Taverna Tsambikos — Restaurant in Municipality of Rhodes

Friendly staff. A menu with a rich choice of dishes. We were fully satisfied with we ordered. They were obviously made of high quality products (no cheap substitutes), cooked dutifully (with the proper care and experience) and tasty. My wife was surprised how soft and juicy were chicken suvlaki (which often happen somehow dry at other places). I was pleased with a soft beef stifado. My son disputed with me if the musaka he had was the first or second best we have tried so far on the island :-) (I think it was rather on the second place, but still this is a very good performance, given the number of places we have visited on Rhodes :-). At the end we got a nice surprise: a collection of small desserts, which were excellent. We also appreciated that the tavern was open in the late afternoon, so we could have a lunch here at 4pm, without crowds. We sat inside in a well air conditioned room. It is also nice that there is a parking place under trees just...

We came here because of the excellent rate and comments from other guests. And left completely puzzled... Why such high marks? Atmosphere is good. Service is average. Nobody even once asked us if we enjoyed our food (which we didn't) or if needed anything else. And last but not least- the food. Starters were almost identical to any other place around. Humus had an excellent texture and taste, vegetables were nicely done, etc. But the main courses were clear disaster! Meat was super dry and overcooked. Spaghetti were overcooked as well and shrimps in them were equally dry (like the meat). My wife tried reall hard to finish her octopus out of pure curtesy... The rest of us left half of the food on the plates. The waiter didn't even bother to ask if there were (clearly) any problems with the food. Conclusion: 120 euros (for 4 people) could have been...

Headed to tsambikos as it is rated number 1 restaurant near kolymbia. I feel bad to write this review as the staff were really friendly and we really appreciate the gift you receive at the end.

But mine and my partners Dinners were completely covering in grease from cooking and almost to the point of being unedable I ordered the beef with onion I recommend not having it as the amount of onions you get is rediculous plus not very nice.

My partner had the sword fish again very greasy and didn't taste like how either of us remembered sword fish tasting like.

While we was still eating our starters the meatballs and garlic mushroom again very greasy, they brought of mains our to us while we still had half of our starters to eat not good at all!

Wish I never...
