Whoa, that was weird. I clicked on Zorba's, and then it posted a blank review for me. I suppose I better write something quickly then. I went to this Zorba's because I was instructed to by the owner. I met the owner at Tino's several months ago as he was cleaning tables. I heart Greek food. I told the owner this. I did my obligatory Greek men spiel. "Do you have any young, single, good looking sons? I love Greek food so much, I want to marry into a Greek family." He said no, but that he was single. He asked if I liked to party. I'm um...... Hm.... I'll have to think that one over. Zorba's and Tino's serve the same staple of Greek food, except that Zorba's has more seafood and is more date-worthy according to the owner. I met my friend, Sherri, here for lunch on a Sunday. This place was deserted, which is strange for a Greek place. One of the things that I love about Greek Restaurants (though something people hate) is that they are usually hustling and rich with activity and energy. It is kind of like an authentic Chinese restaurant except the people don't sound like they're cursing loudly when they are talking. I had the sampler plate (11.50, though written as 12.50 on the menu), and Sherri had the salmon plate. The sampler plate was HUGE, I mean HUGE with loads of chicken and gyro meat. Very delicious. My keftedes was served in tomato sauce, not the norm that I had. And my olive had a pit in it. Hmph. The rest of it was very yummy and delightful. Chicken was finger licking good. Sherri, however, was not pleased with her mashed potatoes. They were so dry that she hardly ate any of it. Also, the bread was good, but not as good as Turkish Cuisine in Chicago, IL. Waitstaff was pleasant and efficient. I can't find anything really wrong with Zorba's, and I did like the food. It was just lacking something that I can't put my finger on. But it's not like my beloved Niko Niko's in Houston, thus only 4 stars. Maybe if I come here on a Saturday night (as I was instructed), and enjoyed the company of drunken Greek men, that might give the atmosphere the boost to 5 stars. It just might make me scream "OPA!" Oh yes, and BYOB. read more

Zorba - Sampler Plate - Greek Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

So much food for $10! Got the vegetarian plate where I got to choose five sides and also came with salad and a piece of pita bread. I tried the hummus, babaganoush, falafel, lentil soup and a version of spanakopita but didn't have spinach. The falafel, hummus and soup were excellent! The spanakopita - just feta version - was too salty and the babaganoush was okay. The food was ready quickly and the lady who took my order was really friendly. Definitely will check it out again the next time I'm in the mood for Mediterranean food. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! Down to the way it's decorated to the customer service and the flavor of the food. It feels like I'm eating in a Greek restaurant in Greece. Very cool atmosphere while eating my food. Every time I go it tastes just as good and the staff if so polite and helpful in explaining their menu at different hours. This is a hidden jem that not too many seem to know about but I highly recommend it! read more

I found Zorba's by accident, and I'm so glad because I've been there several times now and have always had a enjoyable experience. It's a relatively small place located across from Home Depot in Round Rock. Don't expect any lavished ambience or dark carpet, it's just a small operation with 3-4 rows of tables. I ordered a combination meat dish that had chicken, lamb and beef. It came with hummus, rice, and tabbouli as well. It was extremely tasty and the chicken was robust and full of taste. The waiter mentioned that they have a lunch buffet that is pretty popular, although I have yet to try it, but if you're looking for a reasonably priced Greek / Mediterranean food, give Zorba's a try! read more

What do you want after you've had all you can eat hamburgers from P. Terry's? Something light and healthy, that's what. I felt really gross after eating so much junk at a company event that I just wanted something healthy for dinner. The husband suggested Zorba for dinner and I'm mighty happy that he did. We've never been to Zorba before, but the reviews were good so we thought, "why not!?" Plus it's close to home so score! It's hidden between a nail salon and a pizza place near the Home Depot in Round Rock. Don't let the location fool you... Zorba is a hidden gem! We were quickly greeted and seated by the friendly staff. Our server recommended the gyro meat and specialty chicken... I love the rotating grills that cook the meat. It's always great to see your food cooked in front of you! The hubby got the gyro plate and I got the spinach and chicken plate. Mine included Zorba's specialty chicken with spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers sauteed in olive oil and topped with lemon juice. My oh my.. I'm so glad our server recommended this plate. It was so fresh and tasty! I did love the gyro meat as well! It had a crispy outside where the grill roasted the meat. Each plate comes with two sides (usually rice and hummus, but you can sub for another side), house salad, and pita bread. I can't get over the house salad. It was amazing!! It's topped with the house dressing and feta cheese. The dressing is cool, creamy, and refreshing... You'd be shocked that it's not dairy based! The service was great and the food amazing and fast. I'm already dreaming about that gyro and chicken meat! read more

It has been a couple of years since I last visited Zorba's. With more Greek and Middle Eastern popping up, there was no need to travel to Round Rock. BF and I decided to go again for dinner. Unlike during lunch, dinner is served to you at a table. Rather than order our usual Iron Pot Roast and Zorba's Chicken, we opted for the Zorba Feed Me Plate. This is a meal to be shared for sure. It comes in four courses, starting with our choice of either soup or salad. We both chose the Greek salad. It had lots of Feta cheese, romaine lettuce, a slice of tomato and cucumber and dressing. Next your choice of an appetizer to share, the Dolmathes were a dollar extra but that's what we wanted. They are huge fat dolmathes and taste so good. Two plates with the entrees were placed on the table. One plate contained two pieces of lamb, two grilled shrimp, a grilled tomato, onion and green pepper. The shrimp had good flavor but was overcooked. Lamb was tasty and cooked well. We split the grilled tomato and left the onion and pepper. The cup of hummus was a favorite. The second plate was piled with Gyro meat, chicken, rice, and sauted spinach. All were very good and scrumptious. Of course, there was way too much food for us to finish. We had to pack it up into three To Go boxes. Even tho we were full, there was room for dessert. The Choclava was picked. Imagine Baklava drizzled with hot fudge sauce. Oh, yes, it was worth it. They now serve beer and wine but all we had was the ice tea. Sorry, Zorba's, that we have neglected you for so long. With route 45 open,We will be back soon. read more

Not sure where all the positives reviews came from. This place was a dump. We went for lunch and sat in a booth. The wall had splatters all over it. We ordered the Lemon Chicken Soup, Gyro Plate and a side. We only ate 1/4 of the soup as it was bland and sour. Probably heated and days old. The side looked like a frozen food item at HEB they microwaved. Tasted even worse. The Gyro plate was not much better. The lamb was okay but dry. The hummus was watery and had zero flavor. How does a Greek place mess up hummus?? Didn't even try the rice - looked stale. The waitress was lousy at best. No way this is Greek. Some poor attempt to serve food and call it Mediterranean. Don't go. read more

De-li-cious! I am not the biggest fan of Greek food so when my husband suggested we take my mother in law there, I was not terribly excited. I forgot how much this place rocks. We have eaten here 3 times and I have had the exact same reaction each time -- WHY AGAIN DO I SAY I DON'T LOVE GREEK FOOD?" We have been all over Greece and I can tell you that the food at Zorba is wonderful, fresh, plentiful and the staff is really nice. May I suggest the next time you go, you try the "Feed Me Platter." It's plenty for 2 people with leftovers and you get to try a sampling of most of their awesome items. It's around $22 and well worth it and then some! The service here is top notch too. I am ready to go back! read more

I had a taste for gyros this afternoon so checked out Greek restaurants in Austin on Yelp and decided to try Zorba. My husband and I drove 40 minutes to get there hoping we wouldn't be disappointed. We were welcomed by Osvin as soon as we walked through the door and taken to our table. The interior was clean and had photographs of Greece on the walls and Greek music playing. We were delighted. Many items were offered on the menu but we decided on the Gyros Plate which was enough for the two of us to share. It came with rice and a side of moussaka. We ended up sharing a baklava with a glass of wine and a beer. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The next time we're hungry for Greek food, we will return to Zorba! read more

Service here is prompt and friendly. The waitress checked on us once during our meal and offered to send us home with to-go cups of water, which was excellent since we were on our way home to Dallas. The restaurant is clean and spacious with multi-stall restrooms provided (at least in the ladies' room.) We ordered the gyro wrap and the combo salad with tzatziki sauce on the side. It arrived after ten minutes or so and the portions are large. My salad came with a warm pita split in half, which is perfect for making mini gyro wraps. The salad dressing is cream based and has tons of garlic, so if you're hoping to get lucky after a date, I wouldn't recommend eating the dressing. It IS delicious though. This is will definitely be a place to return to. read more

Zorba - Combo salad with chicken and gyro meat - Greek Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Great food! I'm absolutely obsessed with the lemon chicken soup! We had the "feed me plate". Kind of a sample of their cuisine with enough food for at least 2 people (though i think three would be perfectly feed with it) read more

Food was the perfect portion and the taste was truly exceptional. Service only had one flaw, a first-time waitor accidentally spilled water on us. Luckily, he was very nice and gracious when serving us. The ambiance included traditional Greek mysic while having iconic prctures of buildings in Greece. Overall, exceptional experience. read more

We ordered combo plates with gyro meat and chicken, baba ganoush, hummus, falafels, lemon chicken soup and lentil soup. It was all good, the best things were the lentil soup and a piece of baklava we shared. Prices are a little high. The food was good....but....not great. Posted pics. read more

Good Food and Service! I ordered lamb kabob which came with hummus and rice pilaf. Lamb was well cooked and flavourful. Charred onions, peppers, and tomatoes were perfect. Hummus was very creamy and tasty. Rice pilaf was ok, not exciting. My husband got the vegetarian platter(choose 5 from a list). He chose hummus, veg dolmathes, falafel, lentil soup and spanokopita. DOLMATHES was the BEST. However, falafel was a disappointment. It didn't have any crunch or bite. It was very soft and soggy. Lentil soup and spanokopita were nice. Both the dishes came with a small salad and a pita basket. Pitas were very soft and warm. Overall, good food. read more

This was our first time in and we had a lovely experience! We were greeted at the door and immediately taken to our seats. Beverages came out quickly and so did the food. My husband got the chicken salad and I had the chicken wrap. Both were delicious! Lots of moist meat, sides were good, and the salad dressing was to die for. We still prefer our normal Greek place, but Zorba's may become a new favorite! Thanks for a good lunch! read more

We love your food and will not return to your restaurant. We ordered pick up because of COVID-19 and our risk factors. The food was not ready on time. Then I said I am not comfortable standing in here, can I wait outside and you bring it to me. I stood outside and watched 12-14 people go in over the next 20 minutes- I even opened the door and the counter person said I was next. More time, more people- I stood with the door open while she happily waited on person after person, finally saying- you can come in and get it. I said no- it is too dangerous- to be clear there were at least 10 people in line NOT social distancing, people eating in tables without masks--- way too risky. She just stared and some kind woman brought the food out. The demonstration of the lack of concern for my health and the lack of concern for my order being ready on time (I ordered it before you opened and was picking it up an hour after you opened) showed me that I don't want to frequent your restaurant ever again. I will take my money and business to a restaurant that cares about customer service and uses proper guidelines to keep people safe. read more

I love Greek food, and Zorba is the best in Round Rock. I may go farther and say it's the best in the North Austin area, but it's too similar to Tino's in food quality for me to make a distinction. They gyro is the main event at any greek restaurant, and it is great here. When I get it in a plate, I enjoy the domathes, baba ganoush, or hummus on the sides, but many other sides I've had are also good. The gyro wrap is also excellent. I don't know if it's an every day special, but last time I was there they had a special with a wrap and fries for under $7. For kids, they have a pretty serviceable cheese pizza made on pita bread. Or, my kids love the pita bread all by itself, too. Unlike Tino's or many other greek places in the area, service is sit-down with table service. Honestly, I could do without this, but it is good service, both prompt and friendly. read more

Came in on a Friday evening. Not happy. Stale food. Chicken was disgusting. Not coming back. Terrible service like they didn't care and the food was bad read more

First time going I was pretty open minded. Cleanliness is number one to me and this restaurant has failed miserably. The fans are white with BLACK dust on the blades. All the lights are dusty and the chair legs are dirty as well. The restaurant looks like it was a shop turned into a diner. I had the Greek salad and it was drenched with dressing. The hummus was very plain. I won't be going back. read more

Very disappointed. I love Greek food and this really fell short. I had the Zorba chicken plate-chicken was dry, tzatziki tasted sour so I wasn't sure if it was maybe expired and the rice side dish I'm sorry was just pathetic! Sticky overcooked plain white rice with slivered almonds. The only decent part of the meal was the pita and hummus and side salad. Unfortunately we won't be back--I can make better Greek food at home. read more

First time to try Zorba's and probably my last. Ordered the combo plate which came with a salad, side of hummus, and rice. The salad was way over-dressed and the gyro meat was like Greek jerky (hard as a rock) and way over cooked. Everything else way fine. I LOVE Greek and thought I'd found another place to enjoy it, guess not. read more

Zorba - Look! Greek jerky! - Greek Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Easily accessible right off I-35 in Round Rock, Texas. If I could give half points, I would rate 3 1/2 stars. The food was good, but food preparations areas looked like they could use some updating and deep cleaning. However, the service was professional and pleasant. The main restaurant sitting area was clean, and ambiance was good. The food was good. I have done a fair amount of international travel, so I would say it was legit Greek food, but not great. It may very well be some of the best in the area, as we don't have many choices. I would recommend you try it, but don't set your expectations too high. We will try again when craving Greek food. read more

I love this place! Great option for delicious Greek food! It may seem odd but their coffee is delicious! Hummus is on point and so is there tzatziki. Love love love! read more

Yum, is really all I can say. We got the sampler entree and it came with so much. It was absolutely delicious. We were so excited we had some to take home. The hummus was good but just a bit tangy for my taste. The gyro and chicken over rice, oh so yummy. The veggies and spinach that comes out with it, yes this platter was so good. The salad was good and we substituted another hummus (my mom loved hummus) for the other salad. Neither one of us cared for the 2nd course. The spinach wrap with the meat inside and the meat ball things (I can't recall their proper name). Overall great experience. Will definitely go back. read more

I've been to a lot of Greek places all over and without a doubt this is one of my favorite places to eat. Their gyros are the best but everything else there is so good. Quiet atmosphere, very friendly staff. read more

It's a decent deal for the money. They make their dolmathes in house. The chicken plate was filling and is your pretty typical Mediterranean fast food. read more

Everything was heavenly on this visit as was the last. We got the feed me plate and paid 2 extra dollars for 4 more dolmathes (grape leaved beef filled appetizers) this time around. This time I had the Caesar salad, which was fresh unlike at majority of restraunts that serve iceberg lettuce with it. Best Greek I've had and defiantly best choice to eat here again, will be a regular here. read more

An acquaintance of mine has raved about Zorba for over a year, saying we just HAVE to visit. Well, last night, my husband and in laws all finally stopped in! It was a little after 8, so there was only maybe 2 other tables being occupied. We sat in a large booth at the front, where there was plenty of room for the 5 of us. A server quickly came to deliver menus and take drink orders. After looking over the menu for a while, we finally decided to get the hummus and tabouleh app to share at the table, and it was delivered promptly, along with plenty of pita for dipping. The hummus was a little thinner than I'm used to but tasty, the tabouleh was a delight, but, oh my gosh, the pita was delicious. Every time it was brought to our table, it was warm, impossibly fluffy, and oh so delicious. I don't eat a lot of bready items usually, but I ate at least 2 whole pita last night, maybe even 2.5. For our entrees, my father in law got the gyro platter, mother in law & husband got the Zorba chicken, and my brother in law and I got the veggie plates (you get to pick 5 veggie items for a plate, so we both had double falafel and lentil soup, I had more tabouleh & a dolma, while he had tzatziki & spanakopita). Our salads came out pretty swiftly and had a very tasty vegan dressing on top. I'd asked for no feta, but the rest of the table had feta, and because they use really finely crumbled feta here, it all clumped together and several people got whole mouthfuls of feta. Entrees weren't far behind, and everyone was very pleased. My husband was shocked at how deliciously grilled and charred his chicken was while still being very tender (mom in law agreed). My father in law doesn't say much, but he ate his whole gyro plate and sopped up the sauce! The lentil soup was, by far, the star of our veggie plates, we both agreed, and my husband and mom in law who tasted it also agreed. It is phenomenal, and I joked with the server that I needed a gallon of it to go. My dolma was tasty but came slathered in tzatziki, which I wiped off (not mentioned on the menu, and I'd clearly been ordering vegan the rest of the meal, so I wish something would've been said about it). Bro in law enjoyed his spanakopita, too. The HUGE letdown here is their falafel. They are...unpleasant and mushy. I noticed on the menu they add potato to their mix, but it still said it contained chickpea. I honestly couldn't taste or feel the telltale sort of crunchiness one gets with actual chickpea falafel at any point when eating mine, that's how much potato they use. Bro in law agreed, they were sort of gross and we wouldn't order them again. Overall, this place is really great, at least as a sit down table service dinner spot (I understand it may be sort of cafeteria style during lunch?). The falafel's are major letdown, especially since it's their only vegan 'protein', but everything else we had really makes up for it. I do hope they reconsider their falafel recipe, though. Oh! And our server! She was truly amazing and very attentive! read more

Zorba - Zorba Plateado it's just perfect. - Greek Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Great food, awful service/experience. Firstly, their website just has food items listed as, "New Item: Add new description." But it's copy-write date is 2019, so I guess they'e spent the last 2 months just not updating it? So I went to order pickup on yelp. They're listed as delivery only. So I tried grubhub, but they're listed as not open. Then, their google menu doesn't even have items like gyros listed as options, when they obviously are. Finally, after giving up on their poor internet presence, we called in the pickup order and my girlfriend got it home. They had forgotten our fries. So, bad experience plus screwing us out of $2, never again. read more

I came here a few months ago and had a good experience, but went back the other day and it's just not the same. First off, when I went the first time it was waiter service, and it's now counter service. It's now more of a Chipotle set up/counter service. This would work okay, except some of the menu items like the "combo plate" or the "vegetarian plate" have absolutely no description. I got the falafel wrap yesterday and while the flavors were good, the falafel was more like a soggy pancake. There was no tasty crunch like you're supposed to get. And service was pretty meh. Kind of bummed they decided to change things up, not sure it's worth it to go to again anymore. read more

After viewing some pretty great review of this place, I decided that it was time to give Zorba a try. I have been searching for a good Greek place in Round Rock for some time, and am glad that I finally came. I ordered the Gyro Plate for to-go, and was pleased by the excellent flavors. The Gyro Plate is a combo that comes with a small salad, hummus, tzadziki sauce, pita bread, rice pilaf, and a generous portion of the roasted beef/lamb blend. The rice pilaf was soft and buttery, and the roasted beef/lamb blend had the right combination of spices. But let's not forget their pita bread, because it is probably the best pita bread I've had from a Greek restaurant. Their pita bread is toasted to a perfect golden brown, fluffy, and has the most inviting aroma (almost smells like a freshly-baked donut). However, as other reviewers have mentioned, the hummus was too sour, and definitely overpowered the chickpea flavor. But despite that, to-go orders are always ready within the promised time frame and often earlier (I've actually ordered at least 3 more times since my initial visit). I highly recommend calling in your order for pickup for the quickest to-go service. Overall, this is the place to go when the Greek food cravings kick-in. The food has been consistently pretty great from my experience, and that Gyro Plate just keeps me coming back for more. read more

I was very impressed with Zorba. I ordered takeout and the food was so good!! The pita bread, tabouli and hummus were especially wonderful. They were generous with the portions too. I will be ordering from them again! read more

The food was meh - particularly overcooked yet not very hot today. Additionally, my server accidentally through a bucket of water that landed all over my back. She didn't have the courtesy to actually come to the table and apologize, much less offer a towel. Then all the teen girls working disappeared for a good giggle. Don't come on a Sunday when they are table service only unless you want to be underwhelmed. read more

We have now dined at this fine establishment four times, and each time the food and the service has been fantastic. The portions are large the prices are fair. My gf and I will continue to enjoy this fine establishment for years to come. Thank you for providing Round Rock with authentic Greek food! PRO Tip: the sautéed spinach is incredible, and if you're a spice freak you'll enjoy their hot sauce. read more

First time in and everything was pretty tasty. Don't know if we would order the entree again but it was a unique flavor. The apps were delicious and the baklava was to die for. Definitely will go back to try more. read more
