Costaris Restaurant is a beloved Cypriot taverna in Deryneia, celebrated by locals and visitors for its standout kleftiko. Reviews praise the slow-baked lamb that falls off the bone, rich with flavor and paired with perfectly cooked roast potatoes. Classic sides complete the experience, including fresh horiatiki (village) salad, grilled halloumi, and delicious homemade tahini, while staples like souvlakia and sheftalia round out the traditional Cypriot menu.

Guests highlight friendly, quick service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that feels authentically local and great value for money. House wine is noted as reasonably priced, and some visitors mention enjoying an ouzo-based cocktail. Given the popularity of the kleftiko, reviewers note that when making a booking they even specify how many portions they want.

Whether you’re after comforting, time-honored flavors or a casual meal with friends, Costaris delivers a genuine taste of Cyprus at wallet-friendly prices.
