Visited Tappis and had their 'meze' dishes (we didn't have any other option). Unfortunately: ▪︎No menu was available so as to learn the price and the variety of meze dishes. ▪︎The service was rushed and the waiters lacked politeness and assistance. •The quality of the food was mediocre at best (plenty of food but tasteless, with no quality touch), with some dishes like rabbit and okra being unpopular choices among the group. •The price of €24 per person (drinks not included) felt too high given the subpar food and service. However, the bread and the salad were very good. Considering the total price we paid, we expected much better. Sadly, we won't be returning.

We had grilled meze, it contains halloumi cheese, chicken, pork and lamb liver, vegetables, potatoes, rice with some salad and sauce. Dessert and fruit at the end. All options were perfect, halloumi cheese was the best I've ever had. Only the liver was overcooked and so dry, but they serve one more by mistake😅 and it was really good.

The place had a pleasant atmosphere, but the service left much to be desired. The servers hastily placed the dishes on the table, and unfortunately, the food didn't taste great, except for the zucchini omelet. Moreover, we encountered an issue with a dish containing rabbit meat, despite having informed them that we don't consume rabbit. This experience left us feeling dissatisfied, and it's unlikely that we will revisit the restaurant.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a Greek local. He was pretty confident that this would be the best place to eat mezes in Paralimni. Tttapis Tavern doesn't really stand out in the terms of food experience. What it does stand out for is the absolute lack of service. As many other reviewers have stated, this place seems to exist solely to serve people food. Emphasis on the serving (placing food on tables). The waiters don't say anything to greet you. No Hi's or good evening or How may I help you?Food is served without explaining what the dishes are. It seemed the waiters are purposely avoiding eye contact so they can limit interaction with the customers as much as possible. Now on to the food. The food was ok. No bad but not great. There are several available mezes and the meze's are only available per pair. This means that you can't go to this restaurant by yourself and order the meze menus items. If you're riding solo you'll have to pick individual items. You also can't combine protein sources. So for example have a combination of fish and meat. It's either meat, vegetarian, no pork or fish. Eventually, we chose the meat meze. The meat meze comes with a salad that contains lettuce, cucumber and tomato and a small piece of feta. When I say small, I mean ridiculously small. It was an 1 inch cube of feta. As standard in Greece the cuts of the tomato are huge. The salad comes with dressing already poored over and the dressing has a nice fresh Mediterranean flavour. It also comes with an uncut cucumber, tomato, onion, radish and raw eggplant. I think they expect you to cut them yourself and add them if you like. I'm not sure what the idea is behind the raw eggplant. According to my partner they've added this for decoration. You also get the standard selection of dips (hummus, tzatziki, olives). What different here is that they also have a beetroot relish which is pretty good. It's also served with a peace of fresh bread which was one of the highlights. The bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The rest of the meat mezes are an assortiment of chicken, sausage, meatballs, braised lamb and pork chop. Nothing really stood out. Also, the menu doesn't mention what the various mezes contain so you are to guess what food is going to be served and when they are done serving you. We had a 15 min break in between serves and thought that they were done serving us. After asking the waiter he mentioned that more food was still on the way. A good trick is to not overeat and add leftover items on one of the plates. That way you can experience everything the meze has to offer and you can ask for a take away box to bring home everything you're unable to eat. At the end of the mezes you also get 2 types of melon and a cheese pie with a honey crust (not sure what this is called). This was a nice touch to complete the dinner. The restaurant has a standard Cypriot Tavern interior but seems to be stuck in the nineties. There are ash trays on every table and people are allowed to smoke everywhere. I had to specifically request a table where people could not smoke (which doesn't exist) so this meant being offered a table near the kitchen as people ofcourse prefer to dine on the side closer to the main road and terrace. In summary, if you can eat elsewhere I would definitely choose some other tavern in Paralimni. You will not be disappointed by the food but you also won't be wowed. The service is horrible but the prices are ok.

Absolutely delicious local cuisine. I highly recommend (and so do locals i know) the Meat Mezze on offer here, everything has so much flavour and you'll be surely leaving with a happily full belly 😋

Great food and good service. Kept the same level of quality throughout the years. Traditional place for locals and visitors. Very well known all over the island!!! Disclaimer: All my reviews are true and correct only for the time I visited the place and also only for the specific visit. They also express how I experienced the visit there and not necessarily the collective opinion of the company I was with at the time.

The food in this place is always very tasty and fresh. We recommend this place as family friendly.

The food was outstanding. One of the best meze I ever ate. But, one situation destroyed my evening. I was waiting 20 min for my drinks. The restaurant was almost empty. I stood up, went to the waiter and just ordered again the drinks. So he could hand it over to me quickly. No big deal. But he screamed "this is not a self service" and when he came, he dropped the glasses on my table, like I have offended him. This guy is a shame. Thanks for ruin my evening.

Good variety and tasty Cypriot mezes. Excellent pourekia for dessert. My only criticism is that the food was arriving way too quickly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

What a restaurant. Great tasting food, some of the best I've had on the island. If you're in the area and looking for somewhere to feast, this is your place 🙌🏽👌🏽

Great food and good price

Food is good, they mostly serve meze, but we requested for ala carte (it's possible) Loved their spin on hummus and halloumi, kleftiko and beef liver was delish as well..so worth a try... Portions are generous. Went on a Saturday night and it was chaos, people were overflowing, if you are looking for a relaxing evening, you won't find it here. Book a table in advance. Service was understandably slow, the poor guys were all over the place, but handled it well for the amount of people they are serving.

Good, hearty food, down to earth vibe, sometimes rushed service since it's so popular.

The food is lovely here, we had a meze which is plentiful, all the dishes were freshly cooked and you definitely won't go hungry as there is a great mix of food for everyone which just keeps coming. I knocked off a star for 2 reasons...all the food seems to come at once which doesnt give you a chance to actually enjoy the meal as it feels like you're being rushed, the waiters should be more observant instead of bringing 3 or 4 main dishes as they just sit there getting cold as we're still eating the starters. We had to ask 3 times for the bill so the service could be a bit better in that respect. All in all, the food was good which is the main thing.

Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere. If traditional cypriot/greek food is what you're looking for, then this is the place. Very reasonably priced. The meat meze for two people will cost €50 but will feed 4 people. 👍

Really enjoyed the food hear but service wasent great, maybe it was a language barrier or thay were short staffed. To me the food is more important than service

Delicious local Cyprus cuisine. Service was fast, we ordered cyprus meze for 4 persons. We could not finish all! The quantity and quality was over and above! Highly recommended. We go to this tavern at least once a year!

Absolutely great ! We’ve been looking for a place like this for 3 days, so don’t hesitate ! Fresh food, lovely people, nice serving, you can pay with the card. We had mixt grill meze for two and was more then plenty ! Poo

Food was absolutely delicious 😋 and the service was great . Such a lovely restaurant definitely recommend.

5* = brilliant, loved it & a favourite Was recommended this tavern by a local on my flight across so made it my first place to try. Chef/owner very friendly, first time I've been marched through the kitchen to witness the ovens at the back! Great selection of traditional tasty local specialities. Huge portion sizes. English menu was missing a few of the choices, so don't be afraid to ask for what you cannot find. Kleftiko was wonderfully tender, melt in the mouth. Local sausages to start would have benefited garnish Prices were very good value compared with Ayia Napa, easy street parking immediately outside. Service after main course could have been quicker. Seemed a popular place for takeaway with the locals.

Great Food and variety, Very good service. Coming back definitely

The food was very good; desert was also nice (they had a traditional Cyprus treat and also a big portion of watermelon). I don’t give a 5/5 because I am not a big fun of overcrowded restaurants 🤷🏻‍♀️

The greed of the owners, put the waiters under so much pressure to rush you, to get your order in, and to serve you as fast as they can, to get you out and the next customers in, so that it's not a relaxed evening out. The food however was good. Don't fancy going there again rushing made it a stressful occasion.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. Having visited after a recommendation we went for the meat meze and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious food that just kept coming! Would highly recommend!

The only good thing was the bread. The service although fast was rude. They told us they could not accommodate single portions the moment everybody was treated with one. They made us pay extra 10 euros. The meat although tasty send us to the toilet!!!!!!

I would totally recommend this local tarvena. The food was delicious, the staff attentive. We had the meat meze for 2 and it was more than enough for 4 people.

Try their Meat meze. It includes so many traditional dishes (not just meat) and the one dish is better than the other. Delicious homemade food and nice environment

OMG, unbelievable what a place is this. We heard about it from a local, and to be honest, we weren't disappointed at all. We had, as you can see, the traditional Cyprus Meze and even if we were very hungry we couldn't eat not even 50% of what they brought there, but at least we tried some of each, and everything was delicious, except the snails. So i really recommend this place if you want to try the best Meze in the area, you won't be disappointed. Just one tip: Don't eat anything the whole day, because you'll get there more food than expected for 22€/person.

Excellent food an service. I recommend with two hands this restaurant. Everything is wonderful 😍😍😍

One of the best taverns i have ever visited ! Touching your brains sensitive cells not only from your stomach and mouth side of view but also from your hangry big eyes ! So satisfied to them ! That touch of green in the food parade . The diffrense in serving plates ! wooden plates ,pots !!!! The excitement to see the next dish !!!!!!!! Ouaooo i have never felt that in a tavern !

Best place in Paralimni for a meze, especially since they offer a "mini meze" option which is ideal for those of us who struggle with the full Monty, and hate to leave food uneaten. Great value, you will not be disappointed.

Local home of the Cypriots! lovely welcoming staff attentive and nice to eat out despite even being November shelter and covered outdoors. Taverna Recommended to us by locals of protaras can catch bus here nice little town. If you want a food challenge then go for the meat meeze, but do go there hungry! Very plentiful portions and local dishes/cuisine! Nice atmosphere gets booked up and busy!

The food was unbelievable I’ll keep on coming back 4sure. Authentic cuisine. Staff is friendly and helpful. But u need 2 prep in advance it’s a lot of food.
