My friend & I passed this place while driving through Ivanhoe one day and knew we had to stop by! I…read moream so glad we did. The stars of our meal were the spanakopita and moussaka. The moussaka was so good i can't wait to go back. The pita was warm and fresh and paired great with the hummus. We sat outside so we had a great view of the lake. There was also indoor seating and it was decorated nice on the inside. The service was also incredible. My sister got the gyro and enjoyed it! The baklava was just ok but it was my first time trying so it's possible I just am not a fan. They have a small parking lot but there should be plenty of parking along the lake. Overall such a yummy experience and a new go to spot for Greek food in the area!

The salmon was delicious. However, I retracted my tip and will not return…read more It was my first time to eat there. I was only one of two parties in the restaurant. I asked upon entering about the authenticity of the Greek Potatoes (which I really enjoy at Santorini's and at The Acropolis) . When my waitress came around I reiterated how I was looking forward to the Greek Potatoes and what would she recommend to go with them. I told her I was not interested in any other carbs so bring me her recommendation with veggies and whatever comes with it that she thinks would be good for me. She came back and said I HAD TO pick soup or salad - something we had discussed that I didn't want. Just the yellow potatoes & veggies if she had any that weren't all carbs. 1/2 way through the meal I asked her if there was a reason I didn't get my Greek Yellow Potatoes: this is where things went wrong. She said she was sorry that that was "her bad." As I was about to leave she said she was going to have to Add Another charge for my potatoes. 5.27 - I gave her my reasonable objection and she still said she was sorry that she forgot them but was still going to have to Charge ME. NEEDLESS to say I will not be back nor will I recommend. It was just me. $24 for the lunch special and I believe I was clear with "what does that include" and "can I forego soup and salad and substitute something else." I reiterated my objections to staff as I was leaving and retracted tip and did not order my cookies. I was calm and polite. But I felt unwelcome and cheated. Nobody tried to fix this. No bread of any kind was included and she was sure of that tho at the time all I had were a few canned green beans in sauce with nothing to use to push them onto my fork. Okay - but I could use my Potatoes for that but they were not here.

5 Enthusiastic stars for Greek food that truly lives up the it's reputation!…read more I was in the area and Yelp led me to Zorba's. It's in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is teeny, but has a really cute atmosphere with Santorini images and Greek scenes throughout. Looks like it's a super popular takeout spot too. We went full vegetarian and got an assortment of platters and dishes including dolmades, falafel, Greek salad, and various dips. Every single bite was exceptional. Fresh, bright, and well seasoned. I ate a ton but didn't feel too full for baklava! Truly so impressed by the meal. We'll definitely be returning!

There was…read moreonly 1 table of 2 sitting inside when we got here and it seemed like the staff was a bit flustered. We had to wait a few minutes to order while someone at the register was rummaging through receipts. I ordered a gyro with fries. I only waited about 10 minutes and they brought the food to the table. Everything tasted great. I was really impressed with the meat in the gyro. The toppings were fresh. The fries had the best seasoning. I would definitely come back but maybe for to-go food. While the food was delicious, I deducted 1 star for cleanliness of the establishment. The soda machine area was very messy with soda dripped everywhere, not stocked items, and things were sticky. Also there were tables in the dining room that needed a thorough wipe down.

Seems to have a lot of regulars dropping by for carry-out orders. Service was excellent - very nice people. Reasonable prices, but portions are fairly small. Ordered the "best chicken in town", - the chickens are very small, and the 1/4 chicken breast I had was noticeably dry. The seasonings and flavor are very good though. But I have much better from any Peruvian chicken place. Had the zucchini in tomato sauce as one side an it was outstanding. Pasta salad was average. Pita bread seemed dry. Hummus was very good. Potatoes had great flavor but also a little dry. Rice pudding dessert was very tasty. Overall I was disappointed because I had hoped this might become a go-to spot for me to hit regularly but unfortunately I cannot imagine a scenario where I'd make the effort to go back.

We received the warmest welcome from each individual worker and the owner, and I could tell they were genuine. I got the #5, a simple gyro. But my goodness was it overflowing with flavorful shaved meat! I came no where near finishing it and ended up sharing the rest for dinner. My partner got the #10 which was chicken kabobs, peta, a salad, and a soda. I was also shocked by the amount of food for the price. The helping of chicken was huge! They definitely are not skimping out on the portion size, flavors, or quality of their food. Plus, they make sure you're in good spirits when you enter, and if not, you certainly will be by the time you leave. If you're in the area, try them out! You won't be disappointed.

I was really looking forward to trying The Great Greek based on the reviews, but unfortunately this…read morewas a disappointing experience. I ordered via DoorDash and For nearly $69 before tip, I expected fresh, flavorful Greek food. Instead, much of the meal tasted like it came straight from a grocery store container rather than being made in-house. The hummus was bland and unusually runny, lacking the rich garlic, lemon, and olive oil flavors I typically expect. The salads arrived without dressing, which left them dry and difficult to enjoy. Overall, the food felt very under-seasoned and lacked the bright, fresh flavors that make Greek cuisine so good. The biggest disappointment was the baklava. The phyllo dough appeared underbaked, remaining pale and almost translucent rather than the golden, flaky texture you'd normally expect. It was soft and gummy instead of crisp and layered. I had to pop it in my oven for a couple minutes to make it edible. Maybe this was an off night, but for the price point, the quality simply didn't match expectations. Sadly, this is not a meal I'd order again.

Unfortunately, the quality has changed dramatically. I ordered the saganaki, and honestly, I don't think it was the right kind of cheese. It melted more like mozzarella or a mild melting cheese, and it was incredibly salty. On top of that, instead of tasting like cheese, all I could taste was oil. The salmon was dry and completely flavorless. The orzo had nothing but a strong tomato paste flavor and was overly acidic. As for the portokalopita, it was dry, the syrup hadn't properly soaked into the cake, and it was nothing like the one I had enjoyed here before. Honestly, I had praised this place so much to my friend and brought them here specifically so they could try it, but it ended up being a complete disappointment. It's really sad to see places like this change so much for the worse.
