Zestia Greek Street Food — Restaurant in Warren

I've been here about 20 times now so I figure it is time for a review.

As quick overview, the main dishes here are gyros, salads, and bowls. They also offer some sides such as chicken lemon rice soup, spinach pie, and baklava.

This is by far the most flavorful and fresh food you'll find for quick bites. I can't think of any other restaurant where I would call out cucumbers or feta cheese specifically, but the truth is that every ingredient here is incredible on its own. When combined together it is an explosion of deliciousness. Whether you go with the bowl, gyro, or salad, it is very unlikely you will leave hungry. The portions are generally very generous.

I personally prefer the bowl with the oregeno broth and chicken. I have not tried all of their spreads but the hummus, ycg(yogurt, cucumber,garlic), and garlic spread are all amazing. Fair warning that the garlic is pretty strong so if that's not how you like it, you may want to try a different spread.

You really can't go wrong here, the spinach pie is great, the Greek fries are great, the list goes on.

As for negatives: the price is generally a bit higher than comparable restaurants, and since there are not measurements done on the food, some meals you'll get more or less than others.

Lastly, I just wanted to mention the customer service here is tremendous. Most employees offer suggestions on what ingredients pair well if you get stuck. Just today I got a piece of the spinach pie that was slightly stuck to the pan, so it got a little beat up on it's way out. A few minutes after I sat down, another piece of spinach pie was brought to me for no reason other than that the first piece was "ugly".

The last few times I have ordered from the Warren location have not been a good experience at all. This is upsetting, because we really used to like Estia. This all started when I ordered a salad and they forgot the Greek dressing (one of the best parts of their Greek salad). Mind you, they are not cheap. There is literally a large message on the receipt for the employee to "not forget to put the dressing in the bag!!". We let this one slide as it happens from time to time, I get it. Last night we decided to order again. I am on a strict low carb diet, so i decided to get extra meat for my Greek salad (chicken and lamb meat). This was almost 5 dollars extra!! Finally sat down to eat after a long shift at work and had to basically throw the salad in the garbage. No lamb meat, skimpy amount of chicken, and the salad was super gritty (not properly washed lettuce). I tried to call up there at about 5 minutes to close and was hung up on. Called back again and no answer. Also, when I walked in to pick up my online order( they put online orders on a shelf to be picked up) I was given a dirty look by an employee. No hello, smile, or thanks for your order, etc. We will not...

This place rocks.

The time from order to receiving your food is on par with a quick serve place like taco bell or mcdonald's, but it's all fresh, high-quality ingredients.

I've been watching carbs and eating healthy for the last couple months and Estia has been a godsend. I'm down 8 lbs in two months and the greek salad from here as my main meal 4-5 times a week in that period and I'm not even close to being sick of it. I order the salad with chicken or gyro meat, give my gf the bread and eat the rest as it comes and it fits my nutrition profile perfectly and it's DELICIOUS.

I love that they use a scale to provide meat portions so you never get skimped like you often see at Chipotle, and even though much of the staff is younger and likely working there after a long school day they are always so NICE and seem happy to be feeding you. This is a rare thing in the post-covid world.

Kudos to the leadership team at Estia - y'all are doing something right and it feels good spending my money with a place that makes my body healthy, my tummy happy, and treats their...
