Ambeli Tavern — Restaurant in Ayia Napa

AMAZING FOOD!!!! The best food we had in Cyprus by far, and also the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Everything was just authentic Greek food - so fresh, had so much flavour, were generous portions and affordably priced.

3 of us got 6 starters to share and that was the perfect amount for a light dinner. We got the calamari, prawn saganaki, garlic prawns, eggplant stuffed with feta, grilled halloumi and sesame honey grilled feta. Everything was PERFECT - the photos don’t do it justice. The last dish wasn’t even on the menu but I’d had it somewhere else and asked if they had it and they happily offered to make it for me. You could tell all the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, they gave us complimentary freshly baked bread (still warm from the oven) with dips and homemade ouzo shots. One of us is celiac/gluten free and they were very accommodating.

We were so sad it was our last night as we would come back in a heartbeat to try the rest of the menu, there were so many more things that sounded amazing. The atmosphere was great and it was decorated perfectly, they also have live music on Saturdays. It only opened last week and had no reviews so we took a chance on it and it exceeded every expectation. Make sure you eat here when you...

Absolutely amazing experience!! The restaurant was only opened one week prior to our visit. Staff were so accommodating and friendly from the door. Environment is very lovely inside, plants and cute decorations. Staff even offered to make a dish we were craving, which wasn’t on the menu, after we asked if they had it. We were given complimentary Ouzo shots on arrival and fresh, warm bread and sauce to dip. The food was incredible, we had the eggplant and feta, prawns (both garlic and saganaki), halloumi, baby calamari, and fried honey sesame feta (was not on menu but offered to make by staff). One of us was also gluten free and the staff were very conscious and accommodating for it. We also drank the peach iced tea which was yum. The prices were very affordable and this was hands down, the best food we had eaten on our trip. A must visit if you’re visiting Ayia Napa!! They also do live music on...

Add this place to your list when in Ayia Napa!!! We went and it had only been open for a week prior and were amazed by the food and service. Staff were extremely warm and welcoming, they even went as far as to especially making a dish that wasn’t one the menu that one of us asked about. I’m celiac and they made sure to check the ingredients of every dish and explain what I can and can’t have.

As for the food, we were amazed by all the dishes. The saganaki prawns were heavenly and the egg plant stuffed with feta was fresh and with deep flavour. We were so disappointed as we only discovered it on our last night and would die to go back. We walked past their live music which is on on Saturdays and it looked vibrant and fun. You can’t leave Ayia Napa without visiting...
