About Greek Corner Kostas
Greek Corner Kostas is a Greek restaurant on Christchurch Rd in Bournemouth, open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. The restaurant is unlicensed, so diners bring their own wine or other drinks to go with the meal. The menu includes a gyros plate and a mixed grill sharing platter for two, served with meats from the grill alongside hummus, tzatziki and pitta, and homemade baklava rounds out the meal. A kids menu is available for families with young children, and food is also available for takeaway. Traditional Greek music plays in the dining room. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant gets busy and a wait for a table is common at peak times.

Customer Review Summary
The mixed grill sharing platter draws repeated praise as the centerpiece, with reviewers describing tender meats and generous portions, closely followed by the gyros plate and the homemade baklava, which several single out as exceptional. Fresh salads, dips, and pitta bread also come up often, alongside consistent mentions of warm, attentive staff and a lively, holiday-like atmosphere that keeps regulars returning for lunch, dinner, and even large group or takeaway orders. Reviewers note the restaurant is BYO alcohol since it's currently unlicensed, which most treat as a minor, workable quirk rather than a drawback. One reviewer found the tzatziki disappointingly bland and creamy, missing the dill and garlic they expected, contrasting it with the strength of the rest of the meal. A few mention needing several attempts to get a table on busy nights, and one diner was pleasantly surprised the service charge wasn't automatically added to the bill.

“I recently visited Kostas and honestly it felt like stepping straight back into Greece. If you’ve ever been to Greece, you’ll know exactly what I mean this place has that authentic, home-away-from-home feel right in Boscombe. The hosts are absolutely amazing, so welcoming and friendly, they really make the whole experience special. The food was out of this world full of flavour, generous portions, and incredible value for money. If I was on death row, or even if Jesus had known about it at the time of his last meal, I’m pretty sure this would’ve been the one. That’s how good it is. Even the baklava was outstanding proper “mum’s homemade” level quality. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real Greek food done right. Thanks to the whole team!”

“If you haven't tried this place yet, definitely recommend. Amazing family run business, great food, great service. Excellent 👌🏻”

“After having got a table on my 3rd attempt (they're always busy) finally got a table on a Thursday night. Heard lots of good things about this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The service was excellent, warm and friendly. The food was amazing. And the new homemade backlava is out of this world. One piece to share between 2 is enough, unless you have a very sweet tooth. And you can BYO booze, which makes the evening fantastic value for money. Will definitely be back. 😍”

“Overall we had a really nice time here. The staff were friendly and the food was great. You have to bring your own alcohol, which is fine. The local shop has a good selection of beers and ciders, although it's not great for wine. The waiter made a joke about us ordering hummus because you can get that anywhere, which we all found funny (and fair enough, hummus isn't Greek). It just landed differently after we tried the tzatziki, which tasted like a creamy, anglicised version. I couldn't taste any dill, fresh garlic or vinegar, and it was more like mayo than yoghurt. Everything else was excellent though, but tzatziki is one of Greece's best exports, so I think it's worth getting right!”
