Greek cuisine is often underrated, and Zorba The Greek Taverna is looking to fix that one customer at a time.

Their Prawn Satay and their 150 – Day Grain – Fed Beef Satay (both served with a rich and spicy peanut sauce) are crowd favourites, so go on and give them a try. Oh, and they also have an enviable collection of cocktails too, our favourite being the Baba Negroni.
