"Ordered online, arrived and was handed a bag of food by waiter, who didn't ask my name or order number. When I stated that the order was not mine ( I had ordered drinks to meet the minimum online order of €50) the waiter snapped back at me. I then mentioned the current pandemic only to be told that "nobody here has covid"!! My order had not been proce..." Read more

"Having visited Nosta this evening as a family we had an amazing meal. The pizzas were to die for and the chicken skewers were so delicious. I would highly recommend the fish sharing plate for two.... Yum! The staff were so genuine and interested in how everything was and were very friendly and very appreciative of our custom. We had a wonderful evening.T..." Read more

"A personal favourite. The chicken skewers are possibly my favourite dish I've had in any local restaurant. Staff are very friendly and I've never been in the restaurant while it is very busy so make sure to stop in and enjoy a relatively quiet dinner."

"Food overpriced, small portions & flavourless. I love greek food but even the spinach parcels are chewy & inedible. Staff are lovely but save your money & go elsewhere."

"The food was okay but the particular waiter that served my wife and I at 3pm today,28th August, 2019 a waiter in this restaurant seriously short changed me. I gave him a 50 Euro note for a 29.80 Euro bill and he put 13 Euro 60 cents on the plate which he put in front of me at the table - then walked away! Fortunately I called his colleague and he got..."

"We had lunch here recently and the food was nice. The waiter was friendly enough and overall it was a good experience. However the way they write their lunch special sign is extremely misleading. It would be much clearer to write 'free drink with all pasta, pizza, etc..over €10'. The misleading sign should be changed. "

"Assolutamente terribile , pasta con pollo non cucinato? Ma lo chef lo sa che il pollo si cucina ben cotto? Mi chiedo se lo chef ha fatto la sua esperienza in un distributore di benzina invece che in cucina... ho pagato e sono uscito , che schifo, traumatizzato!"

I ordered the lasagna and a side of chips and my Mam ordered the calamari. I had a vodka and coke and she had an Irish coffee the bill came to €41.00 exactly. My Mam could not eat her calamari unfortunately it was..." Read more

"This is a place which makes Mediterranean dishes in general. I have been here a few times. None of the plates I have tried are bad, but for pasta or pizza in general I would go to an Italian restaurant first.Most of the times I order tzatziki as a starter and lamb skewers as a main, which I love, and the sauces they bring with it too.Definitely this..."

"Thought we were going to a traditional Mediterranean restaurant. Felt more like modern franchise joint with not authentic tasting food. Would definitely skip if your look for tradition food"

"We happened upon this little gem after being disappointed with our first two choices having no tables and being jam packed even at 7pm. It's a frustrating new habit that restaurants have now of not taking bookings... very annoying. Anyway we weren't disappointed Nosta was a calm oasis. Plenty of vegetarian choices and fresh Mediterranean /Turkish flavours. C..." Read more

"Left with bad taste in my mouth despite the tasty variety of food we enjoyed. As mentioned in previous review, the lunch special deal is NOT as stated. "Any pizza or pasta with soft drink from €10"- surely either the "any" or "from" can't both apply, as only one pizza on the menu is priced at €10. Staff were pleasant but are well aware that cus..."

"I had a very pleasant dining experience in comfortable surroundings at an affordable price range, with the only downfall being the service which was very hit and miss depending on who ended up serving you.I commenced with calamari which was as good as any I've ever had anywhere (and I've had a lot of calamari ) My partner started with minced lamb on..."

"Went to Nosta restaurant on a Sat evening with my wife in Cork City. I have to say really enjoyed the food. So different.Had the vegetarian starter for 2 which was lovely but when eating discovered a piece of plastic whilst eating. At first, I thought it was glass but luckily it turned out to be plastic. It was small at 4 mm x 3mm but still, I was rattle..." Read more
