They sell Pide under the name Ottawa Kabab too, but bigger and more expensive, the ones I got are smaller. I got the meat one ($4.99 BOGO ) and the cheese and sausage one (also $4.99 BOGO). Both were delicious. The meat Pide was filled with ground meat. It was flavourful and smelled so good. The cheese and sausage Pide had lots of cheese and little cubes of sausage. It was tasty, but I preferred the meat one. Although my husband liked the cheese and sausage better, so I guess it depends on your tastes. At any rate, we both agreed that they were delicious. I ordered on UberEats for pickup. Staff were friendly and efficient. They even wrote "Thank you" with a smiley face on my takeout box, lol. The restaurant itself has some seating inside as well as a patio. The parking situation is the only downfall. There is free parking in front of the restaurant, but there are not too many spaces and it's very tight. Difficult to maneuver around. Street parking is available but not the easiest to find nor convenient. Glad this place popped up on my UberEats deals :)

This is a decent find especially at this price point. I…read moretried the 3 kebab mix and added the hummus and toum option. They don't hold back the spice so a pleasant thing IMO as one gets to enjoy the food it is supposed to be. Priced very well so impressed was I that I ended up making a delivery order the following day. With a dearth of decent food for this cuisine in this city I would even give it a half star bump. Give them a try if you like this type of food.

We had come here as we were staying in the area from out-of-town, and wanted to try the food, as we…read morehad read excellent reviews. We were happy that we did decide to give this place a try, as it was everything that we had expected, and more! When we walked-in, we were greeted by a young man, that asked if we wanted take-out or dine-in. We chose dine-in however, the restaurant was quite busy at the time so, we had to be seated at a table near the front entrance. Upon sitting, we noticed the iPad that was on the table for ordering. We were also given paper menus to look at, which was easier. Once we had placed our orders, we waited only about ten minutes for our salads to arrive, along with the hummus and pita bread. The salads were absolutely amazing; the bowls were filled to the brim with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and feta cheese. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, and that dressing, WOW; it was delicious! It tied the salad in so well, it was the best salad we had ever tried at a Greek restaurant. The hummus was also delicious, with heated-up pita bread creating the finishing touches. This hummus was definitely homemade, and marvellous! We even asked for an additional pita, as the one we had wasn't enough for the four of us. This appetizer was definitely a great start! Once our main meals arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how large the portions were. And the homemade sauce on top of the rice was wonderful; I don't know how they made the sauce, but it was perfect with the rice. The chicken was tender, with the tzatziki sauce not being needed often due to the tenderness. The potatoes were huge, and deliciously spiced. The meal was massive, and we couldn't finish it all; definitely worth what we had paid for! Throughout the entire meal, the server checked on us, bringing us water when we had asked, and making sure we were well taken care of. As we were leaving, the owner/chef asked where we were visiting from, and if we enjoyed the food. This place was hands-down the best Greek restaurant that we've ever been to; down to earth family-owned, amazing food, and great hospitality. Will definitely be back, and would recommend that you all try it as well; you won't be disappointed!

It's located in a small strip and sometimes it takes time to find parking but not bad at all. The food is really good and fresh... You can feel the flavor of the marination and cook in the grill.

Based on other reviews, especially Keith T.'s, I ordered the half grilled boneless chicken plate with Bokhari rice. The plate also comes with turnips, salad, hummus, and garlic. I decided to upgrade the salad to a fattoush salad, get an additional 2oz hummus and garlic sauce (I didn't know how big/small the ones would be that came with the platter), as well as 2oz of Ali's Hot Sauce and an additional Kabab Halabi skewer. The chicken was cooked perfectly, great char but still super moist. the hot sauce was very spicy. The fresh herbs and vegetables on the side were such a great pairing. The fattoush was good, especially with the extra crispy pita chips on top. I do wish, however, that plain rice was an option, as I actually didn't need flavoured rice and would've preferred plain. My husband ordered a chicken taouk wrap with garlic, lettuce, onion, and tomato, plus batata hara and a Coke Zero. I've never had fateh before and also wanted to try it because of Hadia G.'s review. I got a single order. It had freshly cooked chickpeas with a mix of yogurt and tahini on a bead of pita chips and topped with pine nuts. This was by far my favourite and I could eat it ALL DAY. My husband and I were obsessed. OBSESSED! It was warm and delicious, creamy but not super rich, and very flavourful rather than just salty. I swear it should be illegal to eat this many pita chips, but we just couldn't stop. This is a bold statement, but I think it's one of the top vegetarian dishes I've ever had. It's on the breakfast menu but is available all day. I got knafeh for dessert, also for the first time. It was nice and cheesy, and I expected it to be sweet, but maybe just a little too sweet for me. Since this was my first time trying fateh, I can't compare it to anywhere else, but I would absolutely order it again and again!

I was reflecting during our visit how you might overlook this place from the outside, as it's in a plaza, across from a popular bar (The Royal Oak). However, it's cozy inside, and the food is great! We were greeted at the front door by the man standing behind the bar (he ended up being a waiter too), and seated promptly. It wasn't overly busy on a Wednesday at 7:00pm. We ordered and enjoyed our meal, and we were done in just over an hour. I can't wait to go back!

My husband got the Saffron Seafood Ravioli ($31.95). Our friends got the Moussaka ($25.75) and Chicken Souvlaki. The Chicken Souvlaki plate was great. The chicken was moist, tender and flavourful. I appreciated that the skewer was already removed so I didn't have to fumble with it. The rice was soft and fluffy. The potatoes were well seasoned and tasty. They weren't mealy at all. The vegetables were nicely cooked. They consisted of bell peppers, broccoli, carrots and zucchini. The tzatziki was really thick. It was a bit stronger and funkier smelling than I'm used to though, lol. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal (minus the tzatziki) and was stuffed silly afterwards. My husband also really enjoyed his meal, but was still hungry afterwards since his dish consisted of only 5 ravioli. Each ravioli was about 2 bites, so he was done in 10 bites, lol. He said it was very tasty and he enjoyed the rich creamy sauce. In retrospect, I probably should have given my husband some of my meal, hehe. Our friends also enjoyed their meals. We sat on the patio and it was great, as it was covered and provided shade on a hot day. The tables are not too close to each other, which I appreciated. With the exception of when a car drove by with music blaring, I almost forgot that I was eating under a tent in the parking lot in front of the restaurant ;) Service was attentive without being intrusive. They do have a 2 hour dining limit, which we were advised of when we made our reservations. We left before our limit on our own, so they didn't have to enforce it with us, lol. Overall, a great place for Greek food. Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.

Caesar salad was quite basic but decent. For that price, better put a little bacon or increase the size. My pizza (Italian) was ok but the meats chosen were not very good.

She had the mushroom soup (which she liked very much) and the beet pecan salad (she barely ate it...way too vinegary). Warm lemon pie was a big whatever. It was not bad.

We also got 3 traditional paellas to share. It was very flavourful but the rice is cooked very very al denté which I'm not used to. I'm not sure it was cooked this way even when I had it in Barcelona. Overall though the flavours were there and the portions were good. However, we ordered 3 of the same paella and we noted to them that one of the three was a lot smaller for some reason. We weren't sure if they had made a mistake. To our surprise, the server (maybe owner?) was not surprised at all and brushed it off, staying that it is the same portion in a much smaller pan. Honestly we had more than enough, but it was kind of awkward that they serve different size paellas for the same price. It seems a bit sketchy like they would change the portion on you depending on the group size? Usually when you order something for a set price, it's a standard size. Besides this, the service was good.
