JohnEstheimer "The Delco REALTOR that Loves to Eat!"

The May event for the Greater Philadelphia Ethnic Dining Meetup that my wife and I organize was held at Zorba’s Taverna.

As organizers of the group, we always struggle with finding new places to try for ourselves versus sharing the great places we have been to with the other members. For May we decided to let the group know about this fantastic little Greek place that we had found last October.

Zorba’s is located just down the street from Eastern State Penitentiary, on Fairmount Avenue. We were going to Terror Behind the Walls, and had time to kill before our ticket time, so we decided to grab something to eat. We wondered down the street looking for some place that wasn’t over-crowded and found Zorba’s.

The food at Zorba’s was outstanding. We decided to split the Cold Appetizer Platter, which was a fantastic mix of different finger foods. We also ordered the Mixed Grill platter, which was huge and allowed us to sample many different types of meat. They food is really great.

When we were here for the Meetup event, the seated us in a large room that could be used for much larger groups. The first time we were here we didn’t even know that this place existed. The service was fantastic, and our group actually ended up being at the restaurant past closing time without them saying a word.

I would definitely recommend Zorba’s for anything from a small intimate meal, to a large party.
