Zorba's Greek Restaurant in Coventry

Never been before ..glad I finally made the effort.. food was amazing. Service great.. not rushed.. we hada really good evening .will definitely return

A lovely family restaurant where the staff are warm and inviting. We went on a busy Friday night and the restaurant was very busy. The food that came out was superb and despite the restaurant being full, no one seemed to be waiting for their orders. We'll worth a return visit

Pre pandemic used Zorbas regular 10/06/23 first time back for my 71st Birthday. Booked for 5pm as had youngster with us . Got there doors not open had to ring to get then to open doors . Owner apologised on phone said she was sorry she was getting changed form her other job did not realise staff had not opened doors. Once in were told to sit where ever we liked as they were not going to be busy ! No wonder . No up to date menus . we’re given a QR code to order online . Waiter couldn’t understand English did not know what a lime and soda was so ended up with water . Ordered the pork was inedible tough and fatty . As the only other table of three occupied confirmed by sending his back . Wrong meals being bought out to other tables owner having to apologise and sort out . My sons klefftica was tasteless and very pale in colour . My sword fish was so small it looked like a sprat. Kept trying to get waiters attention about tough pork meal he kept saying in a minute then never coming back.. so gave up Then when asking to order dessert for my daughter same waiter kept bypassing us eventually owner came out she took order.when the baklava came out two tiny pieces for £6.50 To say will never go in Zorbas again is an understatement Shame as it used to be really good Poor service Bad food Over priced for portions No reply from complaint email sent to owner

Excellent in every way - the food was fresh, authentic and delicious and the service was exceptional. We were greeted like old friends even though it was our first visit. We’re not locals but will definitely be back. Thanks for being so lovely on our anniversary. We had a lovely time.

Went there for my friends birthday, the food was delicious and the staff where superb. Friendly and fun. Did a bit of Greek dancing at the end (was tough after such a delicious meal) could not recommend highly enough!

Passed Zorbas many times and thought it was about time we visited. It was near Christmas and there were a couple of large parties in. The place is much bigger than it looks from outside. Menu is quite diverse and I would say covers every taste. Food was lovely. 4 of us in my company and we all enjoyed our meals. After everyone had finished eating the music cranked and the dancing began with the waiters leading the Greek dancing. Not sure if this is a regular Friday night experience or just because it was Christmas but we had a brilliant night and I would recommend it to all.

The reason why I rated it as a 2 was because the service was poor having to wait 20 minutes for a drink because they had not got enough glasses, and there was a 12 strong group of really loud men shouting over each other to the point that myself and our friends couldn’t here ourselves talk and the staff did nothing to quiet them down it got to a point when another couple left rather abruptly because of the discomfort they were causing. I wouldn’t recommend a return especially at £30 per head as the bland food was like mush piled on a plate

Food was lovely, traditional greek cuisine with an exceptional welcome from the family. We will definitely be returning

We've been trying to go to Zorba's for years. It's one of those place, you see it coming from the city centre as you go down the hill on Radford Road - must go there, love Greek food! Managed to get in tonight, which was never possible before COVID. Greeted as we came in by delightful youngsters, who turned out to be the children of the owners. We were sat down and ordered drinks. The enthusiasm of the staff was infectious and the authentic range of food was great to see. I had Dolmades to start and my wife had tzatziki. Dolmades included meat and were warm with a tomato sauce, clearly made in house and very good. Tzatziki also went down well. I had Kleftico and my wife had stuffed peppers. Kleftico had the benefit of tasting of lamb - had it many times before where the lamb was just the substance underneath, this was not overwhelmed but still very tasty. Stuffed peppers were very nice but portion too large to finish! All staff were incredibly warm, helpful and very happy to talk about the food of which they were rightly proud. Very happen to return whenever we can.

Poor service, wrong food given,COLD food, complained to manager who had trouble accepting,extremely bad

Been here since i was a little girl with my family so when i found out it was my restaurant for my hen party i was ecstatic. And it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. Very accommodating towards needs of guests attending nothing was too much trouble. The effort they went to with my family in the organisation of the evening i cant thank them enough. Sammy and the team were lovely and loved the personal touch in the evening on congratulating me on my upcoming wedding, it was very heartwarming. Food was incredible and all my family and friends commented on how delicious it all was, the beef especially was a hit! Can’t wait to bring my soon to be husband to the restaurant and show off how incredible it is. Thank-You!!!!

We can not thank sammy and her team enough for the best night ever. We celebrated my sisters hen do here with 40+ of us. Accommodating was an understatement. Nothing was to much trouble, the staff worked so hard and were brilliant. The restaurant is decorated beautifully with a lovely feel to it. Wow wow wow is all we can say about the food considering there was so many of us the food came out hot and well presented with true Greek authenticity. The beef melted in your mouth and the lemon chicken was spectacular. It was all truly out of this world. Every part of of evening blew us away. Sammy the manager even popped in to bring us some bubble although she was not working that evening. I honestly can not recommend this place enough. We are already planning our next visit ( in smaller groups 😂) thank you to the amazing team on that night and the chefs. What a team what a great place what a night. Oppa !

This restaurant has been around for years and having visited Santorini earlier this year I was keen to give it a go. Let’s set the scene. It was a Friday night, a party of 10 and 8 in situ, not every table in use. The venue and atmosphere was authentic with good lighting, music and lots of noise! The waiters were very friendly but sadly the food was ok, nothing special but not awful also. I had to personally approach the bar for a drink as my first was empty for 10 minutes and when asked would we like sauce with our mains, it never arrived. I appreciate the restaurant had 2 x large groups but that should mean the basics are forgotten. Keep your customers “topped up” and if they make a request, follow it through if possible!!

We went there tonight for a family celebration because my daughter had just got a new job. Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the servings are very generous! One of the waiters asked us what the occasion was and when we told her she brought out a generous portion of chocolate cake with 3 spoons and said congratulations to my daughter on her new job. It was a lovely touch and when we asked for the bill the waiter brought it over with 3 shots on the house! We will definitely be returning, can't wait to try other dishes on the menu!

OK…. Food was ok, atmosphere ok, service ok, price a bit high…. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll return. I enjoyed the vine leaves main, but the chicken kebab was very dry. Really didn’t like scanning a QI code for the menu.

Walked in and waited about ten minutes to eventually someone appeared and showed us to our table. No draught beer as the supplier didn’t deliver. Not a great start. Small over priced Greek lager was the next best thing. Place was tidy and seemed clean....

Waste of time and money, staff a absolute joke could not run a bath, don't go there thirsty they left us a table of 9 sitting for about 20 minutes before someone took our order then waited another 10 for them to arrive. Then took...

Don’t let the surrounding of restaurant put you off, derelict pub opposite, once inside pleasant atmosphere but we are here for food. We choose Mezzedaki as starters and Mythical Mezze as main to explore several different dishes, one our party very knowledgeable about food. Very...

I visit Greece usually three times a year. My partner and I are of an age where we usually have a mix of mezzes rather than starter and main. We had three starters and a main meal between us. He had a Mythos and I...

Use to be really good original Greek Restaurant with a live music great food and 5 star services, but unfortunately not anymore. Guys, return to the old times 5-6 years ago, you can do it.

We ordered the gyros. One chicken, one halloumi and one mushroom. You would think with one being meat, one vegetarian and one vegan they would of been wrapped separately. No they weren't. The meat and halloumi were wrapped together We rang to question it and...

Good food well cooked but overpriced and items missing. Had the Meze loved the starters but slightly disappointed with the mains and Dolmades missing. Asked twelve times if everything was alright which felt like overkill.

Fabulous Christmas Eve takeaway collection. It was lovely just like we remembered it from our past visits to the restaurant. Fab web site easy to navigate. Food was fabulous. Thank you.

Really disappointed. I ordered 2 starters and a main through takeaway delivery and my starters both had pittas and salad missing. I called the restaurant to explain and they refused the items were on the menu. I had to go to the restaurant show them...

Honestly, all courses of the food were spectacular but it server let them down in a few key areas: 1. Our table was moved to accommodate a party that turned up with people than they booked for. Then the big party decided to leave 2....

We had our work Christmas do at Zorbas and it was not disappointing. Great service, the food was brilliant and the mains were huge portion sizes. The entertainment in the evening was good - we had Greek dancing and there was a small disco at...

Took my wife for a meal for our 23rd anniversary, food was excellent, staff are very friendly, perfect anniversary meal, cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Really lovely food and such a great atmosphere, loved everything about this place! For drinks you’re better going over to the bar to order yourself, but it’s a very small restaurant so this is no trouble! Loved it here, will definitely go again.

Food so good it must be witchcraft not cooking. Top tip 1. The entrance is the door on the right. Top tip 2. Go with a good appetite. Inside the somewhat nondescript building is a comfortable, warm, cosy, modern interior; very clean and well maintained....

Visited for a Small family birthday meal. The positive points: The entertainment had diners up dancing so the atmosphere in the restaurant felt like being in Greece not Coventry. Food presentation which is important was good The not so positives : The Staff seemed dis...

been here a few times now, unusual for us as we like to try new places.....the reason, excellent food, plain and simple. Cooked to perfection, excellent presentation and lovely staff.what more could you need.....reasonably priced...got that as well!

If you want crap service, rude people, food not arriving together, a loud environment which will burst your ear drums then go here. Take my advice avoid at all costs. I will never be going here or recommending this place to anyone. The manager needs...

Booked Zorbas for a group of 40. Sammi the owner, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and satisfied that everything in hand. The food was beautiful and the entertainment was excellent - especially for a big party. My children 6 & 11...

First time visited and it was early (6.15 pm) on a Monday, so relatively quiet. It is a well decorated restaurant but more importantly the food was first class. Staff were attentive but not invasive, but my word the food was very good.

Small restaurant with big tables, but good service and great food. I had the swordfish and my wife the calamari. The swordfish was good but the calamari was superb! Freshly made large tubes that were crumbed and deep fried. Melted in your mouth! I wouldn't...

Booked again for my partners birthday! Had a really fantastic time, thankyou! Service was fantastic, really spot on, always find the venue and food beautiful!

Amazing night, genuinely authentic food, brilliant atmosphere and the staff are outstanding. Can not rate this place enough! Grab a group of your friends and get there.

We have been here for so many different reasons over the years and our recent trip for a family birthday was as good as usual. The mezze was excellent and we were all stuffed and the moussaka and Greek potatoes were especially delicious. The only...

Im a big eater and was a bit apprehensive about ordering a sharer but i have to say, i was stuffed by the time we had finished and there was still some left over! Great food and great service!

Had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. Food was gorgeous. Atmosphere was amazing & staff were off the scale, especially Alexi. Looking forward to the next time 😁

Booked a takeaway over the phone after reading on the web site ...half advertised price...see pic. Nearly walked away after paying bill, then totes up in my head and realised I'd beem charged same price as on menu. Challenged guy who had brought meal out...

We booked for my husbands birthday the staff were great very friendly even when I added more people at the last minute. There were 17 of us and we all enjoyed the food,the dancing was good fun too A great night!

First visit to Zorbas. Really enjoyed the food - great flavours and large portion sizes. It was busy when we came, as it’s very popular - paying the bill took a while though as the staff were really busy. Will definitely return.

I had a business trip to Coventry and looked for a Greek restaurant and found Zorbas from a Google search. Spoke to some locals who spoke well of it and we went along. It was a cold and frosty Monday night and so sadly it...

I've been meaning to post this review since I came here for my birthday in January. Party of 14 of us had a fantastic evening. Everybody's meals were delicious and a smooth service. The traditional Greek dancing was so much fun afterwards and then disco...

Went with large group friends and eat from party menu. Excellent value and food was delicious had authentic homely taste. I had soup= Stifado,=Cheesecake and enjoyable it was too. No one in our group of 20 complained and staff were busy but friendly.

I went with friends from work which was an early Christmas works party. There was 16 of us the place was very busy but everything was very organised the food came out all together & hot & also delicious. Would highly recommend this Greek restaurant...

Went here for my wife's 60th birthday with friends and had a fabulous time, the staff were excellent, food brilliant and not overcrowded. The disco at the end of the evening was practically a private party for us. This was two years ago and the...

We visited zorbas on a Friday night and it was wonderful. Staff were all very friendly, food was delicious and music was fabulous. We loved it.

Having moved to Coventry recently we thought we would try The Greek What a mistake the food was awful the service was as bad as the food Won't be returning

We've been coming here for years and not thought to write a review before. This authentic Greek restaurant is the best I have ever been to. We always have maze to start which is so varied and delicious. I had stifado for my main last...

Didn't even eat at the restaurant very rude booking experience woman on the phone made me feel stupid for not knowing about making deposits for 20 of my family members to attend. Will never eat here again.

1st visit to newly refurbished Zorbas. Was not disappointed. Great food great atmospher attentive staff. And they now do takeaway. Cannot fault this place.

Where do I start, family meal where everyone who ordered the mezze left hungry! Awful food had to ask for more pitta, 4 pieces of chicken but 5 ordered the Mezze! All the mains were really dry and inedible! Shocking quality of food and to...

Attended for the first time last night, the newly refurbished restaurant! ! What a joke, bar and toilets may be new but nothing else. We were a party of 10, sat on a long table that should have sat between 6-8 people, very close and...

The steak was delicious, cooked exactly as I requested, prepared in a Metaxa, peppercorn and cream sauce. My wife had beef stifado which was equally well prepared and served with beautifully cooked Greek style potatoes. Both meals served with heaps of fresh salad. Booking recommended...

Traditional Greek food served with well informed staff who understand Greek culture. We went with two Greeks, who enjoyed the informal atmosphere, meze platters to start with great mains. Service a bit slow, typically laid back, but worth it for the food.
