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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fantastic friendly restaurant. My husband and I ate here last week and it was a lovely experience, from the service to the great food. My husband had stifado and I had Cyprus meatballs (which I've unfortunately forgotten the proper Cypriot name for!) We had the...house wine which was good, and I had a yummy Irish coffee afterwards. Prices were very reasonable for really good authentic food, and we had a great eveningMore

I read the menu and decided to order a mixed grill. The portion was very big. I ate more than half of it. It was tasty.

We were in Protaras for two weeks and used this place three times. I had the stifado twice and my partner had their kleftiko all three times such was her liking for it. I also had a lovely piece of swordfish And their desserts include...pancakes and waffles filled with fruit, and covered in chocolate and ice cream. Not for the faint hearted. On our first visit there were eleven of us and a man I took to be a manager came to take our drinks order. He did half of our orders then went off to another table which was strange. His demeanour was a bit off. I was sceptical when it was suggested we go back again a few nights later but he must have been having a bad night because the following times we visited he was very different even buying us after dinner liquers. I am glad we gave them another chance P.S. Ask for a table by the pool. It's a lovely spot.More

I have been to Island Affair every time I have visited Protaras and saved visiting there this time to our last evening. We went knowing what to get (The Meze) and was very much looking forward to it remembering how much we loved the atmosphere...and the food. We arrived and were looking forward to getting stuck in.... Meze ordered (we did arrive later in the evening around 9pm) the waiter almost looked unhappy about what we was ordering but took the order and went. The feel of the restaurant just wasn't the same as it was before. As the food arrived it again was not to the standard I remembered. I'm fairly certain parts of the Meze were missed such as fish and calamari (I'm 1000% certain this was in before) The meat was fine but nothing to write home about and parts of the meal were cold and just quite bland. I was genuinely disappointed in the whole experience. It maybe that I have placed this restaurant on such a pedistool over the years but honestly just felt underwhelmed by the Meze itself didn't feel like good value for money and a portion of chips was presented with the meat which I have no idea why they were there and we're stone cold!! I think unfortunately this will be the last time we will visit which is such a shame as you can tell from my previous reviews I stated this is the best restaurant in protaras but I guess things change :(More

We tried Island Affair after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor. I had the beef stifado which was very nice, the meat was nice and tender. My husband had calamari and chips which were cooked very well, not chewy at all. Staff at Island Affair are...super welcoming and friendly. Would definitely returnMore

We ate here several times, food was excellent, we could not fault a thing. Staff were quick to serve and were attentive, until you had finished your meal. There was no rush to bring your bill and you were left to relax after eating. Excellent

Some of the best food we had in Protaras, Sea Bass fillets were cooked to perfection accompanied by well cooked vegetables and mashed potatoes, Moussaka was the best also. Highly recommended.

This little gem is one of many restaurants on this street, but its food unobtrusive yet diligent waiting staff set it above the rest. We has a Cypriot Meze and it was delicious from start to finish and we couldn't eat all of it ....There was dish after dish of meaty or cheesy goodness.
