Lovely authentic food, good value and friendly service. We had the mezze banquet and it was delicious as always. This was our third visit and we will certainly be going again.

the food and service was excellent, but quite surprised that this is the first restaurant that I've been to in a long time that charges for a glass of soda water with a meal. £2.50 a glass. Its free in every other restaurant that I've been to. I can understand being charged if I didn't order anything else.

Fantastic food and amazing customer service. The waitress went above and beyond in helping my 4 year old nephew stay settled throughout the meal. It’s hard to keep a young child entertained at a restaurant, but she was incredible. So attentive and made him feel really special. The whole family enjoyed their first experience at Sokrates and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Great food with excellent service. Loved it. A little Greek gem in Horwich. Meze was served at a steady pace with all food steaming hot. Staff advised on which dish went with each dip which was a nice touch.

This is a traditional - no frills Greek family run Taverna. They keep it simple and do it well. You know what to expect and over the years we have always good meals.

First time we had visited Sokrates in Horwich. Had the mezze, which was great & generous portions. Friendly staff too. We all agreed that we would go back. If I had one very minor criticism (and I mean 'tiny'), it would be that the house white is not very good (and it's the only wine you can order by the glass). All in all, lovely evening. Would definitely recommend.

All good - welcome, choice, location, ambience, service, prices. Oh yes, and the food! Maybe one addition could be 2 Greek coffees for the price of one or similar?

Went on a Friday night at 8pm, wasn't too busy and we were immediately greeted at the door and shown to our table. We both got the mezze menu and it was delicious and very filling, service was great too and the price is very reasonable. We will be back again soon!

Great Greek food to take your mind off the January blues and the weather. Went as a family group and all enjoyed our meals - some new options too. Friendly and good service, they're always busy but not too busy to be pleasant and attentive. Thoroughly recommend Sokrates in Horwich.

Wonderfully tasty food and excellent service. A warm welcome on a freezingly cold night. The mezze for our party was a presentation of many different courses of which I particularly enjoyed the grilled vegetables which, although it may sound very ordinary, was in fact infused with all the best tastes of a barbecue, and the aubergine dish. This is not to say that the other dishes were anything but lovely. Highly recommended.

Always reliably good food and attentive service. We always order the mezze, so we can try a little bit of everything, followed by the cheescake with figs. We'd find it really difficult to choose just one main course otherwise!

Great food, friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Also good value. Would definitely recommend to everybody. My cousin and his wife always want us to take them here when they visit us. They have travelled exstensively in Greece and rate this restaurant food as good as if not better than the food they have had in Greece and islands.

Perfect evening! Brilliant atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. There was no push for you to eat and go, which is a good job, because the food was amazing and needed to be savoured! Fantastic value for money! I never write reviews, but had too for Sokrates Taverna! I'll be back again!
