Absolutely beautiful restaurant. We were in KOS Town for one week and we visited here on two occasions for dinner. The food is gorgeous and the wine is very reasonably priced. The staff are all really helpful. A complimentary drink at the end of the...meal was a very nice touch.More

We didn't have anywhere planned for tonight. We've seen it recommend a few places and we wanted to try. No pushy people outside. Lovely backroom restaurant. Staff extremely friendly and it was really good service throughout. The food was amazing. The bread they offer you...is at no charge which is a nice touch. We ordered Cheese Balls and Greek Fried Cheese to start and for mains I got the Moussaka and my wife ordered the Aunts Chicken. Those dishes don't come with sides so she ordered chips. Can't fault it.More

We ate here twice while passing through Kos, once for dinner and again for lunch. Our server was so kind and engaging, and remembered us when we came back 4 days after the first visit. The food was absolutely delicious. We had lamb and potatoes...and the Cretan salad, just fantastic food! Highly recommend!More

Greek food is simply the best. So to stand head and shoulders above the rest really takes some doing. Here’s what we liked: The restaurant is open all year round and has a large indoor space frequented by locals. Always a good sign; The menu...is short and perfectly executed; The staff are knowledgeable and engaging; The decor is inviting; It was cheaper and better value than other restaurants serving food not as good; The wine list is excellent. Ok so details… The smoked cheese with chutney was fabulous. We visited Elia five times in a week and had this dish four times. The red wine Syrah is amazing and cheaper than at the duty free at the airport. Aunt’s chicken was delicious. The staff were on first name terms with us and encouraged my fledgling attempts to speak Greek. They chatted with us and made us welcome. I can’t say enough good things about Elia. It was fabulous. Thank you.More

We were on our way to Never on Sunday in Kos old town but this place looked so inviting we popped in instead. Really glad we did, great attentive service and a nice atmosphere. We had pork chops, a pork side dish, rice and saganaki,...plus 2 carafes of the house white (which was great ) I think it was around 38 euros plus free ouzo and raki as we left. Nice!More

Happened across this place for lunch and went in as it has a nice secure garden for the little one. Wasn’t busy so she could tear around a bit. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. Reasonably priced too. We had a souvlaki and...the aunty’s chicken. Both of which were lovely. Will definitely be going back.More

We had lunch at this charming restaurant when we visited Kos Town. They have a nice, quiet, little back garden away from the busy street in the old town. The food was tasty, fresh and authentic. We shared a few different starters and a salat...instead of a main each, highly recommend. Service was casual. Friendly waiter.More

Difficult question to answer...sorry...If you like/eat fish and sea products, go to Agkyra restaurant (near the port- check google or trip advisor). Top choice for quality/price/service and no touristic trap at all, not like... More
