Where to Eat Greek Food in Philadelphia - Eater Philly

"The Kravvaritis family has been in the restaurant business for decades, starting with a tavern in Thessaloniki, Greece. Part of the family moved to Philadelphia in 1997 and opened Zorba’s, which became a Fairmount mainstay for its authentic Greek food. The small BYOB sits in the shadow of the Art Museum and directly across the street from Eastern State Penitentiary. The menu is full of all the classics, including lots of lamb, charcoal-grilled souvlaki, and dips with fresh pita. Vegetarians especially enjoy Zorba’s meatless dishes, including imam bayildi (stuffed eggplant) and anginares à la polita (artichoke hearts and potatoes in dill sauce)." - Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
