Kosmos Taverna

I would love to tell you how good the food was, unfortunately, as we were left waiting in our seats for thirty minutes without even being offered a drink, I can't. I complained on the way out but wasn't even offered an apology, so will not be eating there again!

By far the best Greek restaurant in Manchester and perhaps the North-West. The cheesy decor may be off putting for the trendy set but if you can look past that you are in for a real treat. The diversity of the food on offer ensures that there is something for everyone. The food is cooked to perfection and, on the dozen or so times I have visited over the years, the quality of food has never dipped below excellent. This place has a good reputation so ensure you book as you will be waiting for a long time at the bar for a table.

The menu in in Phonetic Greek so its always fun trying to order (but an English explanation ensures you know what you are getting). Its popularity with both students and locals ensures an excellent atmosphere. The staff are friendly and very funny at times with jokes being told by the waiters. My personal choice on the Menu is Saganaki (deep fried halloumi cheese) and Klefitco. The Greek desserts are quite spartan but after the huge portions most will struggle with this anyway. The prices are reasonable for the area and groups up to 15 (in my case) are easily accommodated. 10/10 and the owner/head chef used to work on the This Morning with Richard and Judy.
