best fish and chips in cyprus, the food was really good and the staff was very very friendly with a great atmosphere and their menu had a variety of things. fish and chips were delicious the fries or "chips" where crispy but soft on the inside was having an amazing flavor and the fish was cooked to perfection but my only complaint is that the food took somewhat of a long time to get to us. great food

Visited this restaurant the other evening with some friends. One of the group had been before and said it was worth a visit and she was correct. We all had very nice meals. Two people had fish, one of whom said it was the best fish he had had in a while, the other two had pie and chips. I was disappointed that there was no scampi but it would appear that there is an island wide shortage of scampi both in the restaurants and the shops. A bottle of wine was shared between two and the price for the wine was very reasonable especially as we were down the more tourist area. It was a very pleasant evening sitting on the terrace. No doubt we will be back and I would definitely recommend it.

Just stopped by this evening to pick up a takeaway fish, chips and mushy peas. The price was very reasonable and the food was delicious, good quality and not at all greasy. The lady who took the order and the gentleman serving were extremely pleasant. Although I took the order away, the restaurant looks very nice to sit and dine in. Really great meal, thank you.

I was in the area for 2 weeks and only tried this once. He cooked the fish so long it was ‘U shaped ‘ when he put it in the box . If hes in the fish and chip trade he must have known exactly that it was over cooked yet proceeded to warp it up. So dry i got one bite out of it before putting it in the bin. Chips are 5.50 too and they aren’t good - very dark and soggy must be the oil. Partner had sausage and chips again the sausage was so overcooked it was dry - not easy to achieve

Got a delivery for myself and my partner from happy friar. Chips were very small portions ( paid for large) and had clearly been fried twice or sitting around a long time. Very soggy and saturated with oil. Same price as ocean basket but nowhere near as fresh or nice.

Lots of hype about their exceptional fish & chips. Totally disappointed with their offerings. Quite average with a drab batter. Ocean Basket offers a crispier fish, and they’re a fast food chain. The mushy peas were quite good, bringing them up from a two to a three. In short, if you’re not staying at an adjacent hotel it’s definitely not worth the long drive.

I’ve never been to Yorkshire yet, though this time in Cyprus I ate the best Fish and Chips so far. Super tender fish and crispy chips with tasty vinegar make this place so exceptional. Chef Ian is a charming gentleman who is definitely in love with cooking and can tell you so many interesting insights about Yorkshire cuisine. This cozy resto located in between Grand Resort and St. Raphael and offers you not only fish and chips but also pies, burgers and other specialities. Today was my second lunch in a row there. And not the last one for sure. Come taste how fresh and tender cod could be.

Although we’ve been to Cyprus many times always stopping in the Limassol area we got to hear about a traditional British Fish & Chip Restaurant by the proprietor of our apartment. Well it made a bit of a change from our normal evening meal to be able to have Cod & Chips for our tea. I even had Mushy Peas, Bread & Butter along with a Pot of Tea all served in the traditional British way. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and we were served very efficiently.

Visited for 3 times, 2 times too much. Burger not eatable, service very irritating, no climate. There was some mixed music, quite old already and it was bad that was spoiling our meal - I asked the waitress to change it for some local music and the answer was: no because the owner doesn’t like. Other food so so and the french fries the worst in Cyprus until now. Don’t loose your time by visiting it. Don’t reccomend.

Called in for fish and chips this evening without high expectations, but must say these were some of the best fish and chips I’ve had outside of Yorkshire and certainly the best outside of the UK. Cooked perfectly and traditionally - the excellent food aside I was also met with excellent customer service and a really friendly atmosphere. Can’t recommend this place enough, if you’re feeling a little home sick - these fish and chips are the real deal !!

Extraordinary starters (halloumi chips, onion rings) Very delicious and juicy fish, very nice chips with mushy peas, curry, tartar sauce. The homemade burger is fantastic. Great desserts (sticky puddings, banana split) Wonderful service, good atmosphere, nice location! I highly recommend!

The staff were lovely. Have the halloumi chips for a starter or come back like we did and mix them with a greek salad and calamari. The fish and chips here would give Rick Stein in Padstow a run for his money. White flaky fish in a super crispy batter, chunky chips with proper homemade mushy peas. I have begged the recipe for the tartar sauce.

As usual, the service was friendly and the food was delicious! It’s the closest thing you can get to a real English chippie. I will be visiting again soon. Pro tip: mix the homemade tartare sauce with the mushy peas. You can thank me later :)

Walked down from hotel tonight, absolutely fantastic fish and chips and mushy peas. Had 3 children with me who have lived on nuggets and chips at the hotel. Tonight their plates were cleared. Children’s fish and chips nice big portions and the fussiness of my 3, not tonight their plates were cleared. One of mine wanted more fish, was eying up mine but got nowhere as it was beautiful fresh fish and lovely brown chips. My 3 kids wanna go back tomorrow night. Well done lovely filling meal 👌🏻

So glad to come back to the Happy Friar. The food is as amazing as ever, we love to try something different every night and are never disappointed. The staff are lovely & friendly & it’s great value. My personal favourites, Yorkshire fishcakes, halloumi fries, Greek salad. Yummy.
