Magazaki is a warm, family-run grill house on Kennedy Avenue in Paralimni, beloved by locals and visitors alike for authentic Greek and Cypriot cooking at honest prices. Everything is freshly prepared, and the charcoal-grilled meats are the stars: the generous Mixed Grill is a genuine feast, best shared, alongside souvlaki, kebabs and lamb chops. Home-style dishes shine too, from kritharaki (orzo) with braised beef shank to slow-cooked classics that even young children enjoy.

Portions are famously large, so diners are often advised to order one plate between two, with staff happy to steer you toward the right amount rather than upsell. Guests praise the friendly, attentive service, thoughtful wine recommendations, a clean and spacious room, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere often set to traditional music. Expect around €20 per person including soft drinks, plus little touches like a complimentary slice of sponge cake to finish.

Open daily from noon to 11pm, it is an easy choice for families, groups and anyone craving a real local food experience away from the tourist strip.
