Popped in yesterday evening after having read the reviews on Google. I must say it was everything the good ones said and more. Live guitarist/singer. Beautiful ambience and I must say beautiful food. The wife said the moussaka was the best she's ever had. As stated by previous reviewers food is good value for money and the portions are spot on. Chris (family owner/staff) was very lovely and the food was quick. My mixed SOUVLAKI was great......beef shish was amazing. Chicken a tad bit on the dry side but still enjoyable. Pitta/naans were on point. Would definitely go there again. 3 starters......1 beer, caraf of wine and 2 mains all for under 50 euros. Definitely give this place a try. Sadly in an area where many bars and restaurants have shut down but this doesn't take away from anything the restaurant has to offer. In fact it makes it a bit of a hidden gem.....a so called diamond in the rough. Give it a go. You won't regret it. Dinesh and Gemma

Diese nette kleine Taverne befindet sich etwas abseits in einer Seitengasse von Agia Napa. Was direkt auffällt: tolles Ambiente und sehr schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse aus. Definitiv ein Ort, an dem man schön als Gruppe sitzen und zum Beispiel auch einfach nur ein paar Drinks genießen kann. Ich war aber mit meiner Frau zum Essen hier und wir wurden auch direkt sehr nett empfangen. Der Service hier war die ganze Zeit über wirklich nett und aufmerksam. Als Getränk haben wir uns den Abend über 1 l selbstgemachten Sangria geteilt, welcher schön kühl und frisch war - auch nicht zu süß, was ich immer sehr mag. Wie in den Tavernen in Agia Napa üblich, ist die vegetarische Auswahl jetzt nicht sehr groß, aber man findet hier sowohl Vor- als auch Hauptspeise und die Sachen, die auf der Karte sind, wirken auch sehr passend und gut durchdacht. Meine Frau hatte es da etwas einfacher, denn Kota scheint auf Fleischspieße aller Art spezialisiert zu sein. Am Ende habe ich mich für die vegetarische Platte entschieden und meine Frau sich für das Lamm Sishkebap. Vorher gab es für uns beide aber noch einen Teller mit drei Dips nach Wahl und Champignons in Knoblauchbutter. Die Champignons waren verdammt lecker - klare Empfehlung von uns beiden. Die Dips waren insgesamt gut. Wir hatten Hummus, Tzatziki und scharfen Käse. Der scharfe Käse war zwar nur leicht pikant, aber trotzdem sehr gut und lecker. Hummus und Tzatziki gingen komplett in Ordnung, gibt's aber beides definitiv auch besser in Agia Napa. Kann man machen, aber extra dafür herkommen würde ich nicht. Beim "Main Event" waren wir etwas überrascht, dass mein vegetarisches Essen besser geschmeckt hat, als das Sishkebap meiner Frau. Sie meinte, das Fleisch an sich hat etwas trocken und unspektakulär geschmeckt und war gleichzeitig zu stark und künstlich gewürzt. Mein Essen war dagegen schon ein ganz anderes Kaliber: ich habe eine unglaublich große Platte mit gerösteten Kartoffeln, Halloumi, zwei Arten von Falafel bzw. irgendwelchen Kichererbsenbällchen bekommen, die beide sehr unterschiedlich, aber auf ihre Art großartig geschmeckt haben und hatte dazu noch zwei sehr gute Gemüse-Spieße. Und obendrauf gab es dann noch die wahrscheinlich besten Dolmades, die ich je auf der Insel hatte. Ich war also mehr als zufrieden und sehr angenehm überrascht, wie gut sie ihr Konzept hier in vegetarisch umgesetzt haben. Insgesamt hat die Qualität vom Essen also etwas geschwankt. Nichts war jetzt furchtbar oder so, aber manche Sachen waren halt großartig, andere eher so durchschnittlich. Grundsätzlich kann ich das Kota empfehlen, vor allem wenn man Grillspieße mag, aber bei der starken Konkurrenz in der Nähe wäre es jetzt auch nicht die erste Taverne, in die ich sofort gehen würde.

It’s a nice family-run restaurant with plenty of tables available, but it’s always pretty crowded and you feel like the people at the table next to you are sitting at your table instead. The food is nice, but it depends on what you order. The beef souvlaki is good, and the kleftiko is fine, but it could be softer. Moussaka is not bad, but there’s way too much zucchini in it (and it’s very thick). My biggest disappointment were the calamari. They look and smell great, but they were not cleaned properly at all! Each piece had an inedible string that should have been removed prior to frying and serving. If this was my only meal at the restaurant I would’ve given a 1-star rating easily. They also have products for sale in the back, such as wine, jam and spices. I wish the honey wine they sold came in glass bottles and not plastic ones.

Went here based on google reviews about how this is a family owned restaurant. Firstly, it’s a nice quiet location. The owner greeted us immediately and he was extremely friendly. We had small children with us and he was very accommodating. His wife brought colouring books over to keep my daughter occupied and made sure we sat close to the fans so our 8 month old would stay cool. The food, was AMAZING! the best souvlaki I’ve ever had. The halloumi fries were so good I had to order another portion! I absolutely loved how friendly the owners were they really made you feel so welcome. It is family run and even the owners children were cleaning tables. I would go to this restaurant a million times! When we were ready to go he called us a taxi and offered to help get our things to the taxi (push chair etc) I wish I could add photos but once I took the first bite, I didn’t want to waste any time taking pictures as I enjoyed the food that much. Thank you so so much for your hospitality and making us feel so welcome. Best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Thank you again! You need to go to this lovely place if you are...

We were really excited to visit this place, but sadly it was a disappointment.

Everything started out great, they served drinks fast - honey wine and lemonade were actually delicious, and it was a live music night. So, we ordered meat Meze for 2 people, and after 15-20 minutes of waiting we already started noticing that people get their orders really slowly. Our first part of meze - just 3 dips, a salad and cold dolmades and pita took them 30(!) minutes to bring out. How long does it actually take to pour some dips and warm up a pita?! The rest of the dishes were stretched for another hour, and after 1,5 hours of waiting we still haven’t gotten to actual meat part of meze!! Outrageous! We were so fed up with all the waiting that we cancelled our order. gladly, they did deduct part of the Meze cost from the bill. But no one apologized for this! They just asked “are you in a hurry?” Really? It was already 22:00 pm and the place is open till 22:30, we’re you going to serve the rest of the dishes at 22:25?

It was a light dinner for us, to...

Being here at the end of October, many restaurants had closed for the winter and we actually intended to eat at another place but walked past Kota and were attracted by its local style and quite a few happy looking diners. We wanted to try their honey wine but were sensibly advised this was more of a dessert option so instead had a medium red bottle of their house wine, produced in Crete by their sister winery. It was really tasty and went well with both my husband's choice of moussaka (fresh from the oven) and my vegetarian grill selection. The highlight of the visit was most definitely Kris & his wife who were both incredibly welcoming, sharing the best way to make tzatziki and bringing us a taste of the honey wine at the end of the meal. They only take cash which meant we didn't have much left to buy any of their products but Chris gave us a 100ml bottle of the honey wine that we could take back on the plane. Absolutely lovely food & atmosphere. Highly...
