greek Taverna A visit to Costas Greek Taverna is like a short vacation in Greece. The restaurant impresses with its warm, family-friendly atmosphere and decor reminiscent of a cozy taverna on the Aegean Sea. The service is particularly noteworthy: Waiter George was extremely attentive and seemed to anticipate my wishes before I even uttered them. His professionalism and friendliness contributed significantly to a successful evening. The culinary offerings impress with authentic Greek cuisine. Dishes such as the Stifado – beef in a rich red wine sauce – and the tender lamb fillet with green beans are particularly recommended. The appetizers, including the creamy tzatziki, are also a delight. The menu offers a variety of traditional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. A tip: The baked potatoes (patates furno) are a delicious alternative to French fries. Due to the restaurant's popularity, we recommend reserving a table in advance, especially on weekends. Overall, Costas Greek Taverna offers a thoroughly enjoyable experience with excellent food, first-class service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A place you'll want to return to again and again.

I can only recommend it.. very tasty food and relatively cheap

George was our hero of the day. Great service as always 👍

Absolutely top-notch! Very tasty, very friendly, simply good! Special thanks go to George. We'll be back...

Everything was great! The food and the vibes were awesome! Thank you so much to George for your service ❤️

Just as you would imagine a Greek!

Friendly, good service. The drinks and food arrived without a long wait. Kudos to the chef; he knows his craft. I'll definitely be back. Thank you and keep up the good work.

A very nice location. The food is delicious. The staff (our server: George) are very friendly and attentive. We would definitely go back.

Service, taste, always completely satisfied.

A true piece of Greece! We had barely sat down when the ouzo was already on the table – a wonderful welcome! The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and authentic. The service? Simply outstanding! George, in particular, captivated us with his charming and humorous manner. Thank you for this fantastic evening – we'll definitely be back! 🇬🇷🍽️🥂 ***George was the best*** Best wishes from Celle 👋

Oh dear Costas Greek Taverna team, where do I begin... My birthday couldn't have been more beautiful – and I have you to thank for that! As soon as I entered the cozy, lovingly prepared corner that I had reserved in advance, I knew it was going to be a special evening. It started with an appetizer that couldn't have been more authentic: grilled pepperoni with plenty of garlic and saganaki, fried until golden brown, seasoned with honey and sesame – just like I know it from Greece. This was accompanied by the wonderfully fresh white wine Techni Alipias, which immediately evoked holiday feelings. The absolute highlight, however, was the meat platter – something that wasn't even on the menu, but was lovingly prepared at my request. I was truly thrilled by the flexibility and warmth. It was as if I was celebrating with friends who simply want to make anything possible. And as if that weren't enough, the meal ended with Greek yogurt with nuts and – of course – honey. A sweet ending that rounded off the story. The service? Unbeatable. With relaxed conversations, genuine attention, and a level of professionalism that simply puts you at ease. You can tell that the people here are working with heart and passion. Thank you for this thoroughly enjoyable evening – I'll be back very soon!

The food, ambiance, and service were all outstanding. George's service, in particular, was first-class.

Lovely evening, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere—a definite recommendation! Best regards to George!

Everything was great 👍 Gladly again 🙂👍

It's a very nice restaurant, very busy and very tasty

Went there for the first time today. The food and service were good. The atmosphere is also very inviting. We heard a lot about dear George in advance, but unfortunately he wasn't there. Hopefully next time!

George is great. We are regulars. Delicious ouzo :-)

George, the food was amazing!! Always happy :-)

We spontaneously went there to eat and it was delicious! Service very friendly, especially George!

We were there for the first time today and completely satisfied. The ambience, service (thanks, George) and food were absolutely perfect and we had a lovely evening.

Great food! Perfect steak and gyros 🙂 Nice service

Cozy, rustic restaurant... very friendly and quick staff... Large, very good tasting portions...

I have been a guest at Costa's Tavern since it opened in 1997 and have never been disappointed by the previous owners or the current operator!! The quality of the food is always at a top level and little things are changed in the food, even seasonally, no overflowing plates but always very tasty and visually very nice to look at. Unfortunately, we can no longer enjoy the delicious food on a weekly basis as we now live in the district, but we are happy to come over to eat at any opportunity Last week we were served by Georg and as always the service was above average. Many thanks to the team at Costas Taverne for the many great evenings over the last 28 years with good food and a family atmosphere. Keep it up!!!

George is a great host and the food is always on point! Can only be recommended!

The food was delicious, the service was very nice (George) and the atmosphere was great. We would love to come back.

Super nice shop. Service (Georg) top 👍

Costas is an institution in the list. The restaurant impresses with delicious food at fair prices. The staff have fulfilled all of my special requests over the last 15 years and have always remained polite. A visit to the Costas Greek Taverna is definitely worth it.

Great local. The Stifado is incredibly tasty, the service is unobtrusive, warm and knows its job. Really a great evening. Thank you.

An absolute highlight! The food was fantastic and the service was simply warm. George Armani is world class - rarely experienced a host like him!

Everything was great! Thanks! George was a highlight!

Terrific! We used to always go to a Greek place a little further away whose service was very poor. All employees here are fully involved and look after the guests seriously and thoughtfully. We really enjoyed the cuisine, from starters to the wine selection. We'd love to come back. Hepharisto.

Great atmosphere, great food and first class service.

We were there twice within 7 days and were not disappointed. Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. A big thank you to George for the excellent service. We'll be back!

Everything was fantastic as always. Service was also particularly good, especially George.

Very often there and never disappointed :-)

Greek hospitality the way I love it! Cozy Greek atmosphere, hospitable people, and very good food. The service is outstanding! It's usually busy. Make reservations well in advance. At Costa, you'll be happy to enjoy an ouzo. We'd be happy to come back anytime 👋

Very tasty and very friendly service

Food was great and delicious. We didn't wait long for the food. Portions were large. Ouzo was twice on the house. George simply brightened up our evening, thank you for everything!

Thanks for everything George. As always, everything was super delicious. See you next time.

Great restaurant, super tasty and really great service, I can only recommend it

Highly recommended! The driver unfortunately mixed up our order. When we asked, they responded very pleasantly and accommodatingly, and immediately delivered the correct food. The food was very good, and the delivery time was perfectly acceptable. We'd be happy to order again :)

Unfortunately our food wasn't seasoned enough. Salt and pepper were missing. Some of the tables are very close together. Nevertheless we liked it, service was very nice!

George was a very personable and nice waiter

Excellent food with good service. The lamb dishes, in particular, are highly recommended.

As always, delicious, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly service. For us, the best Greek restaurant in town.

Want to go to a Greek restaurant around the corner? Then go! Simple but good. Uncomplicated and delicious. Great mood everywhere and you just have to love people like Georg, our waitress, because they give you a really nice evening! Ευχαριστώ

The food was great, but aside from that, George, the waiter, was the highlight. Very nice atmosphere.

Super delicious food, and George's service was excellent! Good value for money, too. We were very full.

The food was very tasty. Service George was really top. Unfortunately the portions have become smaller. But generally highly recommended

Costas Taverna has become our favorite Greek restaurant in Hanover. The food always tastes very good and the portion size always pleases you. We were impressed by the quick and friendly service in the lovingly furnished store. Greetings to George!

It was delicious, charming service, enough ouzo ;-) Thank you! We'd love to come back

Thank you very much for the delicious food and also to the lovely service person Georg! The food is just right and the ambience is not too much and not too little. A 10 out of 10.

Wonderful! Very tasty food, warm service, really cozy atmosphere and great price/performance ratio. We'd love to come back

Very nice, lovingly furnished restaurant. Service attentive and very friendly. Unfortunately the food wasn't for me. The fries were oversalted, the befteki were tasteless and the rice had a hint of cinnamon. Too bad... ☹️

George always top, friendly, delicious food, great atmosphere.
