Gabriel Restaurant is a taverna in Sotira, Famagusta district, close to Ayia Thekla, serving Cypriot classics such as pork souvlaki, sheftalia, pork chop and beef liver. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays), it sits at a mid-range price point with a relaxed, village-taverna feel and background music noted by guests. Customer reviews are mixed: several diners praise the friendly, helpful staff, reasonable prices and standout dishes like pork chop and beef liver, describing memorable summer evenings at the table. Other visitors report inconsistent kitchen execution, describing souvlaki and sheftalia as overcooked, dry or bland on some visits, and noting slow service even when the taverna was quiet. With only 25 Google reviews behind its 4.5 average, quality appears to vary by visit, so first-time guests should go in with that in mind while still giving this local grill house a try.
