Mama Sofia

Rhodes Town


A spit away from the Roloi clock tower, facing the Mosque of Süleyman, Mama's has been feeding travellers quality Greek cuisine for generations. The presentation and homely service is first class, and you can expect all the usual suspects from souvlakia to octopus, stifadho (meat, game or seafood stewed with tomatoes) and kleftiko (slow oven-baked lamb or goat).
