Great selection but typical of a buffet style restaurant. Most of the food has been sitting in steam trays for a while so I would not call it fresh. Service was good but not outstanding and the building is starting to show it's age.

I was there on sunday, it costs a litle more around $14 usd. I was not really impresed with the food but must say it was ok. The ambience is good and gives the greek feeling. THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! our waiter was the cashier, so we got screwed on service. I ask for iced tea and that is all... More

I've been here a few times for lunch and a couple of times for dinner. The buffet is done very well and has a large variety of Greek foods and desserts. The lamb is outstanding in all it's forms. And the large variety of desserts are delicious. The evening was delightful with shots of Ouzo and the waiters get together... More

This is a great location for lunch. They have a variety of hot & fresh Greek food items to choose from. They have chicken, lamb, beef, an fish dishes. The hummus/salad bar is great. Pita bread is always kept fresh/hot. The buffet is a great deal. There's also a dessert bar with fruits/cakes/puddings and cookies. The staff is very attentive... More

Saw this place thought we would try it, my family of four ( me, bf, my 9yr old, and my 2 yr old). The food was average nothing stuck out pretty plain. Especially for over 12$ a plate, 10$ for my 9yr old, and 5$ for my 2yr old who doesn't eat off his own plate in the first place,... More

First, I'm no expert of Greek cuisine, so I'm not likely to be as picky about whether the food is authentic or not. In fact, I probably don't worry how authentic it is as long as it is really good and priced fairly. So, that's the basis for this review. You will have to judge authenticity for yourself. We went...

Took my family to Zorba's tonight and they had something for everyone. 8.95 includes it all except beverage, this even for dinner. Highly recommend for families on a budget who want some variety in their fare.

Roadkill !!! It was by far the worst food we ever had in anything that called itself a restaurant. Starting from mixing up the soup orders from lentil soup to avgolemono to serving gyros that were dried to the consistency of shoe soles and an unidentifiable object they claimed to be moussaka, there was nothing edible. Also totally vouid of... More

We found Zorba's when we were looking for a place within walking distance of our hotel, and we ended up there on a Wednesday evening with the $8.95 buffet. Good food all around! The place has been there for 23 years, and it is apparent it's an institution in the neighborhood. Just catching bits of conversation of the other patrons... More
