Little Zeus — Restaurant in Carlsbad

I first started coming here in 2012 when I worked in Carlsbad. As of April I started working in this area again and I come over here once every week or two. I remembered the tasty chicken and gyro plates but I have only had the gyros plate since April. I can only get there after 2pm but the gyros have been great with a nice amount of gyro meat in the plate. When you do the math, it makes more sense to buy the plates. It's a lot of food for one sitting but the gyros and rice heats up well later. You get a nice salad too. For just over $9 with tax, splitting this into 2 meals once a week makes it a bargain. The salad has a good amount of feta cheese on it and the rice has a lot of flavor. The woman that dishes up the food after 2pm is really nice and the place is not crowded at that time. Parking is easy too as is getting seats inside...

We have been going to Little Zeus for 10 or more years. We love Katarina, the owner! She is kind, hard working and does her best to give her customers the best Greek food and service she can. This is authentic Greek food and I know. I am Greek and eating there is like eating in my Yiayia’s (grandmother’s) kitchen. We come all the time and the servings are always enough for 2 meals. The gyros, chicken, rice, salads and spanakopita are always delicious. The chicken orzo soup is perfect for a cold day or when you just want some comfort soup. Which is often foe me. I like to add another slice of lemon juice to my soup but that is just my preference.The baklava is perfect with a cup of tea at home. Go in with a smile and a compliment and you will not be...

I really love this restaurant. Although it's out of the way and kinda hidden, it's really a Carlsbad gem. The food is great, and the service is fast. I do wish they were open a little later. So many times I've wanted to stop by after work but cant because they close so early. It would be a good business decision to stay open for dinner. I also wish a lot of their dishes came WITH fries and a drink. It's a bit offputting that you have to add them in for a separate charge. They should include the price and just make combo options. Anyway, this place is good if you're in Carlsbad...
