Kamasias is a beloved family-run taverna in the heart of Paralimni, welcoming guests since 1977 with traditional Cypriot cooking rooted in seasonal, local produce. The star of the table is the abundant meze: expect a parade of homemade dishes such as tyrokafteri, crispy kolokasi (taro) chips, tender chicken kontosouvli, slow-cooked ofto kleftiko, village makaronia with mince and freshly grated local halloumi, and even snails, alongside salads and dips. In summer the kitchen leans into fresh fish and seafood, while winter brings heartier country fare.
An extensive Cypriot and Greek wine list rounds out the meal. Diners consistently praise the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and genuinely warm, unpretentious hospitality that feels local rather than touristy. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds to the lively, celebratory mood, making it a favourite for families and groups.
Set on Daidalou Street away from the seafront, it offers an authentic dining experience; reservations are recommended, especially on busy weekend evenings.
