Zeus Street Greek
This is casual dining where you order at the counter then take your seat inside or maybe enjoy dining al fresco on the balcony. There are new options such as the Spartan Box. These are portions of protein, rice and veg which is the Spartan description as the tastier description is a choice of Zeus’s signature chicken, lamb or pork served with Aegean slaw, tzatziki and pilaf.
Here is a look at the new dishes.
Pita Bread, Beetroot Hummus
To start, the Pita Bread ($3 for 2) is made in house and is light but do not fill up here as there is more on the menu. The Beetroot Hummus ($6.50) is a classic hummus with the flavour of the roasted beetroot at the right intensity.
Feta Filo Fingers
These tasty Feta Filo Fingers ($9.50) are a combination of sweet and savoury with feta wrapped in filo pastry then drizzled with honey and sesame. The pastry is light, the filling generous with the honey, a staple in the Greek islands, adding sweetness.
