"Chef Zorba’s in Congress Park reminds us that, sometimes, avoiding the chaos of Colfax Ave. has a lot of perks. If you worked up an appetite escorting your parents through the Denver Botanic Gardens or just finished running around Cheesman Park, hit up this low-key Greek diner. The small strip-center spot has a laid-back dining room, a small sidewalk patio, and a menu that serves all-day breakfast, an Athenian salad with dolmathes, or a gyro melt with grilled onions. Just make sure to grab a slice of honey-drenched baklava for dessert. " - Chelsea Thomas, Team Infatuation

One of my new favorite places for brunch/lunch. The food is great, the mimosas were flowing and the prices were incredible for the amount of food we got. The little patio was also very cute. We will definitely be back. A bunch!

Chef zorbas is a true neighborhood establishment. They are an excellent member of the community before we even get to the food. The restaurant welcomes all people and even has treats for the neighborhood pups. The staff has very low turnover and become friends after a few meals (shout out to Steve!) I get the two egg breakfast as I do at most diners. The coffee is excellent. The meals is hearty and delicious. For lunch the gyro is delicious. Every member of the family will find something they like.

I feel quite disappointed with this place and their customer service. We ordered takeout and they didn't include utensils, sauces, salt, anything like that. We waited for the order in the front patio (completely empty except for one table) while two girls came out to check very rudely why we were sitting in their patio. When they finally gave us the order, we asked for the missing utensils and the girl with a very bad attitude told us that they were reserved for people dining in and that "people should just grab their food and leave", implying that we should leave the sitting area immediately. Speaking of the food, it really wasn't impressive, in the gyro the "mixed" meat was quite dry, one or two tomatoes and onions. It's not worth the poor customer service, the price is average and the flavor is not amazing.

This place was adorable, and we wanted to love it, but the food was okay. They didn't bring the appetizer we ordered until they brought the rest of the food. And by the point the Saganaki came out, the alcohol had soaked through and wouldn't light on fire so they doused it with more alcohol and made the dish inedible. They kindly took it off the bill which we appreciated. The vegetarian appetizer plate was good but it didn't have enough falafels and spanikopita and was more raw veggies than anything else. And the French toast was okay. Overall, if we're in the neighborhood, we'd go back because of the ambiance. It's seriously cute, but we won't be driving out of our way to eat there again.

Food was pretty good. Lemon chicken soup was amazing. But the service was so very good. So fast and so nice. Zelda was my server and I had to move tables so they could accommodate a bigger group. They offered me a free dessert for the trouble. Recommended :)

Wonderful restaurant in the middle of a 100+ year-old uptown residential neighborhood. Welcoming staff, pleasing aesthetics, warm atmosphere, fair prices, delicious grilled chicken Caesar salad! I lunch there with my sister who has Alzheimer's, and the staff is always incredibly kind and patient. We've been there several times and will continue to return.

Overall our table thought the food was decent. But a couple of us ordered the grilled salmon and it was charged to the point you could barely taste anything else. Service was prompt and attentive. They recommended the fries but those were kind of subpar as well. A great place to sit outside while you dine, but the staff didn't do anything about the woman smoking next to our table while she ordered from their takeout window.

I had lunch at this cute place and ordered the gyro plate. It was good but I wished I had ordered something with more vegetables. The best part was the wedding cookie for dessert. Nice atmosphere and easy street parking within a block.
