Tasty and cheap

It's very tasty, falafel is very chrunchy outside and soft inside and I like the sesame addition to it. Hummus is amazing too, especialy one with thime added. Bread is home made, soft and warm. Stuff is friendly. Everithing is well labeled, like: vegan, vegetarian, alergens, gluten, keto, etc.

Ein absolutes Highlight auf Zypern!

So viele vegane Optionen hätten wir in dem hübschen Restaurant nicht erwartet. Wir mussten uns also einige Gerichte zusammenstellen. Das Essen kam schnell und alles war ausnahmslos köstlich und sah auch genauso aus. Die Falafeln dürften als perfekt anzusehen sein. Die Dame vom Service hat uns prima beraten, war freundlich und angenehm.
Bei der Anzahl an veganen Speisen ist es nahezu unfair, dass wir keine 5 Sterne vergeben dürfen. Die Preise waren zudem mehr als angemessen. 👍

Pros: Sehr viele vegane Optionen, perfekt deklariert , Sehr gute Speisen, einfach köstlich , Sehr guter Service, aufmerksam und beratend

Cons: Keine Nachteile

not our favorite

We had the vegan meze for 2. It was filling, although it was mostly hummus and salads. For 12€ per Person we would have expected more Falafel (only one for each person) or other foods that have carbohydrates. It also was too sour for us, everything tasted a lot like lemon. Wouldn’t come again.

the meze set is a proposed menu, can be main set, complemented or complementary, thus you can tailor your dining experienc according to your own needs, we suggest next time to order more falafel

Vegan meze

We had the vegan meze and it was incredible. All ingredients were incredibly fresh and it was a lot more than we could eat.
The waitress knew the exact differences between vegan and vegetarian.

Probably the best falafel I have ever uad

Can fully recommend it!

Pros: Quite cheap, Very delicious , Nice atmosphere and good service

Cons: If you are taller than (200cm / 6 5") then you, have to take care of you head when you are , going to the toilet

Very good vegan meal

Very lovely food. I like that we could order more plates and share. But portions are quite big, don’t order too many if you are not so hungry. We had great mousaka, some rolls with spinach, pita with peppers.. Lot of vegan options available.

Recommend this restaurant

Food was great and the staff was friendly. Falafel and hummus were amazing. Vegan dishes are marked out on the menu and staff was welled informed on vegan diet (and food allergies). We had a vegan meze to share and even dessert. We would warmly recommend if in Aiya Napa / Nissi beach, we came back twice during our visit.

Pros: Vegan articles marked out, Staff knowledgeable on vegan diet , Great falafel

Cons: Nothing😄

Vegan Meze

Absolutely come here if you’re in Nissi Beach or Ayia Napa, even our cab driver raved about it (you know it’s good when the locals visit it!) 12€ each for the vegan meze and you really get an impressive amount of food, yet none of it was heavy, it’s all so fresh and tasty. We also got the paprika potatoes which were top tier, and I only wish we had room for dessert!

Pros: Knowledgable on veganism, So affordable, Even vegan desserts

Cons: Just wish the baklava was vegan!

Best vegan options in Ayia Maps

After visiting a handful of touristy restaurants that were marked with ‘vegan options’ on TripAdvisor, we experienced the first restaurant in Ayia Napa to truly live up to that promise. Tons of vegan dishes, exceptionally tasty food and great service. Our four non-vegan kids loved the food too.
We’re definitely coming back for more!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great service, Menu with simple icons to identify vegan options

Cons: Acoustics not that good

My favorite place to eat in Aiya Napa

I ended up eating here 3 times during my vacation in Ayia Napa. The food is super tasty and fresh, and there are options for vegetarians, vegans and also gluten-free. I always ordered several small dishes (to taste more) and got the rest in a doggy bag without extra charge.

Pros: Lots of vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options , Great value, Fresh food

Just okay

Went with the family to this charming place in the outskirts of Agya Napa.

It started out alright with a nice table (even though they put out large brown paper sheets on the table to protect the beautiful table-cloths, which ended up with us feeling like messy toddlers), and we ordered drinks. My partner is pregnant, and they had 0,0 non-alcoholic beer; always a plus!

The menu was confusing. We wanted a little bit of everything (meze), but we couldn't quite figure out the vegan options. On several of the dishes was both a vegan symbol, and e.g. a lactose symbol. The waiter informed us that it meant that the dish could be veganised...

We accidentally received fatay with cheese, which was a big slip considering that they appear to be very vegan aware. The portions of the meze was hilariously small, and we actually tried to be proactive and order meze for 3 (2 adults + 1 child), but the waitress insisted that meze for two people was more than enough. We had to order extra dishes (falafel, hummus, fatay), which we didn't pay for, so thanks for that.

The food didn't arrive at the same time at all, and perhaps that's just how they do things, but in that case they didn't inform us...


OVERALL, the food was alright. Some of the dishes seemed pre-cooked, and even store-bought (I could be wrong!), but for the relatively low cost, it was fine. The ambience was cosy, and the staff both friendly and welcoming, even if they seemed pretty confused throughout our dinner.

If we ever return to Cyprus (we won't), we would most likely visit this place again out of love for middle eastern food and meze-like culinary arrangements.

Pros: Cosy ambience, Friendly and welcoming staff, Overall decent food

Cons: Confusing menu, mixed up vegan/vegetarian fatay, Small portions

5 Stars Best Vegetarian and Vegan food in Aiya Napa

Authentic decor, service and music.

The food was unreal! Super tasty and full of flavours. Plenty of choices on the menu for veg/vegan food.

Will be returning. Such a shame Happy Cow automatically deduct a star for not being fully vegan. 5 stars from us though.

Pros: Taste, price, service, menu

Cons: None
