ZORBA THE GREEK DERBY REVIEWS

Went on a Saturday night as a group of 6. The staff were amazing, the food was so good!!! The place was full and you could see everyone enjoying their meal. We got a free dessert at the end as an added bonus. 100% will be returning.

Warm welcome, table was ready, drinks order taken as soon as we arrived. Food delicious the portions are very large. Waiters readily available but not intrusive. They patiently explained some of the dishes to those in our party who hadn't been before. 5 people had starters and mains with beer, wine, soft drinks and bottled water for less than £150 including 10% service charge.

Brilliant restaurant! The food was really delicious, serving sizes are very generous, and the menu wasn’t too big - which I love because sometimes too many options can be a bit overwhelming! The service was fantastic, our waitress was super attentive and everything came quickly.

KAYI MEZZE & GRILL REVIEWS

We had an incredible experience at this authentic restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Each dish was carefully prepared, capturing the essence of Syrian cuisine. The service was impressive,attentive, and friendly. The interior decor was beautifully done. We enjoyed every moment here and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience genuine Syrian hospitality and flavors.

My first experience here was highly enjoyable. Really nice interior and ambience to place could see my food being grilled. Food was seasoned, flavourful and came out hot. Waitresses were lovely and had a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Will definitely be back here!

Delicious food and excellent service!!! Highly recommend! My friend and I visited after a local alpaca walk, we were made to feel incredibly welcome and ordered three starters and a mixed grill to share as a main meal, the presentation was exceptional and the food was a taste sensation! We ordered a baklava which we paired with a portion of ice-cream to share as dessert, oh my gosh - absolutely delightful!!! We were informed by the host that the ice-cream was made by hand at the restaurant and quality of our sweet was the icing on the cake of our dining experience. Though not from the area, i would travel there again just to eat that food and treat my friends!!! If you like Mediterranean food this restaurant will not disappoint.

VILLA EXPRESS REVIEWS

Omg! The food is absolutely banging. Had the chicken and beef plate and despite not eating all day and starving the portion filled me up and then some. Totally worth every penny and will definitely come back again!

Delicious, fresh plates served with a smile and at a very reasonable price . Highly recommend! The salads are particularly enjoyable and I loved their falafel and hummus plate.

Fresh ingredients. Food tastes amazing and very filling. Great value for money. Will definitely go again and definitely recommend you try these.
