Zorba's Tavern

"This Greek restaurant in Fairmount is as quintessential to Philly as the Rocky statue. The servers treat everyone like regulars, the cozy space is filled with paintings of the Parthenon, and if the lamb fourno doesn’t wow you, the flaming cheese saganaki definitely will. They also have flavorful dips with warm housemade pita, smoky grilled souvlaki, and mussels in a drinkable red wine and feta sauce. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
