Our History & Our Peopl

The beginning in the square

In Apostolos Loukas Square, in the heart of Aradippou, our story begins in 2014. "Meraklis" was not created simply to offer food, but to revive authentic Cypriot hospitality. Born from a love for tradition and the gathering around a table that unites people, our tavern is now a reference point for those seeking genuine flavors and a warm atmosphere.

The soul of the kitchen and the grill

The heart of Meraklis beats to the rhythm of a family. At the grill is the father, the "craftsman," who, with his experience and art in grilling, gives the meze its unique character and consistent quality. Next to him, in the kitchen, Melina prepares daily with motherly care and passion the handmade appetizers that accompany every meal, offering flavors that remind you of grandmother's cooking.

The Next Generation & Philosophy

Tradition meets evolution in the person of their daughter, Andri. Literally raised inside the tavern, Andri is today the fresh breath of the business. With studies in Food Technology, she combines a love for hospitality with scientific knowledge, ensuring that the quality, hygiene, and safety of our ingredients always remain at the highest levels.

The philosophy of generosity

What ultimately makes us stand out is generosity. At Meraklis, we believe that no one should leave hungry or dissatisfied. The rich, free appetizers that are constantly replenished at your table are our way of saying "welcome." We are waiting for you to become a member of our big family of friends.
