The Combination Plate is the must-have, with the caveat that the average customer may not be able to finish it. This four-meat stunner is accompanied by a surprisingly large salad and a side choice that hopefully will be lemon potatoes. I was unsure why I came here in August and posted only a salad picture. While not on the level of, say, finding a Paul Westerberg rarities CD, I was glad to discover there was a combo photo in the vault. If you're only opting for one meat, my favorite is the beef and lamb gyro. I enjoyed the service as well as the seasonal sidewalk dining option. read more

Gyro. OKAY. Although the GYRO was surprisingly SMALL, it was still satisfying enough. Eating it cold was definitely a mistake on my part. CAUTION. read more

I was headed to Astoria Park and craving a gyro. Zorbas came up on my list of places that were on my way there, so I stopped in to grab one to go. When you walk in there's a cashier to place a to-go order, and there are a few tables in front as well. The main dining area for those who are getting table service looks like it's further back. It was decently busy for a Thursday night. It's old school looking in here but charming. I ordered a chicken gyro and the cashier quoted me ten minutes. It was done in a little less time than that. The gyro itself was pretty good, the chicken was tender and the sauce was plentiful. I really wished there were more onions, tomatoes and lettuce on here though, it felt like I was eating mostly chicken. Overall a good experience though, I would come here again if I were in this part of Astoria again. read more

We order from here often and we are usually satisfied with the food. Today, the food was far from appetizing. The cheese pie was burnt on the bottom, I only tasted charged dough, the pork gyro was dry and flavorless and the pita was rubbery. Very disappointed, hoping this is a one of thing. Chicken gyro was delicious except for the rubbery pita. read more

Ate here today for lunch and dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q that I had the Zorbas platter with a cold bottle of Sprite and it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and pleasant. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

Zorba's Souvlaki Plus - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

I believe last time I went to Zorba's they were half the size. They now have a whole rear section and an outdoor section. Friendly service and decent food. Absolutely great for a quick, leisurely bite. I don't frequent Greek restaurants in Astoria nor know Greek cuisine, but Zorba's offers more than your quintessential gyro and souvlaki. I feel they are good 3 and 1/2 stars; more than just an "OK", but not quite the full 4. read more

We were in Astoria and found Zorba's after a failed attend to try the Souvlaki lady. The food was great, the place was clean, and the service was very kind. We had a large group and they were able to accommodate us. Favorites around the table were the gyro deluxe, Greek salad, and the soup of the day! read more

Ordered delivery and it came quickly. Tried the horiatiki salad and chicken gyro; both were good but nothing special. I did think the tzatziki was way too garlicky. I'd say this was by no means bad, but there are better options for gyro around. read more

So this place was very cute and had a really good breakfast vibe, I ordered the Hungry Man Omelette and it came with Toast, Hash Browns and a Ham, Cheese, Onion Omelette. The Omelette is VERY delicious, the taste of the cheese in the onelette was perfect, I love alot of cheese in my omelette and they know how to out cheese inside and the Egg was cooked really good. The hash Browns were ok, the potatoes are really good but the Green Pepper was a little too much pepper-y for me but everything was good. read more

The first time I dined at Zorba's, I thought the food was just okay. But since then, they've won me over with my to-go orders. Their plates (~$18-20) include a main, pitas, your choice of fries/rice/lemon potatoes, and Greek salad, all generously sized. And the tzatziki is quite delicious with heaps of cucumber cubes and garlic. Oh, if you're feeling under the weather, their avgolemono soup ($4-10) will pick you up! The Zorba's version is lighter on the lemon and uses rice. read more

Great for a quick bite and good food. I would highly recommend sitting in their backyard patio if weather permits. read more

This is a great spot for some great Greek food when you're in Astoria. We went to another recommended spot with a 2 hour wait and came across Zorba's Souvlaki Plus. Gotta say best decision ever. The Chicken Souvlaki and Lemon Potatoes were phenomenal and quickly became a favorite. We became regulars during our short visit and the food didn't disappoint. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I haven't found anything as good here in Houston. read more

They forgot something on my order and I called asked them to come back the guy on the phone sounded surprised that I wanted him to come back and then stated that he does not know when they could come back as it was busy and he would try to fit it in at some point...when I told him this was unacceptable he then asked me if I wanted to be charged an additional charge for them to come back right away. Never again. read more

Greek dining casual style Zorbas is a Greek dining casual-style eatery. Being right next to Stamatis means that their culinary focus is more casual, with Greek salads, gyros, and souvlaki. They are also less expensive. We enjoyed the outdoor dining on the sidewalk and the quick service. We ordered a Greek Salads, souvlaki of course, and Greek soda. Will we be back, yes! This is the perfect spot if you are looking for a less busy casual eatery! read more

Was here several months ago with a group of 12 as this place does separate checks for everyone which was nice for such a big group. We sat in the large outside area. The menu is a mix of Greek and general American diner food and the prices are overall pretty reasonable. I had a Loux to drink (sour cherry) and the Plaka Panini as my meal. This consisted of gyro, cooked onions & peppers, and mozzarella, with French fries & tzatziki sauce and it was $9 or $12 as a deluxe option. Said option came with French fries on the side along with coleslaw and a pickle. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread could have been a bit fresher but the gyro meat was pretty tasty and the mix of veggies and cheese made it satisfying while the fries inside were of course quite soft. The deluxe wasn't worth it with the fries being bit thick so they weren't that crispy (i.e. not good all around) and the coleslaw and pickles were throwaways. I probably should have just gotten a small thing of lemon potatoes or their spanakopita/spinach pie or something instead. Other people thought their food was fine also. For the prices, the food is worth it but there are tastier options in the area. read more

I got food poisoning. I ordered food to go because I had the flu, and now I have food poisoning on top of it.

This place makes really great pork gyro and fries! It's always what I get when I come here. The pork is well prepared and nicely marinated. It comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and their white sauce. The fries are nice and crispy and not oily! They definitely compliment each other, but this time around i went a lil healthier with a grilled chicken salad! Friendly staffs and great service. The food never disappoints. Excellent Greek gyros. Simple, perfectly cooked, and spiced. Moist and slightly charred at the edges, giving the meat a variable texture. Simple and good Greek food...a frequent option for me! Huge portions. Authentic Greek dining. DELICIOUS. Excellent family dinning experience. The service is very friendly. Astoria has lots of great Greek eateries but this place tastes great and is affordable. Highly recommend. read more

I'm writing this on the quality of service and the amazing horiatiki salad I shared with friends. The waitress was so incredibly nice and attentive. And the aforementioned salad--which is different from a Greek salad because it does not have lettuce--instead this one had big juicy red tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced onions and peppers and tons more feta cheese. Plus ample olives. You pour your own olive oil and vinegar. I'm Greek and it was one of the most delectable horiatiki salads I've ever had. Otherwise this place is kind of a mix between a diner and a Greek food joint. I see they have classic Greek dishes such as moussaka, roast chicken and Greek potatoes. I can't speak to those since I did not try them. They have a garden It was nice to hang out on a cool day. read more

Only experience here was take out, but the outdoor seating on a nice day made it tempting to want to return. I got the classic greek salad for $11 with grilled chicken. Authentic, filling and incredibly well priced! I did not add the pita because it was .75 extra and I could not justify paying for carbs but I got a pita in the salad anyway. Yum. The dressing was on the side without even having to ask which was good because I was late to pick up my order so I didn't have to worry about the salad being soggy. I asked for no olives and there was one olive but it was easy enough to eat around. Staff was inviting and fast. read more

The various meals I ordered were great but I also ordered a few drinks along with the food but although they did follow instructions no ice but the restaurant is not at fault, the person or manager did not represent the person who was handling the drinks. he/she did not read the instructions or does not have common sense. If someone wants something sweet , you don't add lemon to lemonade or tea because lemon absorbs the sugar. Your suppose to let the consumer decide if its too sweet or not and let them add the lemon, not you. so if I want something sweet, eliminating the ice was a great surprise, but then they messed up adding the lemon and way too much lemon!!!!!! I mean don't you know Lemon absorbs the sugar. DUH. Oh one more thing, bring the tzatziki a notch or two down, its still too strong. I haven't ordered because of the tzatziki Iced Lemonade * Large (+ $3.25) "NO ICE IN DRINKS. I HAVE ICE AND BESIDES IF IT MELTS IT WILL TAKE THE SWEETNESS AWAY. IT WILL TASTE LIKE DIET. YUCK" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In my comment I even said if ice melts it takes the sugar away ----------------------- SO WHY DID HE GO AND STICK LEMON IN IT, and LOTS OF LEMON!!! I already said it will take the SWEETNESS away. ADDING LEMON IS NUTS. I TRIED ADDING SUGAR BUT ITS NOT THE SAME SUGAR that is already pre made at restaurants SO PLEASE ADDING LEMON IS NUTS read more

I have been a patron of Zorba's for approximately 10 years. This afternoon, I went into the store to buy two pieces of spinach pie. When I entered the restaurant, neither the cashier, nor the owner were properly wearing masks. The cashier was wearing her mask below her nose and the older/elderly gentleman (who I assume is the owner) was not wearing a mask at all. After I placed my order for two pieces of spinach pie, I watched the owner use a plastic fork and his dirty hands to package the food. It was bad enough that he didn't wear gloves to touch the food, but he didn't even wash his hands or use hand sanitizer. I'm pretty sure that's some kind of health code violation. After I stared at the cashier long enough, she finally pulled up her mask. This entire experience was shocking because neither of these people seemed to realize/care that there is a deadly COVID-19 pandemic currently ravaging NYC. Since Zorba's clearly doesn't care about the health & safety of their customers, I'm saying goodbye- I hope not following a simple safety protocol was worth losing a customer. read more

The food was delicious. It's an authentic Greek casual place. Good service and attention.

Average: 3.83 stars. VERY generous portions. Spinach pie: 4.5 Spinach pie tasted fresh & homemade Lamb Souvlaki: 4.0 Juicy chunks of meat in a large pita, could have used some hot sauce Gyro Wrap: 3.0 Kind of bland, good to fill up on. Service: 5.0 The cashier woman did everything and was wonderful. Would come back to try the carrot cake and eat the spinach pie again. read more

(2nd review, the old one is a few years old) So I've heard stories from some locals about the days when Astoria was basically little Athens and the area was brimming with amazing Greek eateries and bakeries. Sadly these days the options are not as abundant so when you get a hankering for a basic souvlaki dinner Zorba's on 23rd avenue, right down the street from the Ditmars stop of the N train is pretty much one of the very few options. Family run for years, Zorba's has the vibe of a little restaurant you might find yourself in on a hot Greek afternoon while touring one of the gorgeous Greek islands. Now if you're looking for a Greek speciality like "Mousaka" or "Pastichio" theres a much better option next door at Stamatis or take the N train down to Broadway for a meal at Bahari. Zorba's is for souvlaki. You can get the Greek classic in pork, chicken or lamb and it comes with a choice of Greek rice, fries or lemon potatoes; a side Greek salad and warm pita bread. The portion is decent. They give you ONE pita bread, but I think a basket of several would be much better. I give Zorba's 4/5 stars because their souvlaki dinners are great and I value family and tradition. I'd have given them 5 stars if they'd reward regular customers (I go there what, once a month?) with a piece of "baklava" and if the owner wouldn't sit there like a grumpy old man with a puss on his face. Say hi! welcome back! friendliness goes a long way! The negatives won't keep this hungry bear away from Zorba's though, and I feel a pork souvlaki dinner and an ice cold Greek beer in my not so distant future! For years of quality souvlaki, you cant go wrong. read more

Wonderful to take out or dine in-- especially when their quiet, shady backyard is open! Consistent quality and generous portions... My husband and I ordered delivery for dinner a little over a week ago, and today we stopped by for a casual, quiet lunch in the backyard. He had the chicken Souvlaki plate with rice and salad, and I had a Greek salad with pork gyro and a side of tzatziki. We each had a glass of house wine. Our server today was very friendly and attentive (wish I was better with names!). My husband's chicken Souvlaki was tender and juicy, and the "side" Greek salad it came with was much bigger than he expected, and was topped with fresh feta. My Greek salad was wonderful, topped with perfectly cooked pork gyro, and their fresh tzatziki sauce is still my neighborhood favorite-- it has a smooth consistency with a really nice bite of fresh garlic. The wine was a nice touch to the meal. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

We have been getting food from this location for a long time. Always enjoyed the food. Once they did the renovations there food quality and quantity definitely went down. Ordered a food pickup today went in about 20 minutes later to pick up waited an additional 20 minutes inside(they definitely forgot to put the order up). Unfortunately we had already paid online or would have canceled the order within a few minutes wait. So decided to wait it out. Order finally ready drive home take everything out and of course they forgot my gyro sandwich. So had to get back in the car drive back and pick it up. The guy gave me the old sandwich and a new hot one to make up for the mistake but the best part is I ordered plain gyro and both had lettuce,tomato,and onion. And my wife got the runs after eating her burger. So it will be a while before we give them another shot. read more

The difference between Zorba's and other multitude of Greek places in the area is that it satisfies the cheap, quick, large potions, no frills kind of meal. In good weather, you can also sit outside which is quite nice. You can get a platter if you are hungry or do a la carte to pick and choose your skewers and sides. The sampler plate is a good way to try everything and it is portioned for two. Everything is very fresh and well prepared. The plates come with a Greek salad to start. The sides are really good especially their lemon potatoes. The service is great, efficient, and with a smile. read more

This is a solid choice if you're hankering for some Mediterranean and don't want to break the bank. Zorba's has a family-owned, casual diner feel, perfect if you're looking for a no frills kind of meal. And honestly, this place doesn't need frills, the food speaks for itself. I just moved to the neighborhood and have been looking new spots to add to the rotation. Definitely made the right choice. Came here on a weeknight with friend, and I initially wanted to dine al fresco on the tables outside, but it was bit chilly so we sat indoors. The waitress/host was so pleasant and friendly as she took our orders -- exactly what you expect from this type of mom and pop establishment. Before I get to the food, I need to mention that beers here are DIRT CHEAP - $3.50 for domestics and $4.00 for imports. I can't remember the last time I spent less than $5 for a beer at a restaurant. Made me question if I really was in NYC... Anyway, my friend and I decided to split a small greek salad to start, and then go halfsies with the gyro pita and souvlaki pita. The greek salad was on point - very fresh veggies, perfectly dressed, and quality feta on top. As for the pitas, both we're equally tasty. The gyro meat was juicy and well-seasoned, while the souvlaki was tender and really flavorful. The pita bread was okay, maybe just a tad dried out. Overall, the sandwiches totally hit the spot. The final bill for the two of us came out to $30. I mean c'mon...just $15/person for a beer and that amount of delicious food? I'll take that 8 days a week. read more
