If you're looking for a quick satisfying meal that doesn't add extra calories or burn a hole in your pocket and even tastes great, then you're not just fantasizing; it's entirely possible at Daphne's Greek Cafe. This group of casual restaurants where fast food acquires a different meaning altogether have gained immense popularity in the sixteen years that they have been in business. Fast, efficient service and a relaxing atmosphere and their delicious food, combine to create a memorable dining experience.

For starters, try the avgolemono soup, with marinated chicken and rice, flavored with lemon and served with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread. There's a wide range of appetising pita sandwiches filled with crispy shrimp or fried calamari, while grilled chicken, kabobs and fresh carved gyros can make your day. Child friendly portions of chicken strips and sandwiches delight the little ones immensely.

In the busy Brand Boulevard, a light shaded Moorish building is home to the Carousel Restaurant, a well suited destination for Lebanese, Middle Eastern and Armenian cuisine in the area. The décor inside keeps up with the ethnic façade of the restaurant and the arched walls decked up with shields and weapons add to the colourful ambiance and the lively feel of the set up.

A variety of appetizers that include oven baked mini meat pies called mantè, pan fried quail sautéed in zest, and mousakka, baked eggplant with onions and tomatoes, pave the way for interesting mains. These include lamb kastaleta, seasoned and charbroiled lamb chops, or a chicken shawarma, flame broiled thinly sliced marinated chicken breasts served with either rice or hummus dip. In case a fruit platter or a tiramisu doesn't tempt you enough the classic dessert to close with is the Lebanese pastry called baklava.

Carousel Restaurant is not just known for its savoury food but also for its enjoyable live entertainment that takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings.
