Fancied something different for an evening meal, and came up trumps. Food was great, atmosphere lovely and chilled, service great and some unexpected bonuses at the end. Definitely worth a visit and we hope to return in the near future.

So pleased to have found (and tried) this little gem in the heart of Chelmsford. The restaurant only seats about 30 and although full on Saturday night didn't feel cramped. The service was fantastic - we opted for the Meze which comprised of about 20 same dishes from the menu that were served at intervals. The cold dishes forest and then a gradual feeding to us of the hot food. I can't see that anyone could finish everythingbut it meant we could leave (the few) dishes we weren't as keen on and still leave satisfied. The Orange cake was a great bonus with the Ouzo was the perfect end to our meal. 100%recommend Zorba the Greek as a great place to eat and will be booking my next get together here for sure.
