"A really nice restaurant in the middle of Cork. The food quality stays the same since my first visit and is delicious. They have a good selection of starters, mince, lamb, pizza, fish and wine. And for me important: A very friendly staff!"

"Excellent food, from grilled meats (lamb skewers, chicken skewers, lamb koftas) to Turkish pizza. Very good value, and large portions, friendly staff. Inside restaurant in far nicer than appears from the outside. Try this place, its one of the best in the city at the moment"

"Have been at Nostas a couple of times now ... Great tasty Turkish food and great service .. Love the lamb skewers ... Talking to some of my friends though would suggest that walking by one could easily mistake it for a cafe rather than a high class restaurant ! "

"I love Italian food and was happy to try something new as always.Firstly for what it was I thought it was expensive, there's much cheaper similar productions in Cork. The food was bland and extremely forgettable. Without trying to be mean, I felt like I'd wasted a meal and money! I like the set up and what not but when the food itself doesn't deliver it'..."

"When I first heard about this restaurant opening I was delighted. I love this type of food, mezes, Greek, Mediterranean flavours, how could it go wrong. Well, the answer to that question is lack of imagination, the menu isn't inspired in the least and it is expensive. A starter of humous (you must order bread separately) costs 5euro, that's too expensive. Th..." Read more

"I work in a restaurant so I'd like to think I'm understanding and easy to serve, but as the only two people in the entire restaurant on a Friday evening we were left waiting quite a while to get our order taken while the staff stood around.I got a vegetarian pizza and my company got some kind of chicken skewer dish. Upon serving it was obvious this w..." Read more

"I dined at Nosta last night for thefirst time, in the company of several of my colleagues (from a mix of nationalities). We were greeted warmly with a genuine welcome from Evren, who seated us and explained the menu. It is truly a taste of the Mediterranean - a fantastic mix of Italian, Greek and Turkish influences. We got a wine recommendation - the Rioja -..." Read more

"We were looking for somewhere new to try and I came across Nosta. I am vegetarian and my fiance can't eat a meal without meat so often it is hard to find a place that does both well. The food was great and they were so helpful and flexible if you wanted any changes made to a meal they were only too happy to oblige. My fiance also found the food great and it..." Read more

"Nosta is a relatively new restaurant in Cork and a welcome alternative to the usual steak n chips variety. I've been 3 times recently with work colleagues, friends and family. Each group loved it. Dishes are freshly prepared and very tasty, chefs can be seen in the open and spotlessly clean kitchen. I love the meze starter for two and the lamb skewer dish is..." Read more

"Been here twice in the last couple of weeks and ate the lamb skewer and chargrilled chicken which were both really good. The wood-fired oven looks great at the back of the open kitchen and makes a huge difference to the taste of the food. Both dishes were unlike anything I had tasted in Cork before and the Turkish bread is another highlight. Service is very..." Read more

"Eat in nosta after seeing it recommended on boards.ie.We ordered the tazatzki to share and were very disappointed. It just tasted like Philadelphia cheese with a little herb through it. If there was garlic you couldn't taste it over the overpowering Philadelphia.I got the mixed grill for main and it was lovely!! Would highly recommend it...." Read more
