For the unaware: kofte is actually pronounced "CHOF-tuh". I asked a lady at a Mediterranean restaurant once if it was KOF-tee or KOFE-tee and was surprised by her answer.

AFAIK köfte is turkish, and not pronounced in any of the ways you mentioned. here are some good examples

That being said, I’m sure there is a greek way of saying it too, which might be what that lady told you

Don't worry- I can barely speak English but I can order a grilled meat product and a beer like a native in 50 languages!
