Piatsa Gourounaki Express brings the classic Greek grill experience to the heart of Nicosia in a relaxed, self-service format: order and pay at the counter, take a beeper, and collect your food when it's ready. The kitchen turns out big, sizzling portions of char-grilled meats, pork, chicken and lamb souvlaki, gyros in Cyprus pita, kebabs, sheftalies and chops, accompanied by fresh salads and flavourful dips. Vegetarian choices such as falafel are also on hand.

Diners consistently praise the generous portions, fair prices and attentive, friendly staff, with several noting the welcome touch of a complimentary dessert and shot. There's ample seating both inside and out on the terrace, and the outdoor tables are pet-friendly, dogs are even offered water. Open daily from noon to 11pm, it's a convenient, good-value stop for a quick lunch, a casual meal with friends, or a hearty grilled dinner while exploring the city centre. Wash it all down with a tasty draught beer.
