A TASTE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

‘Zorba The Greek’ recaptures the culinary style of authentic Greek cooking resulting in a myriad of wonderful tastes and textures. We serve traditional Greek home-style cooking using the freshest produce available.

Try us out, we feel sure you will be impressed at the quality of our food. Please check before you order incase of any allergies or dislikes you may have of Onion, Garlic etc. (a lot of Greek food contains these ingredients, as well as Cinnamon, Oregano, Coriander & Virgin Olive Oil) Everything is natural and as fresh as possible with no harmful additives. Please also note that some dishes contain gluten, wheat and nuts.

Small and cosy is the only way to describe ‘Zorba The Greek’ with seating capacity of up to 40 persons. With the vibrant blue & white colour scheme, Greek Island atmosphere and traditional Greek mouth watering dishes, you will be transported to a place you once were (or want to be) on a Greek island somewhere in the Med.

Zorba The Greek is down to Earth, Greek village style ‘Taverna’ with a pleasant traditional Greek homely feel. We pride ourselves on our excellent freshly cooked meals and our overwhelmingly successful ‘MEZE’ but don’t take our word for it, come and see why we are winning awards and are the talk of the town and try for yourself. We feel sure, once tried, never forgotten!
