Jam Limassol — Restaurant in Limassol Municipality

Just ignore the place, save your time and money.

Mr Anatolios “the supper polite waiter” and also very proud of his instagram, I only asked his name for a review and he decided to shout out loud so that everyone can hear how to find his instagram 🤷‍♀️

I passed by for a quick lunch, came in, was asked to show safe pass, in response I have asked to have a sit first and I’ll show the safe pass, so that without a hassle and a bag in my hand I could do the right thing. In return I get a straight and kind of rude “no you can’t, show the safe pass first”. Okkkk sounded rude but reasonable..

I did show, sat, made my order. A couple of local girls arrive smile to the staff, everyone sees them, they sit at the table without any checks, and show their safe pass already while sitting, okkkz

Another couple of girls arrives, goes all around the place, say hi to the staff, sit, they get the menu, talk and only after 3-4 min kind waiter Anatolios asked them for their safe passes.

So the time comes and I ask mr Anatolios for my bill and how does he set the rules whom to allow to sit without a safe pass and who can’t sit, and of course I didn’t get an answer. I got an angry guy standing above me saying “so u want the bill” ???

Thanks for the spoilt lunch, I actually been giving this place a chance a couple of times, the very same waiter has always been acting very unprofessional and kind of arrogant whenever I came in alone or with my friends, it’s been two years of me passing by and giving a chance and today thanks to great Anatolios and his famous instagram I finally don’t feel like going there ever again, even though place looks cute and cozy, shame 🤷‍♀️ shame he works there, faces clients, including foreigners, especially considering the fact it’s located at hotel entrance, and spoils experience.

Zero apologies, only attack in response and bunch of arrogance. Highly recommend to train staff on what’s customer...

After being disappointed by so many “top” spots in Limassol after moving to Cyprus a few months ago. I finally discovered this hidden Gem.

I reluctantly turned up on a slow afternoon to try out their OG pancakes combined with halloumi and fried eggs and a smoothie. I will admit I was prepared for disappointment because most places in Limassol city centre keep focusing on aesthetics than the quality of food. But oh boy was I wrong! The pancakes were fresh and tasted even better than the pancakes I usually get from the “cookhouse” a different brunch spot a bit further away.

I was so impressed I dared to try something else on their menu the next day on a busy Saturday afternoon. I had the shrimp taco, chicken thighs and some courtesy pancakes for good measure. I can openly say that this restaurant has the best grilled chicken thighs in Limassol and even probably the entire Cyprus. They are so tender and juicy it’s like tasting a piece of magic with every bite. Initially, I considered Asado kosher (a different restaurant down the same alley way) as the only place to eat chicken from in Cyprus but Jam takes the 1st place now because it’s substantially cheaper, tastes better and the portions are significantly bigger.

The shrimp tacos tasted amazing! It’s something neither wagama, pier one or jamie oliver could pull off with their bests Chefs working together.

The service was really great as well, I don’t say this lightly because as a person of colour most restaurants in Cyprus are a bit funny and non receptive towards POC’s. I really appreciate how genuine their services were regardless of my gender or race. This is certainly going to be my new “spot” in Cyprus. I hope they keep up the good work and maintain...

I’ve been going to Jam for 2 years almost. My friends and I used to enjoy the coffee, breakfast and ambiance. And the service was impeccable. Unfortunately, it’s no longer the case. As we haven’t been in a few months due to hot weather in Limassol, we decided to go today to meet up. I was asked by the server how many people we were and I answered 5 people. She showed me to a corner table that had uncomfortable chairs. The place was rather empty surprisingly. There was only one other table that was being occupied. So I asked the waitress if I could move to a smaller table and combine it with the one next to it as it was more spacious and the chairs were far more comfortable. It’s a normal thing for coffee shops and restaurants to do this. She answered “no we can’t”. I suggested that I help her move them together and she said absolutely not. I asked if I could speak with the manager that I had known from before as it was a normal process to put two tables together and he never said anything to us. The server said that he had quit. I asked her perhaps I can speak to the new one as I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem. I sat myself down after having moved the tables closer and answered my phone. What happened next was just appalling. A head server or a manger came to me and said, “this is not your restaurant and Savvas is not here for you”. Savvas was the previous manager/ server. “You need to sit somewhere else!” And with that, I got up and left the place. I didn’t even bother having a discussion with the man. For a coffee shop associated with a well known hotel, it wasn’t the response I expected. I couldn’t believe that these servers were in the hospitality business. So this is the story of how we will never go...
