Order the tasty Shish Kabob made with marinated beef tenderloin , skewered with onions , tomatoes & bell peppers , served over rice with a house made bread roll.

The 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 C

Spectacular 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 TheDish

Delicious! 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 Ferro

Great 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 Tkachenko

Great authentic greek mousaka served with salad and bread ! And big pitcher of cold beer !!! Great dishes and fair price

If you’re after something quick, the excellent pork souvlaki wrapped with feta in warm, soft pita is the way to go—it’s one of our favorite sandwiches in the area

Eric van Wijk

My 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.

Lauren Karasek

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.

Ricardo Harvin

The Vegetable Meze , with sides of pita , and hummus , is a tasty, light, and healthy meal .

Christian Moscardi

Everything is fantastic. Falafel in pita , gyro in pita ...

Ellie Moondog

Authentic 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

Best falafel in DC. Great salads . Chicken souvlaki is very good as well .

Fairly affordable place for reheated Greek inspired specialities. Get a platter.

sit on the 2nd floor and enjoy the great atmosphere and the delicious Greek food :)

Jessica Placencia

Great Greek food . A bit pricey . A mix of casual fast food and sit down.

The Zorba's combination platter is very good. Yeah, the 2nd floor is better to sit.

Everything. Awesome owner!

Shawn Cook

The lamb yero is delicious.

Charley

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.

Gregory Johnson

Good food, good service , friendly staff !

A classic Greek place. The best in DuPont.

When you order hummus , they give you a lot! Order an extra pita or two ;-) *...

The half carafe is enough for two. ;)
