    I was looking for a local restaurant, and I found it by chance. It was packed with locals. Always a good sign. I walked in. The menu was in Greek, so I was asking about any vegetarian meal. The owner instantly made me comfortable explaining the veggie options also apologising about not having an English menu—no big deal. The food was generously big and lovely. We've got a significant portion of free mezze, including tzatziki, olives tahini, pickles, homemade Cyprus salad and fresh bread as starters all in the house. As the main meal, a selection of nicely prepared vegan food and some grilled sea bass and chips. Everything was perfect. Good Cyprus coffee too. The restaurant has a nice outside sitting area, a free car park and an excellent chance to speak with real locals at the next table. This lovely local restaurant is highly recommended!

    A real gem, packed only with locals, with excellent homecooked dishes. I ate pan fried lamb offals with onion, they were truly outstanding, everything tasted super fresh. Their home made pickles and olives were just wow. House wine also worth tasting (both red and white- I'm WSET level 3 certified, so I know what I'm talking about). Prices are reasonable, 24 euro for 2, with two mains, a wonderful greek salad, a small snack featuring olives, pickles, and 0.5l of wine. Service was very kind. I highly recommend the place.

    Delicious local food, no 2 days are the same but it's always good. If you looking for somewhere locals eat, this is the place. I first visited 25years ago and the food is just as good and the people are just as friendly. This place is a hidden gem that has stood the test of time.

    Amazing traditional flavours. Great friendly service. The restaurant certainly doesn't leave its customers hungry serving both generous portions and variety. Highly recommended.

    We were on Saturday afternoon and it was totally crowded! When we entered we even thought that it is a wedding an as we were not invited, we had to go, but the owner found us a nice table. Place is not fancy, but clean, food is tasty and its definitely loved by locals.

    Great place! We ended up by chance here but the food, environment and service where amazing. Can't say for the prices yet as I haven't paid yet 🤣.

    Great place!!! Delicious food, good prices! If you want to try traditional Cyprus home food it's the best place! I recommend bas fish 👌🏻 Also great chips from natural potatoes! And also spaghetti Bolognese with Cypriot cheese - better than parmesan!

    The restaurant that stole my heart during my first stay in Cyprus! Very good local cuisine! We have been coming back here for 3 years, every time we stay in Paphos. Very good atmosphere and very nice owner.

  • 2/5 Calum O. 6 months ago on Google
    Below average restaurant in a city full of fantastic restaurants I will start with the positives. The salad was good, as was the rice, nice location. However, the rabbit stew I had for my main course was very heavy and left me feeling unwell for a few hours. They also don’t display any prices or have any menus and as such there was a painful lack of transparency and accountability for the overpriced salad and drinks. The service while not outright rude was apathetic and lacklustre. There are many better options in this part of Pathos.

    If you want to try really good Cypriot food, this is the best place.

    The worse restaurant experience I've ever had. Being a Greek speaker who stays locally in Paphos every Summer, I have had mixed experiences in the past. I called in advance to ask if they had kleftiko and fish and was told that they did, albeit the person on the phone did not seem to speak Greek too well. We reserved a table for three. When we got there, there was no kleftiko or fish. The meals were pre-made, there was no menu or prices and limited in options, I went for the chicken which looked overcooked. It was in fact very overcooked and dry and I only managed to eat half before feeling nauseous. I also had to constantly get up to get the waitress' attention. To make matters worse, we were charged 4 euros for a salad. The owner did not apologise for anything or reduce the bill in any way. We will never be returning.

    Best eatery in Paphos if not Cyprus. Typical Greek mama’s type cuisine - whatever she makes, you eat and if it has run out - tough - you should have been there earlier 😊

😐 We ate here after all of the 5 star reviews, but left disappointed. The calamari was delicious, but the chicken was a little dry (with no sauce), as was the lamb. The moussaka was 75% aubergine, so could have done with a little more meat in my opinion. The drinks weren't the cheapest either, espec...
