Cosy restaurant with vegan menu

Very cosy restaurant with its own vegan menu. Food is great and they are very helpful with allergies or food preferences.
(We had to ask for the vegan menu)

Pros: Vegan menu, Great food , Friendly staff

Small vegan options but very very tasty

They offer stuffed veggies and a few other things like bread and dips etc. Note no gyros, meatballs or anything faux meat for vegans

The items on offer are delicious, coming back for the famous dolmades. Yummm

Best host and best vegan joint

We had the pleasure to eat at this Greek tavern, they have a vegan menu that you need to ask for. We saw it because they had VEGAN stickers at the front. It’s a small establishment and the host was extremely family friendly. The food was delicious. We had Dolmades, greek salad, roasted mushrooms in garlic sauce, stuffed bell pepper with rice, and hummus / eggplant for dips and some roasted veggies. I can’t stress enough how the host/owner made the experience so much unforgettable. He was a true passionate restaurant owner. And there was old tradition Greek music all along. Definitely the best spot to eat, vegan or non vegan.

Very very good Vegan options

They have a rather extensive vegetarian menu card but are extremely accommodating towards vegans - and around 80% of the vegetarian options could be made vegan. We got 6 difference dishes and all were very good with fresh ingredients and freshly cooked. No frozen food here. Would give a 5 star review if possible

Good for vegetarians, not vegans

Multiple vegetarian options, but only few vegan ones. The vegan options were vegetarian food, but without cheese or tzatiki. I ordered stuffed vegetables (the only vegan item on main menu, according to the owner), so I had fries and one stuffed bell pepper and one stuffed tomato.
Stuffing was only rice and spices, and the rice was al dente. Wait time was approx. 45 minutes, but we were there during rush so it's understandable.
There was a young waiter who was very kind and funny, so all plusses to him.
I wouldn't recommend this establishment if you are vegan, but for vegetarians I definetly would opt here since there were so many vegetarian options.

Pros: Service

Wonderful greek food with a caring passionate owner

This would have 5 stars if it wasn’t for happy cows policy to only offer that to vegan/veggie restaurants.
We stumbled upon the place and noticed the vegan available sign and browsed the menus. The owner the. Talked us through what they could offer. It was clear he understood exactly what vegan food was and how to tailor the food. We opted for souvlaki, gyro with some homemade dolmades pitta and grilled veggies. All was absolutely delicious especially the dolmades.
Talking to the owner his passion to offer options to all was incredible.
Highly recommended this place and will be back before our time in Rhodes is out!

Hi, I went to the same restaurant (you gave a great impression) and went through the vegan menu with the personnel and chef. I learned that the only main menu item that was completely vegan was stuffed vegetables. I specifically asked for the gyros and they said it's not possible to make vegan (but vegetarian is okay). There was no plant-based protein or milk-alternatives. This obviously left me wondering since I saw your recent review and there is a possibility they had some vegan stuff while you where there but it is also possible that you might have eaten vegetarian food.
