Just got back from an amazing day with Pambos, picking ingredients, preparing, and cooking traditional sheftalias, tzatziki, tahini, salads etc. whilst learning about the wonderful history and culture of Cyprus and sampling some of the local wines too. We had a great day which was fantastic value. Pambos is a great host and we thoroughly recommend this experience.

Such an amazing experience! We drove to the charming town of Episkopi which is not too far off from the coast. Pambos was generous enough to host us even though we did not make a reservation (Sorry again!). While enjoying great local wines we learned so much about the Cypriot wine industry and fascinating history. I highly recommend a visit when in Cyprus!

We were a group of 4. This was a gift for my husband's 60th birthday. What can I say!!!! We had the most excellent evening with Pambos. He was very engaging with lots of information, stories and an incredible sense of humour. We went to pick our veggies for the salad in a field close by. Amazing orange and lemon trees and we were able to help ourselves. The oranges were incredible. We also picked the largest cauliflower I have ever seen. We then set about making our sheftalia and the salads and other things. We all pitched in together and with Pambos's help we made the most delicious meal. Wine was flowing and the meal was finished off with traditional halva which we had never tried before but I will be having it again. I would highly recommend this experience. There is no way anyone could not thoroughly enjoy it.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Sheftalia Cooking Class with Pambos and it was an unforgettable experience! The lovely hosts, Pambos greeted us with genuine warmth. Loved The rustic ambiance of the traditional Cypriot kitchen! Under Pambos's expert guidance, we dove into the heart of Cypriot cuisine and made Sheftalia. We minced pork, finely chopped onions, and blended aromatic herbs. Pambos shared stories of family traditions, local ingredients, and secret tips. We kneaded, shaped, and laughed until our creations were ready for the grill. We ate the sheftalia we cooked paired with local wines!

Wir haben das Sheftalia Grillen gleich an unserem ersten Tag gemacht. Es war ein wunderbarer Start in unseren Urlaub! Pambos Haus ist Mitten in wunderschönen Landschaft und Nahe einem kleinem sehenswerten Ort gelegen. Jetzt im Frühling blüht alles und im Zitrushain durch den wir zusammen spaziert sind, ist alles Reif. Orangen, Zitronen, Pomelo und alles mögliche dazwischen was ich nicht gekannt habe und wir konnten alles kosten. Beim Grillen konnten wir immer wieder unterschiedliche Sachen und frisch gepressten Zitrus Saft und Wein kosten. Es war lustig zusammen zu kochen und dabei zu plaudern. Das Endergebnis war super gut! Am besten war es den gemütlichen Nachmittag mit Pambos zu verbringen, plaudern und viel über Zypern zu erfahren. Wirklich ein toller Nachmittag!

Highlight of our time in Cyprus. We had an amazing time with Pambos and our group. A really authentic experience and we enjoyed Pambos company very much, the time disappeared as we talked and ate lots and lots of Sheftalia. We would 100% recommend this experience during your time in Paphos.

The Souvla Experience

In our open kitchen, a wood-burning BBQ pit is the main attraction, showcasing the area’s culinary diversity while respecting traditional cooking methods. Our fully equipped kitchen supports easy preparation and thorough cleaning.

After all, a tasty Souvla needs a special place,
and what better venue is there?

Guests can enjoy our meze-style meals on the patio, seated at simple tables amid the beauty of nature. Here, attentive service enhances a dining experience that is both delicious and enchanting.

Cooked on Ember, dishes inspired by the best of local cuisine, with food I source  from the orchards or the finest farms and purveyors in the area. The souvla experience aims to take your taste buds on a sensory journey as you experience live cooking authentic dishes bursting with flavor.

Here’s a sample of what we usually cook:

During the experience, you will enjoy three bottles of wine selected to pair well with the season’s menu. My goal is to showcase the winemakers’ vision in your glass, making the experience enjoyable and informative.

I focus on boutique wineries, not mass-produced wines, allowing you to taste the finest wines Cyprus has to offer.

If you’d like to join a scheduled 1.5-hour guided wine tasting session with other guests, either before or after the live cooking, please book your Tasting experience in advance.
