Piatsa Gourounaki
Charcoal-grilled Cypriot meze that draws a crowd for good reason
Piatsa Gourounaki
A high-volume Cypriot grill in the heart of old Nicosia known for charcoal-grilled meats and mezze at very affordable prices.
Piatsa Gourounaki is one of the most talked-about grill houses in old Nicosia, built around traditional charcoal grilling of pork and other meats served mezze-style. It draws a loyal local and visitor following and is consistently described as busy, sometimes with a wait of around 30 minutes at peak times, which is generally taken as a sign of how highly regarded it is rather than a deterrent.
What stands out across reviews is the value: large, generous portions at prices well below what comparable grilled-meat spots charge elsewhere on the island, paired with attentive, friendly service. It is a good pick for travelers who want a proper sit-down Cypriot meze experience without a fine-dining bill.
