On a lively Rhodes Town side street, Amarantou28GRILLHOUSE feels warm and welcoming, with the scent of charcoal drifting from the grill and servers hustling between tables. Guests rave about portion sizes and friendly attitudes, though a few mention mix-ups during busy hours. One diner summed it up: "Big plates, fair bill, and the vibe made our night." The kitchen keeps things classic: souvlaki, kebab, lamb ribs, and a house burger layered with halloumi. It is a comfort-first grill that prizes char, seasoning, and value over flash, ideal for casual dinners and hungry groups. When it is packed, expect a bit of bustle; when it hits right, the food feels like a small victory for simple Greek flavors. Families are welcome here. Kids can latch onto nuggets, burgers, and fries, simple souvlaki sticks, or a plain salad. There is no kids menu noted, but the menu has plenty that children recognize; portions are generous enough to share.
Area vibe: Bustling Rhodes Town side street near bars and live music; tourist-heavy with some local traffic.

Charcoal-grilled souvlaki, the Amarantou 28 burger with halloumi, kebab or lamb ribs are the standouts, with meals generally in the €10–30 range.
Casual dress is fine, the place gets lively and noisy at night, parking is scarce, and service can slow or produce order mix-ups when busy.
Portions are oversized and prices are modest, so you get clear bang for your buck with a few caveats on fries and busy-night service.
