To Neo Kapilio — Restaurant in Municipality of Kos

Three visits, declining experience – decent food overshadowed by poor management

We visited this restaurant three times during our holiday.

First visit (lunch): We were the only customers. The food was decent and reasonably priced – a good start.

Second visit (dinner): Again, the food was fine, but the owner (a man with glasses) made an inappropriate comment to my wife about her legs while she was trying to pay. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional, but we gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Third visit: Unfortunately, this was the deal-breaker. Partway through our starters, the restaurant lost power—oddly, it was only this establishment affected. The lights, music, and kitchen went down, and the place was left in total darkness with no candles or backup plan. Other customers left. We tried to be understanding and told the manager we’d leave as well, as we were on holiday and wanted to enjoy our evening.

I offered to pay, but the card machine was down. I assured him I’d return the next day. Strangely, he was agitated and insisted we stay for the main course—in pitch black conditions! It wasn’t realistic or safe.

The next day, my wife returned to pay the €13. The owner refused to accept the money, citing "tax reasons" – which seemed like a bizarre excuse. He was rude and abrupt this time.

After that, for several days, he repeatedly shouted at us across the street, asking when we were going to pay – despite the fact that we’d already offered twice. No third chance mate!

In summary: The food is decent, but the owner is inappropriate, unprofessional, and sorely lacking the warm Greek hospitality we’ve experienced elsewhere. It's clear that money is the main concern here—not the customer....

A Hidden Gem of Greek Flavors

From the moment we walked into this charming Greek restaurant we found it warm, inviting, and full of character. But it wasn’t just the atmosphere that impressed us, the food and the impeccable service made the evening unforgettable, in fact our children loved it so much that we went back 3 more times 😀.

Each dish that came out of the kitchen was a full of flavour. We started with the classic Tzatziki and pita which was the perfect introduction. For the main course we shared an amazing mixed grill for 2 which was so delicious and plentiful that we had it again another night. The spaghetti was bursting with flavour too.

The side dishes were equally impressive. The Greek Salad was fresh and crisp topped with big chunks of feta that brought everything together. My husband couldn't resist the Baklava, which he said was amazing (also very huge portions) I opted for the strawberry cheesecake which was also super tasty.

What truly set this restaurant apart was the staff. From the moment we were greeted, we felt like valued guests rather than customers. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff were more than happy to offer recommendations based on our tastes and were not pushy. We didnt feel rushed so could relax and enjoy every mouthful. They remembered us each time we visited and made our girls feel truly special by treating them to icecream (which they could make themselves behind the bar) those little touches go a long way! So we would like yo say a HUGE thank you to each and every member of staff. You were...

Unfortunately our worst experience on the Island. We spent 12 days in Kos and had amazing food in every other restaurants. As this place has 4.9 from 5, we decided to spend our last dinner here. We ordered different appetizers and a grill plate for two. (due to the menu it comes with lamb, souvlaki, bifteki, pork and sausage) The food was definetly not fresh and didn't taste good at all. :( we had also different meats on the plate. As I complained about the quality and the missing lamb, the waiter became rude and told me that they don't have lamb at all... As I showed him on the menu and told him that we ordered this plate with lamb (which would have been the most expensive part of the meal) he just rolled his eyes, told me that it's a mistake on the menu and charged me the whole price anyway... As it was the last day of our holiday, we wanted to have a nice evening with good food and some cocktails after, but as we both had serious digestion problems right after our meal, we needed to head up directly to our hotel instead of having a good time. I hope that we just had bad luck here, cause if this is their offer, I don't understand, how they can have 4.9...?!?!

Anyway, I would definetly not...
