Top 5 Middle Eastern food in Nicosia, Nicosia District, Cyprus
Find out what Middle Eastern restaurants to try in Nicosia. Nicosia, the capital of the island of Cyprus, has incorporated elements of the many empires and kingdoms that have claimed it over centuries stretching back to the Bronze Age. Narrow winding streets lead visitors from the Cyprus Museum, with its collection of Neolithic and Roman artifacts, to the thick city wall. Built in the 1600s by the Venetians, the wall now divides the ancient part of the city from the modern. Step through the stone gates and enter a place where the past is still alive.

The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. It has wonderful oriental atmosphere (though it is ruined a bit with huge TVs all over the walls). The staff is super quick and helpful. Very good service. Finally, the food is utterly delicious: very rich in taste. Literally everything from meze menu (only 18 euros per person) is very good! We personally fell in love with moutabbal, mouhamarah, falafel, fatayer bil jobn and shish tawouk. Visit them on Friday or Saturday night (when there is a belly dance show) and you will have a great time!

I decided to go after reading the reviews. It is really good, if you like spiced food (which I love). Totally different and tasty. The portions are big also. I recommend it!

One of the shop owners near the land crossing recommended this restaurant and we were impressed with the service despite only one person being able to speak English! The initial waiter didnât want to serve us once he realised we donât speak Turkish which was quite disappointing. Some of the chicken meatball was undercooked on the inside. However, the mixed platter & Adana kebab was good overall. The restaurant is set in a beautiful courtyard and it was buzzing. Canât imagine what it would be like in the summertime. Despite the small negative aspects, the food was good overall and worth a visit if you ever cross the land border in Nicosia!
