Been coming here for a while now. The view over the Med from Esentepe never gets old, food&#39;s been consistent every time. Service is fine too.

The chicken shawarma here is consistently good, well-marinated and juicy. The Arabic bread stands out, softer than at other spots in town. Portions are generous for the price. I sat near the window and the seat was comfortable enough to enjoy the meal without rushing. Just wish they&rsquo;d wipe the tables a bit quicker between customers.

Came for lunch, sat in the garden. Pretty quiet when I got there, then it filled up with locals. Had the fresh fish &mdash; simple, cooked right. No complaints. Service was a bit slow but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Stopped by for a quick bite and grabbed a few of the local pastries and a salad. Portions are decent for the price, not gonna complain. Place was busy but the guy at the counter still took his time to explain what everything was. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something authentic without the tourist markup.

The apple pie gelato here is honestly one of the best I&rsquo;ve had anywhere. So creamy, with real chunks of apple and that cinnamon kick. I also grabbed a dark chocolate sorbet that was properly intense. Place was busy when I popped in, but the girl behind the counter stayed patient while I took forever deciding. Wish they had more seating though.

The dessert selection really stood out &mdash; chocolate cake, apple crumble, even ice cream. Plenty for vegans and non-vegans. Staff took the time to point out what was safe for me, which I appreciated. Seating was comfortable too, so we didn&#39;t feel rushed. Just a decent spot for a relaxed meal.

The garlic shrimp and duck with pomegranate sauce are still as good as the first time I came here. That bread with dips they bring out is a nice touch too.

The grilled octopus was perfectly charred and tender &mdash; that alone made it worth stopping in. Just wish the street noise wasn&#39;t so loud.

The terrace view really is something&mdash;you can see the whole coastline while you eat. I had the grilled sea bass and it tasted properly fresh, not frozen. Just wish the music wasn&#39;t quite so loud, made it hard to enjoy the quiet. Still, for a relaxed dinner with a view, it does the job.

Been coming here for years and the food&#39;s still spot on. They remember us every time, which honestly makes the whole place feel like home. One of the better spots around here for sure.

We&rsquo;ve been coming here for a while now, and the Chateaubriand for two is still the reason. Cooked exactly how we asked, every single time. Staff remembered us and gave us the corner table again. It&rsquo;s not the cheapest, but you pay for consistency. Just wish they&rsquo;d dim the lights a bit more in the evening.

Stopped here mid-walk along the boardwalk. Got a smoothie, lots of fruit in it, not too sweet. Sat in the shade for a bit, watched people go by. Fine spot to rest your legs. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Been here a few times now and the food stays solid every single visit. Chef knows their stuff, no complaints. Service has been good too, though it did get a bit busy last time.

Stopped here for a late lunch right on the harbour. Grilled sea bass was fresh, no complaints there. They even brought out a little orange cake on the house at the end, which was a nice touch. Prices seemed fair for being right by the water. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

We came back four nights in a row while on holiday. Lamb ribs were spot on, souvlaki fresh. Kids actually asked to go again.

The citrus ceviche was spot on, really fresh. Chicken al mattone came out juicy with that pesto doing the heavy lifting. Solid lunch pick.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly the pizza was solid. Got a margherita and it was decent size for the price. Wings were good too, not overly saucy. Place was pretty empty which I didn&#39;t mind. Staff got me in and out fast. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Cozy spot with a decent vegan pizza option. The staff put tables together for our group of 7 without any fuss. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a late breakfast and got the full English. Bacon and sausages were decent quality, came out hot. Portion was fair for the price, though I&#39;ve seen bigger for less elsewhere. The homemade chips were a nice touch, actually. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The trout was really good and the grilled veggies came out perfect. Portions are generous for sure. Prices seemed fair for what you get. Solid spot if you&#39;re after proper Cypriot food.
