I ordered online through EatStreet, which I guess is what happens when you just follow the order online links from the yelp page. Anyway, it took over 1 1/2 hours to get here. There was a $12.00 delivery fee. $12.00! I don't know if that's all from Zorbas or if that's an EatStreet thing. To top it all off, they forgot to put the gyro meat on my pizza. The pizza tastes just ok, but is way overpriced ($20 for a small). Don't waste your time with this place. read more

This place is cool. Nice environment. I went there only once. I had Gyro. It's so good but the size vs price... I am not sure. I need to go there more often to try other plates. read more

The food was just okay. After wanting a good Gyro, I searched for a Greek restaurant. Zorba's is a quaint restaurant in DuPont Circle if you care about atmosphere. The food was not too great given that I have had better in the mall. The Gyro was very dry and the fries were salty. As far as cheap eat...it is cheap because it is all self -serve. read more

Pretty heartbroken to have to write a negative review of this place t but today was just unacceptable given how positive my visits there have been. Let's start with what we ordered: for dinner a Cheesesteak and a Felafel sandwich. The cheesesteak was made with something other than top-round beef and was mostly fatty gristle, it also had pickles in it which I immediately tasted and were overwhelming and seemed entirely out of place on something like a cheesesteak. The felafel was dry and had been more than a little overcooked and was served on stale pita. The baklava dessert was also stale. I do not think portion control is such a bad idea but to pay 8 dollars for two small sandwiches that were overcooked, tasteless, and used grade F cuts of meat was really disappointing. I've visited Zorba's many times before and really enjoyed the food and the friendly staff/owners, but it will be awhile before I am back. It's supremely disappointing to see one of my favorite places that offered cheap, delicious food fall so far. read more

Please read the Full reports - "57 Reviews not Recommended." This restaurant used to have better sized portions, the food itself was somewhat above average. They have cut back, and some items are pricey; salad is one example: unsatisfactory feta cheese in the salad, mundane lettuce, only one olive (per salad!). The bread roll was dense, and not baked enough. Not sure if management has changed since these observations are all much worse than 2 years ago. read more

I used to think this was good until I got more acquainted with Mediterranean food. Now I think it's just OK. I'll pick it up on the way home from work if the mood strikes me. Although one time I tried that and it wound up being a lot more expensive than anticipated. Bummer. read more

Wow...I can's believe it took me so long to go back. I went back to Zorba's for the first time in a few years and all I have to say is WOW! I can think of no better place to spend a Sunday brunch that at Zorba's in Dupont. We got a yero and falafel and two Amstel Lights and sat outside on a great Spring morning...what else could have been better! read more

This place is cozy and delicious! The food was amazing. I ordered a Yero plate with pork. The pork was crispy and juicy. All the food is served hot and the seasoning is perfect. The salad is really fresh too. My friends and I really enjoyed our time here! read more

The chicken souvlaki was AMAZING! Haven't tasted anything better at a Greek restaurant. I substituted provolone cheese for the Feta as well. Staff is friendly and accommodating, plenty of seating areas in and outside, and nice Greek music playing in the background. Mint spot! read more

Went to Zorba's while taking a weekend in DC. Service was quick and the food was very good. Highly recommended.

I have tried quite a few Greek places in the DuPont area. Zorba's is by far the best for the $$. The chicken souvlaki patter is around $10 and it is quite the meal, the chicken is tasty and full of flavor. The pitas here are so yummy, so soft and tender. Like everyone has said before, you order at a counter and its self seating... definitely not a "date" place...a great place to grab a quick bite to eat without all the fuss of a waitstaff and not have to settle on fast food. On the other side of things, the staff doesn't "rush" you out of there...you can easily waste a few hours sitting by the window with a friend after a meal and chat away without anyone bothering you. read more

I feel so lucky that a friend of mine introduced me to this place one evening. I was still new to the city, hadn't got an apartment yet, but...had found this nice place to eat. Specially in the evening, Zorba is such a beautiful place to be... (I'm talking about the outdoor area, coz inside gets a bit too noisy sometimes...) The food is really good... I didn't know that Greek food tasted this good before.. Ithought Greek food was only feta cheese and olives, but Zorba has proven that it is more than that... I've been to Zorba 5 times, and everytime I ordered the same item. It's the combination platter for 14.50. It's a good way for you to taste a little bit of everything. so, on that combination platter you have rice wrapped in grape leaves, kefte, souvlaki, meat on skewer (don't remember what it's called), mini salad, 2 slices of pita, relly good hummus and a side of yogurt cucumber dressing. I love this place so much that I always recommend it to all my friends. It's a must try. You'll fall in love with it..! read more

i love this place, but perhaps it is mostly for the nostalgia and memories coupled with the 1) great view of the neighborhood in good weather on the patio or upstairs looking out the window and 2) hearty food with cold beer on a warm summer day... read more

I will admit that I have seem this place since living in Washington, DC and have never been. My Greek food intake was baklava and grape leaves. So when Group-on decided to have a offer, my husband and I decided it was time to try it out. We met after a long day at work (for me) and it was nice to have someone else cook for us. It was also the first time in years that i had a totally vegetation dinner. I had the falafel pita and tyro-pita. They were both excellent. I was very happy with my choices. The gentleman at the ordering counter was also very very nice to us. He could tell we had never been there and was very helpful in allowing us to loiter as we tried to decided what we wanted. It all looked so very good. My husband had the Gyro. He said it was a very long time since he had such a good Gyro. I am not going to give this five stars ONLY due to the fact that the seating was a little crowded and I was a little claustrophobic due to it. BUT the food gets all four stars from me and in yelp terms that means "yay! I'm a fan!" read more

First I have to admit I've never met a Greek restaurant I didn't like. But I appreciated the casual, neighborhood feel of this restaurant, large menu that would satisfy anyone, and their beer selection. My out-of-town friends and I stopped by after walking around the monuments all day and were starving. Food was ready quickly even though they had a steady line of orders, and everyone's food looked good and well portioned--not Greek portions, but ones that you can actually finish and not feel completely gross about afterwards. read more

Tried out this place with a friend, which is nice since everyone can buy on ther own, so no need to worry about splitting a check. We picked a table, and got to sit there for quite some time- which is nice, since you don't feel like the waiter/-ress is trying to get you out there door. Even the guy cleaning off our plates was letting us munch on what we didn't eat, so it's nice and relaxing. I bet when there is a lot of people there, it could get a bit loud- but overall you could have a semi-private discussion without a problem. There are a lot of choices on the menu, some do stick out as very yummy: olives, hummus, souvalki, pita bread, etc. I had a the Yero Plate (yero, pita, salad, fries). The meat was great, not too greasy or over-salted. The pita was amazingly delicious, I probably could have eaten 5 more! The fires were actually really great, small and crispy. So overall the meal was great, and it was a decent portion- since I didn't even finish it all. My friend had Shish Kebob (rice, kabob, and usually salad but she asked for hummus). She felt that her portion was a bit small, since there was a only 1 kabob. Overall, my experience was pretty good, not sure if I'd ever go back unless you want some great hummus and olives. Maybe it'd be a better place for lunch, or sitting outside on a sunny day. read more

Reliable and tasty Greek food. A little bit of a wait at the times you would expect, but it's worth it.

Eat here. Whatever you're doing stop now and drive to Zorba's for food. The food is delicious, the restaurant has a great Greek vibe, and it's got an awesome location in DuPont. The food will come quickly, taste amazing, and you'll be glad you came. Splurge and get some baklava; you'll be glad you did. read more

This is a wonderful little place, and the people that work there are very kind and helpful. We came there for the first time and found the prices low, the portions large, and the food delicious. We'll be back ! read more

Love Zorba's. It's fairly inexpensive and the atmosphere is always nice -especially out on the patio in good weather. I usually stick to the gyro sandwich -it's great! And I love the tabbouleh. read more

OMG this place is amazing. We spent 3+ hours here eating apps and enjoying some wine. The fire feta is to die for-just spicy enough but not too spicy for sensitive folks. Tzatziki was delish- nice & fresh. Soft pita bread & flavorful falafel were also a hit! The Greek salad was cold, fresh & had great dressing! Also had a good HH from 4-7 which we missed, but $3 house wine & beer & 1/2 price hummus & tzatziki. Come here! read more

I've only had a few things here, but I love the food. I especially like the orzo in tomato sauce, fasolia (white beans with onion, tomato, and spices) and the spanakopita. They have some tasty vegetarian options, service is good, and it's a cozy place with a good happy hour. The patio has strands of lights strung across it; it's a nice date spot. read more

Best greek place I have had in DC. It's a little pricey, but considering where they are in DC, it could be a lot worse!

Unpretentious resturant run by a very nice and friendly Greek family. Food was excellent. Had mixed appetizer plate and moussaka. Both we very good. First time having Skordalia and boy was it yummy. Place was hopping on a Saturday night. Cannot wait to go back! read more

I been to Zorbas Cafe once, but I gotta tell you, it was fantastic place to eat. I tried their variety platter. It was very good Greek quality food. If you have a personal taste for something different and unusual flavors, try this place. Their food is fresh. It's a good restaurant to bring the family. I need to wait a little long to get my food, but it was worth it. read more

One of my favorite places in DC! The location is perfect and the atmosphere is great, but the delicious food is the best part. The chicken shish kabobs and fire feta dip are amazing. The service is always above and beyond. Great people, great restaurant. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to eat in DC. It's got tons of room, friendly people, delicious food, and low prices. You order at the counter and find a seat, they prepare your food and call your number and you pick it up. They are great for groups, there's outdoor and upstairs seating; it's a wonderful place to eat alone, on a date, with a few friends, or a larger group. I had my rehearsal dinner here (they can arrange to close off a portion of the upstairs for special events like that). It's a family restaurant, with family recipes, great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I'm vegetarian, and my favorite is the fire feta, which comes with Greek pita. Beer, wine, and baclava round out the meal. Right by the Dupont Circle metro (north/Q street exit). Zorbas, yay! read more

I like to come here for lunch, especially when the weather is nice. They have outdoor patio seating that allows you to enjoy the scenery around Dupont Circle while you eat. Pretty good greek food, not the best in the city but for the price of the location not bad. read more

We went tonight with a bunch of hungry kids and hungry adults. The food came fast. It was delicious (baba ganouj was a bit to garlicky) and reasonably priced. None of us had been in years. We'll definitely go back again. read more

Food tastes good. But, the restaurant is so dirty. The hot sauce bottles look like they are years old. Also there is always a 3/4 empty coffee pot burning on the burner. read more

Visited Washington DC for a few days and had read about Dupont Circle. Our group came up Zorba's. Loved the building and the food, yuumy gyro! read more

My absolute favorite place to get Greek in DC. Love the friendly staff, the wonderful menu, and the flavorful food. I always get the appetizer sampler plate. read more

I always get the chicken souvlaki pita and it's always good but I feel like it's overpriced. For $12 I get a sandwich and a soda but it seems like fries or a side salad should be included in that and it's not. I agree with others that the set up is weird. Overall good food, quick serivce, but overpriced. read more

My favorite Greek Restaurant in the area. Gyros are good although a little over priced for the amount of meat you get. Very casual. Like the outside seating which turns over pretty quickly so you can almost always get seated outside. read more

We needed to grab dinner before a concert, and since my partner wanted some ice cream from Larry's we figured we might as well look for something in the area. And DAMN was that a good idea! Although we'd seen the overwhelmingly strong reviews on Yelp!, we didn't really anticipate how crowded the place would be. We grabbed the last two-top on the upper level - because the restaurant was EXTREMELY crowded, navigating to the table was a challenge. My partner remarked later that it was a good thing he hadn't brought his bag as he was originally intending, since the additional width would have made it impossible to navigate the dining room. Because it was a special occasion and we wanted to sample the menu, we got a wider variety of food than we would have normally: dolmas, spanakopita, tabouli, the falafel sandwich, and the single-serving calamari. The spanakopita was VERY good, as was the falafel sandwich. The calamari were a little bland on their own (as has been mentioned in other posts) but the accompanying lemon + sauce made it delicious. Any additional spicing would have rendered the sauce overwhelming, I think. The tabouli was a liiiitle strong on the parsley for my tastes but my partner loved it and since he's the pickiest vegetarian I've ever met, I can offer no significant complaints about anything that makes him respond with "this is so good!". The dolmas were kind of disappointing - they basically tasted like slightly sweet rice mush in a wrapper - so I would not order them again but they weren't horrible. Just not quite to our tastes. Since before we even finished we were talking about what we would order "next time", I think it's safe to say we will be returning to Zorbas somewhat frequently. (as an additional side note, they label their gluten-free, dairy-free, nut, and veggie options with color coding; absolutely LOVED that!) read more

Amazing food, very fresh and authentic! Great atmosphere. Plenty of options for vegetarians and a wide variety of dishes in general. I was surprised how quickly our food was ready and the restaurant was packed. It is very convenient to get to, less than a block from the Dupont Circle metro stop. Nice seating area outside. I definitely recommend this family owned restaurant to anyone looking for a casual place to get delicious/fast/fresh food! read more

Really liked this casual Greek establishment. Diners order at the counter and collect their food in about 10 mins. I had the sampling plate - gyro meat, a kebob, dolmades, some sort of pork patty, hummus and a salad. Really good! I especially liked the kebob and the gyro meat - very flavorful. Had a glass of wine, sat outside in the beautiful sunshine...what's not to like. And all for $20. Would definitely go back. read more

Love this place. It's a step up from most fast casual joints and has delicious, fresh greek food you order at the register but can relax in the window at a table with a white tablecloth and feel like you're at a restaurant. read more

A great "cheap eat"'in DC - everything I've ever had here is succulent and well flavored!

Authentic Greek food with great flavor and such a cute place. Deff try the spanakopita! Great happy hour beer prices too.
