Mama Sofia

All round a very good restaurant, we was recommended it as we have had some bad experiences in the old town and it didn't fail us. Friendly funny staff and food was out fairly quickly, which was impressive as the places was packed. It's not Michelin star food it's just good honest tasty food which isn't expensive. When we got there the front seating was full and we was led through to a red painted walled courtyard in the back which was very nice and by the end of the meal that was full so obviously it has a good reputation.

Another great visit at mama Sofia's. From our visit last year, we had to return. A warm friendly family welcome made to feel at home. A great selection of food and great a fantastic old town location to watch the world go by. The courtyard is an amazing place, ask for a table here for an intimate dining experience.

We are a family of 5 so it’s not always easy to find places that everyone loves. From the moment we entered Mama Sofia, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The charming décor reflects a traditional Greek style, making it a perfect spot for a lovely meal. The staff truly impressed us with their exceptional service. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about our dining experience, making us feel right at home, even speaking our native language. Now, onto the food—absolutely delicious! Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, with generous portions that made us feel like we were enjoying a meal with family. The fresh ingredients and authentic Greek flavors were truly delightful. Mama Sofia exceeded our expectations with its outstanding food and welcoming atmosphere. We can’t wait to return and enjoy more of their incredible dishes. Highly recommend!

I had dinner tonight at Mama Sofia and it was such a wonderful experience! The staff is so nice and attentive, the atmosphere is warm and you feel the most welcomed. I have celiac disease and I was looking for a place to have dinner in Rhodes - I was not disappointed to say the least. The whole menu - aside from 4 dishes in the entire menu - is gluten free or can be made gluten free. Moussaka was delicious, the lamb pita gyros so tender and juicy. I even found gluten free beer! First time in Greece ever. I truly recommend eating here, even if you are not GF since the food is really good, but if you are it’s truly an amazing experience and you are going to feel safe here.

After queuing for a few minutes for the table, not unexpected as it was peak holiday season, got a table outdoors. Friendly staff, good service, large portion sizes - however, the food was quite average, found it was lacking a flavour - they offered the spicy sauce (without asking) which made a small difference. The cocktail was very very sweet, we asked for a few lime/lemons to tone it down (but they forgot) which never arrived.

Wow !! This is the friendliest and most welcoming Restaurant we have ever been to the waiters were just Amazing and so Funny !! The Restaurant has been established since 1967 and the Atmosphere is like you are all eating as one big happy family !! The food was also amazing great ingredients and so fresh and the portion size was unbelievable I had the lamb chop 7 (seven) to be precise all cooked to perfection 🥰 it was my daughters 18th birthday and at the end of the meal they brought her a little cake and ice cream out and all the waiters sang happy birthday to her and everyone joined in she loved it made her day ❤️ we went back 5 days later and as we approached the restaurant the head waiters greeted us with hugs and said you have come back Emma ( my daughter) just to hear our singing 😀 so impressed they remembered us as it is a busy vibrant place and have lots of customers coming in all day and night !! This was definitely our best to meals of the whole holiday 😋 try this place if you are in the Old Town I assure you you will not be disappointed 11/10 ❤️❤️❤️

A fantastic traditional Greek restaurant! The Greek salad and Döner gyros were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned. Service was quick and efficient, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Greek food in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Mama Sofia was our favourite restaurant. We did travel during their off peak season and had been unlucky with the weather. However, we stumbled across Mama Sofia and returned 3 times. All the food was delicious and I would highly recommend their focaccia and pizza. The staffs were all extremely friendly and welcoming and made our experience memorable. I would highly recommend you to give Mama Sofia at least a try once. You will not be disappointed. I’m missing you already Mama Sofia!
