| - I had passed Zorba's for years, not stopping, because my husband is a picky eater. What finally brought us (in) was a Groupon.
This is a family owned and operated business which goes out of their way to make everyone feel welcomed. They absolutely have a following, addressing many patrons by name, and the owner/chef bumped our table twice during dinner.
What I noticed immediately upon entering was the smell of cheese and food. Smells often work against me but I was able to hold it together, and it's important to say my husband noticed nothing. Noticed next, was the hodge-podge decor, not eclectic, but disconnected, old and heavily worn, though the restaurant is clean. So many elements (too many elements) left me feeling uneasy.
Our food was very good!
We started with apps - Spanokopita for me and Greek style chicken wings at our waiter's suggestion for my husband. Very tasty on both accounts and while sized for two, we didn't share.
For dinner I ordered the Gyro and my husband the lamb shank dinner. With lamb shank you just never know, but it was literally fall off the bone tender with great flavor and not too fatty. The dinner also comes with four sides: salad, rice, potatoes, and vegetables...My husband cleaned the plate! My Gyro had plenty of meat and was tasty when taking a few midnight bites, all I could muster after having eaten a man-sized Spanokopita.
Definitely going back, ordering take-out until patio weather.
About the Groupon...we were told we couldn't use it because it was dinner time on a Saturday night. No problem! I feel we received excellent value without it!
