Το Πέρασμα Του Κοκκαρίου — Restaurant in Municipality of Eastern Samos

Finding a place that serves authentic, delicious, and perfectly prepared gyros can sometimes be a challenge, but in Kokkari there is one restaurant that absolutely stands out. From the moment you arrive, the inviting aroma of grilled meat and warm pita bread lets you know you are in for a real treat. This restaurant does not just serve food—it serves an experience, and I can honestly say it offers some of the best gyros I have ever tasted.

The gyros here are exceptional. The meat is always juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned with a blend of spices that give it an authentic Greek flavor. Whether you choose chicken, pork, or a mixed plate, every bite is full of taste and cooked to perfection on the traditional rotisserie. The pita bread is fresh, soft, and slightly toasted, which makes it the perfect wrap for the fillings. Combined with fresh tomatoes, onions, crisp lettuce, and a generous spoon of creamy tzatziki, the result is absolutely mouthwatering. The balance of flavors and textures is spot on—refreshing, hearty, and satisfying all at once.

Beyond the gyros, the menu offers a variety of traditional Greek favorites. The souvlaki skewers are just as delicious, with tender chunks of meat grilled over open flame, and the kebabs are full of rich flavor. For vegetarians, there are fresh salads and side dishes that are equally well prepared, with high-quality ingredients that showcase the best of Greek cuisine. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistently excellent.

The atmosphere is another highlight. Located in the charming village of Kokkari, the restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a relaxed and friendly vibe that makes it perfect for a casual lunch or a lively evening meal. Sitting outside, you can enjoy the view of the village streets and the lively yet cozy character that Kokkari is known for. It is the kind of place where you feel comfortable whether you are dining alone, with family, or with a group of friends.

The service is outstanding. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They are always happy to explain the menu, recommend dishes, or simply share a smile. Even during busy times, the food comes quickly, and the staff make sure you have everything you need. Their warmth and professionalism add to the overall experience and make you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.

In conclusion, this gyros restaurant in Kokkari is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Greek food. The quality of the gyros is unmatched, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is top-notch. It combines everything you could want in a dining experience: incredible flavors, fair prices, generous portions, and heartfelt hospitality.

Pork gyros’ taste was great and worths to money I gave. However, we were treated very rudely. We are customers and you should be welcoming and hospital towards your customers. Both of the guys serving was very rude and weren’t polite at all. I’ve kindly asked the wifi and the cook man answered “NO!”. When I also kindly asked “can you please” cut the gyros half for two of us, he shouted “no”. Very awkward and inappropriate. I had got a coke bottle with me, for not wasting it I drank it and the woman came and her manner was “put it in your bag now”, “do you understand me?” They were hostile and we didn’t feel comfortable in the shop. Although we planned to spend some time by ordering drinks, we left the place. They are not friendly and rude...

I've been frequenting this tiny little BBQ restaurant for many years now and the quality of the food is always top notch.Very fast,friendly and attentive service, very tasty food, the sides such as fries, salads and tzatziki are excellent, and even though I am usually not a big meat eater this is one of my favorite places in town.Despite its location on the loud and busy main road the atmosphere here is very pleasant, positive and inviting, and the cook/manager/owner Emilios and his wife are probably the hardest working people in Kokkari. Make sure you give this place a try, you will...
