Two Couses for £5.95 in the merchant city, not bad.
posted on July 5th, 2007 at 3:02 pm - #2Zorba had a decent selection, 7 Starters and 10 Mains.
I had the Keftedes, Meats ball in a tomato sauce, very nice. Then I had the Souvlaki, basically a chicken kebab and rice with tomato sauce also very nice. The “Taverna” had a nice warm feel and it was priced ok for lunch. Not sure if the waiter was also the owner, probably was, nice guy, he’s got that sort of New York obnoxiousness with a Europe twang, Lots of “My Friend, My Friend”.
All in all, nice, good value and would go again. Would have preferred a larger cup of coffee but they can’t be perfect.
Quick Drive in Car - Park extortionate in this part of town 30p for 10 mins - so add at least £1.80 for lunch to cover this if you need to drive here.£5.95 for lunch was good.

Pate starter was good size - could have done with more pate to match the amount of bread. Pate was really good - nice, thick, slightly gritty pate with ornage marmalade - not a combination I’m used to but good nonetheless. Main course of Pastitsio - Macaroni cheese on bed of mince - mince not spiced enough for my likeing - little bland. Macaroni reminded me of carribean macaroni pie. And coffee was bit bland and in too small a cup. Still good for £7.50 all in - excluding parking
Zorba 2 course lunch £5.95 - good value for money.

I had Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves with a tomato sauce) for starters, quite nice but must admit i have had better. For main course i had the Chicken Souvlaki, very tasty. Made to perfection and nicely presented. Quite good portions as well. The only thing i disliked about the place was i felt slightly rushed between courses. All in all a good place to dine for lunch.
