Zorba’s Kitchen

Good food in Orlando is not something that's easy to find. Sure you can get fast food anywhere but eventually you get to the point where quality matters more than anything.Zorba's Kitchen is a local spot that's quite low key. It's still pretty much a brand new restaurant in the area but the people have spoken. They have some great lunch and dinner options.I've been there a few times in the past few weeks and today it's time for me to share my thoughts. In short this is a great place to grab something to eat.It's not a large location so I recommend take-out rather than dining in. There may be around 10 tables inside and on my last visit there were 4 people who were eating lunch.I had the Gyro, Gyro platter with rice and salad, and some of their pasta dishes Greek Pastitsio and Moussaka. I've tried their Greek French Fries and Seasoned potatoes as sides. All of the dishes were great and really have that authentic flavor. I really like the Gyro Pita Combo.Not much else to say. Take a look at the menu as there are some things available only on certain days of the week. For fresh made food in the area, you simply can't go wrong. Oh also their Tzatziki sauce is Top Tier. I have to get extra to make sure I have enough.

The name Zorba means live each day with passion. It is clear that Zorba Kitchen's passion is in the food - especially on Mondays and Tuesdays, when they serve pastitsio.This special also known as Greek lasagna is only available Monday and Tuesday. I called ahead a little after 5 pm and reserved the last special available that day. This is a very popular entree.My meal consisted of the pastitsio which is sheets of pasta, layered with meat sauce, and a creamy béchamel, then baked. It was served with a salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and olives) and a dollop of hummus alongside grilled pita bread. I took home part of the large portion so I had lunch the next day.This restaurant is located in a strip mall at the corner of Lake Underhill and Goldenrod. The seating area is just a handful of tables but is bright and very clean. I chose to eat in and the owner was very attentive and checked a few times if I needed anything. I really enjoyed my meal and look forward to going back for another classic Greek entree, moussaka, which is an eggplant dish, served only on Fridays and Saturdays.

Zorba's Kitchen is located in a ratger nondescript shopping plaza on the corner of Goldenrod and Lake Underhill and I will say that getting in and out of this shopping plaza is a bit inconvenient (okay, maybe more than a bit of an inconvenience), but I will say that the food and wonderfully warm service makes it a worthwhile inconvenience. Walking in, I noticed that Zorba's Kitchen is an extremely small restaurant. But it was bright and while nothing even close to fancy, it was pleasant enough. The gentleman who took my to-go order was extremely friendly. I went with two lamb gyro dinners and for the one side, for one, I went with Greek potatoes and the other, I went with their hand-cut French fries.When I got home, I tore into the gyro and was pretty impressed. I tried both the Greek potatoes and the French fries. I thought both were good, but I think that I preferred the hand-cut French fries.I would definitely recommend Zorba's Kitchen and I will give it five stars overall.

Such a hidden gem! Probably the best lemon chicken soup I've had at a Greek restaurant! Service was wonderful, food was fresh, hot and can really taste their love (as cheesy as that sounds). Owner/cook came out and check on us as well, we definitely felt welcomed. The place is small with a few tables but definitely worth checking out!

Orlando-Amazing food!! Tiny little restaurant, but packed full of delicious food! Kind of a mom and pop place. Probably some of the best chicken soup I've ever tasted.

10/10 food and customer service, the most authentic Greek food I've ever had. Small hole in the wall place that you wouldn't think much of but OMG spent my birthday lunch here with my boyfriend. We started with a platter of a lot of different appetizers, I got lamb gyros platter and he got a meatball gyro. So good; will definitely be back!

5 stars for the cutest little greek spot! Excellent service, generous portions, and delicious food. Zorbas is a little out of our way, but we had a craving for greek and decided to try it out. We are sure glad we did. We had Dolmades, Chicken Souvlaki, and Moussaka. I would 100% order it all again. Everyone should come support this little greek restaurant!

Stopped in for dinner with a friend on a Saturday night and OH MY GOSH was this amazing! It's a small little locally owned shop in a shopping center, and you have to try it! I got the Chicken Skewer Platter ($14.49) and the chicken was so juicy. The tzatziki paired perfectly with it, as did the fluffy pita. The side of greek salad with it was super yummy too. The rice wasn't my favorite because it was a little oily, but there was plenty of other amazing food on that plate to make up for it. My friend tried the Lamb Gyro ($10.29) and was equally impressed. She got the side of Greek Potatoes ($2.99) as well but didn't love them. Definitely stick to the main dishes here I think! The man and woman working (I assume the owners) were very sweet and brought out the food quickly and still hot. I would absolutely come back and recommend Zorba's for anyone in the mood for some great Greek food!

Wow what a lovely restaurant! The food was delicious and well seasoned. The staff and manager were very attentive! Best gyro Cesar salad ever! It was so good I almost forgot to take a picture! You can really tell they care about your experience!

This is hands down the best Greek food in Orlando! Try Pastitso and you will not be disappointed. The staff is as friendly as anyone can be and the value is amazing. It's very small and casual. Strong recommend.
