Nazende Ocakbaşi & Restaurant is an oasis in the middle of heart beating Kyrenia and is for the ones who would live to experience an authentic Cypriot night.

The Turkish and Cypriot breakfast is known to serve a lot of delicious appetisers, so called mezes. Everything on the menu can be ordered at any time of the day.

Every night, except Mondays, Nazende offers live music Á La Turka-style where musicians go from table to table singing for each and one of the customers. It’s basically a Meyhane restaurant but unlike normal Meyhanes we also have an a la carte menu and people can order what ever they like and we will cook it for them

Even though the restaurant is located amongst high buildings in Kyrenia Centre the restaurant has a huge garden where you can dine and enjoy tasty food with live music until late hours. The meat is cooked in front of you and according to Talat his restaurant is great for meat lovers.

Then again the restaurant fits 300 people without feeling crowded and we strongly recommend a visit. A big area around the back provides comfortable parking just metres away.
