Syrian Arab Friendship Club

Levantine meze

A Nicosia institution for decades, beloved for generous Levantine meze served in a leafy garden that fills with big family tables at weekends. The menu barely changes and that is exactly the point — locals come back for the same hummus, falafel and grilled meats year after year.

Why Syrian Arab Friendship Club makes the list

A Nicosia institution for decades, beloved for generous Levantine meze served in a leafy garden that fills with big family tables at weekends. The menu barely changes and that is exactly the point — locals come back for the same hummus, falafel and grilled meats year after year. That reputation is why Syrian Arab Friendship Club earned its place among our curated picks for Nicosia.

With 4.6 stars from 1,025 Google reviews (checked September 2026), it is one of the better-rated places in Nicosia on Google.

What to order & what to expect

The thing to order: levantine meze spread. A step up in polish from the taverna scene while keeping the island’s produce-first cooking — expect fresh fish, grilled meats and Mediterranean plates done properly.

Where it is & when to go

Syrian Arab Friendship Club is in Ayios Dometios, Nicosia. Nicosia’s old city, ringed by its Venetian star-shaped walls, is where the capital eats and drinks — Ledra and Onasagorou streets and the lanes off them, a world away from the business districts outside the walls. Dinner from 7.30–8pm is the sweet spot; in July and August a reservation saves you a wait almost anywhere with a terrace.
