We got the ‘Papou Niko’ pita - pork, slaw, aioli, caramelised onions and parsley $11. Also the ‘Tzimmy chicken’ pita – chicken, tomato, tzatziki, onion, paprika and chips $11.50. Would have been rated 5 stars if they were more generous with the fillings. Great service and ambiance for a casual feed.
For a taste of Greece (without having to fly there), look no further than Zeus Street Greek. I loved walking into the Rosebery restaurant and seeing an authentic spit roast with meats sizzling and cooking away, leaving a mouthwatering aroma in the room.
I ordered the BYO (Build Your Own) Spartan box where you choose your items to make up your meal, 140grams of meat off the spit (I chose lamb, can't have Greek food without a bit of lamb), with my two sides (aegan slaw and village green salad) and chose of dip, I chose the beetroot hummous. The meat was beautifully marinated in herbs and spices, slightly pink on the middle, and tender and juicy to bite into. The salads were fresh and tasty, the perfect accompaniment.
My dining partner ordered the 'From the Spit' meal which included 200g of flame-grilled meat (chicken) with tzatziki, lemon & pita bread. The chicken was a generous size, and was marinated and well seasoned, again, juicy inside, a chicken dinner winner.
In terms of sides, we couldn't resist ordering a side of the grilled Cypriot halloumi cheese served with lemon and oregano (excellent cheese, can't say no to grilled cheese!) and another side of pita bread.
One thing to note is that the dips that come with these meals are very small pots, I didn't know that they would be such small pots of dip which is why I ordered another side of bread. The dip is just enough to go onto perhaps 1-2 quartered slices of pita (just a warning).
I have been to Greece before, and the food here is just as good as some of the dishes I've had there. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try more dishes off their menu! And as for a chain, well, I'm glad that they have several locations in Sydney!
Note: I dined as a guest of Zeus Street Greek
Although this place is a chain and I have seen Zeus in Westfield's Sydney city; this is the best restaurant of them all. Why because of its ambience and location.
Located in Rosebery in the Cannery Building complex, Zeus offers a great indoor and outdoor space to enjoy.
I have found the waiter service friendly and efficient.
Food wise, I have no complaints. I've read the other reviews and have to disagree. Maybe, there has been a shake up in the kitchen, but there wasn't any reheated food on my plate. My Lamb was cut straight off the rotating spit to my plate.
Each time I've been to the restaurant, now totalling 3 visits, my food has been delicious and very well presented.
As you can see from my pictures, my Spartan Lamb Box was of a good size. The lamb was so tender that it melted in my mouth and the accompanying salads and dips were mouthwatering and healthy.
I love the currently served Beetroot Seasonal Salad.
The Feta Oregano chips are delicious with a generous topping of Feta Cheese.
It is worth downloading the Zeus app and paying in store with it - because every dollar spent is one point towards rewards and discounts on future dining costs.
There you have it! Quick, easy and healthy Greek Street food that is a bit expensive for Greek Street food, but that's how it rolls at Zeus!
