Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Without a doubt the finest bar/restaurant in Pefkos. The very warmest of welcomes from Theo and his beautiful wife Extensive menu of first class food and drink at very reasonable prices. Lovely large pool area with lots of sunbeds or, if you prefer, shaded areas with comfortable seating to eat or just enjoy a drink or two. Cannot recommend too highly and we will most definitely be back next year (having visited Happy Friends every day of our two week holiday after calling in for a sumptuous breakfast on our first day.

We love this pool bar/restaurant, great food, well priced and great owners who look after everyone very well. The pool has a very relaxed atmosphere during the day and lunches are great too. My fave meal has to be the Greek Moussaka. You will not get a better one than here at Happy Friends. Cocktails are amazing too. We can’t wait to return later in the year and Happy Friends will be our first stop for sure!

Lovely casual restaurant with superb and attentive staff. We dined here twice during our two week stay in Pefkos and both meals were excellent & the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxed and charming. I had without doubt the best moussaka and best Stifado over the whole holiday whilst at Happy Friends (& the competition for both was high) - it’s proper home cooked food here and you can tell - Really, really great in every way - Prices are very reasonable too - I highly recommend along with Anixis.

Family of 4 visited for dinner 22 October around 8pm. First question asked was "is the kitchen busy"as we heard rumblings the food service is extremely slow. Server advised no, there were only a few tables in for food. We duly ordered drinks, Greek salad and 1 x burger, 2 x cheese stuffed burgers and a kids spag bol. Not gourmet food by any standard. The drinks arrived after 20 minutes. Then the wait began....after a further hour we had to ask where the food was. The server in charge was really bolshy and said the chef had to stuff the burgers. My husband who speaks Greek told the server the Greek salad should have been served as there is no cooking involved and at that point she should have explained a delay to the main courses. He asked her to check with chef as to how long it would be. After another 15 minutes all the food arrived. During this time we saw another table leave money for drinks on the table and walk out - they were seated at a table when we originally arrived - I guess they gave up waiting. We also heard a large group having drinks say to the same server to calm down, they were only trying to help her, so not sure what was going on there. Lots of other tavernas in area but we thought we'd give Happy Friends a try... Big mistake. When we asked to pay another server brought the bill as the head server was now avoiding us. Didn't touch the Greek salad, got no apology or reason for very long delay and sub-standard service, but we paid in full and left vowing not to return. We all have bad days, but the head server should NOT be in the hospitality industry as her manner, demeanour and attitude was shocking. Its a nice location across from Alexandras gyros place, but you would be better going anywhere other than Happy Friends...

Read reviews before going on our penultimate evening on our holiday. Service terrible. Food mine could not eat it gave most to Pefkos cats Would not return it next time in Pefkos. Enough said.

We looked at reviews on Happy Friends and took a chance having been to several more expensive restaurants where the food was not great. Happy friends was a breath of fresh air! Lovely staff, genuinely interested in making your experience a good one. We were asked if everything was ok with the food and were warned of a delay before ordering. The wait was no longer that we had receieved at a restaurant nearly double the price and the food and presentation was far superior! Give Happy Friends a try, the name says it all :)

On arrival the staff stated that they had a huge booking tonight and may not be able to accommodate us, however, they discussed with one another and brought out another table and managed to get us seated. We ordered cocktails which were amazing and very big! The food was the best we have had in Pefkos so far. The vegan options are amazing, there is so much choice. I had the vegan gyros and it was delicious. They catered very well for my vegan toddler and my meat eating partner too (he loved the chicken gyros). The staff are very friendly and there is a lovely atmosphere about the restaurant. We will definitely be back! Thank you Happy Friends!! X

We first went to Happy Friends for a family meal, there were 24 of us, the owner assisted with decorations that we had for the table and nothing was too much trouble. We did pre order food and all our meals we delicious and piping hot. The cocktails here are the best I have had. The couple running Happy Friends and all of the staff are super helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Happy friends became a top choice of ours. We moved resorts for our second week but returned on our last night as we enjoyed it here so much. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and of good quality. We will definitely be back when we are next on the Island.

We were a party of 8 and at first felt very welcomed, order food and that is where it went down hill, waited 1 hour 45 mins for the food and when it came out was not great, 3 salads orders which all looked good and tasted good however all the meat orders were poor. Chicken overcooked and ordered steak and served what looked like a pork chop. When challenged this it turned out it was veal. Went to pay and was not allowed to split the bill. Really frustrating as every other restaurant will allow you to split the bill. Reading the reviews I am sure this has been a good restaurant however I will never go back.

Happy Friends was a little haven in a resort which was not fully open. The limited menu of steaks, chops, souvlaki, fish was more than adequate and the family here plus their cute little dog make everyone feel welcome. Greek Easter festivities were laid on with drinks, roast lamb and dancing. Very memorable and appreciated. The area has everything you need with a swimming pool there too ( due to be filled as we were very early in the season ). The food was very tasty and we enjoyed ourselves here very much.

Me and my wife are here on 11th September and were very impressed with the service and food. The restaurant itself may seem slightly overlooked by the other restaurants on the main road however this was much nicer in our opinion and also more reasonably priced. We ate at the others too. I had the calamari my wife had the special burger which we enjoyed. We had the chocolate dessert which was also very nice. The service was incredible especially when my wife felt very faint due to the heat and they provided a free lemon drink to help. Before leaving the waiter provided a card and said we could call them for help or advice while staying in the area. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I ate/drank here 5 or 6 times during our 2 week holiday in Pefkos. The food here was always delicious, especially the moussaka and kebabs, and great value. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. They always made time to chat to us.

Used the Happy Friends several times over a fortnight. Great Breakfast sunbeds pool and bar. Also went in the evening for dinner. All the food is fresh cooked on site and excellent quality for a reasonable price. Theo and Karina are brilliant hosts and have pride in there place. There is a genuinely warm welcome here. Would recommend anyone comes and tries here. It's very clean and tou are treated as friends.

Been to Pefkos twice and both times spent a lot of time here. They have a large cocktail menu which we have worked our way through (me and my other half agree they make the best mojitos in Pefkos). This year we went on a Sunday for the bbq which was amazing value for money! The service at happy friends is on another level, they are very welcoming and make you feel like regulars as soon as you step foot in the place. Highly recommend this venue for cocktails, chilling by a pool or food, they do it all and always with a smile.

We enjoyed it so much that we went back several times. You eat very well thanks to the Owner's ability to cook delicious dishes. We made friends with the owners and it was a regret to leave them. Low prices. We will return on the next trip. A family
