    We had an appetizer (Cyprus grilled trilogy) and then musakka and stifado. All were delicious and the meat in stifado was amazing, I am not a fan of the cinnamon in the musakka, but I enjoyed the food. The staff was friendly and respectful, and the atmosphere was warm and authentic. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but the restrooms are upstairs.

    Delicious octopus and lovely atmosphere! The food is great, the place looks lovely and the waiter is very friendly and funny! The octopus and the moussaka were the best I’ve had in Cyprus! I would certainly come back here!

    We wanted to try some authentic Cyprus Food but actually we ended in a wrong place. We had as seen in the pictures, Lamb and Beef, and to be honest, Lamb was horrible, and the potatoes next to it absolutely even worse, i had a vomit Sensation the whole day after that lunch. The other Menu, the one with Beef was a bit better, but also very oily meat, so not amazing also. The staff very friendly and the food came also very quick, that's why the 3 stars, but if i would have to describe just the food 1 half star would be more than enough.

    We were here during lunch and dinner. Food was amazing and the stuff was nice. Portions are gigantic. We had a luxury to be the only guests at 15.00 since the usual lunchtime has passed and we had a full attention from the whole team. For dinner you will probably need to book a time and seat even if they try to help you with a table anyway no matter when you come.

    It's a must in your visit to Ayia Napa. The food is amazing. It has a rustic homemade touch that makes it delicious and warming. The desserts are cool. The prices are more than reasonable. Ms. Renata made our evening an amazing experience. Not only you could see that she had a great experience in custom service (one of the best engagements I have had so far), but also you could see how caring she was for the runners who worked with her. I wish I had more time to speak with her. The manager was a wine expertise, conosieur and grape lover. We got to talk for a while and he showed me some nice wines. Really nice wines by the way. Suggestion: go early since it gets harder to get a table... Thank you guys!!!!

    Busy place make sure you arrive bit before 20. Extra friendly staff. Delicious fresh fish. Greek salad was bit weird- we found a piece of frozen bread inside (maybe its a thing they do there?)

    The restaurant looks authentic from outside but I felt like this place is lacking soul inside 😔 The complementary bread and butter are served before the meal. I can confirm that moussaka is a must, it tasted amazing. However, pork afelia recommended by the waitress is not to our taste. I think the portion of salad could be bigger to have a better balance with fat dishes. Also the pottery in which the dishes could be replaced as are damaged, not good to serve guests this way.

    What a pleasure! Coming from France with a friend, we wanted to discover Cypriot meals and we enjoyed ourselves! A very wide choice possible, a beautiful restaurant, a warm welcome, the boss is adorable, we were treated very well, I recommend eyes closed!

  • 5/5 Laurentiu L. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the pest places to eat, I will come in the future. The service was impeccable, I was with my girlfriend and they served her first and me second, which is the correct order. The food was delicious and very tasty ! I’ll let the images to take for themselves !

    High recommended for this lovely restaurant. We had two days’s dinner in this restaurant, ordering the seafood platter. Especially the prawns and sea bass, crispy outside but juicy inside. We love it very much. Probably the best meal in our Cyprus’ journey. By the way, the staff is really passionate and helpful, he helps us book the taxi with a nice price. Fab!

    The waiter are the best, I am not a judge or similar, but I declare this restaurant as the best in town. Congratulations to all the staff in the kitchen for an wonderful food that make me extremely happy. All waiter was professional and friendly, special mention to Alex (absolutely adorable guy) and Renata.

    Food was delicious . We took cyprus trilogy as starter. As main course grilled octopus and lamb kleftiko. It was all very tasty the meat was so well cooked. Coktails were good also. Service was fast and the only waitress ladie was super friendly. I would recomend 100%.

  • 5/5 Larisa B. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved the meat meze!!! This is a must have experience for everyone who enjoys eating. I must warn you that the quantity of food is very high (we had 28 different meals, starting with salads and sauces and ending with fries, mixed grilled meat) but you can take it away and enjoy it even later on. The staff was lovely, will definitely return!

    Such a lovely place! The food is delicious and more than you can take. Spyros is a wonderful and kind host who will make your experience here a bliss. As someone who don’t usually leave reviews I needed to give this man the attention he deserves.

    Nice and authentic place. Very nice staff and good food. The chicken in the salad was a bit dry but the moussaka was great.

    I had to try Authentic cypriot Beef neck slow cook in red wine, caramelised onion. I find them really nice, beef just a little tough but still eatable. I had panna cotta, very different then I use to have anywhere else so this is also so nice. The service always so good, even though I am solo travelling and I am deaf, communicating is no problem 😊.

    Fantastic food and amazing service from very attentive staff. The best seafood platter I’ve had in Ayia Napa. Special thanks to Chef Maria for delicious octopus starter.

  • 4/5 Jan Gunnar G. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice restaurant, but quit busy. We ordered the Meze and the food was OK. But maybe too much food in total and too many dishes served at the same time. Be aware that this restaurant is located beside a heavy traffic road with the expected noise All in all: a nice place with good food and nice staff

  • 5/5 Елена �. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the service here. Food was nice, we had a seafood platter to share with my partner. Coming from Paphos we are more used to slightly different portion size, but I must say that the seafood was very fresh indeed and cooked in such way that it greatly complimented the taste of products. We had a compliment starter from chef, squid cooked in red wine with onions - it was the star of the whole meal, we would defficome back to order this squid on its own. House white wine is nice too. Very pleasant experience overall.

    Good food , good wine ,friendly staff. If you are a fan of seafood this restaurant is the place where you can enjoy the best sea food. Fresh, well prepared and delicious. Will definitely try again

  • 4/5 Dani'sM&G 1 year ago on Google
    We had the seftalia and the ravioli. Both very nice dishes and tasty. My only issue was that I could not taste the chicken gravy the ravioli was cooked in or anything chicken related. Drinks were not that cold upon being delivered which was not the best in such a hot day. But despite these, we had a good time. Thank you for everything.

    It's a best place for dinner in Ayia Napa. All my trip I'm find a time to visit this restaurant! Thank you for this place!

    This is an amazing place with extraordinary kitchen and super friendly staff. We highly recommend. Our first experience with eating on Cyprus was absolutely brilliant.

  • 2/5 Shadi A. 2 years ago on Google
    Was nice and cozy, good food but was not so delicious with Mosaqa not a good harmony with the ingredients. The most hilarious is the salad, you just put one single fork and u can’t imagine how fast it will be finished.

  • 5/5 Edu Maguiña Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Very taste food and good quality price relation. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very tipical. Good place to know the local food.

  • 5/5 Akis M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Yamin Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Was kinda sick that day before going to the restaurant and then that tasty Kleftiko brought me back to life. I’m a lamb lover and that was good quality lamb!

  • 4/5 Matthew J. 2 years ago on Google
    We went here for the swordfish which we found on Google photos of the menus. Don't be fooled by these photos. I have uploaded August 2021 menu for you all. To our disappointment we still had a very enjoyable meal. There is no air-conditioning here. The beer is cold and cheap though. The staff are friendly and take covid-19 seriously. Lovely Cypriot restaurant.

    Amazing service, great food! Mussels and prawns were finger-licking good. The manager was great, super friendly and helpful!
