Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Andreas Georgiou Makris established the restaurant, which he eventually turned over to his son-in-law, Meletios Synnos, in 1992. Since then, Meletios Synnos has managed every part of the business. The rustic building, tucked away in the woodland, is the ideal location for lunch or dinner, as well as a cup of coffee away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When you visit us, you will have the chance to indulge in meals of the greatest quality and typical Greek Cypriot flavours that you will find difficult to leave behind. We take pride in serving you plates that are served within minutes of placing your orders. Our menu is rounded out by a selection of local wines that suit any dish you order. We hope that Andreas, our father and grandfather, is looking down on us with pride for the legacy he left behind. In adoration of grandfather Andreas.
