Without a doubt the best meal I’ve had here

Highly recommend the ‘sieftalies’ - lovely seasoning with little chunks of onion, alongside gorgeous extra virgin olive oil-drenched salad, and great chips, too. The courgette balls were nice although they seemed to contain mostly carrot, and the PB meatballs were good too, but I cannot stress enough how great the sieftalies were. Fantastic service, very dry-humoured, wind-up merchant of a gentleman serving us, but he was great! Knowledgeable on vegan options even suggested we could have the baklava if we got it without ice cream, which we did, and it was lovely, very rich, though!

Funny owner

The owner was a little "scherzkeks", made lots of jokes but was always friendly. Moussaka was okay (was my first time) but didn't really convinced me.
The dips with pita bread were sooo good, especially the baba ganoush. Atmosphere was cozy and i would ge there a second time.

Good options and lovely staff

Visited here and I had the vegan moussaka and my girlfriend had the vegan meatballs. With were very good! A theme with Cyprus where you feel a little judged for being vegan, with the odd comment. I get it's a very new thing to Cyprus. We had the baclava which we were told was vegan but pretty sure it has Honey on it. However the Apple pie we were told was vegan was delicious.
Beautiful place and staff were friendly and funny even with the 1 or 2 jokes/comments we got for ordering the vegan options. Still deserving of a visit!!

Pros: Tasty and fresh food, Helpful and funny staff, Good portion sizes

The moussaka!!!

We visited here following the reviews here and were not disappointed! I went for the plant-based meatballs and my partner went for the moussaka. I am not a fan of aubergines in general, but I can vouch for that dish as it was really good!!!
Staff was really friendly and all the options were clearly labelled. We sat next to the fireplace and we had an amazing evening!

Tasty and friendly

We ordered the vegan meatballs and moussaka and both were delicious!
I was offered olive oil to go with my pita bread (starter), instead of butter.

Great, friendly service

Very welcoming. Good understanding of vegan (brought olive oil for the bread instead of butter). I ordered moussaka and my husband had the plant based meatballs. Both dishes were tasty and filling.

Pros: Great service

Cons: Vegan apple pie but nothing to go with it

Vegan friendly and authentic flavours

Vegan options clearly labelled and there were a few. I had the moussaka which was delicious. I think we may even head back again to try the vegan meatballs on flatbread.

Pros: Moussaka, Vegan options clearly labelled, Staff were lovely

Mandra pitta and moussaka

First the food was amazing clearly stated vegan items on the menu which really helps I had the meatless meatball pitta and my partner had the vegan moussaka

Both where amazing

The servers where friendly and helpful even providing us with free pitta to start and didn't give us butter they gave use olive oil as they understood from order we where vegan..

100% advice going if you are vegan or non vegan

Pros: Food, Service, Price

Pros: Would return nice atmosphere, Nice fresh salad
