Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In the heart of paralimni and on a nice corner in the old part of the town gives this restaurant an appealing and welcoming look. We ordered a fish platter for two and what was served was not what was described on the menu. We...expected local fish and a mixture. We were served grilled king prawns…obviously bought from the local supermarket, some mussels that tasted almost off and to mask the dated shellfish the sauce was awful that was put over them. The rest was some small pieces of fish with batter and deep fried. The salad was far from being a Greek salad and the bread was stale. The lady who served us was very welcoming and nice, her husband was very miserable and we felt uncomfortable to ask for anything. All in all not a restaurant to take friends or family to. Food was below standard to say the least.More

Once again Maria pulled out all the stops to make our last family meal in Cyprus perfect. The food was delicious and my daughter said her Sword fish was the best meal of the holiday.. The service as usual was amazing. Thank you

Food was excellent, served well and plenty of it,lovely atmosphere, we had salmon and salad it was beautifulMore

If you are in Paralimni and wish to go back in time from a Tavern point of view then Kanati may well satisfy. Lovely old place decked out in the traditional Blue n White. The owners are always on site and Maria is Mine Host...at the front of house. Good size Menu at a reasonable price and a few things you don’t find on many other menus. We all enjoyed our food choices - Chefs Chicken, Lamb Tavas, Kleftico and Chicken Kebab with Chips & Cucumber for the Grand-Daughter. All freshly prepared and mouth-wateringly tasty. Lovely last evening with our holidaying girls.More

Went to Paralimni on the bus and clearly went down the wrong street looking for somewhere else when we came across Kanati, the oldest taverna in town, on the corner of a busy street but it was like stepping back in time, so quaint and...old,fashioned. We were served quickly by a lovely Cypriot lady who spoke great English, helpful and advised on what was not available. Cypriots visited again always a bonus if they eat there. Cheap prices and great food what more could,you want in the middle of the town definitely,worth s visit but don't expect five star Lovely little find.More

We were staying in near by Protaras and travelled into Paralimni to get away from the over priced touristy restaurants! This restaurant did not disappoint! We had a meat meze and it was beautiful! The meat was cooked fresh and was ooozing with flavour! The...owner chatted with us for ages; a lovely authentic experience! HIGHLY recommend for a Greek Cypriot meal!More
