Probably to save any confusion between the culture of North and South Cyprus, the Akropolis plants is origins clearly in its name. If you were expecting Greek food, this is slightly off target, but if you want Cypriot Taverna, this is the place.
The menu is very standard. What picks this place out is the balladeer that is there nightly. On a wet Monday night in July, the place was very busy. We had wanted to try the place for many years, but were rarely there at night time, but today was our chance.
We somewhat boringly chose the Meze. This was exactly what you would expect. There was a series of cold dishes and dips followed by meat fish and sausage. There are absolutely no surprises.
The brownish balls on the left are scampi
Haloumi, ham and spicy sausages
kleftico and stifado
All the hot food was hot, scoring 8 or more on the scale. The quality and the taste were excellent. My only criticism was that the meal was somewhat thrown at us to their timetable. There was a big party in that night which may have consumed most of their interest, but on a wet Monday, were were not going anywhere, so it was a pity that they could not have made the meal a bit more leisurely. Entirely competent, and hot, but not exciting enough to make us regular customers. Better places nearer home. Meze cost £19.95 per person min two persons.
