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!
This is a great option for lunch for the businesses in the area. I love the Chicken Pita, Been 4 times and always have the same thing. Service is quick and friendly. Food is great and ambience perfect for lunch.
I have come here a few times and every time it was been very simple to order but have had to wait a while for my food to be ready.
The fitout of the restaurant is very nice and clean and it is a part of the Sapporium complex in Rosebery.
The food is tasty and filling and it's nice to have a quick non fast food option to go to when all you want is a Gyro.
A nice, relaxed and casual restaurant. The service was friendly and we received our food quite quickly after ordering. We ordered the Otto Chicken Pita, the Falafel Pita and Yia Yia's Chips on the side. The Chicken Pita included sweet chili sauce and caramelised onions giving it a nice touch to the flavour. The chips were very fresh, and were not oily at all. Menu prices are decent and there is a great selection to choose from.

The Zeus chain has expanded rapidly in Sydney & here it is in a funky warehouse space with very chilled service. It's upmarket street food & all are very tasty although the boys do complain it is on the small side & not enough meat in the gyros. The various meats were all tasty & I like the soft chewiness of the bread. The chips topped with fetta are delicious as is the Greek Donuts with nutella to finish the meal.
Zeus @ Rosebery has become a local hero for many who want an almost healthy option for lunch or dinner. Perfect for a sit down dinner, a quick bite or even a take away, they are quick and easy yerros to devour on the go.
Zeus have taken an old Greek classic and added a few new ingredients to suit the Australia market. We have visited Zeus over a dozen times and have tried everything on the menu. All the Pita’s are great especially the Uncle Tzimmy, Papou Niko and the Hermes. The Feta chips and the Dip Tria are a must and to end your meal try the Homemade Honey Loukoumades which are delicious.
If you’re looking for an even healthier option try the Nudes which are hot pots with 250g of the meat of your choice. Its all cut up with a sauce of your choosing and lemon. Paired with a traditional Greek salad this meal is deliciously refreshing and healthy.
The price is the only hindrance on what is otherwise a great meal. The yerros, whilst delicious, are on the small side, most people would need more than one and at $13 each they are not value for money. They are quality over quantity in this case.
Came here on our last night in Sydney, delighted to say it was a last dinner spent well! Ordered the Lamb Uncle Tzimmy Pita, and was not disappointed. Lamb was cooked very well and Pita bread was soft and fresh; very enjoyable! Had an arrange of sides and other meals at the table with everyone leaving happy and satisfied! Very good place to visit! Wish we had something like this back in New Zealand!
I had nice lunch here; ordered chilli wrap and beer. Chilli wrap was spicy enough and chicken was tender and well marinated. Well priced and food was delivered promptly. Ill come back to try more dishes next time!
Food was surprisingly good for a fast food style outlet. The lamb was tender and tasty, pita bread was fluffy and warm and all deep fried stuff were juicy on the inside while crunchy on the outside.
One thing we did not like was the Sunday surcharge but it was redeemed by a free serve of loukoumades.
Ordered via app their spit roast (that came with pita bread, tzatziki dip, lemon), Spartan bowl (chose fish, pilaf and salad as sides and tartare sauce). All were tasty. Ordered their wraps a few times and our favourite is their Apollo. The mustard mayo goes so well with the fillings.
One of the best wraps ever w haloumi and olive tapenade and fresh salad. Will be going again and trying more of the menu. Want to try more of tgeir main lamb and chicken items.Nice ambience too, very indoor/outdoor and relaxed.
Kind of Greek meets casual uber healthy menu. Yum!
Good little eatery with a friendly ambience. Great place to catch up with friends or family. Good service. We had the Zeus lamb Pitta and the Camino Fish Pitta and they were good. Their hot chips are great too.
Happy to go back there again.
Friendly service and good food. Prices are a little on the expensive side for a casual dining restaurant /takeaway. There a huge outdoor seating area and they are pretty good with turning the heating on. There are a lot of heaters too so you don't have to worry about getting cold in the autumn / winter. During summer the outdoor seating area is really nice for enjoying good and the great weather.
