The best Lokoumades store in the world! I’ve had Lokoumades in so many different places & stores and nothing ever compares to Panikos’s Lokoumades! MUST try when in Cyprus!! Without fail they are always super crispy on the outside with just the right amount of sweetness. We always order the traditional Lokoumades with syrup. Delicious!! 12/10!
