Tucked away on Ayiou Georgiou Street in Lakatamia, Tavernaki I Mastorka is a family-run Cypriot taverna known for classic grilled fare such as pork and chicken souvlaki and sheftalia. Regulars, including Cypriots living abroad, praise the warm hospitality and lively mood, with some evenings featuring live music that adds to the taverna's family-friendly atmosphere. The dining room is described as nicely decorated, making it a comfortable choice for a relaxed dinner with friends or family. Open for dinner only, Monday through Saturday from 17:30 to 23:00 and closed on Sundays, it draws diners looking for straightforward, traditional Cypriot cooking in an unpretentious setting. Most visitors leave impressed by the food, music and genuinely hospitable service, though a few reviews note that the exterior signage and wooden cladding could use a refresh, and that grill orders depend on the taverna's butcher supplier, which has occasionally caused mix-ups with a full order.
