My husband always rates a restaurant on the quality of their Moussaka. His father was a chef in Glasgow for a very famous Cypriot. . Afelia (the pork dish) is absolutely one of my favourite dishes. Cats gotta love them. You have no choice in Cyprus 😂 Cyprus coffee..... If you find it bitter, ask for medro. It has a little sugar in it. Ohhh and if you really wanna have an authentic Cypriot drink ask for a Zivania. ... Puts hairs on your chest, cleans windows, starts your car... 😂😂 Another nice video. Great to see you go for authentic meze. Its always going to be a winner in my eyes!
Hiya Lee. Now that’s a proper meze. There did seem a lot for one person as meze is for two people. The food looked absolutely fantastic. Another great vlog Lee.
God Evening lee. I was so pleased to see you come back to this Beautiful Greek Cypriot Family run Establishment for 45+ years as Mr. Phivos was telling you Lee. The menu was really superb. You chose the most perfect choice, that was the Meze, selection of Greek Cypriot Dishes home cooked with Love. Every dish looked really Delicious and so, so Succulent to try out. I do like a Good well made Mouzaka with Aubergine and vegetables, the Gorgeous bowl of Greek Salad looked really Delicious. You did not need any chips with this Beautiful Meze. I would have had the same, i was pleased to hear you were Driving so you only had a Sparkling water. Very sensible Lee. Greek Coffee is one of the Best drinks to have after such a Beautiful selection of Greek Quisine. Excellent Lee.. 12/10.
Back in 1969 a full meze for 2 (over 50 dishes) with a bottle of wine cost 10 shillings and was enjoyed over the whole warm summer evening. It is not just a meal but an event outside under starry skies.
Well done for trying all those dishes Lee. My mouth was watering at the sight. It's great to try new things rather than stick to what we know and love. 👍
That food looks delicious 😋 🤤. That’s why the cat was hanging around, the cat knows the best restaurant in town & free food leaving the customer (Lee) to foot the bill.😻😺
Dare I say a Taxi might have been a good option, 2 miles would have been a fiver and you could have had a nice bottle of Retsina with your meal which looked fantastic by the way, a nice touch for you to have sat outside so as not to disturb other diners, I reckon Phivo's takings will be up after this presentation this summer.
What an enormous amount of food! I love Greek food and have had holidays there quite a lot. I also lived in Cyprus as a kid and I remember that the people are lovely!
As I'm a R.A.F brat I lived In Cyprus for three years. Well done in this vlog. I am a fussy eater but Cypriot food meat or sea is fresh and tasty . With the meze you get a taste of everything and then you know what to home in on next time. Take the Mrs next time and try a mixed meze. Good on you for changing it up.
Hooray! You finally had some local food. I live in Romania and there are some dishes here which are Greek influenced and some with Turkish influences. Pork or chicken are the meats most dishes are based around.
Getting a Meze for one is very unusual. We have had a few in our times in Cyprus and always ended up with doggy bags etc Stifado and Kleftiko are my favourites but, as you found out, it is all very tasty. The key is not to have too much pitta bread with dips (more pitta bread equals more doggy bags at the end). You should try a pint of draught Keo before you leave!
Loved the Greek food vlog tonight. Lee looks like you really enjoyed that, mate. The beef, one of my favourites, also the meatballs I love as well. Well done for giving it a try. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep up the good work, mate 👍👌
The ATM which is behind you Lee stands for (automatic teller machine). The first one in Britain was in London (Enfield) in 1967. Opened by reg varney from the ATV sit com on the buses.😂🇬🇧🏴
10/10 for food and price. 8/10 for the scrounging cat. 5/10 for the scrounging cat phoning his mate up to get some free scran. 10/10 for the vid and the cool people in it. Cheers Lee, from a dismal South Wales. A bit of sunshine is well needed.
Takes me back mate to my days in the Army. When stationed in Cyprus towards the end of the month (payday) ee would club together enough for a Mezze for two & easily feed 6 of us. Some Tavernas had Mezze deals with endless wine while eating. KEO Saint Panteleimon used to be the wine to drink, locally produced in Cyprus.
That place is amazing and Im going there next time. The staff seem like lovely people and I found nearly everyone in Cyprus to be the same. Nice video, cheering me up under the miserable grey skies of England.
This brings back memories of our first visit to Cyprus about 38 years ago with our son and his girlfriend. He was only about 16 at the time and was trying to impress. He ordered a meze which I recollect was mainly vegetables. The staff kept coming in with another plate of food. We were convinced they were going out into the back and cutting weeds from the garden. It has been a standing joke in the family ever since!
An excellent choice of food Lee. Never tried Mousakka in Greece but it was an old favourite of my dad's to cook and I enjoyed it. Meatballs however, I tried them while out in Greece and they were the nicest, richest meatballs I'd ever had 👌
Good to see you eat, and more importantly enjoy local food. Many excellent value restaurants in Paphos, but I will take a camera next time to get extra, that looked too good to be true ..
Hi Lee, it's MG Pete, well done on finding TJ chippy. Not so sure about the Cypriot place, looked ok but it is in the touristy area and can be hit & miss. For a bit of variety try a Zorbas bakery, Cypriot version of Greggs, highly recommend their Koubes they look like a cigar stuffed with minced lamb. Keep up the good work you are making me homesick
I lived out in Cyprus when my dad was based out there in the military. Once a week we used to go out and try the local restaurants was the only time I used to eat All of my dinner Cypriot food is just outstanding.
I'd ask for Kleftiko or Stifado. But they gave you a sample of everything and it looked nicely cooked and very well presented, and at a good price. It needs some nice wine though!
Hey Hun OMG that food looks fantastic and the meat is so tender . everything on the table . that was fantastic . the price was good 19 euros . I enjoy that see you soon . my score is a 10 plus for all the food . and for the Staff which were very helpful xx❤
Well I remember years ago I knew this greek kid at school who's dad had a cafe......it was all English fry up's like chip's and so on, but he took me there and I got a free meal at lunch time lol.
We had a meze for our first meal in Paphos in 15, was amazing, also loved the stifado. Gree drinks ouzo, keo beer, aphrodite wine. The cypriots and greeks are lovely people, we have a go to greek restaurant in glasgow
I am glad you ordered the collection of small local dishes. The menu was a trap. It included many standard European and UK items, including >- - - ^- - - -> Fish and Chips. I know, you wanted a backup just in case. : -)
10/10 i will definatley visit this place and the chippy when i go to paphos in september , those meats looked amazing , im not a salad guy but i will try it all in that meze dish...all that for 19 euros. its a bargain. and if i get a stray cat (apparently the island is full of them) i will happily share some meats with them....noble creatures that they are :) great video as always lee. i have enjoyed all your cyprus videos sofar , im currently working my way through your australia vids too.
As squaddies in Cyprus we decided to have a fish mezzie in Pahphos. Oh my god, every time we finished a dish, another would roll out! We just wanted to hit the town!
Thanks for the video, excellent value but far to much for one person enough for 2,/3 did you have a carry out to eat the next day, but your hotel room wouldnt have a microwave i expect. Thanks for sharing 😊
Lee did you know the man who Invented the cats eyes got inspired by one walking towards him if it was walking away it would have Been a pencil sharpener 😂😂

Afelia (the pork dish) is absolutely one of my favourite dishes.

Cyprus coffee..... If you find it bitter, ask for medro. It has a little sugar in it.

Another nice video. Great to see you go for authentic meze. Its always going to be a winner in my eyes!
This is the best honest review and channel by far on TH-cam 👍🏻
That woman walking past at the start looked evil. 🤣
She was the cook.
The food looked lovely, enjoy your holiday/work.
Looked fantastic and a lovely change from fish and chips!
Hiya Lee. Now that’s a proper meze. There did seem a lot for one person as meze is for two people.
The food looked absolutely fantastic.
Another great vlog Lee.
Yes, I'd definitely mix it up now and again, and go "native". It's a nice touch to have the staff explain popular national dishes.

Nice touch that Lee,giving the cat some of your food ❤
Well done for trying all those dishes Lee. My mouth was watering at the sight. It's great to try new things rather than stick to what we know and love. 👍
Proud of you Lee, that you actually tried something different and more importantly local style food. It did look amazing BTW
Thanks Lee, fortunately I will be visiting Paphos early April. And will be visiting here, as well as the fish and chip place you tried earlier.
Me and my partner going then aswell might try it
Glad you enjoyed it. We visited several times during our stay, always excellent food and loads of it. It will be our go to place when we revisit
That looked amazing Lee. I'd give it a 10 as well. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
That food looks delicious 😋 🤤. That’s why the cat was hanging around, the cat knows the best restaurant in town & free food leaving the customer (Lee) to foot the bill.😻😺
sounds like a Cheese shop, "shut that bloody bouzouki player up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What an enormous amount of food! I love Greek food and have had holidays there quite a lot. I also lived in Cyprus as a kid and I remember that the people are lovely!
Keep going Lee, love what you do 👍
what a quality place with a top owner and staff. There not charging enough
As I'm a R.A.F brat I lived In Cyprus for three years.
Well done in this vlog. I am a fussy eater but Cypriot food meat or sea is fresh and tasty .
With the meze you get a taste of everything and then you know what to home in on next time.
Take the Mrs next time and try a mixed meze. Good on you for changing it up.
Kudos to the owner for keeping in business so long. Great recommendation the meze also.
Well done Lee glad you tried the food it's a thumbs up from me
I need to be in Cyprus to get some of that grub. What a great meal. Wow wow wow.
Lee, made up you decided for the meze, it was one of my most memorable meals ever when i visited Cyprus many years ago. cheers, thanks.
Outstanding value.
10/10 from me all day long!
That man Sold Cyprus to me. LOL. Bless him.
The food looked tasty.
Splitting the bill lol.
Happy Wednesday
1980, that was a good year. I remember that well lol.😂🇬🇧
That looked amazing....and great value! Enough there to feed an army.... you can keep the coffee though lol.
Hooray! You finally had some local food. I live in Romania and there are some dishes here which are Greek influenced and some with Turkish influences. Pork or chicken are the meats most dishes are based around.
Great video Lee, they put on a really good spread for you

Another fantastic video Lee. I will give you 10 out of 10 for it. Lol. The beef did look delish. Looking forward to the next upload my friend.
24:05: The cost was amazing for so much food. There's enough there for a partner plus child. And with all the salad items it's a healthy meal overall.
Well done Lee for trying something different food looked very nice
That looked absolutely delicious, hungry now. Can't believe how much food there was for that price. Loved the cat too, glad you shared.
If Phivos is watching, 100%! Your restaurant serves fantastic food at a very competitive price.
The ATM which is
behind you Lee
stands for (automatic teller machine). The first one in Britain was in London (Enfield) in 1967. Opened by reg varney from the ATV sit com
on the buses.😂🇬🇧🏴
It was 😉👍🏼
Looked good great to see you trying something different. 👍
Lee
Give the Cat something, the cute kitten is obviously hungry.
Edit: Ohhh you did feed the cat. That's nice of you.
Cats (and dogs) are always hungry for morsels. They never refuse.
I remembered when I was in Coral bay, North of Paphos, I used to have Swordfish. It was my favourite. Might be worth a try.
Greek food is delicious! And the Cyprus potato’s roasted are the best, Greek coffee is strong, I would be surprised if you didn’t sleep for a week!
Very nice friendly and generous people. We know your a Fish & Chips connoisseur pal 👍 but well done for trying Cypriot local food 👍 very nice people
Also, looking forward to the Limassol episode we didn’t live too far away in a place called Episkopi Should be interested to see if it’s changed
Doggy bag... christ lad you'll need a dinosaur bag 😂😂😂
I was hoping it tasted as good as it looked yum. That was a bucketload of food for such a cheap price
10/10 for food and price. 8/10 for the scrounging cat. 5/10 for the scrounging cat phoning his mate up to get some free scran.
10/10 for the vid and the cool people in it.
Cheers Lee, from a dismal South Wales. A bit of sunshine is well needed.
Well done, great again.👍
That food looked great. Yes keep trying new stuff. 😊
Takes me back mate to my days in the Army. When stationed in Cyprus towards the end of the month (payday) ee would club together enough for a Mezze for two & easily feed 6 of us. Some Tavernas had Mezze deals with endless wine while eating. KEO Saint Panteleimon used to be the wine to drink, locally produced in Cyprus.
When u taste

23:58 I'm glad you gave that cat some food 😺
it’s pretty fat from all the left overs
That place is amazing and Im going there next time. The staff seem like lovely people and I found nearly everyone in Cyprus to be the same. Nice video, cheering me up under the miserable grey skies of England.
We love a meze, look amazing but seem to be served a little quickly, usually it takes all night ❤
Loved it enjoy.
Look forward to more of your videos take and enjoy your your holiday.
Only half the job - the fish mezes are amazing as well !
Good to show viewers local .Keeps it interesting. If I never go to Cyprus, at least I can watch the vlog lol
This brings back memories of our first visit to Cyprus about 38 years ago with our son and his girlfriend. He was only about 16 at the time and was trying to impress.

Love Cyprus and Greece 🇬🇷 💙
Now this is more like it , Yamos !!
An excellent choice of food Lee. Never tried Mousakka in Greece but it was an old favourite of my dad's to cook and I enjoyed it.
Meatballs however, I tried them while out in Greece and they were the nicest, richest meatballs I'd ever had 👌
That food looked so good, looking forward to more like this
CASH! CASH! CASH!!!!!!!
Good to see you eat, and more importantly enjoy local food. Many excellent value restaurants in Paphos, but I will take a camera next time to get extra, that looked too good to be true ..
The food looks beautiful & the people serving you all so lovely
Food look gorgeous, cute cat too ❤
Hi Lee, it's MG Pete, well done on finding TJ chippy. Not so sure about the Cypriot place, looked ok but it is in the touristy area and can be hit & miss.
For a bit of variety try a Zorbas bakery, Cypriot version of Greggs, highly recommend their Koubes they look like a cigar stuffed with minced lamb.
Keep up the good work you are making me homesick
Same problem we had, food is awesome but trying to get their attention from the side was a problem, can't wait to get back there in August!!!!!
Love the meze's in Cyprus, nice bit of everything. Also lee if you got the time head up into the troodos mountains, the scenery is breathtaking.
Lovely food and lovely staff- hope it brings lots of business in for them😊
I lived out in Cyprus when my dad was based out there in the military. Once a week we used to go out and try the local restaurants was the only time I used to eat All of my dinner Cypriot food is just outstanding.
Amazing meal glad you enjoyed a change from fish and chips I'm a big fan of greek food enjoy cyprus😂
I'd ask for Kleftiko or Stifado. But they gave you a sample of everything and it looked nicely cooked and very well presented, and at a good price. It needs some nice wine though!

I am glad you ordered the collection of small local dishes. The menu was a trap. It included many standard European and UK items, including >- - - ^- - - -> Fish and Chips. I know, you wanted a backup just in case. : -)
You need to try some of the local Calamari. Hopefully it isn't like rubber bands. LOL
10/10
i will definatley visit this place and the chippy when i go to paphos in september , those meats looked amazing , im not a salad guy but i will try it all in that meze dish...all that for 19 euros.

As squaddies in Cyprus we decided to have a fish mezzie in Pahphos. Oh my god, every time we finished a dish, another would roll out! We just wanted to hit the town!
Cyprus potatoes are lush, here in Northern Ireland we have Comber potatoes and you couldn't tell the difference (similar soil).
A great selection of food, looks tasty
Eat local and your surprised how good it was. Looked great and well priced. Much nicer than the tapas you had in Spain. 10/10 for me as well.
You're supposed to eat a Meze as they bring it not wait until it all comes out and wade through it.
They brought it all at once.
👀 Wow! Love food from Greece/Cyprus. 12 out of 10 here 😋🤤 Always eat local food on holidays, loves to try new dishes 👌👍 Nice video again!
So much for several small portions , they definitely saw a good opportunity to advertise their food ( and who can blame them)😂
Wow Lee did you eat all that ? Good job rhe cat came along lent a helping paw 10 out of 10 for that feast
Great to see you eating local food lee!!!! And super value for money

Cypriot maze is an absolute classic - cannot go wrong.
Enjoyed todays Vlog Lee, im getting the impression that you enjoyed trying different foods , but you wouldn't be rushing back. 😊
Lee did you know the man who Invented the cats eyes got inspired by one walking towards him if it was walking away it would have Been a pencil sharpener 😂😂
The women at start of video😂. You might want to watch your back Lee. Lol
Go on The Macmaster........ 🙈🙉🙊❤ Hope to music gets faster 😂. He looks tiny next to you Lee. Bless.
