Dinner

Mar 2022 • friends

I went to this restaurant with a friend for dinner. I am Greek and must say that this was the best Greek restaurant that I have been to in years in Toronto. Although the place appears a bit tired on the outside, do not let it fool you. Inside it is quaint and reminds you of the Greek islands. The service is attentive with a friendly greeter and regular check ins for refills of our water. I had the lamb souvlaki and it was cooked medium and was tender and tasty. Perfect. The potatoes were delicious as was the salad. Steamed vegetables were perfectly steamed and were of great quality. I appreciated that the meal was not drenched in oil. It was seasoned well and tender. The entrees were a bit pricey compared to what one may have been used to in past years for Greek food but when you taste the food and compare it to similar meals at other places, it is actually comparable and better food. I would highly recommend this place. Wine selection by the glass was limited for both white and red but they were reasonably good picks.

Homemade Greek Food

Dec 2019 • none

This is my new favourite Greek restaurant. They have pretty much everything on their menu. Souvlaki (chicken, lamb and pork), Gyro, Lamb chops, Roasted Lamb and Rack of Lamb. I had the rack of lamb and it was amazing. Falling off the bone, juicy and full of flavour. It wasn't too strong of a lamb taste, which is a good thing. The meal came with fresh garlic bread for free. Yes for free lol. It wasn't the cheap stuff either. The Greek salad was one of the best I've had. Loaded with tons of veggies, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, and olives. I wasn't a big fan of the sides that the meal came with. Steamed veggies which tasted very plain. Also in the menu it mentioned the meal came with roasted potatoes Greek style, but they tasted more like plain boiled ones. The service is pretty good and prices were reasonable. They also have a delivery service and offer take out. Can't believe this place has been around for 15+ years and I just found out about it now. Much better than most places in Greek town.

Greek restaurant

Jan 2023 • couples

We dropped in here for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn’t that busy. There was only one server. He did everything including bartender and bus boy. He seated us and brought over 2 glasses of water. We ordered 2 chicken souvlaki’s $23.95. And it came with a salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the veggies and potatoes were also perfect. I love the Greek decor and the Greek music playing. Food and service was great.

DELICIOUS Food

Oct 2021 • none

We ordered the chicken only dinner for two. The souvalaki was delicately seasoned and flavoured well, along with the rice and greek potatoes. The salad was also good. Portion sizes are good. After placing my online order, I put a note for pickup time and called as the online site stated that it would be ready in the next hour. Everyone I dealt with was very customer service oriented. Takeout was fast and efficient and was packaged and ready when I came for pickup. Will definitely order again.

Lunch with cousin

Feb 2020 • family

As I am moving out of province I wanted to have lunch with my cousin before I left. Both of us like Greek food. So this is where we went. The server was very friendly and the place was extremely busy for lunch(a great sign)! I have been wanting gyro in pita for ages so I ordered that with Greek salad. So so good. Thanks for the pleasant experience and meal.

Great lunch

Jan 2020 • none

We were group of four and all had different dishes. Each was really tasty and a large portion. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. They have a decent selection of wines. The service was friendly and good. We now want to try it sometime for dinner.

RUDE WAITER , UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Aug 2023 • family

Attended there last Sunday , heres my 2 cents - They should invest some money into a door that you don't have to force open Attended with a large group , the main waiter was ignorant , rude and looked extremely dirty I asked for milk for my 7 year old and his response was NO MILK , asked another waiter ( which was really nice ) and he explained ( instead of walking away ) that they just have the small milk containers for coffee , he brought me several which was nice . Made the mistake of asking the ignorant waiter for some olives again for my 7 year old , he rolled his eyes and brought 3 of them , she asked for more as she was not eating her pasta so I asked the other nice waiter and he said no problem , I could see the rude waiter watch the nicer one and he said something to him and rolled his eyes , Just a crappy experience , food was horrible , service was worst , not sure what the waiters issue was but buddy it wasn't even busy , maybe you should go in the back and wash dishes instead They only give you the napkins when they set the cutlery out , ask for more napkins and they act like its going to bankrupt them , refilled water after 1hr and lets not forget the flys , How this place has a client base I have no idea but 1 for one will never go here and will definitely not recommend it

We went as a group for lunch. The service was great and very attentive. We ordered a large variety of dishes and all of them were fabulous. The portions are hearty and prices very reasonable. We will certainly be returning.

Great place for a leisurely lunch in Markham

Oct 2019 • none

Met a friend I hadn't seen in a few years and we lingered over a long, delicious lunch. Never felt rushed, service was from another era -- polite, unobtrusive, helpful. The food was delicious. Will definitely return!

Don’t bother eating here if you aren’t old and white

Sep 2019 • family

Poor service and servers with bad attitudes. We had to ask 3 times for the server to please come to our table and take our order and that’s after waiting for 15 mins. The server assigned to our table outright ignored us, even though he was walking past our table several times giving other people their orders. We didn’t even receive basket of bread until much later. The servers were being very solicitous to other diners, the ones who were older and white. They probably assumed that us brown people were just there to eat for free for something. We had kids with us who as anyone with children knows can’t be kept waiting too long, as they were hungry. The only reason this dining experience was not a complete zero was that after we raised a fuss, they quickly switched our server and a younger lady came in and made sure to give us prompt service. The food was simple and tasty although nothing special or memorable. However, we won’t be returning due to neglectful and discriminatory service.
