İkimiz

Top choice in Kyrenia (Girne)


The mother-and-daughter duo behind this cute-as-a-button restaurant dish up Cypriot soul food. The small menu (which changes regularly) features hearty and wholesome specialities such as molohiya (a viscid stew made from jute leaves) and pirohu (Cypriot ravioli), as well as fall-off-the-bone lamb.

To find İkimiz, walk up Ecevit Caddesi from Belediye Meydanı, turn left onto Bozkırlı Sokak and then right onto Şair Nedim Sokak. Walk up this street and take the second left-hand turn.
