Zorbas Restaurant | Kefalonia — Restaurant in Argostoli Municipality

Very bad experience . When we walked by the restaurant, a man standing at the entrance tried to convince us to come in. I stopped to look at the menu and saw that the gyros was priced at €12.50. I asked how much a pita gyros to go (something you eat in your hand) would cost, and he told me €5. Then he added, “But if you sit inside, I’ll make it a full portion for €6 — I’ll let the waiters know.” He also emphasized that everything was homemade, mentioning he had his own garden with tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. That made it sound authentic and worth trying. We agreed to go in. But once the waiter came to take our order, he said it would be €6 per person for half a gyros on a plate. That was not what we had been told outside, and since we were hungry, we said we would rather just take two pita gyros to go instead. Right away, we noticed the restaurant was completely empty — not a single guest inside, just the owner’s children sitting around. That should have been a red flag. While we waited, the waiter came by twice trying to offer us drinks, despite us clearly saying we didn’t want any. It felt a bit pushy and made things uncomfortable. When the food was finally ready, it came packed in basic aluminum takeaway containers. We expected them to be sealed better, but we didn’t complain. We had the money in hand, and the same man who greeted us outside quickly grabbed the €10 from us, handed us the food, and sent us on our way. However, when we opened the containers later at the beach, we were shocked. It was clearly one gyros split in two — not two full portions. There was no salad included, even tzatziki, even though it had been promised, and they hadn’t given us any utensils either. We ended up sitting on the beach eating with our hands like stray dogs, which was honestly embarrassing. Overall, the experience felt misleading and unprofessional. The empty restaurant now makes perfect sense. We won’t...

We ate here on a Sunday evening i ordered the special pizza and my lady ordered the Margereta but only wanted a small so we asked for the pizza from the children's menu, some places wont let you but here they had no problem which is good as we don't like wasting food. We also had a plate of chips. The special pizza was amazing and the best I've had in years, I usually opt for deep pan but didn't mind as it tasted so fresh and the balance of tastes from the toppings was just right and at a very reasonable price. I'm already planning having another one but this time I'll try the takeaway option so I can enjoy it back at our room on the balcony 👌. My lady really enjoyed her margereta pizza and the chips were perfect, clean plates all round,, although I had a sweat on trying to finish it all but I was determined as it was sooo nice. It wasn't really busy but it was a Sunday and it was around 22:00 so if you don't like crowds go a bit later like we did. The staff were very friendly and diligent and we didn't have to wait long for anything, nor did we feel pressured.... they even gave us 2 free shots as we were leaving 😁 If staying at the white rocks hotel Zorbas is very close and should definitely be on you're list of places to eat. I went back the next morning and had a Greek coffee and a strawberry iced cream before heading back to the hotel,, I needed the coffee and the iced cream was just an impulse indulgence but I'm glad I had it as it was very nice and just what I needed before the hot walk back. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves great, fresh tasting pizza,, and chips. I'm sure the other options on the menu would be nice but we haven't tried them so we couldn't honestly say but the options that we had were perfecto 👌 ...

Family restaurant with tradition. The food is good and the service quite quick and responsive. White wine (local) is absolute winner. There were 6 of us for a dinner (4 adults and 2 kids) and the price was around 100 euros. The prices are in the range of other restaurants (maybe 1 or 2 euros more expensive) but the owner granted 10% discount. It was a happy time 😁

Update (2024): I guess mistakes can be made and I can tolerate food mistakes, but for money mistakes I have 0 tolerance. They pumped the bill like for an additional meal (15 euros) and all of the things written on the check were food, food, food, food. I guess many people don't check or don't care but this is really low blow. I should take down a star or two but will leave it with this...
