S in Bonita Springs. a Greek Culinary Stalwart in SW Florida Zorba’s in Bonita Springs. A Greek Culinary Stalwart in SW Florida Zorba’s Mediterranean Grille & Bar is a restaurant in Bonita Springs that serves Greek Cuisine. The restaurant has been open since March 1988. I will venture a guess and say that under one-half of one percent of our local, independently owned restaurants have been open for over 30 years. More on this later. At its most deconstructed, Greek, and associated Mediterranean Cuisines, revolve around wheat, olives and grapes. These yield bread/pasta, olive oil, and wine, respectively. I had not dined at Zorba’s for quite some time and decided to take a second (or third, fourth or fifth) look. It has been a while. One of the things I have always liked about Zorba’s is the ample availability of outdoor dining. This is always a plus for me no matter what season it is in Florida. The restaurant’s menu has lots of Greek favorites in addition to Mediterranean-inspired takes on others. My dining companion and I went here for lunch and tried a couple of items. Pita and seasoned olive oil Before our lunch selections were served, a generous portion of pita triangles with seasoned olive oil was brought to the table. The pita was unusual. It was fully baked but had a strong residual flavor of uncooked flour. This was something I was unaccustomed to and became important later during lunch. My dining companion ordered the Greek salad. It was wonderful and a bargain at the same time; the portion here served on a Greek salad dinner-sized plate. The Greek salad had the usual suspects on it. Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, pepperoncini, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, dolmathakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves ) and feta cheese. There are optional protein additions available for this salad but with this portion size, they seem superfluous. The dressing is a Greek Vinaigrette, with olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. In my mind, with this portion size and price point, this is one of the better lunch salads in Southwest Florida. Lamb and beef gyro I ordered the gyro sandwich. Gyro meat can be made from many types of meat and is cooked rotisserie style like al pastor or Doner Kebab. At the restaurant, I picked the gyro made from a combination of lamb and beef. The sandwich is topped with onions, tomatoes, and Tzatziki Sauce, that wonderful Greek condiment make from yogurt, garlic, cucumbers and olive oil. The sandwich is served with either fries or a Greek salad. This was a good lunch dish, but unfortunately, the flouriness of the pita bread really put a damper on the flavor profile of the sandwich. I resolved this by just eating the contents of the sandwich, using my pita bread as a second serving plate. Problem solved. My dining companion and I went back for happy hour to try more menu items. Happy hour is from 3-6 PM Monday – Saturday and is served at the bar indoors and at the outside dining area. It features special pricing on select appetizers and specials on alcoholic beverages. Saganaki The first thing ordered from the appetizer menu was saganaki, a must-order at Zorba’s. Saganaki is made from Kefalograviera cheese. This is a mixture of two Greek kinds of cheese, one salty and highly flavored, the other somewhat neutral. Unknown to us, this is really a production at Zorba’s. It is brought to your table, doused with Ouzo, a high alcohol anise-flavored Greek liquor, and flambed, or set on fire. Unfortunately, I was not quick enough with my camera to capture this, but it will definitely “light up” your meal. The finished product was excellent and highly recommended. Bifteki We also ordered Bifteki, sort of a Greek hamburger without the bun. Bifteki can be prepared in a number of different ways. The common thread is ground beef seasoned with herbs, one of which is oregano, the sine qua non of Greek seasoning, and cheese. At Zorba’s, the burger is stuffed with cheese (smoked gouda) instead of being placed on top. The bifteki is served over shoestring fries and comes with red onion and tomato marinated in olive oil. This menu offering was excellent. As you cut into the burger, the cheese runs onto the fries, giving you an almost Poutine-esq dish. Again, highly recommended. Tomato and basil bisque We also sampled the feta and olive dish. It was ok, though far from the highlight of the meal. The tomato and basil bisque was also ordered. It is not a traditional bisque made from the broth of strained seafood shells. It is made from roasted tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan cheese cream. It was delicious and a nice menu item to share. The real star of this meal was the souvlaki. Souvlaki literally means skewered meat and is traditionally meant to be eaten with pita bread in Greece. It comes at the restaurant Souvlaki with either chicken or pork kebabs, or you can mix and match as we did. The skewered meats are interspersed with onion, green pepper, and tomatoes, and are out of this world delicious. The kebabs are served with tzatziki sauce and rather tasty rice pilaf. I thought the pita may be better doused with the meat juice and seasonings of the kebabs, though they were not. That uncooked flour taste from the pita bread again put a damper on the pita’s contents. These skewers were so good though it didn’t matter. The food at Zorba’s was good to excellent. From the items sampled, you will not have a bad meal here. There are only less than a handful of independently-owned restaurants in the area that have been around for two or three decades that I can think of. At all of these, there is a reason for their longevity. They all prepare an excellent product that has stood the test of time. In Zorba’s case, not only is the food really good but so are the prices, which fall into the lower mid-range of local restaurants. Old friends are always fun to get together with, and Zorba’s is no exception. It was as good as I remembered and is highly recommended. It’s a wrap for another post on Forks.

  • Questions That Customers May Have: 1
    Questions that customers may have: 1. Do you put fried potatoes in your gyros? The simple answer is YES, because that is the tradi onal GREEK way to make a gyro wrap. None the less, I have seen a VERY limited number of nega ve comments (compared to the hundreds of posi ve ones) in regard to this issue. Here are a few: “ They put French fries in their Gyros and Suvalki - not Greek but good for pro t” “I am not a fan of having french fries in my gyro ” “Fries in the Gyros? Seriously?” Some have even gone as so far as to accuse me of using fried potatoes a “filler” thus adding less meat to the wrap. Please allow me to put this question to rest. We use 8 ounces* of gyro meat in EVERY gyro, regardless if the customer wants the freshly cut fried potato in it or not. That’s a half a pound* of Gyro meat in every wrap! That’s 2-quarter pounder hamburgers worth of meat in every wrap. The freshly made hand cut potato used both inside the gyro wraps and in our Fry Bar are all locally grown Grade A “Round White” from the Szawlowski Potato Farms- a primus GFS Certified, Massachusetts Grown...and Fresher –Member, Blue Book – Member, New England Produce Council – Member, Idaho Potato Commission –Member. This exceptional potato is hand washed, hand cut, blanched at a low heat then hand dried to remove the additional starch prior to being fried in 100% vegetable free oil that is designated to be used for only gluten free items.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • Tacos Al Pastor, Is a Dish Developed in Central Mexico That Is Based on Shawarma Spit-Grilled Meat Brought by Lebanese Immigrants to Mexico
    Al pastor (from Spanish, "shepherd style"), also known as tacos al pastor, is a dish developed in central Mexico that is based on shawarma spit-grilled meat brought by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. Being derived from shawarma, it is also similar to the Turkish döner kebab and the Greek gyros. In contrast to döner kebab and shawarma, however, tacos al pastor are pork-based. Ingredients • 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for brushing • 3 garlic cloves • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin • 1/2 teaspoon pepper • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves • 4 guajillo chiles—stemmed, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces • 1/3 cup pineapple juice • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar • 2 tablespoons achiote paste • Sea salt • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, sliced 1/4 inch thick • 1/2 medium pineapple, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick • 1 medium red onion, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick • Casa Bonita corn tortillas, chopped cilantro and lime wedges, for serving Directions 1. In a medium saucepan, heat the 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned about 1 minute. Stir in the oregano, cumin, pepper and cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chiles and cook, stirring, until blistered in spots, about 30 seconds. Add the pineapple juice, vinegar and achiote paste and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. 2. Transfer the chile mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt. Scrape the marinade into a large, sturdy plastic bag.
