ZorbasTucked away in the corner off of NW Military in the Castle Hills area is an incredible Greek Mediterranean Grill serving up shawarma, kebabs, gyros and pitas alike. Zorbas is a must visit mom and pop joint for legitimate Greek cuisine and one of the best gyros San Antonio has to offer.

ZorbasMy friends and I frequently stop at Zorbas whenever we are craving some original Greek food. Two of my friends, having being born in Greece and hailing from a Greek family, give Zorbas their official seal of approval. We first started out with some savory Hummus and Spanikopita – a flakey Greek pastry filled with a blend of spinach and topped with crumbling feta cheese. Some other appetizers they offer: baba ganouj, falafel, grape leaves, and fried kibbeh. All sides that we can’t wait to try on our next visit. 

ZorbasTheir Beef and Lamb Gyro includes: lettuce, onions, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, all wrapped in fluffy warm gyro bread served with a side of crisp and fluffy seasoned fries. This is enough to make the Gods on Mount Olympus jealous. Pro-tip: add some fries to the party inside the gyro wrap for a bona fide Greek experience. Zorbas also offers a variety of different pitas and kebabs, tilapia, along with vegetarian plates. 

In addition to the mouthwatering food Zorbas creates, the waiting staff are incredibly humble and friendly. Altogether this creates a truly comforting and authentic environment, which is why Zorbas is one of the top mom and pop restaurants in San Antonio.
