Lemongrass Pan Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Paralimni

It felt like a bad Kitchen Nightmares episode, I was half expecting Gordon Ramsey to come out and start yelling at everyone. Service was feeling rushed, half rude and very unwelcoming by the majority of the staff (we had 4 different waiters coming to our table and it was 50/50 split, some were really nice and extremely apologetic). It was a busy night and kitchen seemed to be slammed, we noticed that they refused to sit more tables after ours. We wanted to try something unusual after having lots of authentic local food and were looking for a light dinner. Ordered a tom yam and two rolls (ebi tempura and mango-avocado). Rolls were ok, not much flavour or appearance difference between two of them and average rice to filling ratio. Tom yam was extremely “white washed”, looked blant and cloudy, even though it we expected it to be vegetarian, we were still surprised by the amount of them - two sad slices of baby corn and three pieces of shiitake mushroom. No tomatoes, no onions, no coconut milk, no authentic spices and flavours. Broth was just salted water with a bit of Chili. Waitress came to check on us and we asked if the kitchen messed up and sent us the wrong order, asking if it’s a miso soup because colour and cloudiness was resembling it more. She couldn’t recognized it and just said “try if it’s spicy, then it’s the one”. Might be nit picking, but staff should know visual differences between three soups on the menu. When we were trying to pay, it was hard to find anyone to ask for the bill and then everything once again felt rushed and rude. They were having a bad night and we definitely felt that...

Not gonna be returning there. Getting a different cuisine was an exciting prospect but not when it comes with such questionable flavours and qualities. It’s a shame because it’s a pretty establishment.

Unfortunately no photos because it was...

Beautiful Asian cuisine in Protaras.

The staff seated us quickly despite there being quite a queue to get in. We had a reservation for 8pm with our hotel and the split a table up to sit us down and those that were just walk ins. This way they could still seat all their hotel customers but also bring in extra business from the street.

Our orders were taken promptly and food was delivered hot and quickly. The staff were really friendly even though it was extremely busy, nothing was too much trouble and they were all smiling and helpful when you needed them.

We had the ribs with hoisin sauce to start, followed by a portion of lemon chicken and sweet and sour chicken. We finished by having the fruit ice cream, whilst I indulged in the chocolate spring rolls with strawberry sauce.

Every single dish was absolutely delicious, the BEST sweet and sour chicken that me and my partner had ever tasted, the lemon chicken was also magnificent. The desserts were extremely tasty and the chocolate rolls with sauce were the perfect way to clear my pallet. The whole experience was great and the drinks were really reasonably priced.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in or around protaras. Book to guarantee your seat. You will not be disappointed with the quality of the food or the...

If you go there on a busy night you need to be prepared to wait some time in order to be seated.

It is a good Chinese restaurant but nothing mind-blowing. I recommend the chicken teriyaki. The chicken was soft and tender and the teriyaki sauce salty and sweet to a perfect level. I have to say that their egg fried rice is one of the best I had! The service is very good and the food arrived relatively quickly considering that the place was packed.

I also particularly enjoyed the noodles with hoisin sauce but some people from our table found them a bit too sweet.

The kang pao chicken was another dish that sanded out. The chicken was perfectly panned and the sauce was very tasty.

The staff is also veri attentive and the prices might be a bit hight but nothing out of the ordinary for such a touristy street. The portions are very good and you are gonna leave dill for sure.

Also they have some good sushi options and a lot of vegetarian options, seafood etc.

If you are in protaras craving Chinese, lemongrass will definitely be a...
