Zorbas recently catered an office lunch for over 30 people, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The manager (or possibly the owner) was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process—he offered thoughtful menu suggestions, helped estimate the right quantities, and made everything feel effortless.
The food presentation was beautiful, and the quality of the dishes was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our entire team was impressed—everyone enjoyed the meal and had nothing but compliments.
Highly recommend Zorbas for any event—professional, delicious, and truly a pleasure to work with!- Price per person

Thank you so much. And I’m very happy that you all enjoyed it and you were pleased with our food and services.🙏🙏🙏
Stopped in the Arndale Market for some lunch. We settled on a chicken gyros from Zorbas as it’s one of our favourite cuisines. The food was prepped in front of us, and was hot and fresh and delicious. The staff were really friendly too and we would recommend trying this option for lunch!

Not the first time I’ve been here, I’ve eaten here plenty of times. I highly HIGHLY recommend the Chicken Pistachio, it’s amazing. The roasted Salmon is top notch. Definitely a highlight of the Arndale food market.

We ordered Chicken and Mushroom stew (it came with rice) and Gyros Salad. Both meals were delicious! Very well seasoned and nicely presented. The gentleman who served us was lovely and very friendly.

Fantastic food from fantastic people! I’ve come here almost everyday for over a year and all the choices are always amazing. I’ve had just about everything on the menu and it never disappoints. I would highly recommend. All the staff are also very friendly and service is super quick if you are short on time

Excellent food, the fruity rice is the best rice I've had, especially with the creamy sauce and chicken.

We have been coming to Zorba's for years and it's always a family favorite! All the dishes are tasty but the chicken spinach is our favorite. The portion sizes are great, me and my daughter often split a meal. The team there are always really friendly.

Had my first Zorbas about 10 years ago and it’s still as good as it was the first time. I love the chicken and spinach so much and always try to figure out the ingredients when I eat it so I can try to make at home. Haven’t tried anything else cos I can’t not order it when I go. Thanks for lots of years of lovely food ☺️🥙

I have been coming to Zorbas for nearly twenty years now! The food is better than most sit down restaurants, it’s truly one of my favourite places to eat. I have brought along and introduced many friends to it over the years and it’s always well-received! Even when I promote it, it still exceeds their expectations. I hope to continue to visit for many more years.

This place is absolutely amazing—worth every single penny! The food is phenomenal, and the host is incredibly warm and welcoming. Honestly, it's some of the best Iranian food you'll find in town! The portions are generous, and every bite is bursting with flavor. Highly recommend!

A Timeless Gem in Arndale Market I used to eat at Zorbas in 2011-12, and revisiting today was a nostalgic treat. The Chicken and Spinach dish tasted exactly as I remembered—delicious and satisfying. Zorbas remains one of the best spots in Manchester city center for flavorful, authentic food. The staff are friendly, and the service is great. Highly recommend!
