They probably pay to have bad reviews removed there is no way this place will have 4 stars after they no longer have the buffet and prices are ridiculous. The service was always bad but food before was good now it's not worth it just avoid it

Great food and nice atmosphere. You can dine in or takeout. You can order takeout on Postmates. I ordered takeout one night and ate at the restaurant another night with my friend.

They do not serve buffet style anymore but we had a delicious lemon chicken soup, Greek salad & a tasty grilled salmon w rice. Fresh bread too. Everything was very tasty.

Do not come here. They give very small portions and charge you a lot. Go to the Kabob shack down the street which gives bigger portions and just as good.

I look forward to coming back here with family and friends! It was really good! The combo app was my favorite.

By far, the best Greek food I've ever had. The place is so cute and reminds of Greek culture. Moussaka is one of my favorite and had my first taste in Athens Greece. When I came to this authentic restaurant it brought back the memories. All the food that we ordered, hands down it was all delicious. We had chicken souvlaki,beef souvlaki, gyros,Greek salad and pita bread....And dessert baklava And the best part of it, our the service, Kuddos to our server Miriam, great customer service. The owner Aspasia, very down to earth.

Tried a variety of dishes, some not pictured as well.All the food was fresh and Somewhat appropriately priced for the portions given.I wish they had condiments in the table (salt and pepper) since some of the food wasn't too throughly seasoned salt wiseThe service was great, waitress was attentive and stayed on top of everything

Having just come from Europe and visiting Chania many times, my husband and I are SO glad to have found an authentic Greek place here! We do so miss Remezzo's in the Chania harbor, but Zorbas has become our go-to Greek place when we get a craving! Would love to see some good Greek breakfast soon. We will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem I dint see enough people at. ITS DELICIOUS! They used to have a buffet which was better than Vegas but since Covid do large platter dinners for groups. Bring your appetite and friends. I wish I was eating the gyro meat now.??

I’ve been here quite a few times and I have never been disappointed! The food is really delicious and the portions are nice. This was my first time in for dinner And I really liked the menu selection, I ended up getting the Gyro plate and as well as getting the beef skewers, it came with a side of soup. The beer on tap is nice (got a Sculpin). The melted cheese that they Light on fire table side is really fun I will for sure get that again and the hint of fresh lemon on it that they pour on it really makes it taste delicious!

Typically when you're only one of the few places serving a niche product, it's easy to get away with mediocrity. That is not the case at Zorbas. Anyone who knows what you're looking for in Greek food would want to make this their first choice. Their Lamb gyro meat is some of the most well seasoned and delicious that I've tasted even in the Greek Towns of Chicago or Detroit. The food is fresh, light, and loyal to their roots. Make sure to end the meal with the baklava. You'll feel full for days, and that's how you know it's good Greek!

Zorbas is a gem for Greek food in Southern California. It's impossible to decide which was better, the service or the food. It was the best Greek food I have had in a very long time, and who would've thought I'd find in the of taco shop central. It's truly a diamond in the rough. I highly recommend you save some reason for dessert too. I am not a huge fan of cheesecake, but their baklava cheesecake is out of this world. The richness of the cheesecake marries perfectly with the layers of flavor from the baklava. It is neither too rich or too sweet, it's just right. If you are looking for great food service, look no further. Zorbas is your place!

So, let's see. I love this place. I love the whole family. I am really ticked off by some complainer about the buffet being gone. Well, I am actually a buffet fan. Like I make it a point to check all of them, Vieja's, Sycuan, Barona, Harrah's, Pala's, Pachenga, Valley View. I also visit the steak house ones, Greenfield, Texas de Brazil and Agora.So, here is the problem that you people do not understand. Zorba is better than all the Casino buffets if you do not include dessert in your comparison. Way better actually and yet it was priced at 60% of what they charge. This could not and should not have continued to go on.I also am a business owner and I was really worried about Zorba surviving because of how low their prices were.If the buffet was to return from a purely business stand point it should be priced at 70-80 dollars a person, because that is the price for comparable buffets, like the steak houses. Zorba, compared to them have the same ingredients, only significantly better prepared versus the "salt it and put it on fire" recipe that the others have. Now, would people still come for the buffet it the price was hiked up that much ? Probably not, because emotionally it would feel like they are paying a lot compared to what it was before.So, may be the buffet would return one day but at the right price that it deserves which again in 70-80 dollars a person. Instead of complaining that the buffet is gone we should thank the family for providing such good food for such a low price for as long as they could.Finally about the mom. Yes she is a little bit on the rough edge. So what ? She's the mom. Her attitude is actually adorable. God bless them all.

Zorbas is still an icon of the kitschy elements of the American interpretation of Greek culture - white and blue paint, Belly dancers with live bands on some weekends, flaming saganiki cheese, Ouzo, and mostly pretty good food. Unfortunately, post pandemic, they have at least mostly given up on the Buffet (supposedly have it for Mothers day and Valentines), and the prices have risen as well. Still an amusing adventure, if you lower your expectations a bit.

ALL YOU CAN EAT?? nope. if you eat more than one plateful, they will ASK YOU TO LEAVE. The woman manager, is a demon. The food is good, the service is STIFF, and not worth the tip that THEY EXPECT. The music is LOUD, and the place is small. I dont get the belly dancing show, if you want to see strippers, then, there are strip clubs. Lets not be shy folks.
