Zorba’s Greek Cafe

SO RUDE! I went here the other day and the owner of this place is so rude. Terrible service snd mediocre food. No wonder it’s always empty

Thought I had posted a review but evidently just left a picture. This restaurant thrilled us both. It is exactly what we expect a dining experience to be. Wonderful food here; we’ll definitely be back.
And so it goes … we returned yesterday and loved it again. Try this place; you’ll love it.

Ok this place is just wonderful… Really think the problem is the strip mall local… But I’ve never had anything but a delish meal… The Saganaki (flaming cheese for the un-​initiated is the way to go for an appy) the lamb shanks are the bomb and the gyros are the best!!! The owner is the sweetest pea EVER!!! Swing by and tell me if I’m wrong!!!

Amazing Greek food! Fresh, flavorful, great quality so happy to have finally discovered them! Will be a favorite on our go to list!

Fantastic real Greek food. I’m so happy they deliver. Try the falafel sandwich is amazing.

I have tried a lot of Greek restaurants, both in the fast food and sit down sense. This place is wonderful! Great customer service, great ambiance and AHMAZING fresh food! They have perfectly nailed cooking lamb and their portions are more than appetizing. Reasonably priced and well worth a visit! This will be a come back spot for my family!

Wished I could have said better things about Zorba’s given that the owner/​manager seems very hospitable. We decided to try this restaurant because we had a localoffer certificate and when we went for lunch it was not accepted because we were told that it is only accepted for dinner (even though the certificate had no mention of it). We ordered the Moussaka which was freshly made and was jusk ok. The Chicken Shwarma lacked flavor and was also below par.
So we decided to use our certificate we would go for dinner. Things just got worse as it seemed like the owner was doing the cooking and also trying to serve as well. It took nearly half hour to get the appetizer. The entrée, the gyros were supposed to be wonderful, but once again a sore disappointment. Other partrons were getting impatient and a party of 10+ people just came and then quickly left.
This place needs some serious operational guidance to survive and succeed.

The food is excellent here. My husband and I both like the variety on the menu. The atmosphere is also fantastic for a nice dinner out. The owner is magnificent as well. A definite must have for Chandler.

Absolutely loved the food and the owner! Fantastic treatment, and amazing food! We were only in AZ for five days but went there for dinner twice! If you like lamb, make sure to order the lamb shank, it’s so tasty and tender, I’m wanting it again now!

I am very picky when it comes to my Greek food and do not like a lot of places! But I love this place! The owner is awesome and nice, food is amazing and always fresh. I will forever come to this place!

The place looks and smells like a pizza joint with a hole-​in-​the-​wall feel. However, the food is very good. Had the huge Gyro Salad. Meat was well cooked and salted and the salad was pretty good. Might have had too much water at the bottom.
The high school band playing that night was a nice touch.

This was my first time here and the food was fantastic. We ordered our food online for pick-​up. Everything was hot and ready, and the person who helped me in the restaurant walked with me to hold open the door. We ordered the chicken shwarma, gyro, and baklava. I had no idea the food came with salad, which was a nice surprise. We will definitely go back.

I’m a fan of gyros and Zorba’s does it right. High quality meat, very fresh ingredients and authentic tasting tzatziki sauce.
Add in excellent friendly service and Zorba’s is a win.

I love the greek salads. They are great. We go 2 or 3 times a month. We had fries this week abd they were great. They come with feta cheese and a sauce that is just perfect.

Excellent food and service! I had the lamb shank and my husband had the Kefta Kabob, both were delicious (as well as the home made hummus). I recommend
highly to anyone wanting to promote local businesses.

Went in for dinner and ordered the gyro plate and the kabob (ground beef/​lamb). Both were good and actually came with a lot of food for the money.
On thing about the kabob (and just a commentary on lamb… not on the restaurant) for whatever reason I find lamb served in the US to be very gamey tasting. The kabob here had that gamey taste so it at least does contain more than just ground beef. That being said I don’t think I’d order the kabob again as I’m just not a fan of US lamb.

Zucchini sticks not very flavorful. Gyro plate and lamb shank were very good! Take home some baklava-​yumm! Live music made for nice ambience! Definitely will be back!

The lamb shank was outstanding! My wife had the gyro plate and said it was great. The baklava was first rate. The fried, breaded zucchini was bland really need to add some taste to the batter.
Service was perfect, she had my coffee cup filled as soon as it hit the 50% mark, very professional!
They had a troubadour singing some great Dylan style music in the background. Very nice place for a quiet relaxing date night.

The food was fresh and flavorful. The service was attentive and eager.
I will definitely go back and bring the family next time. This is my new go-​to place for Mediterranean food. Best place I’ve found in the valley.

I’ve been a regular here for over a year now and I’ve observed its ups and downs. It’s a mom and pop, which I support over a corporate chain restaurant any day. The food is always top notch (with the exception of a few visits where I knew they were struggling to stay in business). That being said, Zorba’s is now under new ownership and I know they are working to upgrade the menu and get the bar area fully stocked and running, but it will take time and support from the regulars as they work toward positive upgrades and bringing in more people.
We were there last night and I ordered the lamb shank, which was stellar, and my friend had the garlic shrimp dish which she gave two thumbs up also. The produce for the salads is always fresh and clean and crisp. The pita bread is served warm and soft and the hummus spiced just right and tasty.
There was no alcohol served last night as they are updating their liquor license and, as I said, they’re working on upgrading the bar area which fell short under previous ownership.
This little place is a gem that is in the process of being polished, in my opinion. The owner has some great ideas for the future of this place and I hope to see those ideas come through.
Try the place out. I highly recommend it. And support your local businesses. They need it and it does great things for the local economy when we back them up.

When we arrived at Zorba’s around 6pm on a Sunday evening we were disappointed to find a sign that said they were closed on Sundays. Then much to our surprise, a person cleaning inside, who happened to be the owner, welcomed us in and opened up the shop for us.
We started with the fried zucchini and hummus which were both delicious. Then we moved to onto a gyro wrap for myself and a great salad for my companion. The gyro meat was juicy and delicious, not the usual, dried out and chewy meat I’ve suffered through elsewhere. The veggies were all fresh and the portions were great.
By the time we left, more than half the retaurant was filled despite them «not being open on Sunday.»
And while I will say that the food is good, the real reason for the five here is the service. The owner was incredibly friendly, forthcoming, and seemed so happy to serve us even on a day that was technically his day off. I wish I lived in the area to visit it again but since I don’t, I encourage you to visit it for me :)

This place deserves a «0» star rating. First of all, they do not honor their Unilocal coupon and refuse to take it off of Unilocal.They are clearly using this 100% off coupon to draw people in only to tell them it is not valid. There are reviews going back 6 months saying the same thing about the coupon. They do not offer any sort of discount in place of the coupon they leave on Unilocal.
The service is also terrible. The waitress was one of the rudest people I have ever talked to. We ordered 2 entrees which did not come to the table for over 45 minutes, and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. They offered no apologies for the extreme delay in service.
There are far better Greek options in Chandler. I will definitely not be going back to Zorbas and I strongly recommend you do not either.
