Behrad EatsJune 21, 2016Order the tasty Shish Kabob made with marinated beef tenderloin, skewered with onions, tomatoes & bell peppers, served over rice with a house made bread roll.
- Behrad EatsJune 21, 2016The Greek-Fire Feta or Tirokafteri is a great way to start the meal - spicy Feta cheese whipped with red pepper and Greek olive oil, served with crisp Greek pittas.
Andrew CMay 6, 2019Spectacular greek food - every classic is here and all of it was quite tasty and very reasonably priced... it has a weird layout of counter/kitchen and table seating and carpetting everywhere
Trish TheDishAugust 18, 2014Delicious! Gluten free friendly to the max. You order inside then wait for your food to be ready then you seat yourself-- pretty nice to save on a tip so you can spend more on good food!
Neko FerroJune 22, 2012Great place to get drunk cheap. The carafe of Greek house white is a steal and delicious. Stay away from familiar grapes like moscato. Try moschefilero. The Greeks do dry white like no one else.
Ordered a gyro so I could compare it to other Greek restaurants. Hands down, one of the best I've had. Very flavorful. This place is going on my favs list.
Oleg TkachenkoJuly 5, 2016Great authentic greek mousaka served with salad and bread! And big pitcher of cold beer!!! Great dishes and fair price
Washingtonian MagazineOctober 21, 2011If you鈥檙e after something quick, the excellent pork souvlaki wrapped with feta in warm, soft pita is the way to go鈥攊t鈥檚 one of our favorite sandwiches in the area
Eric van WijkJuly 28, 2017My dish (salad & souvlaki) was authentic Greek, with the right flavor. The experience was let down in the restroom though, with clogged toilets and accompanying smell.
Great patio and reasonably priced food, it's the one place my mom and I can agree on when she visits. I love that the beer always comes in a frosted mug and all of the fries are superb.
The Vegetable Meze, with sides of pita, and hummus, is a tasty, light, and healthy meal.- Ellie MoondogApril 14, 2010Authentic Greek food that is naturally healthy & satisfying. I used to eat here weekly with a group of friends - everyone found something they liked, and there are lots of vegetarian options. Read more
- Matt BernsteinAugust 11, 2014Best falafel in DC. Great salads. Chicken souvlaki is very good as well.
Chris R (thechristophe)December 27, 2016Fairly affordable place for reheated Greek inspired specialities. Get a platter.
Jessica PlacenciaJanuary 30, 2016Great Greek food. A bit pricey. A mix of casual fast food and sit down.
HodaFebruary 7, 2014sit on the 2nd floor and enjoy the great atmosphere and the delicious Greek food :)
ALeApril 15, 2013The Zorba's combination platter is very good. Yeah, the 2nd floor is better to sit.
Akash JayaprakashOctober 2, 2012Chickpea salad is like taboulleh with chickpeas. Lovely on a hot summer day.
When you order hummus, they give you a lot! Order an extra pita or two ;-) *...
So I can't say this for certain because it has been tasty before, but the falafel they have now is probably the most terrible thing I've ever eaten. Period.
Souvlaki or Gyro Plate. You will not regret - especially when paired with a pitcher.
LisaJanuary 7, 2017Tried the yero plate and it was okay and overpriced. Had much better ones before.

"Variety of tasty light lunch options. Try the lamb salad (thinly sliced roasted lamb with baby spinach, melitzanosalata, goat cheese). Daily fish special also excellent option. Service is impeccable."
