Zorba's Tavern

My first dinner in Philly. Love the veggies, love the seasoning. Very good stew. Good portion and good vibe. 100% recommend!

Lovely little Greek restaurant near the penitentiary with fresh food. Went on a Saturday night at ~6:30pm without a reservation and were seated quickly. We ordered the fries and charcoal sampler for 2. Fries were cut circular which I had never seen but doesn't come with any sauce. Charcoal sampler was good but the chicken breast was dry, tzatziki saved it.

Best Greek food I've ever had! Highly recommend, even if you don't normally like Greek cuisine (like me).

This place was great, we got the spicy feta appetizer, calamari, and some lamb dish (my friend ordered for the both of us so I’m not sure specifics). The spicy feta app was probably my favorite thing, but also dang the calamari was so fresh tasting. Also our waitress was incredibly sweet and made our experience all the better. I have nothing bad to say about our experience! They allow BYOB (we didn’t bring anything so I’m not going to let this impact my review)but have an uncorking fee of $15 which is quite steep imo.

Wonderful family restaurant serving traditional Greek food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed the roasted lamb and lamb shanks. Very tasty and served with potatoes, rice and vegetables, all served in the traditional Greek style. Cozy dining room and good service. Looking forward to coming back.
