My first experience with Cyprus was about 4 years ago. My husband was living in the neighborhood, but I was still in denial about moving to the Valley. It was like a little vacation to come to "the city" and stay in our Biltmore apartment. The novelty wore off quick once I moved here, but I still enjoy Cyprus. It makes a nice precursor to a movie at AMC. At Cyprus, my husband and I can both get get pitas, hummus, and drinks...or we can share the water fountain and 7 kernels of popcorn at the movies for the same price.
My favorite part about Cyprus is the pita bread. It's thick cushy pita, not the flavored cardboard pita they somehow manage to split open to make a pocket. I'm a little partial to the chicken souvlaki with it's tangy tzatziki sauce, crunchy cucumbers, fresh lettuce and tomato. The hummus is always tasty, although I seem to remember it being just a little better in the old days. Not sure if they changed the recipe, or its just me remembering it differently.
The only downside, the last two times I've been in we have been waited on by girls. What happened to the Greek Gods? Minus a star for that!
