Dear sports fans,
Nicosia is a city that has something special. It is the only bisected capital in the world and is also famous for its excellent cuisine.
Especially if you love grilled meat, then you should go to the first restaurant you come across and ask for a Cypriot ‘souvla’!
This is the traditional dish of the country. Specifically, they are large pieces of meat that are skewered on the coals! You can eat “shouvla” with meat from pork, lamb or chicken.
Many chefs and cooks cook it slowly – slowly, so that the meat is very juicy and you can’t wait to eat the next bite.
The aromas emanating from the grill are indescribable.
The spices that “decorate” the meat on the long skewer and the slow charcoal fire on the grill, cause an unimaginably pleasant explosion of flavors.
Many times on Sundays Cypriots have a habit of going to restaurants to eat “souvla”.
Along with the meats, you can get other traditional Cypriot dishes as side dishes. A country salad would be best or fries.
Wherever you go in Nicosia, be sure to find the traditional Cypriot dish and enjoy it in peace.
There is no need to rush to eat one of the most wonderful foods that exist not only in Cyprus, but in the entire Mediterranean.
You will be making a big mistake if you visit Nicosia and not go to a restaurant to eat “souvla“.
A good choice is Zanettos Cypriot Taverna (Address: 65 Trikoupi Str, Nicosia).
