Lab Rats Chow Down: Zorba's (12/114)

Today we decided to go to one of the more popular restaurants on campus: Zorba's! The restaurant burned down last year and was recently rebuilt so we decided to go check out the remodeling with Jun!

Yanfen is the only person who has been here before the fire and she doesn't remember what it looked like. So we are going to cop out and say that the newly remodeled restaurant still have the same aura before!It definitely have the "new" feeling with new furniture and new decorations!

The Zorba's menu is very small and they basically only sell one item. Let's see if it's worth all the hype!

All three of us decided to try their gyros. Yanfen ordered the Medium Classic Combo, Tiffany got the Medium Chicken Combo, and Jun ordered the Large Chicken Combo.

Final Review

Environment : 8/10

Zorba's have a nice cheery fell with the bright red walls. They try their best to have plenty of seating spots but we know from experience that it can get crowded during the school year!

This place is most recommended for hanging out with friends. It is not quite secluded enough for a date or for a meeting.

The gyro was pretty tasty though a bit messy to eat. I took the gyro out of its wrapper which was probably the cause of this. Mine had the class gyro meat (lamb and beef?) along with tomatoes, onions, and cucumber sauce. The cucumber sauce was very good! Cucumbers tend to add a cool (as in not warm) feel to a dish. They even had cucumber sauce next to the ketchup in case you wanted more. I got some to go with my fries which tasted a bit weird. I wish that mine had lettuce like the chicken one though!

Next time, I think I will go for the bigger combo since I felt like I could still eat more after!

I got the chicken gyro which had chicken lettuce onions and some sauce (not the traditional cucumber sauce) It was pretty good, the meat was seasoned pretty well, but I think the lettuce could have been fresher. The gyro breading was very nice, and probably the combination of the breading and the meat was the highlight of the meal. The sauce wasn't bad, but nothing very memorable and I felt like the fries were something I could have bought at the supermarket or another fast food joint. The combo is pretty small so I could probably eat more; next time maybe a large
