It's a Cultural Thing!

Beyond the typical BBQ party, The Souvla Experience is a cultural thing! In order to understand the cultural phenomenon of Souvla, you can’t really go to a restaurant, and you cannot go to a commercial establishment. You must go to a masterclass taught by people who understand the cultural significance of the Souvla and can replicate the experience to the highest degree with quality instruction, friendship, and love of craft.

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:

  • Fresh Salad and Spreads (Tahini, Tzatziki etc)
  • Grilled Haloumi
  • Sweetbreads and Lemon
  • Loukaniko: Wine Sausage
  • Souvla – Authentic Cypriot Spit Roast
  • Desert

** Being unable to accommodate most allergies or dietary preferences. Please reach out with specific directions. 

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.

All woodfired live cooking workshops include everything you need for an unforgettable day. Once you reserve your spot, there are no hidden costs to throw you off your game. However, be aware of the following exciting options that may come with additional charges:

Beverages: 

Our curated wine selection is intended to perfectly enhance your meal. For those seeking alternative drinks or premium choices, feel free to reach out for a personalized beverage list that will elevate your experience.

Menu Customization:

Each menu is thoughtfully crafted for your enjoyment. If you have specific dietary needs or wish to tailor the menu, please share your preferences in advance so we can create a memorable experience just for you.

💯 Upgrades:

Elevate your culinary adventure with exciting upgrades during checkout:

  • Premium Pour – Wine Upgrade (EUR 25): Enhance your wine journey with premium pours, where each “Premium Pour” takes your wine experience to new heights.
  • The “Sparkling Start” (EUR 40): Begin your celebration on a high note with an extra bottle of sparkling wine to toast to great memories.

At Souvla, we celebrate the fantastic quality and variety of ingredients, along with the wonderful people who bring them to life!

I absolutely enjoy cooking over open flames in a cozy wood-burning hearth, embracing our region’s food culture while also experimenting with fresh ideas. The ambiance here is genuine, giving you a glimpse into local life.

Getting to the tasting room is part of the fun, with winding roads and breathtaking views all along the way.

Pambos was amazing with everything from the moment I booked. He kept me updated with the weather in Cyprus and sent pictures of his humble abode; which btw has an amazing view. Pambos is very knowledgable with the wines and also hosts actual wine tours and can provide you with info on how to book one. He was very friendly and respectful and funny and he made us lovely food and finished with cocktails at the end. All my girls loved the experience and we will most definitely go back to him again if we ever go back 🙂

We went here while traveling to a destination wedding. Met Pambos at his countryside house, Pambos is a great host and an amazing storyteller. We went on a short trip of the surroundings and heard stories. The guided wine tasting was great and very informative, and the quest along the tasts and smells was a great experience. I will come here again with more friends in the future, and recommend it to everyone else.

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 loved this experience ! The location was magical! Pambos did a wonderful job explaining wines of the region and choosing wines for us to taste and compare. We could have stayed all afternoon! So relaxing and wonderful company - and, of course great wines. We really appreciated that pambos picked us up where the bus left us off from Paphos. Taking the bus there and a taxi back was perfect.
