Kostas Cafe

A little unexpected gem. Traditional Greek decor and music. We were welcomed on our arrival and the service was attentive and gracious. We were there at lunch and had dolma as an appetizer, the chicken sandwich- served on pita with onions and tzatziki- with a side of Greek potatoes, and avgolemono. The dolma was delicious. It had ground beef and rice and was more savory and didn’t have the piquant vinegary flavor that I’m used to, but I really enjoyed them. The soup was lovely. Fresh, eggs blended beautifully, the touch of lemon created a nice note of freshness. Chicken sandwich was great- chicken was tender and juicy. We spent about $10-12 per meal. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more of their dishes!

This place has been on my wish list for years and I finally visited. Dimly lit ambience makes it a good option for a date night. Hummus was good, pita bread was hot and plentiful. Greek side salad didn’t come with all the trimmings that I assume the actual Greek salad menu item does. Tried the lamb shank with lemon sauce and wasn’t disappointed. Giant proportion that could be shared between two. I think I’ll try the chicken when I return.

Title: Disappointing Dining Experience at Kostas Cafe Location: Plano Cuisine: Greek Rating: ⭐ I recently dined at Kostas Cafe in Plano, hoping to savor some authentic Greek cuisine. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Upon ordering, my expectations were high, but they quickly plummeted when the food arrived. To my shock, I found raw chicken in my dish, which is not only unappetizing but also a major health concern. To make matters worse, the side dishes were equally underwhelming. The rice seemed to have been hastily microwaved, resulting in a dry and tasteless accompaniment. As for the green beans, they appeared to be straight out of a can, lacking any freshness or flavor. The service was subpar as well, with slow and inattentive staff who didn't seem to care about the quality of the food they were serving. In summary, my experience at Kostas Cafe was far from the authentic Greek culinary adventure I had hoped for. The raw chicken, microwaved rice, and canned green beans left me with a lasting impression of disappointment. I would caution anyone seeking genuine Greek flavors to look elsewhere for a more satisfying dining experience.

Cozy and casual greek restaurant in Plano. Chicken Slovlaki and Green Beans are delectable, however for some reason they gave us okra instead, still decent. 1 star off as the price difference between locations seem unjustified, it’s the same food. The gyro is decent but it would be nice if they combined it all together as a wrap and not a pita with meat and a side of veggies, that may be more of a personal qualm. I enjoy both locations and enjoy the 3-course service, especially when if it’s lunch!

I live near here and drive by here all the time and we finally went in recently. The staff was super attentive and the food was amazing--I was shocked that no one is talking about this place because it is great. The lemon soup is awesome the pita bread and hummus are great and you can tell that the owners pour their car and attention into making people feel welcome.
