Chicken salad with avocado, egg, tomatoes, bacon and blue cheese.

At Home Cafe in Polis Chrysochous, lunch can be meatballs with a side, a bowl with quinoa and vegetables, or dumplings with Greek yogurt. These sit in separate menu sections, so start with the kind of dish you feel like eating.

Hot mains and soup

The lunch section has pork and beef meatballs in tomato sauce, a chopped chicken cutlet and borscht. For a main with a side, add mashed potatoes or buckwheat. Both sides come with butter and are priced separately.

Borscht comes with sour cream, herbs and bread. If you are after another soup, ask about the soup of the day.

Salads and bowls

The tuna bowl has quinoa, boiled egg, greens and vegetables. The green bowl combines quinoa and chickpeas with avocado, vegetables and a nutty dressing.

For a different base, there are zucchini-pancake bowls with chicken or salted salmon, both with feta. The salad guide also covers house, caprese and beetroot salads.

Pelmeni and vareniki

Pelmeni have pork, chicken, or pork-and-beef fillings and come with Greek yogurt. Vareniki have potato, sweet cheese, spinach with salted cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, or cherry filling. You can compare them in the pelmeni and vareniki section.

If several people are ordering, each can choose from a different section. Write down the full dish names and any sides, then arrange the order with the cafe.

Home Cafe is at Akamas Gate, Vasileos Filippou A20, shop 5, Polis Chrysochous. The homepage contact section has directions and the phone number. For a lunch break with a fixed end time, agree preparation or collection timing when you call.
