"I had lunch recently with a friend. It was terrible. She had lasagne, really badly over cooked with chewy over cooked cheese. I had a burger with blue cheese, really poor & tasteless. I have eaten here previously & it was lovely. What has happened. The place was almost empty at lunchtime, obviously the word is out, find somewhere to eat in one of the..." Read more

"We ate lamb skewers, with half/half of bulgur and French fries. The portion was quite big for a woman, but food itself very delicious and fulfilling."

"2 very tasty chicken kebabs with a side of hummus hit the spot out and about in town. Friendly staff that listen actively (eye contact and everything) zoomed the food to us in 10 minutes. Recommend an upgrade to the side / garnish salad (aubergine maybe) and the main would work perfect. Busy, popular, quick, simple good Mediterranean ( with a Pokestop outsid..." Read more

"We had booked a party of 7 people for a workplace meal last Friday evening. When we reached the restaurant, one of the waiters was outside smoking a cigarette so, thinking he was on a break we walked past him and into the restaurant. He then came in the door after us and asked had we booked, I replied yes and gave the name under which the booking was made. T..." Read more

Then she left looking upset.I came with my friends and one of us had coffee cup from Starbucks. Girl(who was later fired?) let us in an..." Read more

"We found this small restaurant by chance and were very impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful explaining the sizes of portions and what was gluten free. We shared a Mezzo plate followed by Lamb Kofte and Carbonnara. Nosta is open from 12 'till late."

"Restaurante acogedor situado a pocos pasos de St. Patricks street. Por 10 euros, a la hora del lunch puedes comer un buen plato de pasta (abundante) y una bebida sin alcohol. Fuera de esta oferta, los precios son bastante asequibles.La pasta es realmente buena, en todas sus variantes. Te ofrecen una jarra de agua con menta y limón gratis. Servio..." Read more

"I have had the wrong the image of Mediterranean food in my head for such a long time. Walked into this place as we were tired of walking around looking for some inspiration of what we might fancy.Unsure of the menu the waiter was extremely helpful and friendly and explained the dishes with a smile.We ordered the Keridez Tava( prawn dish) and Tavah So..."

"First let's start with the food, it is good, it's not great, it's all very tasty and what not but I think in a restaurant you should be getting something that a home cook wouldn't be able, or bothered to do. Unfortunately despite it being all tasty it is all very average food and very poor presentation. But then again plain food will always only ever look pl..." Read more

"Das Lokal ist etwas düster, aber ansonsten in Ordnung. Der Service ist freundlich, es dauerte jedoch lange bis das Essen kam. Pasta Gerichte waren sehr fad und zu lange gekocht. "

"I wandered around Cork looking for a reasonably priced place for lunch on a wet Friday afternoon. Everywhere was packed, then I remembered Nosta. Apart from a biggish group of American tourists, and some Cork folk who were in on the secret, it was quiet. This place has a formula which it is true to and does well. Medditeranian dishes.I had very good cala..." Read more

"We should have known from the fact that this is the only place we could see free tables on a Saturday night. We ordered pizza and pasta dishes which all lacked flavour and had far too much cheese."

"Hier gibt's Speisen rund um's Mittelmeer. Meeresfrüchte, Lamm, Gemüse, Pizza und Salate. Eine kulinarische Kreuzfahrt entlang der Küste Italiens, Griechenlands und der Türkei. Frisch zubereitet, wie "vor Ort" in einladender Atmosphäre nett serviert."

"We ate here a few weeks back. The food was tasty and the staff friendly. I think this restaurant can only get better and better. The decor is really nice. There is a slight lack of atmosphere but no qualms other that."

"There is a huge range of food types available here - from seafood salads, through lamb skewers, through pizzas to pides etc. The theme is mainly turkish-middle eastern but not confined to that
Service is exceptionally good with smiles and efficiency evident.
One of our favourites in Cork!"

"Went there with my man to have some Mediterranean food. For people that don't know Mediterranean food might be good but coming from the region I know what is good. Anyways, we got as a starter the cheese rolls. When they arrived we both started laughing because on a plate there were the tiniest, thinnest rolls I ever saw in my life. They just looked sad next..." Read more
