We a great dinner last night at Zestys on Main Street in Manayunk. Delicious octopus, lamb and hummus! The cocktail was ok, but everything else was fantastic. Great service, the owner was walking around greeting everyone and when the music started we felt like we were in Greece! And of course, the bellydancer was great. Go early because it gets filled up. And....take your time...service is not fast, but very friendly and cordial. Check it out.

Overall pretty good. Service was spotty, there were times when it was attentive, other times when we were ignored. Food was good, I especially enjoyed their soup, salad, and the clam pasta dish.

Ordered avgolemeno soup and Caesar salad to go. The soup was tasty, but did not have much lemon flavor. The Caesar salad was good, but for $13, I would’ve expected a lot more salad. It was sort of tossed around in the container, and not because I wasn’t careful with it.When I went in to pick up the order, the service was not very friendly.

Didn't look like much of a place from the outside. The food was amazing. The fish tanks in the restaurant are an added treat.

Zesty’s is our absolute favorite spot!Hands down the best restaurant on Main Street!! The food is always fresh and delicious! Highly recommend trying gyros, grilled octopus, Greek spreads, Greek salad, yellow fin tuna, steak, mussels!!! Staff is amazing and always great atmosphere!
Went to Zesty for my anniversary. Me and my wife enjoyed ourselves very much. Food and wine was delicious. My wife had the lamb dish and I had fish. I can't remember the name of the fish but it was from Greece. Try it out and let me know what you guy's think.

My family treated me to a birthday celebration at Zesty's, and it was an incredible dinner experience. We kicked things off with a selection of appetizers, featuring grilled calamari, saganaki, and spanakopita made with fresh spinach, parsley, dill, scallions, and Feta cheese baked in buttered filo. The attentive waitress made sure everything was perfect, and when the staff brought out the flambeed saganaki, it was a stunning spectacle. For the main course, three of us enjoyed grilled whole fish, while another opted for a vegetarian moussaka layered with sautéed eggplant, cheeses, ground beef, and sliced zucchini, all baked in a creamy béchamel sauce. Lastly, one person savored the arni kapama, a flavorful dish of young lamb cooked with herbs and tomato sauce. Overall, the service and food were outstanding, making it the best birthday dinner ever.

Wonderful service! Delicious food. Extremely friendly, kind & caring servers. Amazing live entertainment with interactive dancing and strolling musicians playing traditional Greek music. The owner personally greeted guests and engaged each one of us in conversation about our experience. Truly cares about the customer experience. We honestly had a fantastic time and enjoyed the experience.

This restaurant was absolutely wonderful! My girlfriend and I went here for Valentine's Day and were thrilled with the experience. The live music made it a great and lively environment that was extremely enjoyable. The food was delicious and a spectacular example of the many tasty Greek dishes that there are. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a family dinner, date night, or even just a meal with friends. Great for any occasion and will leave you with a smile, no matter what you order.

We have not dined here for few years. Our fault as the food was excellent and so was the service. The piano player and the singer were great addition. The result - an excellent evening we will definitely return soon.
