Delicious, authentic Greek/Cypriot food - we had read the glowing reviews and it certainly met our expectations. All delivered with warm and friendly service and interesting little descriptions of the origin of some of the dishes. Highly recommend the mezze banquet which offers a little sample of most of the dishes on the menu. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

What a gem of a place - we had read the great reviews and it certainly delivered! The food is authentic and delicious, fresh and tasty and all supported by interesting little narratives of the origin etc the atmosphere is relaxed and the service is warm. The mezze banquet is wonderful and offers a little taste of most dishes off the main menu. They were happy to make a few small adjustments to suit the kids too. We look forward to visiting again very soon.

We had a delicious freshly cooked typical Greek mezze Everything was tasty and fresh and explained by the owner. They also looked after my granddaughters very well. Even the desserts were a bit different and home made The cheesecake with blueberries was out of this world and was the rice pudding in a cup. Well definitely be back The chef also came out and gave us a wave. Not over expensive either

Our first visit to Sokrates on Saturday night, won't be the last Booked the table a few days prior to our visit Found out the day before that my ten year old granddaughter,who lives nearby had been the previous weekend with her dad and members of his family Little electric lips then proceeded to tell me about the excellent service,food and parking facilities etc🤣🤣 Who am I to argue? Decided to have the mezze in order to sample the various dishes One word EXCELLENT! All the food was delicious and filling Friendly service from ALL staff from the moment we walked through the door,including the owner?/manager who whilst serving us also gave me a brief history of the business and the other two restaurants in the group Five stars here,well deserved We'll definitely be back Well recommended!!

Absolutely delicious and authentic Greek food. We absolutely love Greek cuisine and this the best Greek restaurant we have been to that's not in Greece. I would definitely recommend the Greek mezze. Plenty of food- you will definitely be full after finishing! The aubergine imam was our favourite, but all of the food was lovely. Very reasonably priced as well! The staff are all very attentive and very friendly- cannot fault the service. We have eaten at this restaurant a few times and the staff have always been fab. My husband has a severe nut allergy and they have always been reassuring and have accommodated with no issues. Thank you for a great birthday meal.

Service and hygiene is not acceptable here, so it doesn’t matter about anything else. The main issue, apart from the manager who loves the sound of his own voice and doesn’t let anyone else speak was that they accidentally sent out an extra 2 lamb koftas which are small anyway. The manager then came over and took them back off our plate and obviously would have served them to someone else. We may have breathed or coughed on the food, but we can’t remember if we did, so we cannot believe that they would do this. It’s unacceptable to serve food that has been on someone else’s plate so I will never be going back. One of the waitresses, with black hair, was absolutely lovely. The poor service was not related to her in any way.

I've been visiting Sokrates for 15 years now and it's always friendly and fantastic with delicious food. This was my first visit since going gluten free and I was a bit nervous, because not everywhere shows the love for a GF veggie but Oh. My. Word. A full gluten free, veggie meze banquet and it was amazing! The chef even made a beautiful little feta and spinach omelette as a spanakopita alternative. I usually miss eating meat and gluten but not here - I wasn't even jealous of my husband's souvlaki. There was no shrinkflation in sight either - we opted out of the last couple of dishes and still brought leftovers home. You really can't go wrong with a visit to Sokrates, I'm looking forward to the next 15 years' visits. I'd add photos of the food but none of it stayed on our plates long enough to be photographed!

This was my first time at Sokrates tonight and I wasn't disappointed. Every mouthful was a taste sensation and I didn't want it to end, especially the aubergine. The waiter even persuaded me to try calamari for the first time and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere, decor and music was great, the staff were really nice and explained all the dishes that they brought out. I particularly liked the stories behind some of the dishes told by the waiter. It was amazing value and I highly recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely be going back. 5*

What a delight, tucked away in Horwich. A homely taverna with on-street and off-road parking nearby. Delicious freshly made starters of dolmathes (best ever tasted) and a portion of houmous were followed by stifado and a combination of chicken skewers and aubergines imam style. The experience was further enhanced by a very friendly, professional waiting staff member who seemed genuinely interested in the items she was serving. Drinks were good (non-alcoholic beer for me), with great, ‘gritty’ Greek coffee to finish.

What an amazing experience we had at Sokrates. We rang up last minute on a Friday night and asked if they could fit us in and also cater for a vegan diet, which they could. The hospitality and service from start to finish was amazing and the knowledge around which menu items I could have or could be adapted was really appreciated. We asked to order the Greek salad with feta on the side (my friend isn't vegan) and to my surprise they had vegan feta! We had a vegan banquet (not everything shown on the photo) and everything tasted incredible. Our favourite dishes were the aubergines imam, Greek salad, garlic pitta wedges and houmous. All clearly home made and so fresh! Given more notice, they are able to order and prepare food especially for vegan and gluten free diets but what we had was still amazing! I can't wait to go back. Thank you Sokrates :)

Sometimes calamari can be slightly tough but nonetheless very flavourful seasoned food! And they hire greek people in the kitchen so points for that! Nice menu selection, not too big and the atmosphere is very cheerful and light. Recommend for a cheaper but nice dinner! Bathrooms are nice and clean and free sanitary products, hand cream and body spray is available! Wide range of drinks available too. 8/10! Good for price.

After a lazy afternoon at nearby Rivington, the tribe were getting restless, a quick search for "food" and Google said Sokrates was nearest. Fully expecting to be turned away, due to how busy the Taverna was, the staff immediately made us feel welcome, found us a table and settled us down with the menus. There's a good range of Greek dishes and all my favourites were there. Prices are respectable and the food delicious and plentiful. If you like tasting menus, then the Greeks have been doing this for centuries with the Meze and Sokrates' Meze was a great way to try everything on the menu. The pacing of dishes was perfect and the service was attentive and warm without being overly familiar. Desert was clearly homemade and delicious. This was a chance visit, but despite it being a 45 minute drive for us, we will be back, it's become a family favourite.

It goes to show how great my time was here, in that I forgot to take as many photos as I would've liked as I was so distracted by how good a time I was having. I have wanted to eat in Sokrates for a long time as my wife has eaten here a few times and couldn't recommend it enough... and now neither can I! I love Greece, I adore it in fact. The notion that I can go to this lovely little restaurant in the heart of Horwich and get my Greek fix whilst I'm trapped in the confines of the North of England is a real blessing. The atmosphere and the ambiance of the place is like being in a real Greek taverna with beautiful blue and white walls, lovely string lights across the ceiling and other touches and trinkets straight out of Greece. They even play authentic music. The service was absolutely lovely. Very polite and smiley and informative. My squad of four was eating the meze, and they explained every dish to us as it was brought out. We even got extras. And then the food itself. The meze was incredible. No over exaggeration here, the calamari was the best I've ever eaten; and the lemon chicken wings right up there with some of the best wings I've ever eaten. And everything else on top of that was absolutely delicious and we were completely full by the time we had finished. Should add that we also finished with a Greek yoghurt cheesecake too which was a nice light way to cleanse the pallet before leaving. Sokrates is not a cheap place, and nor should it be. The food was perfectly fairly priced for what we ate, and we left full and satisfied. I will absolutely be going again in the future and I will be eating the meze again and taking more photos.

A warm welcome soon sat down ,quick and friendly service Simple menu Food ok, portion size ok Quite cold in the restaurant people were sitting with their coats on ! Dessert was way over priced i thought £7.50 for a Greek cheese cake !

The food is to die for the Greek Tapas is an amazing sharer and is ideal for trying lots of dishes and getting a taste for what you want. The service is second to none and I genuinely can't compliment the chef enough for the food. 5 stars all round, I will probably kick myself when it's rammed and we can't get a booking any more but I can't fault Sokrates.

This is the best Chinese takeaway I have ever been to, that includes most of Europe and all over England. The portions are massive and worth every penny, the large chips are so filling. I love the Chinese food, sweet and sour is great, foo young, Kung pao, noodles, fried rice, I haven’t tried anything I didn’t love. If you like Chinese you have to try this place, it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and the family that run it always serve with a smile.

Awesome. A wonderful blend & fusion of cuisines, from Indian through African. I had the chicken & donner special mix with fries & salad. A good portion, and from first to last mouthfuls... a delight. My wife had the Steak & Cheese Melt Panini - came with fries and a can - stuffed full of tastiness, succulence, she claimed it's the best she ever had. I MUST return - I need to try the Full Grilled Peri peri Chicken. Cannot wait. Service was quick, and the owner showed obvious pride in the place and the menu. Well Done You Guys. Thanks!
