The atmosphere was pleasant, but the food could have been fresher and tastier. There's significant potential, however; improvements to the food are needed.

We used to dine here when we lived nearby and always enjoyed it. However, this last time the meals just weren’t good. My chicken was so over cooked that the bones were falling out which made it dry and hard to swallow. We told the waiter but nothing was done. Even though we were disappointed in our meals, we decided to order dessert and it was delicious! It was noon and there were only two other tables with customers. That really says some things are slipping because this place used to be packed.

The menu is extensive. There’s quite a list of evening menu items—a bit pricey. Lunch is more reasonable, plus they have a gluten-free menu. The flaming saganaki was a hit. My gyro was just so-so, but I plan to be back.

Very disappointed with purchase.
Highly overpriced- for takeout ordered a gyro sandwich $15.50 (gluten free pita $3.50) lamb extra $2 (which is fine) but got 4 small lamb gyro pieces not even slices/cubes and all pita. What a shame? $68 order (2 salads, side of chicken gyro & a lamb gyro sandwich). $3.50 for gluten free tiny pita. Ridiculous. $9 chicken gyro but received 8 slivers of chicken gyro. When asked for side of tzatziki they ask for extra $1. Of course $3 extra for credit card. All fine ready to pay more if quality is there. No quantity poor service. Price gouging— beware!
Don’t mind paying more but need protein not all carbs & sauce. Sad that they count each slice of gyro they put in. Overpriced to the core. Won’t be returning and will warn friends.
Compared to this Zizikis is way better since you at least get quantity/see the meat (closed now unfortunately in plano) and also Fadi’s - fresh same day made stone ground humus (chickpeas soaked overnight) and A+ for customer service. Chicken and gyro shawarma quantity is 1lb or more for $9 and great quality.
Management needs to see how this place is run so customers are taken care of. Poor customer service.
Flower Child/True Food Kitchen is well priced for the quantity of food compared to this place.

My friend decided he wanted to try Greek food so we found this place and came for dinner. I want to say that our server was great and patient with us. The place is cute and cozy. We felt very welcomed. I will say, however, that the food was a bit disappointing. Our Greek salad and Greek village salad were very good and probably our favorite course. Simple yet very well done. We also very much enjoyed the Spread Trio, for which we picked the Tzatziki, Tirokafteri, and Melintzanosalata, which were each very distinctive and delicious. Each went well with the pita breat, which were as good as all the other reviews say. We also enjoyed an order of Saganaki. It was good, but the cheese hardened very quickly and was a bit difficult to separate once it did.
Regarding the entrees, that was probably our least faborite parts. The original gyro, which one of my friends ordered, was actually very good and probably among the best I had anywhete. However, I got the grecian chicken and just felt disappointed. The flavor seemed bland and nothing struck me as special or unique about the dish. My other friend ordered the lamb shank, which I almost ordered. I have had great lamb shank elsewhere and know what I like, but my friend told me it tasted bland as well and covered in a boring tomato sauce. Felt like a shame for something with so much potential.
If I were to ever return, I think I would stick with the more widely known dishes like salads and gyro platters. I also saw great things on reviews about their desserts, which we unfortunately were not able to try, so I would love to. Some of the specials on their menu, we just didn't enjoy so much.

Zorba's is a nice place but I was very disappointed in the food. I went for lunch with 4 other people. I ordered skordhalia which is a potato mixture with garlic as an appetizer. It was slimmy and had a sweet taste. Not a hint of garlic at all. No one at my table liked it. No one really enjoyed their food. I ordered gluten free pita.. 2 small pita breads were $3.50. That is a bit high I think.. The food was not anything that I would go back for. The only thing that was good was the salad. I have many Greeks in my family and I know Greek food. This place is very mediocre. There was a young boy server. He was very nice and did a good job. I don't recommend this place.

Love Zorbas. The staff was great and the manager gave personal recommendations.
We had the Saganaki cheese as an appetizer which was a great show when they lit it on fire.
Wonderful lunch!

Exceptional service from Ricardo. It was 8 pm so while it appears that I am making excuses for them, I'm not. Their lamb shank was delicious but a little on the dry side. Their Mousakka was delicious but a little too cinnamon forward.
Will definitely go back and try out the other delicious temptations.

Food wasn't the best.
We got the falafel platter in which the potatoes were bland and not evenly cooked. The salad didn't seem very fresh. Overall quite bland.
The Saganaki cheese got rubbery after they lit it on fire.
The strawberry chocolate marquise was decent, but too sweet.

The food was unbelievable. The best Greek food I have ever eaten. And Ricardo was a great host. Get the sampler, it can feed at least 3 people. Don't forget the baklava, so warm and flaky.

I can’t believe this place has this high of reviews. I went in on Sunday night and ordered the chicken Slovaks The chicken was so dry. I couldn’t get it off the kebab. It tasted like sawdust. It came with rice and the rice was crunchy. We ordered an appetizer of hummus with pita bread, and the pita bread was hard within minutes The hummus had an olive on it I moved the olive part of the olive skin, stuck to the hummus. I don’t know. I can’t even imagine how anyone would want to eat here. The chicken was so dry and tasted so much like lemons worst meal ever. It tasted like it would been three or four days since it was cooked. This is not how you run a restaurant. I will never come back here.

Love going to Zorba’s!
We like to start our meal off with either the calamari or the saganaki. I love how they light the saganaki tableside.
Sometimes we get the trio of dips, my favorite is the tirokafteri and it is so convenient that Zorba’s is BYOB,
My daughter and I could eat the chicken gyro salad every day, it is our favorite dish. it is difficult to find chicken gyro and Zorba’s is tender and flavorful. My son likes the chicken breast platter, the chicken is so moist and he likes to get fries with feta cheese on top.
I love to end my meal with a cup of Greek coffee and a baklava ala mode but my kids like the chocolate marquise or the chocolate strawberry…it is like death by chocolate!
If you want authentic Greek food that is made fresh and friendly service then you need to head to Zorba’s the next time you are craving Greek food.
