Zorba The Greek Taverna Chelmsford

It was absolutely brilliant. Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, well priced and the staff were so nice and welcoming.

The food was great but the wine was not up to standard

Great food as always, recognised as a returning customer again. Thanks!

Great atmosphere, staff and food. Best evening out for ages.

Good food as always, our waiter recognised us as returning customers. Quick service although the food would have been worth a wait as it was very tasty. Thanks!

It was our first visit we will be back the food was fantastic

Fantastic overall experience! Amazing staff and great food. Can't wait to go back.

Great food, and lots of it. friendly staff. Under the railway arches so expect fun surroundings rather than high end.

Great place, food and service. A real hidden gem, will definitely be going back..

This was a fabulous night out My family we’re mad early to feel very welcome and true to Greek culture my children were well looked after and catered for We ate ourselves silly with the meze and enjoyed lots of mythos Please do go and try it out we found real gems

cant wait to go back again. loved loved loved it.

Excellent good food Good atmosphere friendly staff And awesome baklava

Second time here, amazing service & great food both times. Will definitely be returning!!

You might be in Essex but with Zorba you get a great taste of the Greek cuisine and atmosphere! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming an really made you feel a part of the family. The food was great and the desserts most certainly were an added bonus! Really couldn't recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great evening out, will definitely go back soon

fantastic food and a great host. very enjoyable and highly recommended

Food was excellent and plenty of it , the service was also top draw with lots of complimentary Ouzo and Greek Brandy the hosts were also very friendly

The food arrived very swiftly and was tasty but I wouldn't recommend or return to this restaurant for the following reasons:- The food was expensive and luke warm. The waitor/manager was smiley but not attentive, despite there being only 3 (max) customers eating whilst we were there. He neither asked if the food was OK, nor offered us further drinks or courses. He spent most of the time gazing into his laptop, in full view of his guests. We gave him a generous tip (long story) but he didn't seem particularly grateful. I think he thanked us. Our bill total was correct but the individual items weren't; chips and rice against the wrong meats. Sadly, this establishment needs to smarten up if return visits are to be encouraged.

We had a great time with great food. We were even advised we had ordered far too much and he took what he thought was unnecessary off the order and guess what? He was right and saved us money...where do you get service like that? We would go back time after time...a little bit of Greece under the arches 😀

Perfection in every way. Service and food was top notch.

Excellent again ! as every time we’v been has been.

always loved it in Zorba. Well looked after and the food is always fantastic

Staff were very friendly & attentive with great Greek atmosphere & lovely food. Third visit here will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing. Food was gorgeous and service was excellent. Would certainly recommend.

Authentic feel. Plenty of choice on the menu. Lots of veggie, gluten free, dairy free options and plenty for the meat eaters too.

Lovely friendly place! Great food and loved the mythos beer

Always a pleasure to visit this place. Food and service consistently good. The host Nadeem always has a lovely treat in store when you finish your meal... Delicious orange cake and baklava. My favourite little restaurant in town, beats the chains hands down.

We really enjoyed our meal and , having visited the Greek islands several times, we found it very authentic. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We will definitely return.

A very tasty meal and great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem. I am looking forward to returning in the future.

A hidden gem in Chelmsford. Small but cosy. Lovely staff and fantastic food. We were really pleased when the staff (probably the owner) was honest enough to let us know that we ordered too much. He explained how certain dishes were similar to others and recommended us to change/ cancel certain orders. We enjoyed our meal from start to finish. Desserts and Greek coffee were apparently complimentary! The bakvala was home made! Highly recommend this place. Will be coming back!

We had a great time, food was amazing, I had the chicken souvlaki which I loved, big portions!! And our server was great also. Great valentines dinner 😊

After a recent visit to zorba and a not so warm welcome. The starter was fine, Taramasalata with olives and pitta bread, but not enough bread, so had to ask for more.,we had chicken and lamb souvlaki which was untasteful ,the meat did not taste like it was charcoaled,and was not even warm,salad was ok and the chips were just about eatable,not a good experience and would not eat there again

Very cosy restaurant, good food and atmosphere. First time to visit, but won’t be the last. The staf& were very helpful and friendly. Good night with company.

Don't be put off by the outside, there is a warm welcome and a fantastic atmosphere inside. The food was really good and authentic. We will certainly be returning.

Little gem for a taste of Greece, hospitailty and food excellent , first visit and will def go back and very soon. Until next time.

We had a wonderful time yesterday evening. We were celebrating my husbands birthday. The service was very attentive, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant is inside a make shift Market. Free shot of ouzo, and dessert. The roof was made of a plastic bag. Veggies should avoid.

Fabulous food and very friendly staff. Love this place and can’t wait to return again soon. Highly recommend the meze, especially if you’re not sure what to order or fancy trying a bit of everything.

Excellent food, really friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Oh and the orange cake! X x x x x x x x x x x

First time there and very pleasant, it’s decor lands it’s self to the Greek style and reminds you of the Cypriot tavernas, the staff are very friendly, and accommodating. Also got complementary desert to share.

Fabulous food and atmosphere and the staff genuinely care about their customers. We’ll definitely be returning soon. If you want a better Greek night, you’ll need to travel to Greece!

Food very good and excellent service. Definitely returning. Good choice of food including starters and main courses. Nice atmosphere and the restaurant is very clean and tastefullly decorated.

Fabulous food, atmosphere and decor. Make sure you visit, I guarantee you will not be disappointed its a wonderful evening out. Thoroughly recommed the Meze, you could be on holiday. Enjoy

I love this place - authentic and cheerful little taverna serving yummy food in a friendly atmosphere. The spanakopita and courgette fritters were particularly good. I would definitely go back!

The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The owner and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend it and return again soon.

Very nice atmosphere and friendly quick service , reasonably priced and even a dessert thrown in, convenient to park , would recommend and would go back soon

Amazing place. Lovely food, and so much of it, authentic atmosphere, plus the owner and staff could not do enough for us. A real gem of a find.

The manager was so attentive and friendly despite how busy they were. He laughed and joked with us and with it being my mums birthday and us celebrating my pregnancy, he gave us a free shot of ouzo and some complimentary desserts. The food was unreal and my only complaint was that my stomach was not big enough to fit all of the food into it because it was absolutely delicious with huge portions. Reasonably priced for good quality food. We’ve made a pact as a family to return once a month because it was an absolutely brilliant evening!

Such a beautiful little Greek restaurant! Amazing food, wine, atmosphere, staff! Perfect little gem in the middle of Chelmsford. New favourite restaurant! Can’t recommend enough.

Good Food, Really nice helpful staff, We had a lovely evening, all enjoyed our visit we will certainly visit again. Also had takeaway which is also very good

Quirky restaurant, welcoming owners and delicious authentic food, service is fast enough to pop by before the theatre and just a short walk - I would completely recommend
