Why cant you give a zero star rating on Unilocal? Would apply for zorbas. To be fair, my companion thought his platter was ok . Me: I was totally grossed out. I ordered the broasted chicken with cole slaw and fries. I should have walked when i asked where my coleslaw was and he said«no coleslaw thats why i’m giving you more fries». Who does that without substituting an adequate replacement? I don’t really like fries so i didn’t want more. Especially those gross, limped under cooked fries he made. But i was hungry so i figured the chicken would suffice. CHICKEN: never tasted anything as bad in my life. Over fried and totally devoid of meat. Was like 2 pieces of fried bones !!! ZEROSTARS.

*3 ½ Stars* The first time I went to the Reading Outlet, I was looking through the directory and two words caught my eye«Broasted Chicken». Broasted chicken? For real? So few places even make that anymore and their numbers are dwindling. Well…we were at the Outlet with our daughter and her family. She said she was hungry and the coupon booklet had a coupon for Auntie Anne’s. So, for the first time in all the times we’ve visited, we went to the food court. She headed to Auntie Anne’s. At first I resisted the call of the broasted chicken but gave in when I asked everyone«If I got a piece, do you all want to try some?» The answer was«yes». We were there at 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday and the food court was nearly empty. Zorba’s, the stand with the broasted chicken, is a Greek place. They have a sign up that says«broasted chicken only». I asked for a piece of white meat which was then warmed in the microwave. After seeing it get zapped in the microwave, I figured it would be dried out. Much to my surprise, it was hot, moist and flavorful. We all enjoyed it. When our daughter finished her Auntie Anne’s pretzel, I told her that Zorba’s also had baklava. She got wide-eyed when she heard that and had to have a piece. Again, we all shared. The baklava obviously wasn’t fresh. Baklava is at its best fresh from the oven. When it sits too long, the phyllo dough gets tough, as was the case with this piece. That’s too bad because it otherwise would have been excellent. It had just enough honey on it to make it sweet but not sickeningly so. The chicken piece cost $ 2.50 and the baklava cost $ 2.35 — very well priced. Next time I’m there, I’ll be back for some broasted chicken!
