Tucked away on Agiou Georgiou Street in Latsia, Το Κουζινάκι της Σταυρούλλας ("Stavroulla's Little Kitchen") is a modest, home-style Cypriot kitchen with a devoted local following. The menu of mageirefta (traditional home-cooked dishes) changes daily, and reviewers repeatedly compare the cooking to a grandmother's home meals, praising it as excellent value for money. It opens around 11:30 Monday through Saturday, with slightly longer hours Tuesday to Friday and shorter service on Monday and Saturday, and it is closed on Sundays.

Sitting in the Latsia district of Nicosia, it suits a quick, satisfying lunch stop rather than a leisurely evening out. With a 4.6 rating from 38 Google reviews, the large majority of guests leave impressed by the flavour and attentiveness of the staff, though a small number of reviews mention slower service and a cramped waiting area during busy periods, so arriving early or ordering ahead for pickup is advisable. It remains a straightforward, unpretentious spot for authentic Cypriot comfort food.
