Papakis Deli in St Edmundsbury

Wow. This place was such an amazing find on our Xmas shopping day in Bury. Cosy cafe with just 4 tables inside and 2 outside. Beautiful food. The couple welcome you as soon as you walk in. We had a vegetarian meze. A falafel wrap. Taramasalata and bread. All delicious and well presented. If you visit during December, you will see their Xmas window display. You can't help but chuckle. Good value too.

We were excited to find an authentic Greek cafe and not disappointed with our find!! We had Gyros and a pie. The salad that accompanied them both was delicious. The tsatziki was yummy. We stocked up on some goodies to take home. Lovely staff

Delicious authentic greek meze for late lunch. Owner was very accommodating with easy swap of gluten pitta for gluten free with no hassle at all. Every element of the meze was extremely tasty. Quick service. Great atmosphere. We’ll be back soon I hope.

The food was delicious and tastey excellent seevice greek coffee was excellent. All in all totally enjoyed my time there. Reminds me of our holidays to corfu. Thank you for the good menories.

Excellent food, large menu, quality drinks, excellent service. Went in ordered was brought out to us within minutes tasted authentic healthy and delicious. Coffee was also superb.

This is some of the best food I have ever eaten. I was very surprised to find that all the food was home made. The beans and meatballs in tomato sauce were incredible. The chap even gave me the recipe and I have been trying to replicate it ever since. This is truly authentic greek food with a wonderfully personal atmosphere. We will be going back here but this has also inspired us to visit Greece. Make sure you take some baklava home. It is by far the best I have ever tried.

The food was absolutely amazing, price was great and the owners were so friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for more on a Sunday afternoon.

We have visited Papaki’s Deli a few times now and have tried almost all dishes. If someone asked us which dish we prefer we would struggle to answer as everything is so tasty! The owners are super friendly and always with a smile on their faces. We strongly recommend it! P&P

Only 3 tables indoors and 2 outside, we were lucky to grab one. Lovely view on mot the Wednesday market. Absolutely superb meze plates, generous and good value. Great large coffees too. Will be back! Staff were lovely! Takeout available too.

A completely unexpected find, our lunch here was fantastic and I can't wait to come again. The deli had a great range of delicious vegan and vegetarian options at great prices, and the service was exceptionally friendly.

My husband and I went there for lunch yesterday. The food was excellent, fresh and well presented. It was so good my husband got a takeaway for dinner, I had no room left!! If you’re in Bury this is a must go to place if you want authentic Greek food!!

Was so excited to return after several years. In no way let down Only 2 tables inside but we managed to get one...service spot on ...felt truly welcomed by the owner...minty sweet Greek coffee with two meze plates for just over 20 quid.cannot go wrong.. Fantastic for vegetarians and vegans as well..

Wow! What an absolute gem. Popped here for lunch. Friendly and utterly delicious. Can’t believe I walked past this place for years, won’t be walking past again!

Delicious, authentic Greek food. Lovely atmosphere and very attentive/friendly staff. The gyros were amazing and the Greek salad that came with it was great.

Delicious food and such a lovely couple, would highly recommend a visit! A taste of Greece even during the cold months in England.

We’ve been here several times for the gyros and every time they have been amazing. Their babaganoush has a delightful, smoked flavour and is a standout. Well worth a visit!

Stopped here today for the first time and what an absolute cracking little place. It's not often that you have everything just perfect... Cappuccino 👌 chicken gyro which had an amazing dressing on the salad 👌and the owners were soooo nice and hospitable 👌 We asked about the dressing so the young Greek lady pointed out the bottle (which we bought) and also sold us some of her paprika/oregano mix. So if you are ever visiting Buttermarket in Bury St Edmunds ( where the market is on Wednesday and Saturday) then I highly recommend a wee visit in here. 👏👏👏👌

Shared some lamb and chicken gyros with my two children at the weekend here…well shared is a stretch as they loved them so much I hardly got a look in! The gyros were both filled with meat, salad and dips. Warm and full of flavour. Delicious!

Exactly what a deli should be - fabulous fresh food simply presented in recyclable packaging- minimal waste. Just perfect!

Lovely friendly staff. Great for a take away coffee. Cheaper than costa and much nicer coffee. Occasionally have Portuguese custard tarts which are lovely!

Stopped here for a light lunch and able to sit outside. The food in the window looked great but on sampling was lacking in taste and disappointing. Prices were reasonable however. Maybe the place has a bad day as the service was prompt and friendly.

Spinach and potatoes pies were both lovely and baklava was delicious. Definitely on our list for another visit

Super little find, great super tasty authentic Greek food, only seating for about 6 outside, but also has a take away service, and great little 'finds' to buy. Friendly and helpful staff, hot beverages and food available. Thank-you for a lovely breakfast.

Best meze plate ever!!! The giant beans and meatballs were an absolute delight. Such a nice surprise, so glad we found this place. Don’t miss it if you’re in Bury st Edmunds!!

Remember this is a Deli not a Full Greek restaurant or cafe. Under Covid19 only now has two tables inside and one outside. The service is very good with personal service. The food is excellent presented and tasty like Greek food should taste. We had a traditional Greek salad and a moussaka see photos. Don’t expect a full Greek menu or alcohol drinks, just good simple tasty food.

Lovely little cafe with friendly service. I highly recommend the lamb gyros and take-away coffee! Perfect to take for a stroll around Abby Gardens.

The freshness taste and atmosphere are true to Greece and the islands. Also the treats you can takeaway are amazing. I would highly recommend a stop here

Pooped in for a Greek coffee and was not disappointed. The coffee was amazing and tasted just like it does in Greece which was a lovely reminder of holidays and sunshine! The service was lovely and very welcoming and helpful. The falafel wrap was delicious and very well priced for such good quality and tasty food. A real gem of a cafe and will definitely be going back! Thank you!

First time popping in here but wanted to support a local business rather than buy a sandwich from M&S. We certainly weren’t disappointed. They were just open for takeaways due to covid which was fine by us. We had a Papakis meze and a chicken pitta and took them to the Abbey Gardens. The meze was delicious. It was the best taramasalata I’ve had. So many delicious things. Hubby had the Pitta which he also loved (hence the photo half way through!).Will definitely be back again, a new favourite.

This is such a lovely quaint authentic little cafe. The food is fresh and tastes great A definite reminder of many a Greek holiday

We were looking for something that wasn't a chain restaurant and this place fit the bill. We got in early because we figured [rightly] it'd get busy. It did.It has a nice range of foods. We both had the mousaaka which was delicious. Other customers sounded like they were enjoying theirs. They did a nice range of Greek sweets as well and their Greek coffee was gorgeous.If we are ever back in Bury St.Ed then we'll definitely revisit. Thank you for being great.

Popped in for a coffee as we were visiting Bury St Edmunds. Wanted to try something different. This cosy little place with its 4 tables offers an intimate and informal dining.In the end we had two hot chocolates which were delicious and hubby had falafel with hummus and I had mini meatballs and soft pitta type bread. followed by Baclava. Very tasty indeed.We met a couple who were locals and they picked up a takeaway which I imagine would be have extremely tasty.Friendly staff. Give these guy a try you won't be disappointed.

The best coffee in Bury St Edmund's. Lovely for a light lunch, snacks and very polite staff. Me and my partner go for a coffee in here most weekends. Puts the likes of Starbucks to shame. Fantastic.

Looking around for somewhere to eat while the Christmas market was on at Bury St Edmunds, and tired of the boring sandwiches and panini options I took my friend to Papakis deli. Its on one of the main streets and we loved sitting at our simple wooden table watching the world go by.We picked the meze for around £15 for two. It was great to see there were vegan and veggie options also on offer. Well, it was fantastic value for money as we were absolutely stuffed by the end of it. I can't describe half the food on the plate but it was tasty, fresh and the bread! Yum!A toilet is available which was clean and accessible if you can manage one small step down. Service was a little slower than I would imagine normally, due to the fact they were also running a thriving food stall outside at the market. So there was a bit of staff dashing about!I really recommend this place for tasty food and something a bit unusual for lunch. There was takeaway options, and some seriously tasty looking desserts!

Delicious and healthy veggie and vegan food options. Enjoyed walking around for the Christmas markets then had dinner with my husband here. Did the same last year and plan to do the same next year but I would definitely visit Bury in the meantime just to eat at Papakis Completely authentic :-)

What a delight to stumble across this cafe and deli in Bury. Tasty home cooked fresh Greek food and plenty of morsels to take home too. A pleasure for the eye too. Try the papaki mezze

We found this friendly little Deli just off the top of Angel Hill. We ordered freshly prepared chicken and pork gryos. The food was excellent and I would recommend take away or eating in at this charming Deli.

My husband and I decided to try this place out because the reviews were positive. We went on a rainy Saturday at 11.30am and headed upstairs where we had the place to ourselves (downstairs is small and was cramped looking). We ordered fhe mezze to share and it was excellent. I would say if you eat a lot it's not mega filling but it was fine for lunch. Very tasty and lots of humus etc. You had to go and order and pay at the till which was fine and, once the food had come we were left entirely alone. There's also a deli. Watch your head on the stairs, the ceiling is very low.

My mate has been to this restaurant many times before, this was my first time visiting.

Popped in with my friend that lives in the area ( I don't) for coffee. In my opinion the best latte & mocha I've had. I'm not a fan of the chain coffee houses , independent places are my favourites. Whilst in there a couple on the next table had the Papaki's meze for lunch. It looked amazing. So after a little bit more shopping as promised , we headed back in for lunch. What a fantastic change to the usual array of sandwiches/lunches that are on offer. Stuffed vines leaves, falafel, meatballs, beans, houmous, tzakzki, pittas and greek salad with feta and olives. So not disappointed it was delicious. Well Done.

We had the fanatstic Papakis meze sharing plate. Very generous portions with delicious bread. Treated ourselves to kataifi for dessert because we couldn't resist. Very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend.

After a long old morning wandering around lovely bury we opted for a bit of Greek..

I'm Greek and always looking for good places to get my fix of home. lovely people, lots of Greek produce to buy too. the food was great too!

If you're visiting Bury St Edmunds you must visit this delightful authentic Greek cafe. Small and cosy serving traditional Greek food which includes, Meze (vegetarian or vegan) & Greek desserts. It also contains a small deli for which to buy ingredients.

Superb.We regularly lunch here, the food is excellent, and when we inquired about catering for our wedding we were delighted to be offered the upstairs room.For a small, family and friends wedding it proved ideal. Cosy and intimate enough, the team did a fantastic job of making us all welcome and comfortable before plying us with a fantastic meze selection until we could eat no more.For something deliciouslydifferent I cannot reccommend Papakis highly enough.........

Met my daughter for lunch and as we are both into our salads at the moment we wanted to try papakis.

We popped in here for lunch while mooching in Bury. Menu looked quite simple. We had a shared meze plus some tea. Really good quality and authentic Greek food. A cosy little cafe with a lovely owner. Will be back again!

My wife and I popped in this afternoon and with a severe egg allergy are always a bit cautious on a first visit anywhere. The staff were so helpful and knew their ingredients.

this place looked good when we went in it just got better, food was freshly made , coffee wonderful, we all ate and drank well for £42 [four of us] ,try it you wont be disappointed.

If you like small and friendly then this Greek inspired café is the place to eat in the centre of a busy market town. Prices are reasonable, food is good value and the menu has something to suit everyone.

My wife is Greek. She was absolutely gob-smacked to find a Greek coffee shop/delicatessen in the heart of Suffolk! They serve coffee, Continental AND Greek style (i.e. no milk, in a small cup, with the coffee 'mud' in the bottom. just as you would find in Athens. They also sell all sorts go Greek food - my wife is very partial to a Cretan bread, which is double baked. it's very hard, but can be softened in soup or stew, lots of roughage in it! Also small tit bits to eat. Highly recommended if you are in Bury on market day (Wednesday) or for their very popular Christmas market. Enjoy, and Kali orexi!

My wife and I loved the Greek food offered with lovely service from the young lady here. Very clean - nice clean loos too. Can’t wait to go back

Ok. I'm going to be honest. We visited this restaurant as our favourite, a few doors up, was closed due to refurbishment. However we were not disappointed. A very nice Greek salad was to be had. Perfect on a hot day. A very nice little cafe and well worth a visit.

We popped into Papakis for a light lunch, & shared a meze. The ingredients were all very flavourful & delicious. There was more than enough for the 2 of us despite both of us having good appetites! The service was friendly & cheerful. All in all an excellent little Deli & we’d highly reccomend it!

Great!An authentic Greek restaurant in Bury St Edmunds.No wine no beer nothing like an authentic Greek restaurant.

Stopped in on a Friday for a quick bite abd both had pork gyros. Absolutely deliscious and tasted as I remember from Greece. Cant wait to go back for another. Small inside but not over crowded

Lunch with a friend on a sunny afternoon. Absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend this little deli.

I had not tried Papaki's Deli until very recently, it's so refreshing to find something different, really lovely, I've had to go back again within a week!

Lamb wrap was really excellent. Missed olives and really good quality coffee. Was lucky to get a table, will definitely be back.

We shopped at their deli, if we hadn't had lunch elsewhere, we would have tried had it there. The tables were full and the food looked delicious. The staff were very friendly. We bought fresh feta and baklava to take home. They have a great selection in their deli and on their grocery shelves. We will definitely return for a meal. The feta was the very best feta I have had in the U.K. and the baklava was fantastic.

Lunch was lovely...coffee very nice staff welcoming and friendly definitely recommend.... will go back

Tasty, fresh Greek food. Good portions and friendly service. Ideal for a relaxing quick lunch. Highly recommended

Although only very small the turn around is relatively quick so don't be put off by that. The food is absolutely delicious and you are made to feel that your custom is appreciated. We have been a few times now and the quality of food and service is consistently good. We have also bought food to take home from the deli to recreate some dishes at home. A real treasure amongst the eateries of Bury St Edmunds that I highly recommend . Don't all go at once as I want a table!

Nähe des Stadtplatzes von Bury Saint Edmunds liegt dieser kleine und überraschend gute griechische Imbiss. Innen findet man zwischen großem Schaufenster vorne und Glasvitrine hinten einige Holztische, Stühle und Holzbänke im Stil eines rustikslen Cafés. Auf der Längsseite steht ein Regal mit abgepackten griechischen Produkten zum Kaufen. Die Vitrine im Hintergrund zeigt, was es alles zum Verspeisen gibt: griechische Vorspeise .... und Nachspeisen, Wraps aus Fladenbrot usw. Richtig gemütlich ist es hier. Schnell kommt man mit Gästen und den Bedienungen ins Gespräch, sollte man das wünschen. Die Speisen sind zwar relativ einfach, ist ja nur ein Imbiss, schmecken aber richtig gut. Das ganze Café hat den lockeren Flair eines Studentencafés, erfrischend für eine Stadt, in der es gar keine Uni gibt.

My husband and I went there for lunch and were surprised how great the food was. I had the Mezze for one and he had a Pita. both were excellent and I can't wait to go back. Service was very friendly.

We had a lovely pita wrap with Greek sausage,Greek salad and tzatziki. The cafe has some great Greek products to buy as well including spoon sweets,loukumades batter and oils,beans etc.The home made walnut cake is delicious

I was in BstE doing some shopping and the hunger hit me between the eyes. Searching for something that was not a Greggs or the Golden Arches, or a dull M&S; sarnie I spotted a place I had not noticed before.

Wow! So glad we stopped here for lunch. We had Meze platter to share and everything was delicious. The lady serving was very friendly and there was barely any wait for the food. The meatballs were melt in your mouth and the Baba ganoush was to die for. I will definitely stop here again. A reasonably priced lunch in a lovely friendly space.

This deli is a wonderful place to eat serving tasty Greek food at a very reasonable price. The staff are friendly and helpful and always have a smile on them. You can also take good home and they sell some Greek deli foods.

Wonderful environment in this small café deli in the centre of Bury St Edmunds. Good coffee ,great homemade savoury pastries ,salads and sweet delicacies. Good value and very tasty.Nothing was too much trouble.Everything was prepared on request and in front of you .

Enjoyed a lovely mixed plate of Meze at Papakis on a trip to BStE. Gorgeous and soft meatballs with their giant beans, tzatziki, greek cheese, salad and pitta bread. Finished off with a coffee and one of their yummy pastries. Hope to get back there one day soon.

Nice concept Greek style street cafe.Decent selection of dishes to choose from but hardly authentic.

2 days ago they were selling some food outside as we had some sort of Flower market i think...anyways I got Lamb kebab and half way eating i realized its raw meat inside...i didn't taste at first with all that tzatziki sauce and pita. I am pregnant and hope nothing will happen.

I have met the lady owner of Kotani and Papaki's Deli, and she is very pleasant and quite experienced in Greek dishes, as her father has a restaurant in Kotani village in North Greece, where she grew up. Try all the traditional sweets with honey or syrup, and the pies. You can also buy the necessary ingedients and try some recipes at home.

Give it a try! Small Greek delicatessen offers a variety of artisan products, fine foods, mezes, sweet treats..Lots of Greek ingredients to buy for home..

I love coming in here and seeing what they have to offer. Proper Greek coffee, and coffee pots in case you never bought one in Greece, delicious biscuits, baklava. The baklava was angelic.

No-one was here on a busy Saturday in BSE market but us, and that's just plain wrong....
