To Elliniko brings the flavours of Greece to Nicosia's Engomi district, set within the grounds of the Hilton Nicosia. Modelled on the popular ouzomezedopoleio concept from Thessaloniki and Glyfada, it pairs a bright, food-market inspired setting with genuine Hellenic hospitality. The menu celebrates sharing: mezedes, crisp fried baby squid, saganaki shrimp, grilled octopus and orzo with fresh seafood, alongside hearty grills such as souvlaki and chops.

Diners regularly praise the perfectly cooked calamari, juicy grilled souvlaki and the standout feta in phyllo with honey and pistachios, plus attentive, professional service led by an engaged management team. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable and well suited to groups, family gatherings or a relaxed meal with friends over ouzo or a chilled glass of wine. Open daily for lunch and dinner, To Elliniko is a fitting choice for anyone seeking authentic Greek cuisine in the capital.

With a solid Google rating across hundreds of reviews, it remains a reliable local favourite for traditional tastes served in a modern, welcoming space.
