    Falafel

    Holy cow!!! These are the best falafels I've ever tasted! Super fresh and amazing flavor! Well done!! Will Definitely be back!!

    Gyro & Greek salad $14
    Philip V.

    As we were leaving Annamarie Island out of Bradenton, we looked for some delicious food and found Zeko's. They are an amazing Mediterranean restaurant that features a Gyro and Greek salad platter that is out of this world! The salad came with fresh Romain, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, Greek, olives, feta cheese, potato salad, dolma, and amazing homemade dressing. This place is so special, the owner makes and presses his own olive oil and ships from Greece personally. Everything is homemade everything is incredibly fresh. The service is also friendly and fast, and the restaurant itself is spotless clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area who loves delicious Greek food, and if you're leaving the beach, this is something of a treat to have after a hot sunny beach day .

    Greek salad + grilled shrimp
    Gretel Y.

    Wanted a fast, casual but healthy meal and Zeko's fit the bill! The restaurant was clean and had tons of indoor seating. Plenty of parking, too. I ordered a Greek salad with grilled shrimp and a baklava. The salad portion was generous for a small. It came with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, olives, pickled peppers, feta cheese and a creamy potato salad. I added grilled shrimp for protein. It was fresh, delicious and filling! The baklava was fantastic. One order came with two pieces. My group also enjoyed their entrees. Service was excellent! The staff was friendly, patient and helpful from start to finish. My group of seven all ordered something different and the staff brought our items to our table. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend!

    Hummus with warm pita
    Lisa C.

    Great, fresh food, friendly and knowledgeable staff and good value make this one of our weekly favorites! We love the chicken Shawarma, the chop chop salad, and the hummus with pita, so good!!

    Gyro Sandwich
    JT F.

    Zekos was overall a good experience-- everything was reasonably priced and the portions were great. There was a ton of meat on my gyro which was great too but I wish there was more lettuce/tomato/onion. The baklava was also tasty. I would come here again just to mix it up. Very clean inside as well.

A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.

And my wife had the meat trio, chicken skewers. Shrimp, and lamb gryo meat. Also came with green beans, fresh Taziki sauce, potatoes, and zucchini. Definitely will be back.

The food was solid, your typical Mediterranean cuisine but I will say it's a bit on the pricey side if you're just trying to grab a quick lunch. The tabbouleh parsley was chopped a bit larger than I personally prefer. I usually like it more finely chopped, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. Service was quick and the food came out fast, which I appreciated. There's limited seating inside, so it seems like it's set up more for takeout than dining in. Overall, a good spot. Just keep the pricing and seating in mind depending on what you're looking for.

The storefront is nothing special at all, you order from a big tablet screen and then they have standard fast-casual seating. It doesn't look fancy at all and the restroom situation is weird (you have to go outside through a back alley for the men's restroom?). The workers were nice but I was only hoping for "solid" food. Then I took my first bite of the mixed-shwarma sandwich, and it was sublime. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned tender meat, they press the pita with just the right amount of salad/pickles, so the pita is crunchy and the meat isn't overwhelmed with too much salad like so often happens. Their house fries were spiced deliciously and fried fresh (which makes us want to try the Falafel, which we also saw them frying fresh). The food was *fantastic*, making it one of those diamond-in-the-rough places that you'd never guess had such good food. We're looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu, highly recommend if you're near UTC mall.

It wasn't chewy nor was it fried to hard and it came out piping hot. We also received bread to our table and it was warm, soft and delicious. For beverages they have alcohol but it wasn't our desire tonight, so I had a coke and my wife had a Greek beverage called "Epsa".

The chops come as an order of four and they again had to be the best lamb chops I've ever had. They were even better than mine and I'm famous for my chops. Let me share with you that the temperature was just right, they were thick, juicy and very tender. I also got desert but I was to full to eat it, it was the orange sponge cake and I'm sure it's as delicious as it looks.
