Fantastic restaurant, beautiful food and lovely staff. We went here several times during our holiday and enjoyed every meal. We were remembered and welcomed back even in the second visit.

Friend recommended this place to us, so we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed! Food was amazing! My partner has mixed grill, he loved it, kids enjoyed their orders too, unfortunately I can not remember what they ordered. I'm vegetarian and...potato lover so I had patatnik... Oh my goodness, that brought some great memories from my childhood as my dad used to make it. And service was amazing! The girl, who served us was so polite and helpful and the gentleman who I spoke to had amazing sense of humour. 5* food and service.More

LOVELY!!! Being a Bulgarian who has lived in England for many years, I never expected to come to Cyprus for a holiday and have such an amazing Bulgarian restaurant at my doorstep. I read a review saying “better then the food in Bulgaria” and honestly...so true. The food was amazing, and so was the service. The staff are amazing. As you can see by the pictures, it was very much enjoyed. I didn’t stop thinking and talking about it the whole holiday. The food and the Bulgarian beer really took me back.More

We had a superb meal, three courses at a struggle. Halloumi, not Cypriot but Bulgarian was lovely and then every course that followed was excellent. Lamp chops succulent but not over spiced, chicken kebab moist and well flavoured. Followed by an amazing Crepe Suzette. All...washed down with lovely wine. Thank you to Simona and Botio for looking after us with so much lovely hospitality. We will be back xxMore

We've had fish meze for two and we really liked it. The only thing was that the dishes could have been served at a slower pace, we felt a bit rushed. But in general, we can recommend the place.

So, so good. Extremely friendly and relaxed in here. The food was just fantastic. We were in a group of 8 (2 families with 2 teenage kids each). We all had something different for our main meal and literally all of us said theirs was...superb. Also had a variety of deserts which was enjoyed as well. Not all of us went with a pudding as the main meal portion was fairly generous. I don’t drink and they have alcohol free beer available - something that the restaurants here is Cyprus don’t seem to have as often as you might think.More

Good restaurant with a large variety of Greek/mediteranian and Bulgarian dishes. The service is friendly snd very service oriented. Nice live music on Friday ans Saturday evenings. Only negative aspect is the location close to the road (which is similar for most of the restaurants...in this area though).More

The best food in Paphos! A great family ambience with even better food and so fairly priced too!! We can not recommend this place enough. This is the only place we went to more than once on our holiday - we actually went three times...in a week! First night we had pork souvlaki with the Cyprus dips, halloumi and pitta The second night one of us had mussels and chicken skewers with sides The third night we had the meat meze for two. The food is amazing, the hosts are amazing , wine is amazing , beer is amazing !! Can not recommend this place enough 🖤More

Anyone in the area should try for beautiful Bulgarian food, a warm welcome and really a quality of food you do not find in the local restaurants nearby. Try it you will not regret it.
