Shiftouris Ofto Kleftiko is a family-run restaurant tucked into a residential Larnaca neighbourhood, celebrated for its ofto kleftiko cooked slowly in a wood-fired clay oven. Reviewers repeatedly call it the best kleftiko in Cyprus, praising lamb so tender it falls off the bone, alongside Cypriot potatoes, freshly prepared salads and yoghurt. Beyond the signature lamb, the kitchen serves souvlaki, homemade sheftalia, halloumi and Cypriot village sausages.
There is no printed menu here; the experience is refreshingly simple, honest and generous, with big portions at budget-friendly prices. The setting is unpretentious, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and guests consistently highlight the friendly, attentive hospitality of the family who run it. Holding a 4.9 rating across hundreds of Google reviews, it draws locals and returning visitors alike, so booking ahead is wise as it gets very busy.
Open Thursday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and Sunday for lunch, Shiftouris offers an authentic taste of traditional Cypriot cooking rooted in more than a century of family tradition.
