It's good food but sometimes the potatoes are not fully cooked. I call it life saver . It's convenient location for us and hot food . It's mostly take out but there is room to sit and eat too. read more

This bar/Portuguese restaurant is quite no frills, with minimal service too. It is like a southern…read moreEuropean bar where working class men hang out. For dinner at least there's a limited food selection from a mini hot table. There was no vegetable option. The half chicken set with rice & potatoes was $16. The chicken was pretty tasty & well cooked & moist except for the breast which was a bit dry. The rice was decent though a few grains were slightly dry. The potatoes were tastier than average but the texture of some was a bit mushy. The hot sauce was pretty spicy.

Besides bread you get black & green olives to snack on. Surf and turf came with steak, 1 large prawn (given its size, it wasn't shrimp) & clams. The sauce for all 3 was a rather unusual spice blend that was pretty tasty & the prawn was pretty fresh. The chips the dish came with were greasy & not crispy though. Minho style codfish is fried. We had the grilled codfish. It was huge. It was so-so, though on the firm side & it was very hard the next day. Their desserts are cheap. The pudding is home made, but custard from heaven isn't. The pudding was dense & eggy, but had a very strong burnt, bitter taste, especially the bottom, which was black. The server said it was due to lemon zest, but it seems someone put way too much.

What frustrates me is that businesses will go out of there way to post inaccurate reviews, for the benefit of themselves. Last time I was here I did not get what I expected. The meat was incredibly dry and over cooked. The potatoes were undercooked and bland. The rice seemed dry. Do yourself a favour. Coming from a Portuguese background, do NOT come here if you are expecting something authentic or even just good.

I was craving for the shrimp patties and the only good ones were usually downtown. I found Galina's Bbq via Yelp, so I knew I had to get some to try.

Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious. The rice was a bit too salty though. Service was great; the waitress told me her aunt opened this restaurant more than 10 years ago.

We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday, the dining area was empty so we got to pick of tables. We ordered two appetizers, three entrees and a drink. The meal started out well, with some bread, butter and preserved olives. It was lovely to have something to nibble on while waiting. 30 min later, the appetizer of chirizo sausage arrived. It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious. After such a long wait, it was disappointing to be served cold food. Also, our second appetizer never came and we had to remind the waiter not to bill us for it.

At second glance it was obvious that the men were drinking beer and enjoying the free WIFI rather than eating. The meat for the gyro was already cut and lay dried out in the warming tray.

Without an answer she flipped the pile looking for something a little less dry. Honestly I could have build a wonderful card house with whatvi plucked from the cold pita pocket and thru in the garbage. I should have complained but I was hungry and in a hurry. Never a good combo.

During one of the few times I've dined in, I decided that this place definitely deserved a review if it causes more people to give them their business by dining here! The staff at this restaurant are very friendly and personable. I never feel like I'm bothering them when I ask them questions about the menu, or what might be in a dish. Additionally, they're very prompt with refilling water for you if your table orders glasses of water as well, indicating that they're extremely diligent. [Taramosalata] $7.00 - red fish roe blended with garlic, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil! Comes with grilled pita ~ This is extremely savory but in the best ways. I love getting this as a spread for a sandwich when I have leftovers. Do take note though, that this is a dish that has an extremely fishy flavor so be warned! I highly recommend you get it to share with others in the event that it's not your cup of tea, but for me, I'll happily devour this any day of the week. [Chicken Souvlaki on a Bun] $8.50 - chicken souvlaki pieces on a bun! Comes with tomatoes, and red onions so if you don't like either of those, ensure you ask them to omit it. It also comes with tzaziki on the bun as well. I love how flavorful the souvlaki is but sometimes, if I have leftover taramosalata, I will slather some of it onto the bun for an extra punch of flavor! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKE GREEK FOOD :D
