1. Mr. Nikos, when was Kartanas Meze Tavern established?
Our restaurant has been operating since 1994. I opened Kartanas Meze Tavern when I was only 21 years old. From a young age, I grew up in the restaurant my father owned and after all the knowledge he gave me, I decided to open my own tavern.

2. Where can we find your tavern?
You can find Kartanas Meze Tavern in central Pernera in Protaras.

3. What can we try in your store?
At Kartanas Meze Tavern we serve traditional Cypriot and Greek food. You can try the saganaki slices, the moussaka, the kleftiko, the souvlaki, the sieftalies, the souvla, our stew and various others. And of course the rich meat meze and fish meze that we offer.

4. What makes Kartanas Meze Tavern stand out and different from other taverns?
The excellent quality of our food! We always want to serve delicious and home-made food. All our food is home-made, such as sieftalies, koupepia, moussaka. At the end we offer each customer free loukoumades and mastic liqueur.

Thank you very much, Mr. Nikos. We wish you all the best and we are sure that people will be very happy with the home cooked food and service you offer in your tavern.
