zorba's

not kid friendly. just ate here and let me tell you, good food, ok service, not kid friendly at all. i guess after renovating theplaceafter the fire, the owners ran out of money and decided that a real kid friendlyplaceonly needs 3 count'em 3 high chairs. what???? all we got was a pitiful apology from our server, no visit from the mgr, no accommodation, nothing. very disappointed in the 'new' zorba's, needless to say, we won't be returning and i suggest if you go, bring your own highchair if you need one, as they won't have one available.

best tiramisu!. i have been here twice now and i have loved the food both times. the clams casino are perfect and well worth the 20 minute wait! the gyro platter is excellent and although i want to try something else on the menu i keep going back to the gyro!! the tiramisu is out of this world! you definitely need to try thisplaceif you love greek food... opa!!!

super tasty food with great service and prices. i am from new york city and travel south to nc and ga for business. found out about zorba's thru a friend, and made a stop on the way. what a treat! if you like shell fish, try muscles. you won't regret! specialties such as stuffed grape leaves, and hummus are yummy too! i love meat so their new kebap additons were one of my favorites. my wife had salmon and it was moist, nicely seasoned! very good! for desert, i suggest zorba's home made tiramisu. these guys know what they are doing!
when you add great service and super reasonable pricing, thisplaceis a must even for some spoiled new yorker!

wow great food here . thisplacehas a great menu full of great choices. i love the zorbas special its the best. all the waitress are hot here. thanks zorbas for reopening.

thisplaceis ok but not worth what you are paying. my 2 guests got very big portions and it tasted great. so, they had a great experience. the first time i went i got lasagna, which tasted like they used ricotta that wasn't mixed well or cottage cheese. honestly i'm pretty certain it was cottage cheese and cottage cheese has noplacein lasagna. the next time i went i got a gyro. there was only 4 pieces of meat on my gyro that was $14! maybe someday i will give them another chance because as i said before my friends liked it and they want to go back.

not a great night.. my friends and i went to zorba's on a girls night out. we knew it was going to be pricey, but we had heard that the food was good so we stuck it out. the service was great, as we were one of 3 tables filled, but the food was only mediocre and not worth the price. at all. plus, they charged us an extra two dollars when my friend asked for an extra plate! the entrees are huge, so we were going to share; i mean, it was a family sized meal on the plate, but it's an extra 2 dollars for every person you share with. that took an already huge price (14 dollars for a plate of spaghetti with barely-there meat sauce) to a whopping 18 dollars. eighteen. when we added another entree, it came out to 30 dollars total, without the tip or any drinks. we had water. we were incredibly disappointed; for that price, we could have gone somewhere much nicer and gotten food that tasted better than what we could have made at home. not to mention that the salads tasted old and packaged. the only thing i enjoyed were the rolls, of which you get three. no matter what your party size. i asked. the wholeplacewas very dark, which could have been intimate except for the football games playing at the bar where the owners were drinking. we will certainly not be going there again!

zorba's...the best. every meal our family enjoys from zorba's is simply delicious. the dining room's decor is appealing, and the wait staff, as always, is helpful, friendly and attentive. marnet greets all diners, we always feel like you're part of the family at zorba's. a perfectplacefor lunch or a casual dinner, never have to wait too long, always run into friends and have a wonderful meal. the prices are reasonable, the wines delicious, and the food consistently great. i give you an a+!

great time!. originally went to the greek festival in richmond but too crowded. someone told us about zorba's in the west end. had to try it for their greek food. had a great time.placewas packed but had no problem with our service. everything was great, food,service, people there making us feel welcome. would deffinately go back. it has now become one of our best places to eat. the food presentation was fantastic. can't wait to go back and try some of the great looking food i just had no room for. prices were much better than we thought we were going to pay.more enough food and the fresh baked bread a real treat.

superb superb superb!!!! this is my fifth visit so far and i will be back again! whatever you try is amazing ! do not try to start your main course without trying lamb dish appetizer. i recently moved from new york and zorbas is the onlyplacein richmond which gives me a vibe of "big apple"!excellent service and personal attention by the owner makes you feel like a family!way to go zorbas!

overall, i know understand why zorba’s has the reputation. the look and atmosphere of theplaceis classy enough to bring a date or go to on a night out, yet not enough to stop in for a lunch break. the service is very warm, friendly and very attentive, which is must for any good greek or italian restaurant, as is good food, and zorba’s has some of the best i’ve had. while the prices will keep me from coming religiously, for now at least, i have little doubt that i will be back, and urge you to try this richmond legend for yourself.

so glad they're back open. zorba's was closed for so long we were thinking it wouldn't reopen! but the remodel is complete and we went for new year's eve. we had reservations at 530-700 and showed up at 515. were seated promptly and quickly addressed by waitress. beautiful decor, food was awesome, owner was personable and sat down to talk to us in the middle of dinner. our only complaint was that all of the food came out way too fast, but the server apologized saying the kitchen just wanted to make sure they didn't have a wait on food times, because theplacewas packed. food & atmosphere great, will definitely go back.

so glad they are back! the newplaceis awesome and the food is still wonderful. definitely be back.

memorable meal with warm service. my husband and i were traveling from d.c. to florida, and being a former vcu/mcv grad, we decided to stop in richmond for old times' sake, craving a satisfying mediterranean meal. we found zorba's on urban spoon and were pleasantly surprised to have one of the best meals we've had in the last six months. we started with the grape leaves and spanakopita, which were both well done and surprisingly light. the spanakopita had a wonderfully authentic but still unique mix of herbs and lemon that made the dish sing. after two very good salads we moved onto the entrees. my husband and i both love lamb, and we were not disappointed by our entrees - the classic gyro for me and a special kebab for him called lamb yogurtlu. the lamb yogurtlu kebab was literally the best lamb dish i have ever tasted. better than dishes i paid $50+ for at high end steakhouses. it was rich in spices with tangy tomatoes worked into the sauce and a thick piece of delicious bread underneath to soak up all the yummy sauce.
in addition to an incredible meal, the service was outstanding. theplacewas packed, so we had to sit at the bar, but our waitress was not any less attentive, making kind conversation and checking in on us frequently. the owner chatted us up as well - a delightful person! - and was so tickled by the fact we found his restaurant online that he treated us to free dessert - a delicious homemade rice pudding. we also ordered the baklava, equally delicious. there were so many people there that were obviously regulars, it felt like richmond's version of cheers.
i can't wait until we are back in the richmond area to eat there again! i will be first in line for the lamb yogurtlu!!

fantastic greek spot - check it out. after reading some good reviews, my wife and i decided to give zorba's a try this past friday. upon entering, i was a little bit disconcerted at the disproporitionate number of older people there. admittedly, even as a foodie, i'm not always drawn to the hippest and trendiest spots in the city because for the most part the more established places are doing it and they are doing it right. some newer places can be more about atmosphere and decor than food. while i was a little bit confused about the dual italian and greek menu, all of my doubts were quickly put to rest when i realized that the greek portion of the menu is simple, traditional and expertly done. yes, if you're ever craving traditional greek food, but don't want to wait all year for the greek festival, than zorba's is theplaceto go. fantastic yeast rolls, followed by a small greek salad with a delicious in-house dressing. add anchovies? yes! my wife had the combination platter, which includes, among other things, succulent grilled souvlaki (pork, which is also available as an entree) and the best stuffed grape leaves i've ever had. seriously, these murder the ones at the greek festival. i had the chicken picatta, an italian dish which was very good, but not great. the sauce was a little bit thick and i would have enjoyed it if it had more of a lemon bite to it. however, do not let this discourage you. stick to the greek dishes and you'll be more than happy. the gracious owner was kind enough to let us sample some of the hummus and baba ghanoush, which were both heavy on the garlic (which is the way i like it) and subsequently delicious. finally, i finished off with a piece of the tiramisu (also made in-house). let me preface this with a side-note: i have tried tiramisu almost anywhere in the world i go where it is made in-house (best places: italy and mamma 'zu). the tiramisu here gets an 8/10. it is subtle (meaning, not overly sweet) and the cream cheese is light and fluffy. unfortunately, it did not have the alcoholic kick that is characteristic of good tiramisu. the staff (especially the owner) are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. in summation, we've added a new restaurant to the short list. if you're craving greek anytime, just go. you won't be disappointed.

best greek food in town! definitely can't compare with zorbas for authentic greek in richmond. theplaceis cozy, family owned, and they make you feel like home when you walk through the door. you definitely won't leave hungry, with the large portions and fresh baked homemade rolls. if you want to really try some greek, get the combination platter, comes with a little bit of everything!
