Chicken Souvlaki

Chicken Souvlaki

Chicken SouvlakiThe Chicken Souvlaki from Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar was exactly what I expected from a restaurant specializing in Greek cuisine – delicious!  There was a generous amount of tzatziki sauce, which made the sandwich messy but wonderful.  I didn’t taste the Greek dressing, but its flavor may have blended with the tzatziki.  It would have been nice if there were a few more pieces of chicken in the wrap to make it feel more substantial and to keep me from picking at the side of generic fries.  I did discover, however, that the fries were improved upon dipping into the extra tzatziki sauce.  This sandwich does come with one warning – don’t make this a date night choice unless your partner is indulging in something with tzatziki as well as the garlic flavor is quite strong!

Vegetable Primavera

When heading to Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar, I was not quite sure how I felt about Greek food, but I decided to keep an open mind. I knew when I was perusing the menu that I wasn’t in the mood for protein, and that a nice healthy vegetable dish would probably hit the spot. When I saw the vegetable primavera on the menu, I knew what I was going to get. This dish had plum tomatoes, roasted portabello mushrooms, fire grilled red peppers, baby spinach, and caramelized onions. All of this was sauteed with garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, white wine and fresh herbs, laid on top of cheese raviolis. The portabellos with the cheese raviolis were a perfect combination of flavors. There was a hint of wine wine in the sauce, and combined with the fire grilled red peppers, made for a tasty sauce. My dish was originally $14.99 but had a $2 up charge for the ravioli. I do not believe that there were any other up charges for the other types of pasta. My meal was delicious and satisfying, just proving the fact that you do not need for beef, chicken or seafood to complete a meal.  -HW
