Emessa is a traditional Syrian restaurant in Makedonitissa, located on Elia Papakyriakou Street near the intersection with 28th October Avenue.

Emessa was operating at the exact same location for several years in the past, but took around a year's "break" in 2009 when it closed and was replaced by "Alera", a Bulgarian restaurant. That didn't last and in the middle of 2010, Emessa reopened, with the official launch on June 10th, following a promotional 50% off week.

Emessa serves a similar menu as Sawa in Nicosia and the Syrian Friendship Club in Engomi, including the must-haves in dips, salads and meats, as well as a few new dishes. The prices are very reasonable and the food is very good.

As with all other Middle-Eastern restaurants in Nicosia, Emessa serves the traditional "nargile" or "shisha".

Overall, it is an exceptional value for money.
