Halloumi: Known as the “cheese of Cyprus,” Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese made from goat’s and sheep’s milk. Its high melting point makes it perfect for grilling, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, gooey interior. At Tochni Tavern, we serve Halloumi grilled to perfection, often paired with fresh vegetables or as part of our mixed meze platter.

Souvlaki: This popular dish consists of skewered and grilled meat, typically pork, chicken, or lamb. Souvlaki is marinated in a blend of herbs and spices, giving it a distinctive flavor. Our chefs at Tochni Tavern take pride in preparing Souvlaki using traditional methods, ensuring a taste that is both authentic and unforgettable.

Moussaka: A hearty casserole made with layers of eggplant, minced meat, and béchamel sauce, Moussaka is a comfort food staple in Cyprus Cuisine. At Tochni Tavern, we prepare Moussaka with the freshest ingredients, following a traditional recipe that has been passed down through generations.

Kleftiko: Kleftiko is a traditional Greek Cypriot dish of lamb marinated with garlic, lemon, and oregano, then slow-cooked in a sealed clay oven or wrapped in parchment paper. This cooking method ensures the meat is tender, juicy, and infused with the aromatic flavours of the marinade. It’s often served with potatoes and vegetables, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.

Meze: A quintessential part of Cypriot dining, meze is a selection of small dishes served as a single meal or as appetizers. Meze can include a variety of items such as tzatziki (yogurt with cucumber and garlic), tahini (sesame seed paste), hummus, olives, grilled vegetables, seafood, and grilled meats. It’s a social dining experience meant to be shared with friends and family.
