    Fish and chips
    Kerry W.

    It's always nice to have a fish and chips place near me. It's a no frill kind of place. Not sure if they have tables for sitting down dining during non-covid time, but not now. The guy helping me out was polite and efficient. I ordered the halibut fish and chips, with a side of coleslaw and gravy. All this for $10. The halibut was on a much smaller portion, with plenty of chips to fill you up to make up for the little halibut (size matters). The gravy was watery. The coleslaw was more sweet and vinegary instead of creamy (but refreshing in a surprising way). The fish and chips were wrapped up in the traditional way - with newspaper. But for $10, I will go back.

    My partner and I had to come downtown and wanted to try a new place for lunch. He had been craving fish & chips lately, and found this restaurant on Yelp. It's a small, old-school, mom and pop shop. There was a picture of the menu from a few years back that I found online that said Halibut fish & chips was only $8. I thought...no way, it can't be that cheap! You could get a piece of Halibut alone for $5. Insanity in this day and age! We called to confirm, and learned that the price had gone up....to $5.50! $5.50 for a piece of Halibut is incredible! We placed an order, and my partner picked it up. It's cash online, so make sure to bring money with you. I had a piece of fish and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was okay and had a sweetness to it. Although the fish itself didn't look like it was some fancy homemade batter, for $5.50, I really couldn't complain b/c it was still tasty. The owner of the shop was really friendly and personable as well. I'm not surprised this place has been in business for 15+ years!

    The little take out place that seems frozen in time circa 1940. Fish and chips delicious,chips are crispy and abundant...halibut portion on the small side,but you're not paying much,its a cheap and quick lunch.

    I love this place! The owner is such a sweetheart. Fish and chips are $8, and very straightforward. One piece of fish and a ton of fries.

    I would say this is one of the best Greek restaurants I had so far. When you go in it feels very…read moreauthentic. The flaming cheese was delicious and the salad was delicious. Some broken plates but you can't get perfect. The flaming cheese was delicious with the bread excellent. The lamb was amazing, with the rice phenomenal, so tender melts in your mouth. One of the best Greek food I had in Toronto.

    We decided to come here for my partner's bday celebration as this place has a long history and has…read morebeen a stable in this community area in the Danforth for quite a while, so we were excited to taste some authentic Greek. We booked our reservation through their online phone system which was kind of unique as it takes down her info and number and time we wish to reserve for.... Our whole group arrived promptly for dinner on the weekday and was greeted at the front who appeared to be the owner with glasses. We told him our reservation name and time and info, and he checked but for some reason couldn't locate our info, but eventually found it... We were seated and because it was 7pm, it was busy... We sat there waiting for someone to greet us or to receive menus... Nothing for over 10+ minutes. We've seen new people come in and they got menu, water and bread pretty fast.. We were starting to wonder is it because we're not Greek or something to not get any attention... Then, our server informed us that he'll be with us but he was quite busy, so we understood... Poor guy didn't have the support staff to help him accordingly... Eventually, we got some water, we got menu's and we got some bread, so we ordered the following... Fried Calamari- $26+ - They have grilled or fried option, and really, can't go wrong with either one, but we got the fried version and it tasted quite good and fresh... It came with a small little cup sauce of tsitsiki. Cheese Saganaki- $19+ - An older gentlemen would come out with this hot pan with cheese and he'll pour some liquid on it which will make it flambee, so that is interesting but also a bit of a fire hazard if it catches someone nearby... - The cheese can be said to be salty, a bit sour, and would be fitting to enjoy on some bread that you're given with some butter... Eating on its own is okay. For mains, my bro got the meat entrees which consists of lamb chops, grilled chicken kabob, and sausage for $33+ and it comes with side greek salad and steamed veggies and roast potatoes. My partner got the pan fried cod fish with cold potato mash.. I believe its $30+... The fried cod fish tasted like salted fish in a sense, but a bit dry for our liking... Not sure it paired well with cold potato mash though. Lastly, we got the grilled octopus tentacles with side greek salad, and roast potatoes and steam veggies for $36+. - My bro gf and I both got the same dish, and when we ate the grilled octopus, it didn't taste fresh and the texture was not good. We didn't really mentioned anything until the end because our server was quite busy... They mentioned their seafood is fresh every two days or so, but we can tell the difference between the calamari freshness versus the octopus... We didn't want anything, but thought to share this concern as they admitted there was another table that expressed this as well... We didn't want anything out of it, but just sharing our experience really... As a proactive owner, they should realize this and know the correct resolution to ensure customer satisfaction, but basically disappeared. One thing to note, we gave the front desk owner our bday cake, which we'd assume they'd put it in a fridge to keep it cool or something, but they didn't, so when we got our cake at the end, it melted and was quite a disappointment... It appears this owner not only lack the basic services to customers and attention, but doesn't realize birthday cakes should be in the fridge to keep the consistency to enjoy after... For spending close to $300, you'd think this staple establishment would be a wow factor for services, food and quality... We can say, the only real effort came from our server trying to salvage the night and all, but still the lack of care from the owner really show this isn't the place to be and to consider elsewhere. Overall, the highlight was the calamari, greek salad... Everything else wasn't really much to brag about or stood out.
