Piatsa Gourounaki is a hugely popular Greek souvlaki and grill house tucked along Faneromeni Street in the heart of old Nicosia. With a stellar 4.8 rating from thousands of diners, it has become a genuine local favourite as well as a magnet for visitors exploring the Ledra area. The kitchen turns out generous, satisfying portions of gyros, pork and other grilled meats, alongside crowd-pleasing starters such as fried cheese, zucchini balls, bulgur, tzatziki, Greek salad and moussaka.

Bread and fries typically accompany the meal, and diners are often sent off with a complimentary homemade dessert like panna cotta and a shot of ouzo. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive and quick, with English-speaking staff who make tourists feel welcome. You can dine indoors, where the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, or take a table out on the lively street, especially pleasant under the evening lights.

With reasonable prices and hearty food, it offers excellent value in the city centre. Open for lunch and dinner most days.
