Plaka Tavern

Plaka Tavern is a traditional Cypriot taverna set by a small square in Engomi, Nicosia. Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, it’s praised for a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere where “time has stood still,” warm and kind service, and very good value. Guests dine in a leafy garden under the trees and share meze—an ever‑flowing sequence of classic Cypriot tastes—consistently described as well cooked, flavorful and authentic.

Old tunes often set the mood, and on some nights there’s live music that enhances the relaxed, village‑tavern feel. Reviews note excellent prices and quality-focused portions, making it a great choice for an unhurried evening with friends or visitors seeking a genuine local experience. For a taste of Cyprus hospitality in the heart of Engomi, Plaka Tavern delivers inviting ambiance, friendly people and satisfying meze that brings traditional flavors to the table.
