Grada Taverna — Restaurant in Oroklini

Really disappointed. We came here before and it was tasty but yesterday was a terrible experience.

Summary: Meat Meze was mostly vegetarian and very basic. Lacked flavour and was oversalted. Very simple dishes. The old lady working there is really sour and arrogant. She made several comments which are inappropriate and tried to force us to order three meze when it was clearly written only 2 need to be ordered. Terrible atmosphere as well, low lights and the energy of the place is very tense.

Chef didn’t come out the whole night. Usually they are proud of their food but perhaps they realised that last night there was nothing to be proud of.

We ordered the meat meze, 90% of it is vegetarian and with a lot of carbs. For example three plates were 1) Pasta with Lentils, 2) Pasta with mushroom 3) couscous with raisins and pasta. Mostly small dips and vegetables, nothing unique. The little meat that did come was very dry and was oversalted. 90% of meat is pork. Not worth the difference in price. Quality of food: 4/10

Service was a mixed experience. The lady working there was very arrogant and paid little attention to details. There are several mistakes on the menu which she just ignored and got very defensive. Then we asked for another order to substitute rice with paste as one of the guests has a allergy to rice. The lady said they dont have any kind of pasta in the restaurant so they cant offer this. Funny, because the meat meze had three vegetarian pasta dishes…terrible customer service. Cant even make a customer happy who has an allergy, little thinking out of the box is perhaps too much to ask at this place.

On the other hand, they employ a man who brings the drinks and dishes out. He is very friendly and does his job well. Very nice energy and kind.

Overall after reading reviews and coming here in the past, this has been a total let down. The passion of the lady and chef must have gone down the drain as the service and food...

We are two couples of Italians on a holiday in Cyprus and tonight we decided to have a dinner at this restaurant. Apart from the orrible lights and the annoying fans everything seemed fine until an old unpleasant lady came for the orders. We wanted to order two plates of mixed sea food (in the menu min 2 people), one grilled octopus and one shrimps "à la chef". The lady became suddenly upset and said that we had to order at least 3 plates of mixed sea food so we agreed and we didn't order the shrimps. The lady also asked us if we wanted a salad (that was included with the mixed sea food plates) and we also agreed. We received the food and we ate it and it was fine, not bad. Then in the bill the salad was present and we asked why, receiving as an answer, that we ordered a big salad, that was not true. In any case we payed everything and we won't came back. To sum up, they ruined everything because of their narrowness. P.s. the white whine of the...

The worst tavern I have ever been in Cyprus in 8 years living here. Came here while visiting Oroklini for a couple of days. The Google rating looked good which I am currently surprised about. Rude,angry and completely not friendly staff. The lady taking the orders is acting like we owe her money. Order fish platter for 2. Then they came back saying that run out of seafood and can do nonly few dishes on the grill. I ordered prawns from chef that came unsaulty whatsoever. Everything tastes like old and cooked by kids. Awful grilled calamari the worst in my life. Was hoping that octopus will be better but was a frozen one from lidl cooked worse that I could do myself. Thanks God potato fries were just eatable. Omg 15-18 euros per plate like in an high end restaurant. I would better eat lays chip at hope . That place should be closed. Cannot be called a restaurant. I am going to pay around 100 euro for 2 + 1 kid and I am still hungry and...
