Mummy's Cooking

Name: Mummy's Cooking
Price range: €€

Evdokia begins cooking at 6:30 each morning for this family tavern near Kos port, preparing ten or more trays rather than relying on a freezer and grill. Rooster, pork with leeks, stuffed chicken, lamb shank, soutzoukakia, moussaka and giouvetsi rotate beside cold meze.

Our take

Evdokia starts before breakfast

Ask what remains from the morning batch. Choose one oven dish and two starters, then wait for the complimentary cake or ouzo before ordering dessert; the room gets busy with repeat visitors, so reserve for dinner.

What visitors say

Mummy's Cooking rates 4.5 from about 977 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; lamb, giouvetsi, meatballs, daily specials and repeat custom underpin its record.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.
