This was hubby and I's first experience with a Zeus restaurant. How best to describe it...? Well, I'd say that Zeus equates to a traditional Mediterranean restaurant like Taco Bell equates to a traditional Mexican restaurant. I don't mean that in a bad way. Zeus doesn't seem to aspire to being a fancy Mediterranean restaurant, but as another fast food choice. The food at Zeus imitates traditional Mediterranean dishes and quickly puts your order together from pre-prepared ingredients. You can get a pretty quick, acceptable meal here that fills your stomach, but don't expect to be "wow'd." Zeus definitely isn't serving up impressive, homemade, chef-quality fare, but, if you keep your expectations at the level of fast food restaurant, then you can definitely get a decent alternative to burgers & fries.
As a fast food restaurant, I'd say that Zeus would rate about average. The stuffed grape leaves with dipping sauce were pretty good and were nicely seasoned. The Baba ganoush didn't quite meet our taste or texture expectations (compared to our experiences at authentic Mediterranean restaurants), but it was decent and the pitas were soft and warm. Our salads were just a tad bit wilted and we would have preferred a few feta pieces instead of kind of a snowy layer of feta crumbs over the salad. The dressing was pretty assertive in flavor, which bordered on overpowering. The meat on our salads was flavorful and nicely spiced, but was kind of dry, especially on one side of each of the slices. Maybe waiting too long on the rotisserie between customers?
Our service was very good. The restaurant owner?/manager took our orders and delivered our food to the table. He was pleasant and seemed eager to please us. We were the only customers in the restaurant when we arrived. We had trouble finding a clean table without crumbs. We also noticed that the floor needed to be swept. We ordered 2 gyro salads, an order of 4 stuffed grape leaves, and an order of baba ganouch. No beverages. We drank tap water. Total bill was $33.79, which is a bit expensive, we feel, for a fast food-type meal. read more
