Mark Petrou - Winner of Fish and Chip Shop of the Year 2006 - Comments on Zorbas koupas and bourekia

   Being half Cypriot has given me a privileged life. Spending time in Cyprus blesses you with a wealth of tastes and memories of unrivalled hospitality that are second to none. This has helped me to focus my business philosophy and operation to drive me to the very top.
   Zorbas in the UK gives me an opportunity to sell a truly authentic new range of products. They remind me of happy days and will give you new additions to your menu that will be both easy to produce and virtually impossible to make at home. Once hooked, your customers will keep coming back for more.
The large mince "koupas" in my opinion ticks every box for what I am looking for in a new product to make it on to my menu.
Firstly and most importantly - it tastes great! Being portable and hand held it suits peoples "on-the-go" lifestyles and belongs on any takeaway menu.

   It's a simple product to sell - I just ordered the smaller size buffet style koupas and gave some to my customers to try and that was it.... instant customer base.
   Other features that made it attractive to me rather than my customers was that there is no waste, quick and simple to cook, extremely long display life and good profit margins - not only that, but the vegetarian version tastes almost identical to the mince version. The real clincher though was that none of my competitors are selling koupas yet and my customers cannot compare my prices to anyone else.
   Bourekia to me will always be a sweet or savoury treat! Whether you've a sweet tooth or not, you cannot describe the delicate textures and flavours as anything less than moorish. Challenge any man, woman or child to only eat one and you’re guaranteed to win. There is a bourekia flavour for every taste and offer real potential that could make them a really exciting addition to your menu.
