Kritamo

Kritamo Rooted in the rocks, grown for the table.

In Greece, Kritamo (Rock Samphire) is the ultimate survivor. It grows wild along the sun-drenched, salty cliffs of the Mediterranean, thriving where others cannot. It is a symbol of resilience, freshness, and the raw beauty of the coast.

At Kritamo, we bring that same spirit to the Birmingham community. Our kitchen is a tribute to the rugged flavors of Cyprus and Greece using simple honest ingredients to create dishes that are bold, bright, and deeply rooted in tradition. Like the plant we're named after, we believe the best flavors come from staying true to our roots.

At the table

Φιλοξενία starts before the first bite. a warm welcome, shared plates, and the unhurried rhythm of a Greek-Cypriot τραπέζι. Our meze is built for gathering: bold flavours, honest ingredients, and room to linger.

From the kitchen

Simple, honest cooking rooted in Greece and Cyprus. fish from the grill, greens from the pan, flavours that are bright and bold. Food made to share, not to rush.

At the bar

A place to settle in before dinner or stay a while after. wines chosen to pair with meze, spirits for a slow evening, and the same easy welcome whether you are here for one glass or the full τραπέζι.

Our Values
