Kos Greek South Road

On South Road in Waterloo, Kos Greek South Road brings the easy warmth of Mediterranean hospitality to Liverpool.

This is Greek cooking in its element: traditional recipes, quality ingredients and bold, sun-soaked flavours at the fore. The kitchen leans into time-honoured methods, from slow braises to the smoke and sizzle of the grill, all brightened with lemon, garlic and herbs.

Starters invite a leisurely pace: grilled halloumi, dolmades, and cool tzatziki with warm pita, before heartier turns at the charcoal, where paidaki and lamb kebab deliver that sought-after char.

Plates nod to the classics without fuss. Kleftiko arrives tender and aromatic, while Moussaka layers comfort with bechamel and spice. Skewers and gyros speak of the streets of Athens, and the sea has its say with crisp calamari, grilled prawns, and whole sea bass or salmon kissed with olive oil.

Portions are generous, the mood relaxed, and the cooking anchored in the flavours that make Greek food so shareable. A bright Greek salad with feta and olives keeps things fresh, while fillet steak and a robust T-bone steak stand ready for red-meat cravings.

For a laid-back meal that celebrates the islands in the heart of Waterloo, make a date on South Road and let the Aegean spirit lead the way.
