Chicken poutine
Jimena B.

If you're looking for a Greek restaurant with huge portions, this is the place to visit. The food tastes really good, and the service is excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is quite normal; it doesn't have a particularly aesthetic feel.

Chicken souvlaki dinner with rice and potatoes
Navnit S.

This restaurant is great for when you are craving Greek food. The food is 10/10!! We got the chicken souvlaki dinner and it came with rice potatoes and salad. Enough to feed two people. Prices were great too but only negative was the fact that it is cash only so had to find a bank to take out cash. I took off a star cause of that. Other than that the restaurant is big, clean, and open till late too!

Onion rings
Gary T.

Went to Esquire yesterday for lunch after some recommendations from co workers and friends. Service was friendly and the location was well kept and clean. Ordered a homeburger and onion rings. Onion rings a bit soggy, due to the take out container. Homeburger was ok, nothing too special. Not sure this restaurant would be on the top of my list of go tos, with Johnnys Hamburger and others around the neighbourhood.

Chicken Souvlaki Dinner

Honestly Esquire's food is amazing. I got the chicken souvlaki plate, and the flavours of the chicken are spot on, however the bread was little bit hard. The restaurant itself is pretty neat overall. The only drawback is that they're cash only. Otherwise, I definitely recommend checking it out!

Chicken Dinner Plate

Have a Chicken dinner plate, the portions are first of all so HUGE! Worth every dollar! And the best part, it tastes so damn amazing!!!

Chicken Souvlaki Dinner with Rice and Potatoes

Long-standing Greek spot for souvlaki, steak, gyros and grilled BBQ platters. This late-night, CASH ONLY, eatery has been serving fast food counter service and takeaway orders to customers since 1981. They've raised their prices due to inflation but the food quality has remained the same. Their chargrilled Chicken Souvlaki Dinner is tender, juicy, and comes with a generous amount of tzatziki, garlic bread, salad, fries or rice with potato. Their burgers are not bad, if you're looking for an alternative to Johnny's Hamburgers in the next plaza.

Updated this for COVID-19 situation. Came here with a takeout order of gyro on pita and hamburger. Definitely stick to the Greek items not the hamburger/hotdogs. Everything was ready on time. Gyro on pita is delicious - thick multiple cuts of gyro on a pita bread with tomatoes and onions and sauce. Delicious. Come back for this every time. Hamburger was okay. Probably just a normal frozen patty on a burger bun with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard. Decent sized burger diameter wise but the patty is decently thin. Probably wouldn't get it again. The price is hard to beat though - for both items, just came to 10$.

Esquire has been around for a long time, serving up decent Greek food until the wee hours of the morning, making it a great late night spot. It's a simple place with ordering and pickup at the counter and ample seating. Cash only. It was late and we were hungry. There were a few diners there when we arrived and a few waiting for their orders but we ordered right away and found a table. We ordered a Pork Souvlaki dinner, Gyros on a pita, and two small Greek salads. THE GOOD. The food was tasty and the portions were on the generous side. The prices are very good for what you get. THE BAD. REALLY BAD. The service here is terribly SLOW! I usually give a business the benefit of the doubt when I read reviews but I see I'm just one of many that have the same complaint. It took around 45 minutes to prepare our order! It was very obvious that we weren't the only ones waiting and getting irritated. It was also very obvious that orders weren't being prepared in the sequence they were received in. A party of four arrived after us, ate, and left before we did. Another gentleman was waiting for his takeout order before we got there and we got our order before he did. He was understandably not happy. Another fellow arrived while we were waiting and got his order fairly quickly. With an open kitchen, we observed no reason for the delay in preparing orders. The staff just had no sense of urgency and didn't seem to care that customers were complaining. CONCLUSION. Esquire represents a good value for Greek food if you don't mind crappy service. I do.

Chicken souvlaki dinner
Yasmin M.

Esquire is my go-to place for a souvlaki or Greek food craving. Everything is made fresh to order, prices are super reasonable and the food always tastes great! My friend told me about this place and I've been going ever since. Just a heads up, their tzatziki sauce is pretty heavy on the garlic. Also there's a great Greek pastry place next door definitely worth it to finish a great Greek meal.

Cook not wearing mask while cooking.
Martinn L.

Cook does not wear mask while preparing food. In fact, he was rapping (singing) while grilling the food on the grill. Manager said nothing to this cook about not wearing a mask or SINGING while preparing the food. Will not go back until pandemic is over. Too risky.

Gyros on a pita ! Sooo good !
Wize M.

Best Greek food in Scarborough. I have tried the chicken souvlaki dinner, the pork souvlaki dinner, the gyros on a pita and I must say everything is always delicious and I've never been disappointed. Freshly prepared with fresh ingredients and decent portions. If your looking for good Greek food , check this place out! Make sure to call ahead to place your order as they are very busy, and they only except cash. Wish I had a better picture of this gyros ;) but it was the best!

Mandy's is the perfect lunch spot if you're looking for deliciously dressed, very satisfying salads…read moreand bowls. Their menu is pretty extensive; many options and you can actually create your own salad by checking off a checklist paper at the cash. Their dressings are all super tasty. Their menu staff are super friendly and welcoming. The service is pretty quick, but lunch hour can be a bit hectic as one expects. Super cute atmosphere and front patio seating available on Ossington for people watching as you enjoy your salad. I come here regularly because it's just so tasty, and a healthier option. Highly recommend!

For take out, I ordered the Pacific Crunch which has rice noodles, cilantro, mint, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, green onions, edamame, red peppers, mango, cashews, and coconut curry shrimp. The service was quick, as it took about 10 minutes to prepare the bowl. I enjoyed the Pacific Crunch; it was very tasty and the ingredients complimented each other well. However, I am giving Mandy's 3 stars as I was very disappointed with the portion size, especially considering the price. My bowl was only 2/3 full, when compared to the bowl purchased by my friend. For the price, I would expect the bowl to be completely full, with more than 4 shrimp.

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen located along Queen St. W. near John St. is primarily a take out spot…read moreserving salads, bowls, and smoothies while incorporating elements of Peruvian cuisine and culture. I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!

Great spot if you're looking for something healthy and budget friendly. Great value for the price…read more Portions are huge! Theres a great variety of fresh ingredients inspired by Peruvian cuisine. Service is always great and there's a few spots to dine in.

I was having one of those days where I felt a little under the weather and the last thing I wanted…read morewas heavy, greasy food. I was downtown and stumbled upon this grab-and-go spot, and it was exactly what I needed. I ordered two burrito bowls and a soup, and the total was around $50. Honestly, it was worth every single dollar. What really sold me on this place is how precise they are--they literally measure out every portion of protein, vegetables, and fats. It's awesome for anyone who's tracking their intake or just appreciates getting a perfectly balanced meal. Beyond the great food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helpful. The prices are totally fair for the quality you get. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and looking for a quick, healthy bite.

We stopped by here while in the area and had a great experience…read more The Ambiance: The ambiance is pretty casual and common to other vegan / health food restaurants. There are also only a few tables. The Food: The food is fantastic! I ordered the Bibimbowl gluten and dairy free. It tasted delicious. I believe the dressing was changed to another dressing but the flavour combination was exquisite. I actually preferred this restaurant over another go-to vegan restaurant we frequent with similar ambiance. The Service: The service was really good. The employee working made out food really quickly and was very friendly. Will we return? Absolutely!
