Nicosia 250 Glenferrie Road, Malvern, Victoria 3144

"Great food. Good options on the menu. The place was busy even on a weekday night. They have an outdoor area at the back. We enjoyed the pita and turkish breads with dips, and had the meat platter for a shared main. Finally, kanefe was the dessert - and we loved it."

"Great food and great price. I wasn’t expecting much for 25 dollars for a plate but this have exceeded my expectations."

"I had a craving for iskender and Nicosia was the closest place I could find that offered the dish. I found it lacking in sauce and had there been more sauce the dryness of the meat would have been less apparent. If I ordered it again I would definitely ask for double sauce Update Takeaway from Nicosia today and one seriously large meat tub that literally could have fed an army. The dips weren’t my favourite but the traditional Turkish pides were a hit and I was a big fan of the chicken doner (lamb was a bit on the dry side). Original review Nice atmosphere but quite chilly inside. I was loving the decor with traditional little touches and beautiful framed photos of the namesake town. It made me want to jump right on a plane straight into European summer. This desire was probably exacerbated by the unpleasant temperature in the restaurant. For some reason I'm finding that a lot this winter. Has the cost of gas gone up or something? Didn't seem to be bothering the other patrons as we were a full house albeit in a relatively small setting. Continuing to embrace the friends with salad lifestyle I chose a grilled prawn salad and requested no onion. The salad was generous but unfortunately so was the infestation of onions. The prawns had a sensational char on them though and really delicious flavour. I was pretty delighted with my main although the dips were a little lacklustre and could have done with a bit more seasoning (carrot) and perhaps some garlic (babaganush). We also had the iskender (meat covered in yoghurt and crushed tomato), lamb kebab, lamb kofte and a dinner plate (chicken and lamb with salad and dip) on the table. All presented quite well although opinions were mixed. I certainly enjoyed what I ate, it was very sizeable for a salad and my interest was piqued by an apple baklava. One to keep in mind on a non dieting return trip"

"Had dinner here and ordered the Cypriot Feast. Food was amazing! The only “problem” we had was that the portions were way too big and we had to take home a lot of the food. Nicosia is usually very busy so make sure you call them and make a booking in advance."
