Greek food at it's finest. This is truly a remarkable family style restaurant. Walking around we decide to grab some food and we did not expect to eat so much haha. Sat down by the windows and the server promoted us after a while to go see the specials of the day in the kitchen. We were surprised by this, but you literally walk back in to the kitchen and the chef shows you the home made meals of the day. We chose to start off with a delicious feta cheese salad and then got some spinach style bake made with filo dough, it was delicious. And then got the lamb stew with artichokes and lemon and carrots. Was so filling in my belly and soul. Loved the place and all it offered. Parking is street parking and eat everything!

Very good food served at this unassuming Greek restaurant where the Chefs invite you into their kitchen and show their day's specials.

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. I never leave unhappy. The food is just incredible, and the portions are impressive. Everything is so fresh and flavourful! My mouth is watering just writing this review. The village salad is an absolute must.
The fish roe dip is creamy and delicious, but keep in mind that it is fish roe, so if you're a fan of seafood, the spicy feta dip is also amazing. Today was my first time trying the octopus and I was very impressed. I was afraid that just the one tentacle wouldn't be filling enough but it was perfect. My honey really loves his gyros platter and he gets it every single time we come here. I literally CANNOT wait to go back and eat here again.
It says 5/5 stars... but it really deserves a 10/5. -

Really good Greek food, with good portions and amazing salad!
FOOD // I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner to go! The portions were good and came with lots of chicken and rice. The chicken and potatoes were really good, but I found the rice a bit bland. I wish there was more seasoning or flavour to the rice alone. The salad was amazing and quite authentic, with a huge chunk of feta on top. The tzatziki was also pretty good and came in a huge quantity, but again not as garlic-y or flavourful as I hoped. I admit, it is really good Greek food, not the best I've had in Ontario, but the best I've had in Toronto.
PRICE // Given the portion size, I thought the dinner was reasonably priced. It's pricier than the typical Greek fast food, but the food itself is higher quality and tastes much more authentic!
Overall, I would love to return to dine in and satisfy my Greek food craving. I am still yet looking for the best Greek food in Toronto, but this holds the title for now!
Note: I've only had Athens take-out and haven't had a chance to dine-in yet, so I can't comment on the ambience and service. -

I'm Turkish. This place made the best eggplant, best beans, and best lamb I've ever had anywhere in the world. Will be coming again.
