Zorba's Tavern

Saganaki with fire! Yes, please. After going to the museum for pay what you wish Fridays, we stopped in to Korbas for a late week birthday dinner and really enjoyed our Greek feast. BYOB, great service, intimate ambiance, and food that will make your belly smile. We ordered the Saganaki and dip sampler and since we had 4 of us, we opted to order more dolmas. The pita was outstanding and all the dips fed us four with some to take home the next day. Desserts were baklava and kataifi were very large portions and a little too sweet for me, but enjoyed it. The star was definitely the dips and the pita. The dips were spicy feta, eggplant, caviar, hummus, tzatziki, and potato lemon. My least favorite was my dish, the octopus. It was drenched in oil and a bit over cooked for my liking but that’s just a matter of preference. We didn’t take wine with us so we ordered a glass of their Greek wine which my advice would be to pass. Overall, the service was great start to finish and we were able to find parking pretty quickly on a Friday night at 8.

The food is absolutely fantastic at Zorba's. You will not be disappointed with your choice to dine in this fine establishment. The salmon was very flavorful and the fries were tastily different. The baklava is divine! The staff was very friendly and it's a nice intimate space. I will surely return!

Excellent experience all around. Talented chefs, hospitable and experienced wait staff, speedy service, fair prices. Literally zero complaints! I went with a large party for a birthday and didn't have an opportunity to snap photos, but I'll definitely be returning to add a follow-up. Dishes: cold appetizer sampler, kalamari, octopus, pita, lamb. Take: Everything was amazing, but the cold appetizer sampler was the star of the show in my book. Every dish on the sampler was uniquely delicious and the pita that was served with it was hot and tasted fresh out of the oven. I can't wait to go back! Follow up: 2/2 great experience. Love the consistency.

Visited this charming Greek tavern and was truly impressed! The food was exceptional, with the giro being noteworthy. What stood out even more were the cold appetizers - they were simply amazing and tasty. To top it off, the authentic music played in the background added a delightful touch, elevating the entire dining experience. Highly recommend for a genuine taste of Greece!

Zorba's menu is like a hug from the inside out. Many of the entrees are rich and hearty. Portions are quite large, too! It's very much a neighborhood-family-restaurant that fits the vibes/demographic of Fairmount. There's one particular staff member that typically works the window that makes me laugh every night we pickup dinner. I really like their mixture of outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoor tables are small, but good for intimate or familial meals.

Probably my new go to “fancy” spot. A cute, classic style restaurant with rich family history. Came here with my dad after exploring the nearby art museum. He got the shrimp dinner and I the calamari! It was the perfect amount of food for both of us and we left feeling satisfied and not weighed down. I can’t wait to go back and try more! We slipped in right before it got too busy but I would recommend making a reservation since they’re busy!
