This is a great place for family gatherings. Our server really went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and to help our group look after a toddler and an infant. FIVE STAR SERVICE!

Enjoyed a two person platter featuring lamb souvlaki which was almost perfectly cooked and a mild Greek spice flavour.The meatballs also hot and went well with Tsatziki; would replace the calamari for lemon rice or potato to have a starch in the meal.Server was attentive and prompt and prices very reasonable.One booth and one big rectangular table and mostly long row of padded bench seats facing a 2 person table with chair opposite.Some splashes of colour and Greek memorabilia would enhance the environment.

I recently dined here and was utterly blown away by their spanakopita. The flaky layers of phyllo pastry enveloping a rich, creamy spinach and feta filling were simply divine. Each bite was a perfect balance of savory flavors, leaving me longing for more. It's safe to say, this restaurant has set the bar high for spanakopita excellence! Everything else was great too! Will be back.

This is a really good independent, neighbourhood restaurant where both the cooks and the servers try hard to give you the best. I come regularly. It's friendly and the food is delicious. The chicken souvlaki is my favourite.Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten free. Lots of options.

Just checked with the restaurant and the only halal meat here is their lamb. They're not able to confirm if their chicken and beef are halal because of no halal label on the packaging. They also serve pork and the grill is used for all meats unless requested to be cooked separately.

We were looking forward to a nice dinner out. Greek food is one of my favourites. However, it was pretty disappointing all around. The atmosphere was not relaxing; the lights were full on bright (we could barely see the candle on our table) and they had several tv screens going. Like, whaaat??? This I could not understand at all. It's not a sports bar! Yuck. The food was mediocre. Moussaka microwaved resulting in rubbery Bechamel sauce. Rice mushy. Lemon potatoes not lemony...though there was a slice of lemon (is it supposed to be DIY?) Greek salad OK. Wine OK. Not going again, sorry. I expect better from a restaurant in Cook Street Village.

Really wonderful waitress! Great lunch. We enjoyed the dip trio, gyro plate and gyro pita. The pita bread and rice were fantastic. I loved the fresh salad.
