I rarely eat at Cyma. But whenever I do, I order their Lamb Fricasee because I am sure that it will not disappoint nor will it be undercooked.
This dish in particular isn't greasy nor oily despite it being generous in sauce at times. Also, the Lamb Meat is fork tender and chewable.
Although the sofa on the side, near the kitchen counter (where the decorative bottles are) is messy because it was filled with some moomoo from the previous customers.
I always enjoy eating at Cyma! They have really excellent greek food which leaves you satisfied everytime you dine here.
Absolutely loved the experience at dining at Cyma at Shangrilla plaza. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. Slightly on the expensive side, but offers value for the buck! Only possible con I could think of was that the place was overcrowded and had to wait for sometime before being seated. (But was absolutely worth the wait).
Cyma is our go-to Greek resto, hands down!
Our usual order...
Tono Salata - "Nicoise" tuna salad. The tuna is fresh and just seared so it's still raw in the middle. Then you have the lettuce, feta cheese, eggs, potatoes, beans, onions etc that make this salad our favorite!
I love the Souvlakis!
We usually get the fish (really fresh), lamb, beef and chicken. Serving size is a lot better than other restaurants.
Get a pasta!
We usually get the Angel Hair with Clams and the Osso Bucco pasta.
Firat time trying greek food and first time eating here. And i was not disappointed. I enjoyed it. The customer service is also amazing despite the number of customers they were serving. The serving of food is great and tastes amazing.
Great place for healthy vegetarian-friendly meals. We loved the sun-dried tomatoes and walnuts in our salad, but we noticed they put less walnuts than before. It was our first time to try the vegetable youvetsi and it did not disappoint. Each spoonful had generous servings of Mediterranean vegetables. It took a while to be served though so better order one of the many appetizer offerings they have on the menu. Our server, John, was patient and attentive and took time to explain the dishes as my tita tried to remember the name of the appetizer she had ordered before — it was the tzatziki!
Good food. Fast service... price is right for the serving, service and ambiance... the staff are very accomodating.
Loved their lamb and salad.
Definitely will be coming back.
Cyma is one of my go to restaurants for delicious and healthy food. The roka salata is usually my staple, with the delightful mix of lettuce, arugula, candied walnuts and dried tomatoes. Tip: always opt for grilled octopus as a topping. Even with a single sized serving, it's good for two people if you order a second dish.
The angel hair clam pasta is delicious as well. I liked the fresh taste of the clams combined with butter and lemon. The sauce is a bit thin so make sure to pour it evenly on the noodles to ensure maximum taste delivery. The serving of clams was generous so it's value for money. However, one thing lacking was herbs to enhance the flavor more.
The feta cheese was served with two slices of sourdough bread. The bread wasn't enough, so we used the feta as topping for the pasta. Heavenly taste without the guilt. Will definitely be back for more.
Service was okay, especially the manager who was very attentive to our needs. May take time to be served especially if the place is full.
King Crab Legs pasta was divine. Kalamarakia was amazing. The House Salad was surprisingly good even with the walnuts. The Seafood Makatonada and the Seafood Yiouvetsi were tasty. The serving portions were huge and were good value for money.
However, service needs improvement. We had to ask several times before we were approached.
Woah... it was quite an experience. Don't get me wrong, it's just food. However, it was some next-lvl sht.
I've had Say-Goodbye-to-Shawarma aka Lamb Gyro (₱410). It's freaking expensive but totally worth it. The meat is nice and tender (but not too tender), the bread is filled with green healthy yumminess. The bread itself is soft and thick, holding everything together and never letting it go. The gyro comes with fries. I mean, a *lot* of fries. Not overcooked, not soggy, just a nice healthy fat pack o'fries. A wonderful addition to this spicy sauce that they serve you. Don't be fooled by the amount of the sauce. It's just about right because it's so spicy.
I've also had Watermelon with Feta cheese. I'd honestly rename this meal to Watermelon with Pine nuts because there was barely any cheese but a lot of nuts. That's an interesting combination, though, and the price tag is justifiable because those pine nuts are damn expensive. Overall, it's a perfect appetiser. I munched and didn't notice how it ran out. Yes, it was that fast.
To complete the perfection there was that final touch to my belly: the melon shake. Nice, ripe and fresh. Just perfect. Oh, and the water they serve, it's mineral water, not tap piss that 90% of places serve as house water.
I rolled over my buns to the exit very slowly because I was stuffed like a baboy. Looking forward to eating there again!
