Just steps from the port of Kos, tucked into Bouboulinas Street, you’ll find a beloved local gem: Mummy’s Cooking, also known as Evdokia Tavern. What began in 1998 as a cozy coffee shop quickly evolved into a full-fledged tavern — thanks to Mama Evdokia’s irresistible home-style cooking.
Every day from 6:30 a.m., Mama prepares a rotating selection of traditional Greek dishes straight from the heart. Expect 10–12 freshly cooked meals daily — like pork with leek, stuffed chicken, rooster in tomato sauce, hearty moussaka, and lasagna — plus an array of 10–15 homemade meze including dolmades, fava, and kavourdisto.
With fresh fish, perfectly grilled meats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Mummy’s Cooking is more than a tavern — it’s a taste of real Greek hospitality, just like home.

a month agoFood is DEVINE! Service was super too with friendly staff, we were in and out within an hour, which included a glass of wine, starters and mains (which worked out brilliantly for us as we wanted to head to bar street after dinner. €48 for 2 which we found to be reasonable. Outside is the nicest part of the restaurant with plants and fairly lights giving it a very nice ambiance, but is of course the first place to get full. We reserved a table, but got there 15 minutes late so lost the table outside, so be punctual.

a month agoWouldn’t recommend visiting. We got told off by staff for arriving ‘late in the evening’ with over 2 hours to go before they closed and many other people being welcomed in. We waited around 20 minutes for our table to be cleared of dirty cups and a dirty tablecloth. After another 10 minutes we were able to order. After that we waited around an hour for food, which was horrible. As you can see in the picture the chips were under cooked and cold, the rice was cold, the meat dish was swimming in oil and a mix of cold and warm. I decided not to eat the dish to not get ill and to cut our losses and just pay and leave. After my husband had paid, the wait staff made a very loud and big deal about how I hadn’t eaten my food. To be fair to them they did offer to get me another dish but after the wait and the food being cold I didn’t want to risk a repeat. Maybe they were having an off night but we saw multiple people get frustrated at waiting 40mins+ to pay. Disappointing when all the other reviews are so positive.

2 months agoIncredible. The food was cooked perfectly , quick service, flavourful, good variety. The owner was personable hospitable and charming and had excellent recommendations for our meal and for other restaurants. Would 100% come back. Best Dolmades I’ve had, period. Clean plates at the end of it. Couldn’t have asked for more

a month agoSuper delicious and cozy. We were advised not to look at the menu and let the chef decide. We got a starter to share and 2 different main courses.. it was all so tender and deli...

2 months agoAs if we have dined at a familya house. As its name suggests, home-made authentic greek food as if it’s cooked by a mother. Highly recommend the Stifado
