    Ousia offers a beautiful range of classic, wholesome dishes revisited in a more modern key. Come here if you want to treat yourself to delicious, fresh food with a touch of novelty. Just make sure you book as the place is often packed

    We went to lunch with my Cypriot friend who comes here a lot, but I don't think we got special treatment, I think they produce well above average food for everyone. The ultimate pork chop, the daily special of okra and rice, and the veg moussaka - all excellent. I could eat here every day for a month. Just saying. Oh and you must have a reservation even for lunch. They all speak English fluently, don't be afraid to telephone.

    Great vegan friendly restaurant at the heart of Limassol old town. The home made food was delicious and the service was surprisingly fast. We loved the hand made falafels and the calamari, special of the day. Really recommend the Mediterranean dips for starter! 🌱

    The restaurant is awesome. The prices are high, but usual for this place. Most of the food was awesome. The calamari specials were out of this world (perfect), the ultimate pork chop was great, with a lot of tasty fats. The meatballs were ok, not so good like the rest. The starters were fine, but two or the dips were not so tasty in my opinion. Except from that, everything trom the starters was good. The deserts (traditional cheesecake & creme brulle) were good, but nothing special. The little weird thing was the service, the woman was a bit too close to us, but all in all a nice lunch experience.

    The place is specially decorated with art pieces of different artists which I don't think I've seen it anywhere else in a restaurant in Cyprus and it makes this place even more special. We ordered the falafel starter, the cream mushroom soup and for main the lamb shank and the Osso bucco ala milanese. The falafel starter was great but I think it was to dry the overall dish and it needs a sauce inside to make it more fresh. The soup was just okay and average nothing special about it. But the main dishes were both of them nicely seasoned and excellent cooked. The meat was melting in your mouth and the rissoto and puree were tasty enough! Good job on the menu!

    My experience it's only based on their delivery. It's not the first time I ordered But after a couple of times that I ordered I think now I can leave a more accurate review. I ordered on a not so busy day so the food came very fast and like always the food came warm. I order their lunch offer with starter main course, dessert and drink. I had the Muhammara and hummus dip and Sountzoukakia with rice and for dessert the tiramisu. The -1 star is for the main dish. For my humble opinion Sountzoukakia need more flavour and maybe not to be so meaty. The taste in the tomato sauce is very good but I think that Sountzoukakia need a little more of mpoukovo cumin etc... But In general the food was really good I will definitely order again

    Amazing restaurant - great selection for both meat/fish eaters and vegetarians/vegans!! We went back a second time because we loved the place so much. Nice friendly service and quick too. Wide variety of original and classic dishes. Reasonable prices for what you get (quality and quantity) and lovely atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Natasa B. 1 year ago on Google
    We used to like this place and their food. But this time their food was very poor. Plain rice and just some vegetables without any sauce or taste. The commandaria chicken was just ok but their sides were very poor. The same with the pork chop. Ok pork chop but accompanied with some french fries and just plain lettuce with some chopped cherry tomatoes. Nothing worth paying for. The service was also poor. My friend asked for his pork chop to be well done cooked and it came as they serve it. I asked for some rice instead of mashed potatoes and instead they changed the vegetables instead of the mashed potatoes. Moreover they asked for sauces etc after having eaten half of the food. Definitely we won't visit again and very sorry they became such a touristy place.

    Went here for our last night in Limassol as the menu looked interesting. Had a fig and feta salad to share for starters which was delicious. We had prawn saganaki and chicken commandaria for our mains which were also good. They have a fantastic selection of wines by the glass, although some are quite expensive. Overall would highly recommend for a special night out.

    Loved it! Great location in the old city with amazing ambient. Really cool place, relatively new, with very good service and tasty food. The Greek salad and sesame Hallomi cheese were yummy. Then we had some grilled fish than was spot on. Great for a night out dinner . Next to the marina

    When passing by Ousia, you will never find it empty. Even on a cold Monday night, while we passed by many relatively empty restaurants, Ousia was full. The service is very quick, prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious! There are also plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Ousia is one of the restaurants that has endured in Limassol throughout the years, and it's not by mistake.

    What a great place...absolutely amazing food & lovely staff. We had a chicken wrap & Muhammara ciabatta...my goodness, these were gorgeous & served with salad & fries. The best lunch we've had on our holiday. It's a beautiful restaurant & tastefully decorated. There's seating both indoors & out. We sat inside which has AC. Highly recommend. A big thumbs up from us 👍

  • 5/5 Pavlos H. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok, I have to admit that because this place is in a rather packed and rather touristic neighborhood, we tended to overlook it over the past years. Last night we visited without a reservation and we were warmly welcomed. The dishes were simple in the good term of the word. My tuna steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. Plus they treated us with an appetizer. Good selection of wines. Prices are on the expensive side but normal for Limassol and the specific area. Could do with a little more comprehensive control of Covid Safe Passes.

    Great food and great staff. I knew the contents of the English Breakfast, but would have wished for some butter for the toast. But, hey, it was tasty anyways. My partner is celiac and she loves the fact that everything is labeled clearly and that there are many gluten free options. They even made her order gluten free extra for her. Zomg, cool!

    Mushroom soup was nice, the bread was very good too; red wine (vlassides) was very good. Salmon salad was a big portion for the green, salmon to me can be cooked 30 seconds less; medallion pork with meshed potatoes was good but not exceptional.

  • 5/5 Serge I. 7 months ago on Google
    Wir haben zum Abend hier gegessen und die Bedienung, das Essen, Getränke - einfach nut TOP! Besonders zu empfehlen ist Salmon Risotto mit einem Salmon Steak oben drauf. Souvlaki ist ebenfalls einfach überragend. Der günstigster Wein für 21 Eur war auch der Beste. Also, wir kommen wieder - hier ist alles Top

  • 5/5 Vegard E. 10 months ago on Google
    If you are looking for a place to eat in the small but beautiful old town of Limassol, this is the place. Located right by the castle, Ousia is a restaurant in romantic surroundings. When we arrived, we were met by a lovely server and quickly got all that we needed. For starters, we ordered halloumi cheese. The texture was perfect, and the grape sauce paired perfectly with the saltiness of the halloumi. For the main course, we had lemon saffron risotto and an okra dish. Both were flavorful and balanced. If we ever visit Limassol again, we will make sure to visit once again.

    Excellent service Nice staff Very clean The atmosphere was great We were with a 1 year old baby, he had his own chair. Lots of small lights in the entrance, he loved it. The portions of the food were huge, and fair prices.

    Great restaurant! The food is excellent and so too is the service. The ambience is authentic, and the attention to detail with each food dish really makes this restaurant unique. The owner of the restaurant was extremely hospitable as well.

  • 5/5 Joanna G. 2 years ago on Google
    A very nice and fun place. Delicious food! Fresh fruit juices. We ordered vege moussaka and vege tahini. We highly recommend it! Large portions and nicely served. Pride! And the service is very nice - the interior design is also a plus.

  • 3/5 V Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Giving this place a 3/5 because the food was hit or miss. The salads and souvlaki was GREAT. Definitely try the souvlaki. The quesadilla should not be on the menu - they are horrendous with a very weird taste so that took them down to 4/5. The other thing that took them down was the abysmal service. They were terribly slow with everything- including when wanting to pay.
