Khōra brings contemporary Mediterranean and Greek cooking to the heart of Nicosia's Old Town, set within a beautifully restored early-1900s mansion whose elegant, thoughtfully designed interior sets the tone for a special evening. The seasonal, sharing-style menu leans on high-quality ingredients and creative combinations: guests praise the amberjack ceviche, scallops, beets, sea bass and standout mains like beef giouvetsi and chateaubriand, alongside beloved halloumi with jam and freshly baked bread. A carefully curated wine list and signature cocktails such as the Artemis round out the experience, while the galaktoboureko wins fans among the desserts.

Diners consistently highlight warm, knowledgeable and attentive service that elevates the whole meal. With its refined yet welcoming atmosphere, Khōra suits romantic dinners, anniversaries and family celebrations, and has hosted events such as christening lunches. Open evenings Tuesday through Saturday, it is popular enough that booking ahead—ideally a week in advance—is strongly recommended. A memorable choice for anyone seeking elegant dining in central Nicosia.
