Koukos Rhodian Guesthouse

298 / 5,000 Nice and pleasant restaurant, but unfortunately very poor service. We waited more than 15 minutes to pay. Caesar salad ok but overpriced. Pizza with prosciutto ok, but with very little prosciutto and even less arugula. Home fries overcooked. Grilled octopus was completely hard, also in the second attempt.

Review – Koukos Guesthouse & Restaurant My boyfriend and I visited Koukos for two nights in a row, and it was absolutely magical. The restaurant is right in the center of Rhodes, and in the evening, the lanterns create such a romantic and unique atmosphere—it really feels like stepping into another world. The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! I couldn’t even finish some dishes, and I usually eat a lot. Every bite was a delight. The staff were incredible. They move so confidently through the restaurant with plates in hand, and their energy and attention made the experience even more special. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality and the amount of food. Koukos is definitely one of the best places to eat in Rhodes. I can’t recommend it enough!

Review – Koukos Guesthouse & Restaurant My girlfriend and I had dinner at Koukos two nights in a row (it was already recommended to us by my parents, who visited Rhodes a month ago), and it was simply amazing. The place is unique—right in the heart of Rhodes, with beautiful lanterns creating a magical and suggestive atmosphere in the evening. Truly a one-of-a-kind spot. Food: 10/10. The dishes are not only delicious but also incredibly generous in size. I usually have a big appetite (90 kg man here!) but even I struggled to finish some of the plates. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Service: honestly, 1000/10. The waiters are outstanding—especially the three male servers, who were unbelievably fast and precise, carrying multiple plates through the crowd with absolute skill. The female staff were also very good, though with a little less speed compared to the guys. Still, the whole team made the experience even more enjoyable. Price: 10/10. For the quality and the sheer amount of food you get, the prices are more than fair. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Rhodes and absolutely worth a visit (or two!). Highly recommended—an unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went there for brunch and ordered a sandwich with chicken, caesar dressing, parmesan, tomato and arugula. The menu said it would be grilled. It was the worst sandwich we have ever eaten. It tasted almost nothing and it was not grilled, the bread was toasted but cold and the filling was refrigerator cold. The chicken was probably frozen semi-finished. The bread was very dry even though they have their own bakery! The price was 13 euros, really overpriced! In addition, we had to wait a very long time for such a simple dish and the staff were quite uninterested in what we thought even though we left almost everything on the plate. But we told them we didn't think it was good. We will never go there again. The place looks really cozy and there are always a lot of people there but don't be fooled, here you have to pay overpriced for food that is anything but good!

Visited 3 times in a week as the food was nice. On the last occasion was treated very rudely by the manager who was very in-your-face with stale cigarette breath. He then proceeded to turn his back to me while I was talking tom him. Needs to learn basic manners an customer service skills. Sadly: nice place, good food, awful service.

We had the pleasure of dining here Four nights out of our 7 night stay in Rhodes. It was so good the first night, we kept going back every night, as we didn’t think anything else would beat them. Speak to the manager for a table, they may not have one straight away as they are incredibly busy, but he will ask you to take a seat in the bar and it never took long for a table. We had different food each night, but everything they served was incredible. The food is absolutely fantastic, full of taste, high quality ingredients, presented in a beautiful way, plentiful, delicious and very tasty. The wine was also perfect! Lovely Greek wine. Actually the food prices are extremely reasonable for the setting you’re eating in! The atmosphere and ambience is well worth the visit alone. Plus the people watching. Greek music is playing while you eat. The staff are amazing, helpful, friendly and welcoming. All of them were great but a BIG Shout out to the manager for getting us a table so promptly each night and Nickolas our incredible friendly waiter, these two made us feel like we were meeting up with old friends, rather than just being customers! You MUST eat here! Thank you all for make our vacation special.

The atmosphere is great and it feels like a special evening out. We booked in advance as it gets very busy. We were seated by the maitre d who was very friendly. Our server was very friendly and helpful too. We were instantly very happy. We chose the fillet of sea bream, the moussaka and the baked potato. All absolutely delicious. The wine was great too. We highly recommend this restaurant. I would just remark one tiny thing. The staff running from table to table and in and out of the bar should smile more and acknowledge their patrons. We, on two occasions, before we got a table tried to get their attention - they looked through us. When they did see us they carried on and ignored us. We totally understand you’re busy, but please smile more and acknowledge your customers. Luckily we didn’t let this put us off as we still had dinner with you. It was great. We would definitely return.

We spontaneously stopped by the restaurant, drawn in by the pleasant ambiance and location. The food was delicious, and the initial impression of the service was excellent—the hostess and our first waiter were very friendly and accommodating. ​Unfortunately, the experience was soured by one waiter who was extremely unprofessional and unpleasant while clearing our table. Although this left a bitter taste, the rest of our visit was pleasant.
