Το Παλιό Σινεμά serves traditional, home‑cooked Cypriot meze in the mountain village of Kalopanagiotis (Nicosia district). Guests highlight hearty portions, fair prices and friendly, efficient service. A terrace with views over the village makes it a pleasant spot on clear days, while a working fireplace creates a warm, cozy atmosphere on cold winter nights.

Meze comes with a selection of starters and cooked dishes, and some diners mention dessert being included. Families feel welcome—children are reported to enjoy the food—and the setting suits groups sharing a relaxed meal. Pastitsio is noted by visitors as a popular choice, though it may sell out on busy days.

Open for lunch on weekends and for dinner on Saturdays, it’s a reliable stop for comforting Cypriot flavors in a traditional village setting. Recent reviewers also noted that online booking was handled quickly, adding convenience for those planning a visit.
