  • On this visit, which was the first time to Zorba's, I ordered the vegetarian platter $10.99 which consists of hummus, babaganouj, 3 dolmas, 3 falafel, tahini, tzaziki and 2 pitas. Also included: saffron rice, greek salad, lemon roasted potatoes, and vegetable of the day. Husband ordered the lamb souvlaki plate $12.99, medium. While the lamb was very tender and juicy, it was cooked well done. We also tried the greek fries (feta and greek dressing) $3.99. This was a great choice. Very light dressing to help the feta stick to the fries, but not swimming in sauce or grease. MUST TRY. I was very satisfied with the portions in relation to the price. Right where it should be. While the hummus and babaganouj were tasty, I would love to taste more "smokiness" in the baba. That may be a personal preference. The dolmas were not slimy or squishy which is a common issue when ordering this item at Greek restaurants. The pita was warm, soft and presented beautifully on the plate. As well as beautiful presentation, I was pleased that the salad served was not drenched in oily dressing, which can be another cooking mistake. It was lightly dressed yet satisfying and flavorful. Adding a couple lemon slices on the side would be a great addition. The lemon potatoes were perfectly cooked, yet lacked any real lemon flavor. I myself have tried making these at home and I believe the trick is to cook the potatoes about 75% of the way, then marinate in lemon juice overnight. When you cook the remaining 25% on a pan in the oven, you can REALLY taste the lemon. Nevertheless, I think Zorba's is a great find. Service was adequate. I say this because we had 3 different employees tending to us. This approach lacks personalization in my opinion. Overall, I would definitely come back to Zorba's. A "happy hour" discount on the platters or apps would be great! Zorba's also offers pizzas and pastas, which caught me off guard at first. None of these have a Greek twist or flavor. I would love to see a Greek pizza (gyro or lamb meat, feta, onions, peppers, tzaziki sauce or some such variation). Lastly, the decor and setting were comfortable and welcoming. Very nice! I am rating at 4 stars because there is a little room for improvement.
