Evroulla

Tucked into Stoa Klokkari in Nicosia's old town, Evroulla is a rustic Cypriot tavern that has been feeding locals for generations. This is honest, home-style cooking at wallet-friendly prices: generous portions of grilled souvlakia and, on weekdays, a changing selection of daily homemade mageirefta (traditional cooked-to-order dishes) served with pita bread and vegetables. Weekends lean toward the grill, so expect a menu that shifts with the day.

The atmosphere is relaxed and historically charged, with a handful of tables inside and more spilling onto the pavement outside, making it well suited to couples and small families. Service is friendly and casual, and the fresh, tasty food keeps regulars coming back. With a 4.6 rating from over 600 diners, Evroulla is a dependable choice for anyone wanting a proper, affordable taste of authentic Cypriot cuisine in the heart of the capital. Note that hours are shorter on Wednesdays, when the kitchen closes in the afternoon.
