Mediterranean and Turkish food on Marlborough Street

Nosta is a family-run Mediterranean and Turkish restaurant and bar in Cork city centre, open daily from 12 noon since 2012. Head chef Niko cooks over the grill: halal döner and kebabs, pide and lahmacun, wood-fired pizza, steak, seafood and meze to share. All our meat is 100% halal certified.
Eat in the dining room or on our heated, covered terrace, come for lunch or dinner, or order takeaway for collection.

From Niko's grill

Greek, Turkish and Mediterranean favourites

From the grill come Niko's döner (gyros), the Adana kebab, lamb skewers, the mixed grill and the rest of Niko's signature dishes. Greek favourites such as tzatziki and the Greek feta salad sit beside Turkish pide, lahmacun and baklava, and Italian pizza and pasta.
While many think that Turkish cuisine is all about kebabs, it covers far more: meze such as ezme and hummus, breads, salads and desserts. Vegetarian dishes are marked on the menu, and gluten-free options are available for most dishes.
