We went to explore the local area of Theogolos tonight. We heard about the actual small village of Theologos, and heard from a guy at the Bus Stop, "there wasn't much going on, but there was a bar, and someplace to eat" He did add it was a lovely little area.
So my wife and I jumped off the bus nearby, on our way home from Rhodes Town. I was met on arrival by a very friendly lad (huge apologies, we never caught any names of the staff) He shook my hand, got us a table, and menu's. I nipped to the bathroom, and on returning, a basket of bread had been brought to my wife, with oils, etc. We had some tzatziki with it. I also had a glass of wine, and my wife a Fanta.
All good so far.
We ordered a Large Chicken Souvlaki, and a Large Pork Souvlaki (they only came in large) As its all freshly made, we sat outside for a bit, soaking up the atmosphere. There were a few cats dotting about, and as I'm not a big fan, we decided to move inside.
The food came, and..... WOW! It was Large! But absolutely fantastic. Both served with home-made chips, and rice. And all so flavoursome. My only complaint, there was loads of food. But that's a positive complaint, right?
The guys running Drosia were over chatting, and were so friendly. After getting through ¾'s of our meal, we threw the towel in. Stuffed. They brought the remainder of chicken and pork we couldn't finish, through to us in a container, and advised "a small desert is on its way!"
While we were fit to burst, we gave it a try. It was a light sponge, with an iced top.... again very tasty.
Our final challenge of the night.... getting home. It's very slightly out of the way, and being tired from a day of exploring Rhodes, we tried to get a taxi. As its early season, it wasn't happening, so we were offered a lift home, by a young chap, who was involved in the running of Drosia (i think he was the Boss? But he was also actually the grandson, of the original restaurant owner) But again, a very very friendly guy.
And we were so grateful for the lift. On arriving back at our hotel, I tried to leave him a few Euros for a beer, but he refused.
The staff are so genuine, friendly, and made a good night great.
My wife and I can't speak highly enough of the restaurant and staff. They are a family run place, and definitely deserve a visit.
Excellent stuff👌🏼
Thank you Drosia
**I did put "moderate noise" but this was merely background, restaurant music, that was lovely, and chilled.
Also, I believe the restaurant help with transport if you'd like to visit them. I'd guess to contact them in advance to organise 👍🏼
