Paphos venue embraces post-lockdown with music

Martika’s Kitchen in Tala is marking the end of the lockdown with a series of live music events this summer. Ten music acts have already been booked, starting on June 12 with the soulful jazz voice of Carmen Ghian.

Martika’s Kitchen is the revamped Square Bar & Bistro in Tala village square, Paphos. Under the management of a young couple from Lincolnshire, UK, Martika and Graham Harman, the venue will offer international cuisine that promises to appeal to all fine diners.

The venue is keen to arrange live events as soon as possible to lift the uncertainty and gloom of the past few months.

“Bringing live music to the new restaurant brings a buzz to the square in Tala, as well as enjoyment for the customers and staff. It’s a super opportunity to share great experiences with so many people, locals and from further afield. This will create a new hub for not only live entertainment but some of the best views in Tala whilst enjoying the selection of international cuisine on offer,” the couple said.

Graham and Martika have taken on this restaurant with the aim of providing a high-quality dining experience in a friendly environment. The restaurant is open for lunch and evening meals offering international cuisine, Sunday roasts, coffee and cake afternoons, fish and chips takeaway and live music nights normally twice each month.
