Spilaio Tavern is a traditional Cypriot spot in Kato Deftera, just outside Nicosia, known for generous, family‑style meze and skillfully grilled meats. Regulars praise its succulent pork souvlaki and chops, alongside chicken kebab, beef burgers and fresh Cyprus salad. The meze brings a wide spread of classics, with plenty of vegetable dishes and, at times, traditional specialties such as snails.
The atmosphere is lively—especially on weekend evenings when there’s live music—making it a good choice for groups and family gatherings. It’s popular and often fully booked, so reserving ahead is wise, and peak times can mean longer waits. There’s convenient parking across the road.
With modest prices for the quality, many diners consider it good value. If you’re looking for an authentic local tavern experience a short drive from the city, Spilaio is a reliable pick for comforting Cypriot favorites and convivial evenings.
