Souvlakia Mixalos

Souvlakia Mixalos is a casual souvlaki and street food restaurant at Ioanni Agroti 18 in Ktima, Paphos, Cyprus, serving quick and inexpensive grilled meat. The cuisine centres on souvlaki, the Cypriot version of the skewered grill, served in pitta bread with salad and sauce, a staple lunch for locals across the island. Signature dishes include the pitta souvlaki, the mix grill platter that combines several grilled meats, and tzatziki, the garlic and cucumber yoghurt dip that accompanies nearly every Cypriot grill. Cypriot souvlaki is typically made with pork or chicken cubes, often with sheftalia or halloumi as alternatives, and is cooked over charcoal and served hot. The dining room is basic, with a counter-service feel, no dress code, and a busy, lively noise level at lunchtime and late evening. It is among the cheapest meals in Paphos, at about EUR 8-14 (roughly USD 9-16) per person, which suits budget travellers, families with children and anyone wanting a quick bite between sights. Listed hours are Monday to Saturday from 12:00 to 23:00, and the restaurant is closed on Sunday, so it covers lunch, dinner and late evening hunger. Reservations are not normally needed because the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, although it can be reached by phone on +357 26 936457 for takeaway questions. Visitors choosing between the pitta wrap and the mix grill platter should note that the platter is more filling and is better for sharing, while the pitta is a convenient portable meal. The Ktima location puts it close to the market, the old town and the main shopping streets, making it a useful low-cost stop on a walking day. Drinks are typically soft drinks, water or beer, and meals are fast, with little waiting even at peak times.
