If you have been a frequent visitor to this site you may have noticed that we don’t often do upscale preferring instead to seek out the best of OKC’s culinary underbelly and ethnic wonders. Traditionally, OKC has had a limited selection of restaurants that offered more elegance and higher service standards, but in the last few years this has began to change. So, when the wife I found ourselves in the unusual position of being able to enjoy dinner alone, we thought perhaps we should seek out something a bit nicer. Of all of OKC’s more upscale restaurants, Nonna’s is the one we have heard mentioned the most often that we had never been to, so off we went. Read more

Zorba’s Mediterranean Cuisine

 4621 North May Avenue
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73112
ph: 405.947.7788

Having been formerly introduced to the Falafel a few months back by Dustin, of Okcbites fame, I must admit they have quickly become one of my go to foods. By this I mean if my wife and I can’t decide on a place to eat we usually choose a place that serves Falafels. About half the time that place is Zorbas. Falafels are a perfect food for those who choose a meatless lifestyle. I am sure that many of you have had them before but I will go into a bit of detail about them just in case you haven’t. A Falafel is essentially an appetizer or snack consisting of a small croquette made with fava-bean flour or ground chick peas, seasoned with toasted sesame seeds and salt, often served in pita bread. At Zorbas they come in more of a Wrap or flat bread and they are tightly rolled up into a big delicious burrito type thing. They come out super warm and have a very delicious sauce (maybe yogurt sauce) on them. The good thing about getting your falafels at Zorbas is beer. I may be in the minority, but I don’t think I could eat a falafel without following each delicious bite with a nice drink of cold refreshing beer. The two complement each other better than peanut butter and jelly as far as I’m concerned. The last time I was there we ordered the humus and it was pretty good. I have also tried the rice at Zorbas and Meh. It was okay but it’s not the food that’s bringing me back.
