  Ordered via uber eats and even being delivered, this was on of the best chicken Gyros plates I've ever had. Perfectly season meat, tasty sides, and solid portion. We got a Bogo deal which was absolutely incredible value, and even with out it I'd still happily pay given the flavor and portion. A lot of classic Greek offerings on the menu and given my first experience, I'll definitely be ordering again and trying more of their menu. Highly recommend!

  I came in to the restaurant with no expectations but I’m a big fan of Greek food so I was still excited to try the food out. They have a high rating on Google for a reason! The portion sizes are HUGE and reasonably priced!! Dinner plates can def be shared with two ppl! Even the lunch plates are big too and I couldn’t finish, but you can share the lunch dishes too. And it’s half the price! Lunch plates you get salad, French fries and pita on top of the heaps of meat you get on top. And don’t forget, it comes with their house made tzatziki sauce. Delicious! It’s a family run business with the parents and their son and daughter. They were all very warm and hospitable. I def will be recommending their restaurant to my friends and family. I also highly recommend their eggplant salad. Not your typical baba ghanoush kind of dip! Freshly smashed eggplant with all types of herbs in it. To die for! Everything we ordered was truly delicious though. I recommend trying them all if you can. But definitely, judge their restaurant after trying their huge lunch and dinner plates. ;)

  The atmosphere is welcoming and authentic, and you’re treated less like a customer and more like a guest in someone’s home. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely proud of the food they serve. Every dish was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The grilled meats were perfectly seasoned, the tzatziki was rich and creamy, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. You can taste the tradition in every bite, and the homemade desserts were the perfect way to end the meal. If you’re looking for real Greek food made with heart, this is the place. Supporting family businesses like this makes the experience even more special, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

  TL;DR Cozy, family-run, decent service, language barrier, tasty chicken skewers, near-perfect potatoes, fresh Greek salad, cucumber-heavy tzatziki, online order fee. Location: - Small spot but cozy with a family touch. It has a nice opening to the road and small bar area/take out area. Service: - Their website lets you order for pick up but they have a $1.99 service fee plus ask for a tip...if you call then it seems to get the fee waived. There was quite a bit of rings on a weekend at 10PM but they eventually answered. The lady who answered told me she wasn't fluent in English but was able to take my order without a problem. They offered me wooden like cutlery for my takeout order. I read a lot of reviews about the lady in the front having issues but she was fine with me, besides when I told her not to staple my To Go bag and she said no and did it anyways but maybe she was just looking out for my meal. Besides that, maybe a big part of the issue people had with her, is the language barrier. Food - I purchased the Chicken Stick Dinner w Greek Salad and Potatoes ($28.xx). Pita was a good texture, thin crust. Slightly crisp on the outside. Not much flavour besides the lime transferring from the chicken. Potatoes are cooked to almost perfection. Slight hard on the outside so it does fall apart with slight mushy texture on the inside. Lime flavour is great, but not much flavour beyond that. The size is about 3/4 of a whole potato. Chicken is cooked just right. A bit of a char on the outside and soft but not chewy texture on the inside. BBQ flavour all throughout. Two skewers, about 7 inches long by 1 inch wide. A bit bland besides that but pairs better with with the tzatziki sauce. Skewer has onions between the chicken chunks, nice touch. Tzatziki sauce is a bit chunky with cucumbers, most of the flavour is cucumber. Salad was about 2.5 fist of veggies and good amount of feta cheese. It had a splash of dressing, mostly if not all oil, added no flavour to it. I was worried I wasn't going to get full, considering most Souvlaki dinners come with 2 sides plus the salad and this one came with 2 sided but not a salad on the side, however this one came with 2 large chicken skewers so i was happily surprised to get more value and get full off chicken instead of carbs like a bunch of rice

  I came to try this place because it has good Google reviews and there was a BOGO deal on an app for takeout which made it great value. This portion sizes were huge! I got the chicken dinner which comes with salad, rice, potatoes, pita and tzatziki. The chicken and salad were tasty, but the potatoes were too seasoned while the rice was bland. I also wish there was more of that fresh and creamy cucumber forward tzatziki. Definitely a satisfying meal after a long work day and you don't want to cook with leftovers for lunch tomorrow too. Will come back to try more of the menu!
