Zorba Meze & Grill — Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

Visited for Lunch but very disappointed 😔 No one didn’t ask how was our meal was they didn’t want any feedback I guess they didn’t care. It wasn’t a friendly atmosphere I felt very strange and uncomfortable.always get disappointed whenever I go out for Turkish restaurants they just don’t get it right as I from south east of Turkey I know foods culture it’s just not the same considering so many Turkish restaurants in the UK. They just don’t put a lot of effort into food and love and care for more concerned about charging more not satisfaction of customers of loyalty more on quantity rather than qualities such a shame. TripAdvisor’s comments I think misleading specially the website with different prices? Warning prices different when you get there??? When I booked on the website they had different prices when I got to the restaurant prices was up different more expensive that’s misleading and Breaking the law advertising different prices… Set menu for 2 wasn’t worth the money £44 you have to choose five starters that could be hot and cold. 2 pieces borek 2 pieces calamari a small plate of aubergine was okay.small plate of houmous was a okay good size Lamb liver it was plain didn’t have any flavour. Set menu for 2 people platter 3 pieces very small chicken wings 2 pieces lamb Shish kebab 4 pieces chicken Shish kebab 2 lamb chops and 3 pieces Lamb ribs. I would prefer to have more in lamb ships rather than 4 pieces chicken shish? would a prefer more in lamb Shish instead of to many chicken Shish but they’re clever because chicken is cheaper than lamb and lamb more expensive that’s why they tried to give you less on lamb and more in chicken Shish. Normally in our culture when we asked for a bill in Turkish restaurants will ask you if you like to have a hot drink tea or maybe some Turkish delight with the bill or maybe bring some deserts nothing it was just a Bill presented they couldn’t offer us a tea but as a I have more dignity and moral have left a £4 tip just to show them a we are more generous than they are? Remember Think out of the box and if you give you will...

Came for a double date night with my partner and our friends, as they highly recommended Zorba.

We got there much earlier than them and thought we would have some cheeky starters. We had the spicy chicken wings, and the halloumi fries.

Wings were a bit too hot for my partner, bit just right for me, and had a mint garnish which went really well with the heat. The fries were done very well and had a good balance of the batter and cheese. It was served with a chilli dip and side salad which complimented it well.

For mains I had a moussaka as I hadn't had one in ages, was very meaty and very good strong flavours, I like mine a little more creamier but I can't complain as all the flavours were very well balanced and more cream may have ruined it.

For dessert I had a raspberry sorbet. Probably one of the nicest sorbets I've had. The texture was almost like a mousse. It was served with some berries and a white chocolate drizzle. Very good raspberry flavour too.

Service was a little slow for me, but it was fairly busy so it can be forgiven.

Overall very pleasant experience, definitely want to try the mixed grill next time as that...

Disappointing, to say the least.

We went there for a family meal today. The waitress who started looking after us was impolite. She seemed annoyed; probably as vegetarian healthy eaters, our order wasn't big enough for her liking. Though the bill came to £50 for only a few mezzes by the way! Someone started looking after us; the manager I believe. He was better but frankly, the mannerism that you'd expect in a restaurant didn't come close! In spite of not a good experience, I said thank you to this waitress on our way out, she didn't even respond. Poorly educated staff is a NO NO for me! It is unacceptable; that is it.

Now the food. Having lived in the Middle East for 10 years, I have never tasted such poor quality food. The mezzes were plain. The hummus at Aldi is of better quality! The bread wasn't even fresh. You'd expect at least some fresh Arabic bread in such a place.

I would advise these people to go to the Midfle East and have some cookery lessons, as well as etiquette to how to interact and treat customers. Politeness is certainly not their strength.

Do not waste your...
