Kafkaros Tavern

Restaurant

👍👍 The service is very friendly, for some people it may look unprofessional, but it is on purpose, because it makes you feel like all the staff are your long time friends. Maybe that's one of the things that drags people there. And the food was great, we only tried the Fish Meze set and got stuffed...... People often mention good, nice, staff, recommend, service, local, great, friendly, people, restaurant,

Maybe that's one of the things that drags people there. And the food was great, we only tried the Fish Meze set and got stuffed... All the pictures are of this. It is ment for 2 persons, but I think it will be enough even for 3.

    Traditional tavern run by family. They service was very friendly and food arrived quick, dishes are tasty and big portions. Prices are more then decent and they have the famous meze (meat & seafood) along with other Cypriot dishes.

    Lovely Tavern with delicious food and nice service! We were warmly welcomed and got a perfect table at a corner without having a reservation. We ordered dips for 2 and got Tzaziki, Tahin, Hummus & a dip with fish taste. Dips were served with hot pita. And it tasted delicious. As a main dish we had Tavas and a vegan Moussaka. Both was very good! We were even ask when we want to have the main dishes ready. Cocktails are unfortunately not recommended. We had Gin Fizz & Whiskey Sour and missed the original taste. I believe the recipe needs probably to be checked again ;) Food was definitely worth 5 stars and we definitely recommend this restaurant:)

    Local and super tasty food! We had 2 vegetarian options, a vegetarian Moussaka (the portion was huge you can see the picture attached!) and a Greek salad with Tzatziki and Pita Bread... Both were super good! The owner and his daughter were not only super nice but also gave us recommendations on nearby beaches to go.

    Beautiful place and decent food but the staff was not very polite, that's why only 4 stars.

    Such lovely authentic local Cypriot food! The service was so nice and welcoming throughout the meal. The food was amazing especially the lamb chops in honey and rosemary, they were the go to! Cocktails were amazing. Also there’s cats if you are a cat lover out there! :)

    The food is tasteless. Baby pizza pulled out of the freezer. Waiter angry and rude as we ordered a set of snacks for two, seated at a table for four. The waiter commented on this four times. I do not recommend.

    Such a nice place. I had a sea bram with salad and garlic potatoes - amazing taste! For starters we get some warm breads , olives, pepers and pickled kohlrabi (?) That was also really tasty. Tasty food in good prices!

    Great traditional location, taste Cypriot food, nice people, good prices.

  • 4/5 Ognjen T. 6 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Ordered fish meze for 2. It was fine. Expected a little bit more in terms of taste. It was heavy because potato, shells and prawns were is some butter sauce which is good but not something I prefer with sea food. Maybe in one dish. It's definetly for 3 people. It would be better if price is little bit lower and portion is little bit smaller as well. If you are nearby, it's worth to visit.

    We have been coming to this place for several years. The food portions are excellent and the staff are really friendly. We always recommend this place to friends who come here. We have been twice so far this trip and will no doubt pop down again before we leave.

  • 5/5 Liz L. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    This place is very underrated. The decor is slightly old-fashioned, but it’s like visiting your grandfather’s house. You get a warm welcome, great food and drink and friendly service without the staff being pushy. The owner has a genuine smile on his face. I highly recommend the Meat Mezze and the Lamb Kleftiko.

  • 5/5 Aleksandar S. 10 months ago on Google
    Really cozy, friendly, family place! Food is genuine and lovely, service is great. We really liked it a lot. Also very gentle on the prices.

  • 2/5 Kristiina L. 1 year ago on Google
    I give 2 stars only because of free parking and beautiful flowers growing there. Food was horrible - mousaka was reheated in microwave, not fresh at all. Fries were fried in the same oil as fish so they tasted like fish and additionally, the oil was old so again not fresh at all. Prices were too high for such food so it was definitely not good value for money. Service was so so. I do not recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Jeanne D. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing service with the cats to keep you company while waiting. We ordered 3 Cyprus dishes, each one better than the other! Just don’t order soft drinks (they’re a bit small)

  • 5/5 Sergiu C. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Meze I had, 5 stars all the way, totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Justas B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great restaurant with nice staff, good choices of food and drinks, can't complain at all, would recommend if you are staying near or passing by for a nice food or drink.

  • 5/5 Andreea N. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice and authentic tavern where cypriot food is served. The service is outstanding and you have plenty of choices. We had catch of the day, delicios baklava with ice cream and in the emd they treated us with wallnut jam. The only way we can support local businesses is to go and have meals in their restaurants.

  • 5/5 Jade W. 1 year ago on Google
    Just had the grilled octopus amazing the staff and owner Chris are fantastic and their cocktails are lovely very cheap for food and drink. Don’t miss out.

  • 5/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    I recommend the Stifados, it's cooked really well, very tasty tender meat. For starters the mushroom in garlic is great too. Friendly staff and authentic Greek food. 5/5. Oh and the banana split with baileys coffee is the best way to end the meal 😀😋

  • 5/5 Jason N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant with lovely staff who make you feel very welcome. Good food and atmosphere. Been twice so far on my holiday and highly recommend.

  • 1/5 Paweł G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really poor service, even rude... Food for kinds shouldn't be served, some dishes also really bad. There are many great restaurants on island, this I do not recommend

  • 4/5 Jamie B. 1 year ago on Google
    They really need to work on their exterior. It looks totally uninviting from the outside but the food and service were great. They had some genuinely good vegan options (vegan moussaka was very nice) and good fish dishes.

  • 5/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    Konstantinos, the head waiter was extremely nice guy. Food was delicious, drinks also great, nice local wine - perfect experience.

  • 5/5 Rory C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful local dining experience and would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Super cheap too!

  • 4/5 Agnieszka Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, especially I recommend fresh and very good seafood- shrimp in cream sauce and calamari. A great choice was a fish board for two people. The decor is typical for communist times, the owner should think about refreshing the interior, for that I give a minus, but the staff is very nice and helpful. We were very satisfied with each visit to the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Tibor S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, beautiful flowers, extra friendly staff.

  • 5/5 urban d. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the meat meze. It was amazing. So many various meat specialties. The sides were fresh and tasty. Such a great local spot with a lovely staff. Go there, take your time and make sure you have an empty stomach to get it filled with awesome food. P.S.: the black walnuts for desert will blow your mind. :)

  • 5/5 Vlad K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good crowd place. With excellent local dishes and house winery. Better to choose sets

  • 3/5 Kam O. 2 years ago on Google
    The see bass was very average. The butter added to meals was stored improperly and had strange taste. Iamb was done correctly but the pice of meat was almost one big fart. I know that it is not chicken but half of the meal leaved on the plate because of fat

  • 4/5 Kitchen I. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my local here in Cyprus, and a decent one at that. The fish may be fresh, but sadly cooked a few minutes beyond the respect it deserves. The rest is pretty yum...good tzatziki, albeit light on garlic, and tasty, though curiously soft dolmades. The zivana is a local grappa, with all the punch of a middleweight contender. All in all, a good place to stroll to when you fancy a local bitery.

  • 5/5 Luiza O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to eat all year round!

  • 5/5 markiemannetje 2 years ago on Google
    Best sieftalies I’ve had so far and I’ve eaten many! Love the extra cinnamon inside and the crispy outside. The setting is very nice below the colorful trees. It just about completely stopped the rain shower that passed. The garlic bread for a starter was disappointing I must say.

  • 5/5 Kallie K. 2 years ago on Google
    The meat mezze was delicious and HUGE! Very good price and quality. Staff were very friendly.
