“ The perfect light lunch! I had Grilled Calimari, Greek salad and Lemon Rice Soup! The flood was Very Yummy! The waiter was awesome and attentive! ”
“ I had a pleasant experience here. At first, I was going to one of the two other restaurants nearby. However, as a trucker, I need to eat healthy PLUS I LOVE MEDITERRANEAN FOOD! The owner, a beautiful blonde hair lady, with the kindest eyes, helped me with the menu. I got some meatballs (don’t remember the name but she said it so beautifully) and added some green beans. Delicious meal! Not too heavy and perfect amount. Now here’s the best part! As I was waiting for my meal, I saw the desserts. Now I LOVE me some rice pudding y’all! So when I opened up my bag and saw that she had gifted me that, I was like ! I’ve def added that restaurant as my fav, for the next time I role through town. Thank you so much for the warm welcome, your generosity and amazing customer service! ”
“ I love this place!!!! Food was phenomenal!! The Dessert was the icing on the cake for a memorable 1st dinner with family! The Portokalopita..... OMG!! Was the best! It was even better was meeting one of the owners who makes all the desserts... such a blessing!!! I’m going back hands down because everything on that Menu is worth going back to try every single entree and dessert. To our server.... Very genuine and helpful with the choices, THANK YOU! Coming from a “Foodie” family... this is one of the few restaurants that have Culture and Taste in their food and atmosphere! I choose that over gimmick restaurant that sell food and not share the culture! Now I made myself crave Zorba’s again lol! ”
“ All I can say is Zorba’s is Greek food done right. The food was fresh and flavorful! Staff understand how to engage and makes you feel welcome. Had to make a second trip during the week to enjoy the flavors once again! ”
“ I have been coming here since we've moved and have never been disappointed. The food is fantastic and the community the staff has created exceeds expectations. We celebrated my Mama's birthday this evening and got the Portokalopita (melt in your mouth delicious and homemade), and Baklava on the house! Absolutely, 100% recommend everything the family and staff have to offer. Thank y'all so much!!! ”
“ My wife and I found this place while exploring as part of our adventures in dinning. Awesome is the best way to describe it. It is now my favorite place to eat. I rarely say you must try it however you simply must add this place to your list. I had the prime rib and my wife had lamb chops. The prime rib was delicious and so we're the lamb chops. However I loved the lamb chops slightly more and can easily say that they were the best I have tasted so far. The desert was the best. In fact I now have a favorite dessert. You cannot get them anywhere else as the owners wife makes them in house. I wish I could remember the name. I had the strawberry one and my wife the chocolate. ”
“ This is one of my favorite restaurants in Plano. We used to live in the area and moved out of state about 15 years ago and still come here whenever we visit. Get the appetizer with three dips - you get to choose them. The hummus, tzatziki, and red pepper are our faves. For entrees, I love the Grecian chicken and I order the lemon potatoes as the side. You can’t go wrong with the Souvlaki as well. It is very authentic, service is always friendly, and bonus for the free corkage! ”
“ We had another great late lunch here today! A friend introduced to this place about 10 years ago and we come back as often as we can when we’re in the area. We have our three favorite dishes that we order every time - saganaki (because who doesn’t like flaming cheese??), the Greek village salad, and two traditional gyro sandwiches with one order of fries to share. This is plenty of food, we both leave full, and could probably get away with sharing the gyro after the two starters, but it’s just so good we keep getting our own. The cheese is both fun to watch and delicious to eat. It turns out just like the videos of cooking cheese in a skillet with the hard crispy bottom and gooey center- spread on pita bread and it’s delicious. The salad is large enough to split 2-4 people, with green peppers, cucumbers, red onion, tomato, pepperoncinis, feta, dressings and comes with olives but I don’t like olives so we order without. The gyros are huge! Lots of meat, tomato, and white onion and the tzatziki sauce is amazing! I wish I could make it at home but nothing I’ve tried ever tasted as good. I only wish we could order the gyro sandwich at dinner Recommend 10/10 ”
