The atmosphere is casual which is perfect for us, since we are jeans and t-shirt kind of people, and its a family owned place that is always welcoming. We have been eating here since it opened about a year ago, and have not had a bad meal yet. Dave is a fan of gyros, so that's his go-to. They have an incredible platter that comes full of gyro meat, pita, salad (with a GREAT creamy greek dressing), and french fries. You can get the platter with grilled chicken skewers, which I normally indulge in. Let me first tell you about this great dressing. I am a big fan of greek dressing, normally served as a vinaigrette. Well at Zorba's they have this yummy creamy version, which is totally unique and has incredible flavor. I know you have all had french fries more times than probably any other food, but wait until you experience Zorba's fries. They are steak fries cooked perfectly crisp and topped with a heavenly sprinkle of feta cheese. INSANELY GOOD.
My new love at Zorba's is the spanikopita. This is what I had tonight and my mouth is still watering as I think about how great it is. Spanikopita is pretty hit or miss. I am not a huge fan of spinach, but I am a huge fan of fried phyllo dough. Zorba's spanikopita is the best I've ever had because of the spinach, feta, and garlic ratio. Its perfectly balances throughout and is served in a delicious blanket of crispy phyllo. Tonight I feasted on this treat and wanted to share a picture with you all. Enjoy!
Everything at Zorba's is great, but if you only go once let me tell you what you MUST try from appetizer to dessert.
- Appetizers
- Tirosalata: a heavenly whipped feta cheese that you will go crazy over
- Spanikopita: a pillow of delicious flavor
- Main Course
- Platters: gyro, chicken, or spanikopita - each platter is $11 and comes with so much food you will be stuffed
- Dessert
- Tiramisu: a greek spin on this traditional italian dish compares to my mother in law's, and that says a lot!
So, if you are in the area and looking for a great local spot that consistently delivers on flavor, hit up Zorba's. Its a great spot every day of the week. Taking a tip from my friend "The Food Reviewer" - Its definitely a BUY!
