    we read the reviews and were scared but it was pretty good, took over 30 mins to arrive tho. the margarita pizza was the most cheesy and delicious pizza i’ve ever eaten from this establishment, i was pleasantly surprised with the amount of cheese on this bready base. The cheese wrapped itself around the bands of my braces making it very hard to open my mouth, and the smell of the cheese penetrated my nasal tubes, which made me tingle and my heart blossom, after i finished the pizza i felt a sense of fulfilment and a sense of nostalgia, missing the summers day of swimming in the canal with my good pal lucy( she beat me and she drowned lol rip), this cheese pizza is awesome! the chips were good too the popcorn chicken was tasty but could have been crispier the peri peri chicken was exquisite, very filling, very juicy and very saucy. the sauce infiltrated the chips which made me feel queasy in a good way, maybe you should invest in some forks as i had a hard time eating this with my fingers overall would defo come again, and maybe collect to see the beautiful people that are making my order!! we got a free garlic bread, how can i describe this freebie.

    Ordered a mixed grill kebab salad separate, chicken tikka in a tray, pizza base with just cheese and fries. My friend was having the kebab. Generally she isn't a fussy eater but she drew the line with the beef as in her words "It's still walking" my pizza was cold. Now we decided to ring up and let them know. They said they would replace the kebab providing it wasn't eaten, well no it wasn't eaten as the beef was "Still walking" They hung up on us. My friend rang them back again. Myself I was eating my chicken tikka and bit into what felt like rubber automatically stopped and looked at it it was not cooked through was pink and had blood in it. We told the lad on the phone and his response was "I know the chicken was cooked you're taking the p#ss and hung up again. Now in over 20 years of using Zorba i have never complained, but today was just another level, between being hung up on and swore at I have to say I'm extremely disappointed and angry at the response to what was a simple complaint. I have taken pictures of the bloody meat . Will tub it, freeze it to preserve it and speak to EHO with regards to this.

    It's hardly award winning I'm sure. All I got from here was a large donna kebab with salad and garlic sauce for £5.70. Now normally a large comes on a naan bread from where I come from but this came on a pita bread. I'd think twice before ordering a small because it might just be on normal bread! Anyway, apart from the size it looked decent but that was until I tasted it. I think its the garlic sauce or something but it just had this taste like vinegar. I didn't particularly enjoy it and ate only half. I'd have to be really hungry before I'd eat from here again. The reviews others have left leave much to be desired and it astounds me why Zorba's and others with bad reviews don't take heed and improve. The photographs of their food you can view on their website are clearly professional photographs that have been taken of somebody else's food and not Zorba's. Enough said.

    Ordered food off website at at about 23:53. Website say they were open and taking orders. At about 01:00 tried ringing the store as there was no sign of my order and no contact beyond an email confirming receipt of it, despite ringing several times there was never any answer. Will be chasing up for refund, will amend review based on my experience.

  • 5/5 Kathryn w. 11 months ago on Google
    Apna pizza, chef's special kebab, side order of chips and onion rings, perfect! We are very fussy, and we LOVE Zorbas food. We are in a difficult location but they phone for directions when needed to make sure our food arrives hot and fresh..

  • 1/5 Lukas C. 10 months ago on Google
    Burger was wrong, didn’t get my free garlic bread, when rang up they was rude and refused us a garlic bread and delivered a burger which was dry and cold and took the old burger of us when half eaten. Wont order again

    It was first time and the last we ordered from The New Zorba. Grilled doner kebab was burned and disgusting. About half of it endup in the bin as I had to pick the least burned pieces. From my point of view it was old doner meat grilled/burned to avoid waste. Why would I think it was old not just burned, as I just had 4th trip to toilet since this morning and I was forced to take half day off work. Thank you. Other food ordered wasnt that bad but no great. Never again!!

    Driver “couldn’t” find my address and when I rung they were rude and dismissive and on top of that I got food poisoning from the food which I didn’t think would be possible because usually this place is quite good will not be ordering again

  • 5/5 Talulah L. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect in every way 👌 the nicest I've had and always service with a smile 😃

  • 2/5 Aliyu Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't like the donner kebeb served to me, the meat tasted awful as if it is stale!

  • 5/5 Brendon A. 2 years ago on Google
    I've had pizza in at least 7 different countries (including 3 or 4 cities in Italy) and this... This was possibly the best pizza I've ever had. I can't even comprehend it. Would definitely go out of my way to get this again.

  • 1/5 East lancs slackliner B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not very nice kabab for the price not enough filling as it was fully loaded with salad. Also a takeaway to avoid they charge you for the No options which means a plain kabab will end up costing the same as a fully loaded one 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • 3/5 mark c. 1 year ago on Google
    The most honest review I could give was 3 star for their pizza, it was delicious. I also got a chicken kebab which was like trying to chew a rubber duck that has been at the fair waiting to be hooked for twenty years, salad was fresh though. If you make pizza like that all the time you don't need to make anything else.

    Ordered through Just Eat and almost a third of the order wasn’t delivered. When phoning to complain had the phone hanged up on us. After 3 hours we were told that if we deleted our negative review on Facebook we’d get the food. It never arrived. After deleting the review. The food that DID arrive was subpar - either undercooked or entirely inedible. I phoned them to let them know they can’t refuse to send something paid for unless a review was deleted. The law doesn’t work that way. They said they could handle trading standards and didn’t want to spend the night arguing over an order they’d messed up. Like I said, we never received the food we ordered. We agreed to delete the Facebook review, but nothing about Google, and since the food never arrived I feel like I’m not tied to the agreement made over the phone. Enjoy your food if you get it. If they tell you that you can’t have the food unless you delete a negative review find a way around it. Can’t help but feel it’s the only way they’re going to receive negative reviews since they’re “lucky so many loyal customers support them, regardless” (their words, not mine).

    Ordered a chicken kebab with salad and chilli and garlic sauce , tray of donner meat , tray of salad , tonight , and it was best we have ever had. Everything was delicious and fresh, compliments to your chef , and delivery was spot on . Will def be using only zorbas now in the future.

  • 1/5 Tracy J. 2 years ago on Google
    The new Zorba forget something every time we order and we end up having to wait up to an additional hour for them to complete the order. Wouldn't mind if the food was great but it is hit and miss at best. Not recommended!!

  • 2/5 Ryan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Soggy food. Not much effort put in. Try harder

  • 1/5 Patricia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Disappointing normally the food from zorbies is excellent but this time it was awful..... £24.00 it's cost us tonight cheesy chips were cold asked for large chicken kabad was very tuff and dry and donner kabad again not fresh hardly any salad....

  • 2/5 Rizwan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Got a free pizza on top of the stuff crust but from there it went downhill... the pizza was falling off the crust and was under cooked. The chicken fillet burger no way near consistent to your regular chicken shop like a dixy.. this tasted like a mix between chicken and fish thing it was a frozen breast in the burger.. ordered spicy sizzler and was plain and bland.. the tub of chilli sauce had so much mint in there. Chips youd expect to get soggy it was 4 miles away so not going to question the late delivery by 10 mins either -the driver was great... however in general poor food quality. Loads of areas of improvement unfortunately wont be returning back..
