Taverna Papyros is a long-standing neighbourhood grill house in Latsia, Nicosia, known locally for keeping old-school Cypriot souvlaki traditions alive. Regulars describe it as one of the few genuinely traditional places left in the area, prizing authenticity over trends. The kitchen often works with seasonal vegetables and produce sourced outside the mainstream supply chain, including homemade sausages from local craftsmen and green olives from private trees.

Potatoes are fried fresh to order rather than from pre-fried frozen stock, a detail loyal customers specifically call out.

With a perfect 5.0 Google rating from its reviewers, it remains a trusted, low-key spot for anyone craving honest, home-style Cypriot cooking.
