The Fat Greek Taverna - Worthing

I really hate writing bad reviews but this was so disappointing. We booked for my sons 15th birthday who loves Greek food. The first thing my husband noticed (who was a chef for may years) when we arrived was the vibrating sound of the filtration system, which is not a good sign as it means they are greased up. We were shown to our table and the menus were not very clean. Normally a warning sign to go elsewhere but as it was my sons birthday we did not want to disappoint and stayed. The starters were okay, I shared sardines with my son and my husband had calamari. The mains though were below par, my husbands lamb kleftiko came in a bowl full of oil and unpleasant to eat, although the lamb was cooked well. My wrap was okay but the chips on the side had no presentation it looked like they had emptied the bottom of the chip basket onto my plate. I like a few crispy bits but not an entire plate of oil laden ones! The boys (teenagers) enjoyed their food but the portion sizes were ridiculous meaning they could only eat about a quarter of what was on their plate. I know some people love huge portions but personally we would rather half the portions, twice the quality and priced accordingly instead of the food waste. Equally it tasted like the oil everything was cooked it was not that clean. Not cheap as well for a fairly unpleasant meal at £125 for 4 of us. In a cost of living crisis there is a lot of competition out there and going out to eat is a luxury which makes it so depressing when you do and go away feeling let down. Attention to detail and just upping standards would go a long way here. We will not be returning sadly.

We popped in for the lunch menu, great relaxed place for lunch I had a bottle of Keo and the Meze and it was delicious the rest of the table had Gyros also very much enjoyed.

The Fat Greek Tavern is situated in the centre of Worthing. It is a large restaurant serving Greek meals. There are full menus and lunch time menus. The food when delivered is hot with good size portions. The staff are very friendly with a good sense of humour. They are also knowledgeable and efficient. The restaurant is very clean with plenty of room between the tables, which are both inside and outside.

Lovely lunch here, always good with very friendly staff. Great menu but the £10 lunch option is so good with lots of choice and big portions. Food was flavoursome.

I always enjoy coming here because the staff are so friendly and the food is pretty good! Nice that they have vegan options but would be great to have a couple more, I usually go for the vegan gyros and it’s pretty tasty. Yummy hummus. It’s a nice spot for Greek food in Worthing!
