Militzis Restaurant is a long‑loved, family‑run spot in Larnaca serving authentic Cypriot fare with a prime sea outlook. Guests praise its slow‑cooked oven kleftiko, roasted for many hours in the large, open-view oven until the lamb is incredibly tender. Portions are generous and flavors are deeply traditional, from comforting pilaf rice with vermicelli and a tangy house sour yogurt to simple, well-prepared sides.

The setting offers a lively indoor atmosphere and a breezy outdoor area facing the beach-ideal after a hot day. Sweet tooths are well looked after with standout orange pie and classic baklava. Service is noted as warm and efficient, and prices are considered very good value.

Open daily until late, it’s a popular choice with both locals and visitors; booking ahead is recommended, especially if you’re coming hungry for the signature kleftiko and a relaxed seaside meal.
