Zorba's a Fun Place in Baltimore's Greek Town!

 

  The full name of this Greek town favorite is Zorba's Bar & Grill, and like many neighborhood restaurants...the bar is up front and tables grouped in the back. But with one outstanding feature — the clear glass at the back with a view into the kitchen, where Zorba's signature rotisseries are spinning over charcoal flames.

 Spanakopita was the best... spinach, onion, dill and feta baked in layers  and topped with a crispy phyllo dough. We ordered this for an appetizer and it easily fed all four of us!

Moussaka was just wonderful... layers of beef, potatoes and eggplant, topped with béchamel sauce and baked. Notice in the background the side dish of roasted potatoes and green beans.

                                   

  #########

The kontosouvli... giant hunks of meat, seasoned and spit-roasted to  perfection. Then  hacked up and dropped into a shallow bowl -- and the presentation couldn't be more appropriate. It hits the table as a big old pile served simply with a lemon wedge.

             The grill is the thing to see here, and it gets its own picture window. I was the lucky one sitting and watching the constant motion of the efficient cooks. They never stopped preparing plate after delicious plate the entire time we were there. The service was outstanding.

   Good food, laughter, and sharing the bounty with wonderful friends made for a very delightful evening!
