A Greek and Mediterranean restaurant near Welwyn Garden City
Close to town, but it feels like a little escape.
We are Rodi, a family-owned Greek and Mediterranean restaurant on Church Street in Old Welwyn. A lot of our regulars live or work in Welwyn Garden City, and they say the short drive is part of the fun. You leave the roundabouts behind, drop down into the old village, park for free and sit down across the road from a church that has stood there for more than a thousand years. Then the food takes care of the rest.
