Despite Manila being touted as a metropolis with a thriving international culinary subculture, exceptional and reasonably priced greek food is hard to come by. I can perhaps count with one hand the number of greek restaurants I would consider putting in a collection. That list became 1 restaurant bigger after my visit to Kos.Kos offers delectable yet affordable Greek dishes for both the casual diner and hardcore website alike. From the mainstream choices such as moussaka to the more connoiseur options such as the galaktaboureko you will truly get to scratch (incidentally almost everything served at Kos is made from scratch) your greek food itch here at Kos.A trip here would never be complete without you ordering the following dishes.1.) Solomos - One phrase youll never hear from me say to a waiter in a greek restaurant would be "Can I have the salmon?" I have always associated good greek food with grilled lamb, gyros and the likes, that somewhat changed after I tasted their grilled herb marinated salmon. Its wonderful symphony of crusty and savory skin which swaddles the moist, flaky and juicy meat of the salmon. Its somethin that even meat lovers will enjoy.2.) Galaktaboureko - This is perhaps one of the best desserts Ive tasted period. Its like their version of tres leches only a sponge cake thats a little more dense, topped with a flaky crust and drenched with what I would call "arteriosclerosis juice" (try it youll know why) which is lamb butter. It has the right balance of sweetness and is extremely creamy and rich without overloading your palate. 3.) Moussaka - Their moussaka is creamy, rich and tasty. You can tell that they didnt hold back on the cheese, theyre really giving you all you can handle in one plate. It could use a little more eggplant though, but the cheese more than makes up for it.4.) Kotopoulo - The herb roasted chicken is a layered gastronomic extravaganza of savory and tasty chicken skin clinging to succulent and moist poultry meat seeping with the herbs it was marinated in. This was the main highlight of set for me. You can never go wrong with this, a true crowd pleaser.The cherry on top of the sundae is perhaps that food here is very reasonably priced for the quality of the dishes as well as the serving size.

Had lunch here yesterday with my son, mom and sister. The place was quiet for a Friday afternoon (looks like many were still on holiday); we were the only ones there aside from another lady at the other table. I usually order Chicken Souvlaki in Greek restaurants but this time I ordered Kotopoulo for a change. I didn’t realize it was HALF a chicken - generous portions of the breast, wing, thigh and leg! But what was a bigger surprise was how well the chicken was roasted. The skin was thin and crispy and rubbed nicely with herbs and coarse sea salt. And the meat was soooooo soft and juicy! So yeah, I ended up finishing the half chicken all by myself! The roasted bell pepper side added even more flavor to the chicken. Potatoes weren’t bad too. Not a bad place for Greek lunch!

keep away from the meatballs, its on the dry side.. the salmon was not well thawed before being grilled. well lighted dining area, comfortable seating at the periphery. Average customer service.
