Price is great for what you get. I ordered seafood platter and lamb & rice. Seafood was as fresh as you can get in Alberta. Calamaris are cooked to perfect crispness and the batter on them are not too thick, just enough to give that light and buttery feeling. The lamb dish was incredible...the meat was so tender, it break a part so easily just by a spoon or a fork lightly touch it. The seasoning on it are so on point, you feel you are setting in one of the bank house in Greek. Even the rice was flavoured and cooked impressively. The deserts were unbelievable. I am not a big sweet tooth, but I had to try everything they offered, because they looks just way too good. The owner actually gave us free desert since some of us from really far away and someone had a personal connection with Greek. I am really happy for the experience I had in this restaurant.

The Flames game was on which was great to watch while enjoying our meal. It wasn't too busy when we got there but a a large party came in later. After 9p they have happy hour so we ordered off that menu. We got Sweet Potato Fries, Dry ribs, Mini Yorkshire Trio, and a Kids Grilled Cheese with Caesar salad. All the food was really good and great for sharing. My son really enjoyed the grilled cheese. The fries had a slight crispness and moist on the inside. The dry ribs had the right amount of salt and pepper. The mini yorkshire's were a highlight. Our server Rabeaca was awesome. Very warm and friendly - always had a smile.

Second time, I had beef dip, it was average. I got the same sides both times - veggies and dip, it was great on both occasions, and fries. The first time the fries were good, the second was not. My ranch and dill dip were room temp the second time around, which was somewhat unsettling. First trip, my date and I had Stella - it was on special and it was tasty and crispy. On my second visit, my date had an ice cold Guinness, I had the blond, both were cold and refreshing. I tried a sip of the Guinness and it was the best I have ever had. I would go there for drinks, but if I'm looking for a solid meal, Original Joes would not be my first pick, I think there are better places but it is conveniently located and you know what you're going to get. Decent hospitality and service from the waiters and waitresses. xo

The sauces are solid, tons of veg on the donair, and the guy who runs it is a boss. IYKYK. - Ingredients are always fresh and a solid selection of beverage. - The place is everything you expect from a hole in the wall local place.

I deliberately did not bring this up until after I paid so they would not accuse of wanting a free meal, nor did I after I paid. What I got was no response at all when I told them that the beef in the kebab was so overcooked that it was also impossible to chew. Although I did not tell them this, it was dry like beef flavoured sawdust held together with glue. The food was slopped into the container when it was brought to my table. They were not the least bit interested in what I had to say. Talk about rude. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT LIKE THE PLAGUE. DREADFUL MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD. On my mother's side, I have Middle Eastern heritage and know what good Arab food is.
