Best WLM Reviews

Neat little place in a great area. Food was okay not great but the price is fair as well. I asked about the fresh brewed tea and was given the option of sweet and unsweetened. The sweet tea is just unsweetened tea with fountain drink lemonade. Not very good at all sadly. The falafel was definitely a miss and the fries were basic.
Wonderful atmosphere and quick service, but I'm sorry I ordered the Moussaka ($19), which I found too dry and bland. Next time I'll try something else. Great location near the Dupont Circle Metro.
The pizza was good, dessert was delicious. Service was welcoming and friendly but the waitress didn’t know English and was difficult to communicate, but he was very kind and polite and he tried to do his best.
The atmosphere was great and there is a place you can enjoy your evening
This Greek restaurant was highly recommended by a colleague. We were at a conference in Washington D.C.
We walked from ???? Hotel. ????️ Street parking maybe scarce.
Food was tasty ???? & very affordable. I ordered Shikabob (over rice ????) and Greek Salad ????.
The service was very impressive. You order your food & the waiters (bring it to your table).
????Seating is available upstairs & downstairs.
The decor is spectacular & very welcoming (relaxing ambiance).
Zorba's Café in Dupont Circle offers great service with a convenient counter-ordering system. The service is quick, and the menu features a wide variety of flavorful dishes. Portions are generous, and if you order too much, they readily provide a box for leftovers. The café also has good outdoor seating, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy your meal.
Came here on a recommendation and what a wonderful surprise! The food was fresh, delicious, and very affordable by DC standards. The falafel was insanely good and the chicken was perfectly prepared and oh so delicious. Greek yogurt was homemade. This was hands down the healthiest meal we had in our one week stay. Vegetables were fresh and lettuce was crispy. The establishment was impeccably clean and the staff very friendly. In the entrance hang many awards from years of service and even a letter from a government official who thanked the owner for their quality of work and community support. Highly recommend. We will definitely return.
The food is a bit small with portion sizes, but tastes great. The pork souvlaki was super juicy, tender, and flavorful. Even the pita had flavor of its own and was soft/fresh. The beef kabob also had great flavor, even though it was a tad chewy compared to the pork. The grilled veggies on that deserve mention as well. Gotta give a shoutout to the tzatziki sauce too and I have no complaints about the salad, fries or rice. The dinner roll was meh, however. The baklava wasn't bad and I liked the bite I took of my dining partner's dessert as well.
Service was fast and friendly. One of the ladies at the order counter complimented my tattoo. Oh, and they refuse to accept tips which is cool. Overall a great spot.
Tasty pita Gyro and yummy baklava! Thought It was fairly priced & surrpsingly there’s no feature to tip! But the service was great. There isn’t AC but it wasn’t unbearable to sit through!
