The Greek way to dine

Our Special Meze

Five rounds. A table full of Greek favourites. And absolutely no need to rush.

Come hungry, bring good company and experience Greek dining the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Eat. Share. Talk. Repeat.

More than a meal

So, what exactly is Meze?

The word Meze — pronounced “meh-ZEH” — simply means a taste or a bite. But around a Greek table, it means much more than that.

Meze brings a variety of small dishes to the table gradually, turning dinner into a slow, relaxed experience made for sharing with friends and family.

At Zorba, our Special Meze is served across five rounds, combining cold and hot dishes, traditional cheeses, Mezedes, sausages and charcoal-grilled meats.

“Good food, good company and plenty of time around the table — the Greek way.”

Grab a fork and take a seat.

Meze & Greek beer. Perfect partners.

A table full of Greek food deserves something properly Greek alongside it. Pair your Meze with a chilled Greek beer and raise a glass to good food and good company.

Made for sharing.

If choosing just one dish sounds impossible, Meze lets the table try a little bit of everything.
