Excellent authentic food. It's as good or even better than what you'd get in Greece. The pork souvlaki was very tasty. Large portions, and the bill at the end was very reasonable.

First time visiting Zorba’s and was blown away by the authentic Greek food. The atmosphere was charming, and the service was perfect. The moussaka was amazing! I highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality, authentic Greek cuisine. I am already planning on returning soon!

Just been for the first time as newly re opened. Took my daughter we had a lovely dining experience all staff where friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty and filling. Between us we had two mains and shared a couple of starters. Drinks we just had water. Would we go again yes!

Wow just wow. This hidden gem under the arches. We popped in here asking for a table for 4, even though they were fully booked they still accommodated us.
The service was great ,the food was excellent and the atmosphere was like you were in greece. You won't be disappointed. Definitely worth a visit. I advise booking to avoid being turned away.
Toilets are near the front door.
Also i think there is a take away service

Great food, authentic and good choice with reasonable prices. We were well looked after. The restaurant is a bit basic but clean and worth visiting.

Superb service, tasty food, and really attentive when it came to one of our group having dietary needs. Was great before COVID was a thing, pleased to see it's still way way better than initial impressions might lead you to believe. We had the Meze and it's stunning value for such a great spread.

The staff were amazing, the food was amazing. They catered for gluten-free and offered to cater more options if you call ahead. Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough! A must try!

Had both take away and dine in, with a noticeable difference between the two. Take away seen really expensive and didn’t see to get much food for the price paid. When dine in it was the complete opposite and had plenty of food, I was almost say too much!
In house Greek wine was sensible priced and decent quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful with choosing wine, as well impeccable service.
It would be good if they could dim the lighting slightly so we didn’t feel like under spotlights and was cold (visited December)
If they had a refurb inside, this would change this place and the experience from good to great.

Beautiful meal. Friendly staff. We had stuffed vine leaves which were beautiful + the hummus with chilli in for starters. Delish!! Mains were also excellent I had chicken Sheesh + my friend had lamb shank. Both perfect. The owner's then gave us a free shot of ouzo + free dessert which was absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't wait to go back! (Also I still to add it does takeout!) 😍

I haven’t been to Zorba for a few years and the management has changed since I last visited. Sadly I would say the restauarant is not as good as it once was. The food we ate was nice but all of the grilled dishes were over cooked and a bit dry. All the dishes were served with pitta and chips. The portion sizes of the pitta and chips were far too big and everyone in our group left food on their plate which seems like such a waste. One side option and bit of salad would have been a better garnish to fill up the plate. Or smaller plates?! The aubergine dip was disappointing and just tasted like garlic. The other meze bits and Greek salad were very good. Service was sketchy to say the least. Verging on chaotic. You had to flag down the waiter for everything and even then requests were forgotten. Rounds of beer didn’t arrive, main meals arrived before anyone had cleared our plates for starters, no one checked the food was okay. It was all just a bit of a mess. That said if you are looking for a Greek restaurant in Essex this place is okay and the small restaurant setting makes it good for groups not wanting to get lost in a big restauarant space. It is also relatively inexpensive. Just order carefully and don’t expect attentive service.

Took my wife there for dinner and hoped she might like the lamb as i cant eat it. She loved it I'm pleased to say. My chicken was also lovely. The rest of the meal was very good, with good service. Well worth a visit, and well worth the price paid for proper food cooked properly.

I arrived at 6:15, straight from the office, wanting a meal before a 70 miles drive home. Very tasty stifado with rice, followed by a delicious orange cake, washed down with a bottle of Mythos. I shall be back to try something different from the menu.
Sue Harris
Loved it! Very attentive friendly staff. Two of us dined and shared a mixed dip starter with warm pitta bread. Dip option didn't standardly come with taramasalata, which we love, so they included some anyway at no extra cost. My partner had a melt in the mouth lamb kleftico for main which came with a choice of rice, herby potatoes or chips. I chose the mousakka (delicious) which came on it's own. I was going to order a small Greek salad to go with it, but instead our lovely waiter said he'd include some on the side anyway. Ample, with a nice wedge of feta cheese. Dessert was a slice of flaky baklava for him, and a light heavenly orange cake for me, washed down with a couple of mythos, and a couple of glasses of local Greek wine. Authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality at its best. We will be back �

Went last night with friends for my husbands birthday. Fabulous food and so much of it! We all had the Meze & left with a doggy bag. Everyone had a great time. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. We'll be back.�
Julie Woodhatch
Really disappointed. ... we were frequent visitors to this restaurant when it first opened... the owner was very friendly and the food was lovely.
Yesterday my husband had stifado which was very dry.... no sauce and only served with chips. I had kleftico which was merely a lamb shank with very little flavouring, again only served on a plate with chips. The presentation of the meals used to be much better.
There was no retsina on the wine list. My starter was served up after the rest of my family and virtually at the same time as my main course. Such a shame.
Kate Maunders
Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Stumbled upon it and was not disappointed. Great, friendly services and amazing food. Party of 5 and we shared a lot of different hot and cold mezzo options. All the fried cheeses were delicious. Will definitely be returning
Sadie Howard
Such amazing food, great and very friendly staff will come back again and again. Thanks for the orange cake it was so scrummy x

Pre-booked a party of 14. We were really looking forward to it as we all love Greece and Greek food. Frankly I feel they overstretch themselves big time. The casual nature of the restaurant is quirky what with having to come past the take away counter and to be able to see the (tiny) kitchen in action. But other than the main man being lovely, funny and attentive the rest was majorly disappointing. The service was amateurish and quite shambolic. Starters took quite a while and the mains were all over the place with some of us only getting our meal when others had well and truly finished. Two stifado dishes were cold and sent back. Took about 15 mins to return! The waitress, if you could call her that, looked away into the shop and was nigh on impossible to summon to ask for drinks. Such a shame as we tried to make light of it all so's not to ruin our family get together. IF I returned it would be as a table for 2.

We have just had a lovely evening in this wonderful little taverna. The food was plentiful, fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be visiting again soon, and I would heartily recommend it. A total joy!
