Loved this spot for a late-night friend reunion! The location is convenient to walk or take wmata to and there's lots of indoor seating + some tables outside as well!I visited DC from out of town and wanted to find somewhere with 1) fresh food options and 2) vegetarian options for my company. The food at Zorba's fit perfectly! Customizable options and very kind staff made ordering easy. The food felt really nourishing and tasted delicious on a cold, windy night. I liked how the falafel was firm on the outside while soft and lush on the inside.I live several hours away but my organization is based in DC. I enjoyed the food and service so much that I'd consider catering for the office from them!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options from falafel to sides to vegetarian platters.Dietary restrictions: ask staff before ordering if you have dietary restrictionsParking: parking is always hardKid-friendliness: kids can eat here, it's casual and would be okay for family diningWheelchair accessibility: this is in an old building so wheelchair access to most of it is difficult

Came here on a recommendation and what a wonderful surprise! The food was fresh, delicious, and very affordable by DC standards. The falafel was insanely good and the chicken was perfectly prepared and oh so delicious. Greek yogurt was homemade. This was hands down the healthiest meal we had in our one week stay. Vegetables were fresh and lettuce was crispy. The establishment was impeccably clean and the staff very friendly. In the entrance hang many awards from years of service and even a letter from a government official who thanked the owner for their quality of work and community support. Highly recommend. We will definitely return.

Kind of mediocre food, atmosphere of Greek music and photos was nice. Food was served cold which was disappointed. Used to be a high end sit down restaurant. Mid range fast food.

Greek food? Leave me alone. The rice was plain (and since when do they serve white plain rice with souvlaki) and the salad was risibile. Small cups of tzatziki and hummus felt store bought. The meat was tasteless, overcooked, and just basically reheated from something that had already been cooked. I cannot believe they call themselves a Greek restaurant.

A great place for Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. The food was great, and so was the service and vibe. Price was also reasonable.

Overall, nice restaurant, good food, pleasant service on the reception. However, Greek salad was really poor, and we ordered Plato combinado, which we expected to be a dish for two. Maybe it is and we were too hungry ?I can recommend as a place for dinner and nice home wine! But double-check what’s in the dish)

Souvlaki and gyro combo was good. Outside dining was decent. Portions were acceptable, but not huge. One person has to order a little more food.

This is a pretty good lunch spot. I really liked the Yero plate in particular. You also get free bread and butter here. Atmosphere is relaxing, and I even saw some customers here reading magazines while waiting for their food. It can be difficult to get service as some of the staff did not speak English, and I don't have a problem with a staff member speaking another language. However, I do think it would have been helpful to have someone translate the fact that I wanted to have some water. It's small, so it may be hard to get a spot if it is crowded, but I haven't had that experience yet since I usually go for lunch.I plan to come here again another time. This is a must-try if you are in the Dupont Circle area.

Ordered the Combination plate, the price implied I would have enough for leftovers. Portions much smaller than expected compared to other Greek restaurants I’ve tried.

Delicious food, fairly priced, with a lovely atmosphere and staff! I’ve been here a few times now and it is excellent each time. There’s a parking garage around the corner if you can’t get street parking. I’m looking forward to my next date here!
