"We were on a tour of Cork and wanted to get lunch at a sit down restaurant and found this little gem. The atmosphere was fantastic, the kitchen is totally open which was nice to watch them prepare meals. I ordered their Greek salad and they did not skimp on feta at all and the garlic bread was amazing."

"Went to Nosta with my girlfriend last Sunday for some lunch. This was our second time here. Once again it was exceptional. Everything was right. The service from the waiter and waitress was so professional. The restaurant decor is lovely but the food was terrific. Well done to you at Nosta. One of the best currently in Cork"

"We stumbled upon this place by chance and did not regret it. The menu is excellent and the staff are very friendly. We had the bread and dips to start, I had grilled lamb for main and my gf had the grilled chicken and it was so tasty. I would highly recommend this place. Food is delicious, cheap, atmosphere is nice and the wine is lovely!"

"This place doesn't look anything out of the ordinary but when you step inside you will be in for a treat. The service is good and food excellent. Very different food and an explosion of taste from eastern Europe/Mediteranian. You can see food being prepared and it is nice and warm inside and very clean. My mum would be a fussy old style eater but she loved t..." Read more

"I used love this place when it opened first. It used be good value and good food. I went here recently with my girlfriend and found the prices had risen drastically, the food was overcooked, the portions were smaller and the seating seemed more cramped."

"Went here for an impromptu dinner, having been here before for lunch. The food and service were top class and I would recommend this place to anybody. The kitchen is open, so you can watch as the chefs cook flatbread and pizza in the wood fired oven. The waitress is was so friendly, genuine and efficient. The food is a mix of Middle Eastern & Mediterrane..." Read more

"Came upon this resaurant by chance recently during our first time in Cork. Tables outside looked inviting, so we had late lunch here. Excellent menu choice. Both of our dishes were very good - the lasagne and the char grilled salmon. OK, 'ordinary' dishes, but made something special with the herbs and sauces. Reasonable prices of around 10 euros. Efficient s..." Read more

"I had dinner here last night with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed it. The restaurant had a great laid back atmosphere!! we got a fab table for two where we were easily able to chat away as we werent sat too close to anyone and the backround music wasnt too loud. The menu has a fantastic selection to suit us both as my partner wouldn't be too adve..." Read more

"We had dinner here last saturday, 2 adults and 2 children. The staff were really friendly, sat us up by the kitchen which was great, as the children spent their time talking to the man that made the pizzas and watching him. We had a meze and a main course each, very nice indeed. We will return."

"Visted Nosta yesterday for some dinner while doing some Christmas Shopping in the city.Nosta is a very appealing website from the outside, and appears to be very small when looking in from the outside but looks can be deceiving. Inside, was a bright and very spacious restaurant which was busy and bustling with customers.Staff are extremely fr..." Read more

"We were one of just three tables on a very cold and windy night so the large restaurant wasn't as lively as it might be on busy weekend. None the less our waiting staff were friendly and the food was tasty. They do a mix of Mediterranean food - pasta, grill, pizza (in their own forne which warmed the place up a little). The mezze starter was delicious. And y..." Read more

"I found this gem of a restaurant while walking aimlessly through Cork city. I could smell the rich aromas from 3 streets over. A quick search and still following my nose led me to discover and experience one of the best meals ever. We had bruschetta and bolognese and a dish called spicy tavuk which was delicious. "

"Love going here for a bite to eat. Any night of the week it has a good crowd and great atmosphere. Get the meze plate for 2 to start, loads of food we always get it for 4 people. Just ask for extra bread if you need it. Love the lamb skewers healthy option with just salad, loads of lamb they really look after you there. You wouldn't want to be in a r..." Read more

"Nosta is somewhat unique in that it's one of the few places in Cork city centre that offers decent Meze dishes. The Meze platter for 2, while a bit expensive at €12, has a nice selection of Hummus, Tzatziki, Esme and Aubergine served with flatbread, and is quite filling for a starter (although you may need to ask for more flatbread to finish off the m..."
