There is a small cabin in the car park, which sells some of the best souvla and possibly the best sheftalia I've ever had! No exaggeration! The bar is fine and is as the name implies, the toilets are upstairs and quite a climb if you're not so good on your feet, if you're in Larnaca or out towards Oroklini then try this place, it's worth getting hungry for! Went back there (Sept 2022), still as good if not better, although the place is simply laid out the food is worth a Michelin star (or two)! Mrs Stilton had the Souvla, which, she pointed out was quality meat with just the right amount of fat to make it tender. For me mmmmm sheftalia!

Was out exploring the area. Found this place and stopped for a drink. They were so friendly we decided to return to eat there in the evening. We had a great meal at a reasonable price. The staff treated us as if we were special, very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this to everyone.

5 stars out of 5. Quick service, very tasty freshly cooked food, moderate prices. The salad dressing is not sour, the food is not oversalted - this was very important for us as we were with 2 y.o. children.
