"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. "

"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"

"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

"They need more staff!!!!!!! Service was abysmal. Food was so slow arriving that one of our group had to ask for his as takeaway, he hadn't time to eat it. His was being charged for a coffee she never got (mine was delivered though!) Can't they make 2 coffees at the same time?! The place was fairly full and it was late afternoon on a Saturday (Rod Stewart con..." Read more

"Three at best and I'm being generous. Food was just ok, wasn't awful except for the silly browned lettuce used as a decor on each plate. If you claim to cook from a specific area then be sure to have the for resemble that area. The calamari was ok. The chicken kebab was ok. The chicken was actually good but no flavor. The fries were good but the rice that co..." Read more

"Went with my friend here since we've heard that they serve good turkish food. We ordered their lunch deal for €10 so that was good! Both of us had different kinds of Pide with a drink. We found the portions rather small? But the Pide tasted good! The one waiter that served us, however, seemed very cold, and it made our meal quite unpleasant after havi..." Read more

"I want to love this place and I given it more chances than it deserves. Food is good but the table service and waiting times stopped being funny a long time ago. Shame really as everything else is just fine."

"Very nice and affordable place to enjoy Mediterranean food with your family and/or friends but I hope you will never stumble upon one of their waiters who is very unwelcoming and cranky. This was the fifth time I popped in and the second time this guy dealt with us and each and every time it has been the same with him. Words such as warm welcome, smi..." Read more

"Came here a couple of times and same opinion remains. Love the space itself, staff was better before and the main thing is I still think that for what we pay we deserved better quality and more"

"Wir waren zum Abendessen dort. Der Service war ausgesprochen freundlich. Das Essen war gut. Nichts besonderes aber eine gute Alternative wenn man mal nichts irisches, frittiertes essen möchte. Wir hatten die Lachs-Penne und Meeresfrüchte-Salat."

"Tasted very going down, but later that night both my husband and I were sick to our stomachs. And all we had was pizza. As well the service was OK but lacking in attentiveness. To top it they had a choice of just 2 beers...which is more of a personal compliant rather than their fault "

"In fairness, I was part of a large group that drifted in over the space of 20 minutes. All the same, I thought the service was poor and that they just wanted to go near our table the minimum number of times possible, to take an order, dish out food and provide tea/coffee. That's a bit irritating when you run out of water and it's not easy to get a top up...." Read more

"Faute de trouver un resto typique (trop tard), nous avons fini dans ce restaurant italien. Les plats sont copieux et rapidement servis, le choix est standard pour un resto italien.
Le personnel est serviable."

"Stumbled on this restaurant after looking for a place to eat. Looks fabulous and the smell was good. Staff were fantastic. I am going to slightly be a little unfair but that is due to me living in London next to Haringey Green Lanes best Turkish food ever. With that standard very hard for me to say it was excellent but it was good flavour was there. I would..." Read more

"I wanted to have see food salad and i got it. Dry cucumber and dry tomato, you could see it, it was prepared few hours in advance... Seafood was no doubt from frozen with shrimps in mayonnaise (the cheapest available from palm oil) but in her shells... Waiting time was very long and the staff did not want to look on customers while on duty."
