Lovely space, friendly service and reasonable price. Initially we thought that the tapas approach would mean small portions but actually they were a reasonable size. In fact, it was strangely one of the reasons why we only rated it 4* because the waiters convinced us to overorder.
The place was full and we were also a little uncomfortable with the proximity of the tables and waiters. We would have preferred waiters to wear masks.
We wanted to try it for Greek food and had a variety of options. The Greek salad could have done with more olives and a little more seasoning. The squid was tender and lovely taste. The sweet and sour chicken was very well done, glazing lovely and the sauce was surprisingly good to be mopped up by the pita bread. The lamb was a little bland. But without doubt the highlight was the gyros. Well served, filling and afterwards we saw who the regulars were: they shared a Greek salad and had a gyros each. Only suggestion: a little more tzatziki sauce which was lovely, to permeate the entire gyros.
All in all, a very good and reasonable priced evening that would have been even cheaper if we had not ordered so much food (we did take away but it's not the same warming...
Read moreMy first visit at Cuzina was a culinary experience through all evening.
I had opportunity to try lots of dishes from set menu, all of them were absolutely delicious and full of flavour. My favourite was mixed dips platter (houmous, tzatziki, melitzanosalata and tirokafteri), bacon halloumi, sesame sweet chilli chicken and rustic chips with melted feta and tomato. The best was definitely beef stifado. I was a bit disappointed about grilled marinated chicken and pork souvlaki as they were a bit tasteless and dried. The portions were enormous and staff offered us takeaway boxes to take rest of the food home.
Great choice of drinks, wine, cocktails and mocktails.
The staff was professional, attentive to all requests, especially the allergy information, very friendly.
The decor is simple but with taste, all in Mediterranean style which is lovely touch. There are tables insides, stools at the bar and some tables outside too.
The only thing I missed was a bit of atmosphere despite lovely decor. The music was a little too loud and a little bit too pop to give this place a bit of Mediterranean feeling. I would advise to play some...
Read moreBeen living in West Bridgford for years and only went to Cuzina for the first time today. We normally like fine dining but as we were a big group (9) and left it to the last minute, everywhere that was our first choice was fully booked. I was so impressed by Cuzina! Although the location isn’t the prettiest, the restaurant was clean and beautiful and surprisingly big - something you wouldn’t expect when you look at it from the outside. The food was delicious - nothing like I expected. I thought it would be like a turkish or Indian restaurant. It was nothing like it. We ordered a big variety from the menu as there were so many of us, and I can honestly say, everyone enjoyed their food. The meat was succulent (we ordered a combination of lamb and chicken dishes), and the other dishes were so tasty. We all left compliments for the chef. The service was amazing too. Well done to them! We’re definitely going to go again, and would highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean food in an elegant...
