I enjoyed my meal today at Kanati Taverna. Try the aubergine rolls filled with a ricotta cream and/or the Spicy feta cheese with some bread as a starter. I can't describe it - it's just 'wow'. Very good and friendly service. A wonderful place to eat. Highly recommended!

Amazing little taverna, very friendly and food was out of this world. The 'king size pork chop' is highly recommended and the little parcels of mashed potatoes are divine
