To Elliniko restaurant in Engomi presents new chargrilling technique

When it comes to Greek cuisine, it doesn’t get much better than To Elliniko Restaurant in Engomi, Nicosia. Offering a convivial setting that fully embraces the meze-sharing philosophy, the restaurant recently upped the ante by introducing a new chargrilling technique, promising to offer guests the chance to experience dishes from every corner of Greece.

The new menu features many exciting additions, with the transition from standard grilling to chargrilling enhancing the taste and aroma of each dish.

As well as being popular among locals, the restaurant is also a hotspot for business lunches and other corporate events.

And CBN recently had the chance to sample the new menu and take in the new setting.

Upon entering, guests are met with an impressive meat display now located at the restaurant’s entrance, where they choose their preferred cut of meat.

The new menu includes additions such as traditional bougiourdi, grilled vegetables, pork chops, beef liver, sheftalies, village sausages, cured village pastourma, and honey-glazed fillets—all now exclusively grilled over charcoal.

We enjoyed a delicious Cretan Dagos salad, which is made with with barley rusk, tomatoes, feta, olives and olive oil, along with freshly baked bread.

Every selection carries the signature quality that To Elliniko in Engomi has offered for years, taking each visitor on a unique journey through the traditional tastes and aromas of Greece.

The Seafood Kritharoto - orzo with octopus, calamari, shrimps and mussels - is also highly recommended, though to be fair, it's hard to choose from the rich menu with so many staple Greek foods. To name but a few, the hot appetiser Pastourmali, a pastry filled with smoked cheese, sundried tomato and Armenian pastourma, Tigania Agiorgitiki, with pork, chicken and sausage in mustard sauce; and Cheese Bouyourdi, which is an οven baked variety of Greek cheeses, tomato and spicy peppers.

And all this can be washed down with a selection of fine wines or ouzo. Well worth a visit!
