Having taken the country by storm with its heathy and nutritionallybalanced Greek-inspired food, Taka Taka is now looking for UK franchisees
Taka Taka is a fast-growing chain of Greek street food restaurants in the UK. It is a fast, casual brand that has seen immense success with its healthy and nutritionally-balanced approach to traditional gyros, souvlaki and pita wrap. Taka Taka’s food is not just inspired by authentic Greek food, it’s as close as you’ll get from outside Greece. From the gyros meats to marinade and olive oil, Taka Taka’s signature provisions are sourced directly from Greece.
Why Taka Taka?
The Greek and Mediterranean menu is one of the healthiest in the world and this blends in well with the growing trend for healthy and vegetarian-based food. This exactly sums up Greek street food and the reason why it is placed second or third (depending on survey) in the list of most popular street food.
Taka Taka has been in the business for over 25 years now and is still making and selling the highest quality of healthy Greek/ Mediterranean food very profitably.
Greek street food is part of an industry worth around £19 billion which means Taka Taka’s potential is vast. The brand has served its apprenticeship over these 25 years running its own restaurants in the UK, and before that, in Corfu. Taka Taka has made mistakes and matured through broken nails and gritty determination, becoming a very profitable business and looking forward to moving to the next step of its expansion – franchising.
The secret ingredient
Taka Taka offers a sincere and honest Greek hand – come and see, smell, touch and taste Taka Taka – and you will be impressed.
The freshness and quality of food are what make all the difference – from the hand-made pita bread directly from Greece and the Corfu-sourced olive oil, through to the high-quality meat with 95 per cent fillet, down to the smallest details such as the feta cheese, yoghurt and halloumi, freshly delivered to the Taka Taka stores daily. Taka Taka is all about bringing the Mediterranean to its own restaurants and delivering the same taste that you would get from a small village in Greece. Over recent years, Greek cuisine has soared in popularity – alongside its ever-popular Italian and Spanish counterparts, food lovers have immersed themselves in all that Greek dishes have to offer.
As IBISWorld data reveals, the UK’s takeaway and fast food market is worth around £19 billion right now. It’s a whopping industry, which has grown exponentially in demand since the pandemic.
