Pappas Restaurant opened in 1987 and was the result of a family's passion for good food and wine, music and dancing. Here is it's story...

Christodoulos and Carol Papachristodoulou came over from Cyprus in the early 1960's in search of a better future. After working with the family in different catering establishments in Scarborough, Grimsby, Hudderfield, they finally settled in Nottingham with their four children; Maria, Andrew, Koulla and Niki. After years of experience in the catering business they decided in 1980 to open their own shop at Radcliffe Road, "Pappas Take-Away". With love, care and lots of hard work, the family made their little take-away a very successful business known for the high quality of food and friendly service.

In 1985 Maria met Christoforos and they soon got married. He was a talented young man from Cyprus with a love of music and dance, and lots of enthusiasm. He wanted to open a traditional Greek-Cypriot Restaurant, so in 1987 the business expanded. Chris and Maria created with meraki (love, care and concern) a warm, welcoming, taverna-style restaurant, offering high quality traditional Greek and Cypriot food and wines. Continuing the family's tradition in customer care and adding their spirits and eagerness, they have offered for over 20 years a unique combination of a cosy restaurant and a night spot with live entertainment (live bouzouki music, traditional dancing and special events);- the best atmosphere for a night to remember ... !!
