Le plus mauvais restaurants dans lequel j’ai mangé en Europe est à Londres et s’appelle Zorbas. Il propose un « menu » composé d’échantillons tellement les portions sont ridiculement petites. La qualité du « repas » servi est bien moins élevée que le sentiment que le cuisinier a de son talent. L’agencement de cette gargote est déplorable : on peut à peine s’assoir et quand on y est arrivé, on peut difficilement se lever tellement il y a de tables et chaises au mètre carré. Côté décoration, les nostalgiques se trouveront à leur aise : tout date des années 70, la saleté et la graisse aussi, la cuisine n’étant pas séparée de la salle. L’endroit est suffisamment sombre et exigu pour qu’on ne puisse pas le noter au premier coup d’œil. Le meilleur est dans le prix : 84 livres pour 2 personnes. Quand on demande des explications, notamment sur le prix du vin qui n’est affiché nulle part, le patron s’emporte très vite et va jusqu’à menacer sa clientèle. J’ai d’ailleurs été surpris – étant les derniers clients (ou victimes) à partir - qu’un de ses employés ferme à clef la porte d’entrée : peut-être a-t-il cru que nous étions plus malhonnêtes que lui et que nous allions partir sans payer. Et bien non, nous payons ses échantillons et sa vinasse qu’il qualifie du meilleur de Grèce prétendant qu’en France nous n’en avons pas d’aussi bons. Effectivement, il y a, en France et partout dans le monde, de très bons vins mais ce vin grec n’en fait pas partie (peut-être est-il d’ailleurs coupé d’eau ?). Comble de malchance, j’étais avec ma compagne allemande et je suis français : nous n’étions pas les bienvenus dans ce « restaurant grec », à l’évidence. Un conseil : n’entrez pas dans cette cantine qui ne vaut même pas d’être évaluée, c’est lui faire trop d’honneurs.

We went with 5 people and ordered 4 dishes, since one in our company is a child. He would share with us. After 1,5 still nothing was ready. One of the waiters said because of the meat; the other said because of the fish. We wanted to go away, but were kind of 'forced' either to stay or take away. We have chosen to take away, mind you : 90 pounds for shitty food.
My advise : stay away from this restaurant. It is expensive, the word service does not mean anything. And the quality of the food : is sucks !!
In the same street there are other places to eat. Each of them better than this no-good restaurant !

It was a beautiful , sunny day and this restaurant has a very good location, near Hyde Park, so, we decided to taste some Greek food.

The Greek music, the big outside windows offering an excellent view,the old paintings showing the white, Greek churches surrounded by the narrow streets around, the good smell coming from the kitchen, brought us nostalgia

We did wait a little bit, but lets be honest, this place provide hand made food, its not a take away Mac Donald, or defrost food.

Everything is brought fresh, from the fish or meat market every day..

Enjoy a taste of Greece in Bayswater, London..

¡¡ Aviso para los españoles que se vayan a hospedar en la zona de Lancaster Gate !!. Ni se os ocurra pisar el restaurante "Zorba Greek Kebab Taverna". Ha sido la peor experiencia de mi vida. Nunca me he sentido tan engañado. El "gerente", que va con gorro y cazadora (normal con el frío que hacía dentro del local) sale a la calle a buscar los clientes que están leyendo la carta. Me tuvieron esperando más de una hora a que me sirvieran el primer plato. Mientras tanto pusieron sobre la mesa un platito con no más de 6 aceitunas que posteriormente me cobraron en la factura, como hacen en Portugal. Los falafel estaban completamente quemados, el kebab de cordero especial consiste en dos pinchitos con 4 trocitos ridículos de cordero cada uno y trocitos de cebolla y pimientos entre medias. El arroz no llegó nunca y en su lugar trajeron patatas asadas (carbonizadas). Cuando mi mujer pedía algún plato (como la moussaka por ejemplo) y el camarero-gerente-comercial decía que no le quedaba, encima nos regañaba por haber llegado tan tarde a cenar (eran las 20:45). El resto de clientes se quejaba continuamente del tiempo que llevaban esperando (dos parejas españolas y una familia italiana) y se burlaban de ellos desde la cocina. El camarero se chupaba los dedos manchados de comida al servir los platos. Total: 55 libras, un auténtico robo aunque no mayor que el que le hicieron a una pareja de San Fernando: 19 libras por 2 cervezas y una ensalada cuando dijeron que se iban, que no esperaban más. La factura debe estar escrita en griego porque no había manera de descifrarla, pero por no liarla decidí pagar. Por lo que pude leer me cobraron los impuestos aparte (en la carta no ponía "no incluidos"), el pan de pita, las aceitunas y la propina. Un atraco en toda regla. No deberían tener licencia de apertura.

The worst restaurant experience ever. Terrible service, rediculous expensive and small portions. I am still very upset I payed the bill. I should just leave. The restaurant is dirty and smelly. DO NOT GO THERE.

I would like to tell that this is the worst restaurant i've ever been in my life,,I was a visitor in london and its really sad when You receive this kind of experience..The Owner is a very shrewd person and is out on the street to invite you in..Once inside they take their own time in serving You..I was told that it's Greek food , but didn't match with any of the Greek food I'd experienced earlier..It was utterly disappointing..I didn't ask for a desert but was served with one..Since I was with my family I didn't want to create a scene there..and finally the bill was wrong to make the matter worse..PLEASE AVOID THIS RESTAURANT..It is better to eat a loaf of bread that to have anything from Zorba...

It's not good at all. Please avoid it!The "restaurant'"s manager is on the street to invite the customers coming inside (I think it is not polite).Anyway, the table service is very slow (I waited at least one hour for eating), the food is nothing special and the price is very very high.PLEASE AVOID IT!

This place should not be licensed. I don't understand how such a bad restaurant is allowed to be in operation. The whole thing is a fraud.
Keep away from this place.

I remember eating here and will never forget the bad service and manners of the manager who must of got out of bed the wrong side, as no one could be that grumpy all their life.
My squid (maybe it was maybe it was not ) has never tasted squid like it, vile with a long black hair underneath it, after complaining another one was bought out after half a hour (they were not even busy) and it was still frozen in the centre.
on to the mains which i never eat as i was served it on a dirty plate,after complaining again the manager was shouting at the waiter in Greek so did not understand what was being said,but i could understand the hand gesture from the manager, i then told him i was not happy and he and his restaurant had ruined what was meant to be a nice night out,i told him i was not paying the full bill and only giving him what i thought it was worth (which was not a lot)
after a bit of shouting from both sides and only after the other two customers backed me up as they was not happy either, we all received a poor 15% of our bills ,and we was all told to get out and not to return( as if we would) my wife and i and the other couple joined us for a lovely meal in a restaurant called Concordia further down the road, which i have to say was the best Italian i have had and the service was great, thank you Concordia x

My wife and I went to eat at Zorbas Saturday night, when we do venture out to eat we expect good service, excellent food,at a reasonable price , decor and ambiance to suit. Zorbas fulfilled none of these requirements, absolutely dreadful, the food was an outrage so much so we paid our £33.00 bill after I had to go to the cash point in the rain because the thier credit card machine was not working and left as damp about Zorbas as we were getting in the car to drive home The meat was cooked early in the day and warmed up skrawny looking cheap bits of lamb neck ends, my wifes Kalamiri(squid) was over cooked, wont mention my chips, I have thrown better away , How do you drink a keo beer from a Sam miguel pint glass? Dissapointingly is the answer. If you order taramousalata, be prepared to drink loads of water or beer, far to salty. I knew I should have ordered pizza delivery at home, Zobas? Is about as greek as my casio watch

My partner and I should have turned tail on entering Zorba Greek Kebab Taverna. Three dishes requested from the limited menu were unavailable, our rice failed to arrive and the price of wine undisclosed. It was not busy, yet service was erratic and slow. The final slap in the face came with the bill when charged for the complimentary pitta breads and four olives. Service charge of £6.50 was also levied.


As my partner and I endeavoured to explain our reluctance to pay the service charge, fellow diners remonstrated over vastly inflated prices and poor value for money. The two-man band running Zorba Greek Kebab Taverna appeared unconcerned - possibly a regular occurrence for them?

Zorba Greek Kebab Taverna has got to be the worst restuarant I have been to yet. The wine list consisted of a verbal red or white, no drinks' list was given.

The food was not expensive for a main course which was good until I saw the serving sizes. They were smaller then I'd expect for a starter.

The service at Zorba Greek Kebab Taverna was appalling and the way the head waiter handled our credit card was disturbing.
