This place has got me saying OPA!!! From each time I clumsily dropped my utensils, to when our…read moreserver brings over a enormous plate of QUALITY & DELICIOUS Greek food. With its super reasonable price, even for seafood & lamb, I'm so glad my family & I had dinner here! SAGANAKI - so fun to watch the waitress light a piece of cheese on fire. The citrus topped on the charred cheese also gave it a tangy flavour to have with the soft pita bread. MEDITERRANEO PLATTER - easily feeds 3 people. For starters, it came with: -Moussaka (absolute FAVOURITE dish I had, it's like a Greek Shepard's pie with creamed potatoes, saucey ground meet, & eggplants & zucchini layered within) -Dolmadakia -Side Vegetables The main dish had: -Lamb Chops -Chicken Souvlaki -Pork Souvlaki -Potato & Rice (tasted buttery & seasoned) All the meats were juicy, not dry, and deliciously seasoned with parsley flakes, dill & citrus flavours. I especially liked the lamb and chicken. The tzatziki sauce was super thick and went well with the souvlaki. LAMB STEW- so warm & comforting. The tomato, celery, bell pepper & onion flavours all combined incredibly with the tender lamb chunks. PORK TENDERLOIN - lean meat but not dry, again a comforting and flavourful dish. //DESSERTS// Do yourself a favour and don't forget to save room for it. I learned that Greek BAKLAVA uses walnuts & honey instead, so it's not overly sweet or soaked in sugar like the more familiar Turkish version. We also shared the STRAWBERRY YOGURT CHEESECAKE, which was extremely moist & refreshing, yet rich. //SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE// Service was so nice and welcoming. I'm so glad we stopped by for casual dinner, the space also gave off a very relaxed European feel. There's tons of booth seating and long tables at the corners of the restaurant (especially good for private parties or large dining groups). Overall, an eye-OPAning experience! The delicious Greek food, well-cooked proteins, hearty portions, AND reasonable prices will keep me coming back for more. Next time, I have my heart set on their calamari & seafood (which only ranges from 20-$25)! Anddd ordering a heap of the Moussaka haha, it's seriously the best.

First thing to note, service was not there at all. Once seated, the waitress paid no attention to…read moreus whatsoever and would not even look in our direction. The waiter who took our order was much better but still was missing good customer service skills. Asked for water for the table and wasn't delivered until our 4th time asking. We ordered the Med Platter which tasted great. Food overall was good for the price. Souvlaki and lamb chop were full of flavour and pretty juicy. Gyro was slighlty salty for my taste. This was my first time having moussaka and it had. I felt the filling lacked spice but the bechamel was a nice, creamy texture.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. Everything about it is amazing! The atmosphere is nice…read morewith ambient lighting and wood decor. I've been 3 times once for lunch and twice for dinner and it was only busy one of the times (dinner). It is a little bit on the pricey side but I think completely worth it because they give you 4 appetizer dips and bread at the start on the house, as well as the most heart-warming tea on the house to finish off your meal. The staff are very friendly and welcoming! There isn't a lot of choices on the menu, but everything I've tried has been delicious. The portion sizes are pretty big. For someone with a smaller appetite you may have to take some food home! Now I'll rate the things I've tried: Their meat dishes come with your choice of rice or fries and a salad. The salad is amazingly satisfying and the rice is the kind of pillowy fluffy comfort rice from your childhood. I've tried fries from friends and they were alright but not special. There are a ton of meat options and the quality IS AMAZING. Some of the best quality and tasting meat I've had. It's juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I've tried the lamb chops: they were delicious and that's coming from someone that's not a massive lamb lover. A bit expensive ($30) though since there are only 3 chops. So I wouldn't get them again. Adana kebab: DELICIOUS. Perfectly seasoned. Comes with a bit of thin bread to eat it with. This was my favourite order. Shashlik (forgive me I forget how to spell it): again a little pricier ($30 I think) but delicious!! Its a skewer with onion and perfectly delicious meat. Cheese pide: another favourite!!! This item is so affordable and is HUGE!! it tastes incredible I genuinely felt like I was in Turkey munching on the soft doughy cheesy delight that it was. The garlic sauce it comes with is heavenly. Lahamchun: yummy! Its a thinner dough than the pide so it's not as filling. But it's tasty and the portion size is huge as well. Good if you don't want to order a main meat dish. Cigar borek: good! Its a cylinder shaped pastry filled with cheese. Doesn't come with a lot. I probably wouldn't get again. Grape leaves: My friend LOVED these but I personally didn't. It didnt come with many though so its a bit pricier! All the "on-the-house" appetizers are delicious and fun to eat. My favourite is the beet one. The tea is amazing as well. A bit strong but it goes extremely well with the food. I think that's everything I wanted to mention. Highly recommend this place and I will be going often :)

Such a wonderful place to have a meal. Absolutely every aspect of our meal was excellent:…read more We tried the dip sampler and my friend had the chicken schwarma platter. The dips were all delicious and rich, and the pita was fresh and warm. The garlic aioli was also strong and creamy. The atmosphere was very family friendly with an almost cafeteria-like feel. Very casual and comfortable environment, with fast and easy service. The washrooms also surprised me with tampons and pads for anyone who needed one. All in all, food was authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

Friends and family living in the area have recommended this place and stated that they've been…read moregoing for years. I remember trying it (takeout) years ago but this is the first time I came in for dine-in. I love the cozy interiors and aesthetics. Decor is nice especially the booth seatings. Menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, but we opted for the family platter since it seemed like the best option for sharing. Portion was quite generous and a decent amount to share. We got the BBQ chicken ($74.99) which came with either rice or fries (or you could do half/half), salad of your choice (we opted for fattoush), 2 dips of your choice (we chose baba ghanoush & muhammara), 4 fresh pitas & a whole chicken. Restaurant has a lot of parking and seating. Staff were nice but it was a bit of a slow service (had to constantly ask for things, such as cutlery, plates, etc). The washroom had the A/C on blast and it was freezing cold but at least it was clean. Now for the food - everything we had was pretty good. I usually don't like garlic sauce but the one that came with the food was pretty creamy and delicious. As for the baba ghanoush, it didn't taste like it but it still had a nice flavour. The Muhammara was amazing, not overly spicy. As for the fattoush, I found it just OK. I've had better ones elsewhere and I find that it lacked the crispy pita bites, as there was only a few. However, it's worth noting that the chicken took around 30-40 minutes to be ready, which I didn't mind because it came well seasoned and well done. It was not too dry, but not juicy either but seasoned well. The rice was also ok and I like that the food wasn't too greasy, but the plate came with way too many onions... I'd recommend this spot and would come back if I'm ever in the area. Would love to try other dishes on the menu.

Aunty's Kitchen - Butter chicken dinner with rice and naan

Aunty's Kitchen is the go-to place near campus to get a late night meal: lots of carbs, rice, meat,…read morerice, and chicken. Did I mention carbs? Aunty's Kitchen used to be a sit down place, but they have transitioned to a pickup only store. Their online ordering (use only their own website and account) is the best way to place your order. They are usually without 5 - 10 mins from the selected pick-up time, plan accordingly. The in-store experience is a bit of a wait, just order online else, you might be waiting while they process the online orders. Order: - Fusion Shawarma Plate with Butter Naan The spiced fries are still a favourite, it stays crispy for a long time and a quick blast in the oven/air-fryer will revive it. The butter chicken is very saucy and get the garlic sauce because you'll need it with the ample fragrant biryani rice. The butter naan is nice and soft and if you reheat it, you can crisp it up into a buttered cracker. Any leftovers heat up well and is even more flavorful the next day. If it isn't demolished on the first go, you won't be missing anything having it later.

I tried aunty's kitchen for the first time and I was very disappointed. My friend recommended me…read moretheir butter chicken so I ordered it to go. When I opened the butter chicken I only had two small pieces of chicken in the whole container. The naan also felt more like a pita. The flavour wise for the butter chicken was ok but the lack of chicken was very disappointing. Service was okay, it's only a to go spot so there is no seating, you just order and go. Overall, dissatisfied with the lack of chicken.

We were here for a weekend lunch and there were folks there for a late breakfast as well as another family with small children having a meal together. Based on the phone calls, it sounded like the place was booked full out that evening. We had (table of four): - Mixed Grill Platter (for two): it fed more like 3 - 4 people, lots of variety to pick at; Sausage (pork), Chevaps (pork and beef sausages), Raznjici (pork), Chicken Schnitzel and Karadjordjeva Schnitzel (Pork rolled & stuffed with prosciutto and cottage cheese) - Vienna Schnitzel (pork) - all the dishes comes with (potatoes OR rice) AND vegetables (buttered carrots, beans, broccoli, cauliflower); various potato sides (like crispy fries) as available and rice (like tomato gypsy based) There was enough food for four people plus leftovers as a side for dinner. The sauce was great on everything from the schnitzel to the fries. Service was quick, food was great, and it was all at a great value. Will be back to try their buttered fried mushrooms and nature (mushroom) schnitzel in future. A local staple!

The server was very attentive and friendly. The salad was good; however, the pork chop was a little dry, but it had good flavor, and the veggies were delicious.
