Visited Sat 16th March 24 with 5 other ladies from our dining & afternoon tea group. We have worked through the alphabet & this was our last letter. We certainly ended our journey at an absolute gem of a place. The portions of food were substantial & it was very tasty. The staff were friendly. A very popular place as most of the tables were taken.

This was the best Greek experience!!! Everything from atmosphere to food was finger licking delicious and whoever hasn't tried their homemade filled croissants yet, you need to do it ASAP. These croissants are the best thing I've eaten in UK so far. Thank you for an amazing experience ❤️

The food is great here although it could do with a slightly larger menu. Maybe prawns or sea bream. Staff are nice and friendly. Only problem is it is so cold it spoils it. Needs plenty of heating then I'd be coming much more often.

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.

We wanted a quick-ish pre-theatre meal so shared houmous to start then between the three of us had two lamb souvlaki with rice and a chicken souvlaki with chips. All were excellent and the mains were a good size. The service was friendly and efficient. I was persuaded to try the home made baklava and the waitress was happy to give us a container to take some away. It was our first visit but we'll be back to try the rest of the menu.

Delicious takeaway this evening. Food was delivered within 30 mins as promised. All v fresh and hot dishes were piping.We had a selection of cold dips and pita, chicken and pork greek wraps with halloumi (stuffed to the brim with well seasoned succulent meat, salad, red onion, chips and tzatziki) and an extra portion of salt and oregano chips. All this washed down with some ice cold mythos beer, and finished off with 'to-die -for' moist, syrupy orange cake.Our Greek visitor gave it the stamp of approval too thanks Nadim, see you again soon!

Had an amazing meal here. Don't be pup off by the exterior, once inside it has the feel of a Greek island taverna. Foot plentiful and devious, very clean and an wonderful host. Mixed grill really tasteful as well as the Halloumi. We were treated to Ouzo and a dessert on the house. I also should mention that when ordering I loved how the owner I believe was honest and said we might have ordered to much so with his advice scaled back. He was right we were going to order to much. I like that honesty. Lovely gem of a restaurant if you are missing a holiday in Greece.

During lockdown we ordered takeaway from this restaurant every single weekend- the food is absolutely unbelievable!! We visited the restaurant in person last night and the customer service and food was perfect. The food is served quickly with little to no wait time and, as always, tasted amazing. The taverna itself is cosy and relaxed and we enjoyed our visit thoroughly. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! It’s our favourite for traditional Greek food!! Thank you again to the manager for his fantastic attitude towards customers :)

I have been a loyal customer for YEARS to this restaurant. Always choosing zorba for birthdays and special occasions and supporting this local business and the way I have been treated this evening by the manager has left me shocked and saddened. I have loyally introduced many people to this restaurant and recommended it for years now, however my experience this evening has left me shaken! I placed an order at 6:40 and was told it would be about 50 minutes to an hour - perfect! An hour and a half later the order hadn’t arrived so I politely called and asked where it was. He was very apologetic and explained my order would be 10-15 minutes maximum, I accepted this and waited. It got to over 2 hours since I placed my order and myself and my family were so hungry by this point so I called to cancel the order so we could order elsewhere. I was told the order was on the way however 2 hours is completely unreasonable and we no longer wanted the order. The manager shouted down the phone at me to keep the food when it arrives and to NEVER order from them again, he then hung up. I am absolutely shocked and have been left shaken by this incident. I have loyally supported this restaurant for years and I’ve been shouted at and told to never order again all because the food took an unacceptable amount of time to arrive when I was advised it would be here much much sooner. When the order finally arrived it was wrong anyway. I had ordered 2 halloumi pittas and only received 1. Very very upset by this.

First of all, to my fellow Brits, I would like to say that the portion size in this place is huge. The quality of the meat is amazing. The taste is unlike any other restaurant/takeaway I've tried in the UK. I lived in Greece for 10 years and it's the closest thing to being back there I've found over here. It's amazing that they changed the Cypriot pittas for Greek ones. I'm half Cypriot and half Greek and I can find Cypriot pittas everywhere but it's a struggle to get Greek pittas from Greece anywhere in the UK. Thank you Zorba! Now for my fellow Greeks: there is no need to become robes everywhere. If we have a "suggestion" to make something better, we pick up the phone and speak nicely to the owner. There's no need to play it easy, even if we know, it's necessary to always live in a beautiful manner. I was so happy that they put in Greek Pitta and took out the Cypriot one. Perhaps the only shop that keeps only Greek traditions. Without wanting to insult Cypriot cuisine, I am half Cypriot and half Greek. I find Cypriot food everywhere, but I rarely find Greek food.

I am really sorry to leave a bad review guys but we ordered a takeaway last night and it was horrible!! We had one 4 years ago and I swore I never order again but my wife fancied greek takeaway and my goodness was I right. The chicken(supermarket chicken?)pitta shouldn't been served like that, it was 6 pieces of chicken cubes and 5 chips in the box for people! The saganaki was definitely the worst I have ever tried!! Taste wasn't good either as nothing tasted fresh or Greek. Please contact me if you need advice as I worked and run Greek restaurants and most importantly I am Greek!

Although we have eaten in the restaurant and knew they do takeaway, we have only just discovered that Zorba also delivers it. I wish we'd found that out earlier in lockdown! For three of us we ordered Kleftico, Vegetarian Mussaka and Mix Grill For One Chargrilled Souvlaki. It arrived right on time and was delicious. Portions are generous and there was enough left over for dinner for two the following day. We have two birthdays coming up and, as we can't go out to the restaurant, we'll definitely be ordering in again.

Thanks Nadim and team for an amazing takeaway to celebrate our daughter Leah's Birthday. Ordered at around 4pm for a 7pm delivery and it was bang on time! 4 cold mythos to wash down an amazing feast of greek dip starters, pitta,and dolmades followed by piping hot mousakkas, melt-in the-mouth kleftico and rice, and a fresh greek salad. Dessert was the unmissable orange cake. We'd have preferred to dine in with you, but this was a good 2nd best. See you on the other side!!

Hairy meal!!!! Tasty meal until I came across hair wrapped around a big fat chip. Totally ruined meal I had to throw whole meal away. Called to tell them and they said there isnt any staff with that hair colour or length, implying it must of come from me but it definitely did not. Can now see theres a few reviews with hair in food from here. Staff offered another takeaway another day but I know I wont be able to eat from here again....it turned my stomach! Very pricey for a hairy meal. Tried to review them on just eat but they deleted my order? !!!

If I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would. This is the best food you will find in Chelmsford and probably Essex. I have been the the Blue Strawberry and it PALES in comparison. The price that you pay for the food you get is almost criminal in how cheap it is. The staff are the most friendly and welcoming of ANY establishment I have been too. Food Quality 6/5 Food Price 6/5 Staff 6/5 I can only describe this place as one of Chelmsford hidden gems.
