| - I only went to Zorba's a couple times before it closed, and I remember being disappointed with it because I could get much better gyros back home. I had given up on gyros on campus (until I went to niro's but that's another review) but I was willing to give Zorba's another chance when it reopened. Many of my friends thought I was crazy for preferring niro's, so maybe I just remembered wrong?
Well, it was pretty much the same as I remembered. The meat is mediocre, and I feel like you definitely get more for your money at niro's. I do like that they have different sizes so you don't have to get a giant gyro if you're not particularly hungry.
Had I rated Zorba's before coming back, I would have given them four stars. The food isn't bad; I've just had better. But my favorite part of a gyro is the cucumber sauce, and it just wasn't right here. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't it supposed to be thick, white, and yogurty? And nice and cold so you get that contrast between the cold sauce and the warm gyro meat? Well, the sauce here was runny, warm, and almost clear. I don't know, maybe something was just weird when I went, but with Niro's in my backyard (where I know they have the right sauce) and graduation in a month, I doubt I'll be back.
