I had it to go. Ordered over the phone during lunch time and still had to wait when I got there but it was expected since I saw the reviews from the other reviewers. I think I waited approx 15 min. There were approx 7 customers ahead of me, but I think it was either because of my advance phone call or what I had ordered (large Greek salad and a stick of chicken), I managed to get my order before 2 customers ahead of me in line. Either way, worth the wait if you have time. The food was tasty. I will go back when I am not in a rush, will definitely budget the time. read more

This seems to be the go to place after a night out on the town. I have been here twice and have enjoyed myself both times. This a Greek Restaurant that has the typical dishes u would find elsewhere. Both times I have been here the place was packed with customers. There portion sizes are large and satisfying for low price that won't break the bank. I think because there are only a few places in the city that are open late and even fewer places with sit down seating they have really cornered the late night owl market. I do feel on the other hand they should use some of the income to renovate the place, nothing too crazy as this is a very lo key restaurant I think a new paint coat or new dishes would really make a world of a difference. All this all the service is friendly, food is taste, location is easy to get to.. being right off the highway and the hours are great. read more

Dropped by Esquire since I was in the same plaza, the place is a little run down, upon entering there were many tables that werent cleaned. You order up at the counter, and then fit and wait until they call for your order. I ordered the gyro and chicken souvlaki to share with a friend. Portions are huge, seems like everything is made in house, and they dont stinge on their tzatziki sauce. Overall, not bad, ill most likely be back for take out next time. read more

If you like souvlaki, this is a great place and its open very late! They marinade the meat each morning and grill it fresh when you order it. Its well spiced and juicy every time. I haven't tried the potatoes or salad in a while so I'll reserve judgement. Make sure you order pork or chicken, it blows the gyros out of the water. Food ***1/2 Service **** (no table service) Ambience * read more

This restaurant is across the street from where I work and I recently tried it after a co-worker recommended it to me. They have amazing Greek food, and I was very impressed with the portion size also! Everything is made fresh to order and not like a typical take out restaurant where they make items in bulk and leave the food under warmers. You can call ahead to order and your food is ready in about 15-20 mins. They accept cash only - no debit or credit, so come prepared for that. They also have daily specials. There is plenty of seating available if you choose to eat in. It is also quite affordable considering the food is made fresh. read more

Chef never wears a face mask, especially from 1am and onward, and does not force customers to wear masks either

Best Souvliki in town INDEED. huge portion and tasty. the gyros are the yummiest gyros i've ever tasted. my favorite one is homemade burger with bacon( HP sauce, tomatoes, sauted onions ) and nice cold beer. If you are running late home and got nothing to eat or heading home from down town at 3 at morning on Friday or Saturday night then this is the place to go my fellow citizen. just make sure to bring in cash and order ahead. friendly service and cool guys worker there. read more

Not impressed. Went here based on the bragging of a family member. Two dinners comes to 28 bucks. The Greek salad is in fact not Greek at all . It's made with balsamic vinegar. And pepper. Too spiced to enjoy. The chicken is burnt , the potatoes are bland and you only get two small pieces and the rice is plain white rice. This was by far the worse imitation of Greek food I ever had. I will continue to go to Jimmy the Greek for the price and quality of food. I was very dissapointed when I opened my take out dinner plate which is a round metal plate like at a Chinese food store, that there was one spoon of rice like a spatula full. If it wasn't for the bread ,I would still be hungry. Overall I definitely will not go again. Very small amount for the price you pay. read more

Restaurant is alway super busy and a good alternative to fast food. The food is consistent, fresh and is simply good home style cooking. Bring your patience with you the wait for food is sometimes annoying. Also the cash only is strange in this day and age, make sure you have cash. read more

Above average great food! Quick efficient service! Great late nights! Clean! Tasty and consistent taste! Could be less bright! Highly recommended! read more

As someone who enjoys Greek food, I'm not coming back here! The food portions are ok in size but almost every other Greek restaurant I've been to is tastier and don't even get me started about the service! read more

This was my spot for over 10 years if not more. The other week we were there...having our souvlaki dinners and noticed some confusion behind the counter only to hear the cook pointing to the floor and telling the cash girl and his assistant "there's another one there". Then the girl took some powder and pouring it over the floor. Then all 3 of them were looking at the floor. What that something on the floor was, I'll never know but I'm glad that I was there at the right time in order to witness this. I will make sure to let all my friends know. I was going to report them and have the place inspected. I wonder if it's too late.... read more

Clean, fast, Cheap and taste good. Salad fresh. What more could I want. Highly recommend. read more

Esquire Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Best Greek in Scarborough. Affordable prices and good portions! I would give 5 stars but their service is extremely slow. Expect to wait a while for your food. Tip: Call in advance to place your order. read more

Yummy for people who are hungry lol... the only thing I would change is their salad dressing. It tastes like watered down dressing. Great place and open late. read more

Classic joint. Not much changes around here, thank goodness. It is still cash only. What you have to know from the get go is that THIS IS NOT AUTHENTIC GREEK FOOD, but that doesn't matter one bit! The value for the quality of the chicken is unbeatable. The salad is fresh and made on the spot; you just don't get that in many other places for this kind of money. Sure they drench it in oily dressing, but that is because that is how we like it. It's not Greek food, it's Scarborough food. Enjoy read more

I like the food here but they should never have "dine in" service. I sat and watched as order after order of take out went out the door while the trays for those dining in did not move. After 40 minutes of waiting I finally went up to complain and they basically brushed me off. This place should be take out only. read more

3 stars??? I'm now convinced Torontoians are nuts. What are you guys comparing this to?? This is one of the best Greek restaurants if not the best and yet it's half the price of the bugee spots on Danforth east, portions are huge, chicken is soft and fresh. To quote our boy, this place is gucci down to the potatoe baby without the price tag. Highly recommend for Greek. read more

Instead of going to Johnny Burgers, wanted to give this place a try, and I have to say that I regret my decision....got take out from this place, chicken souvlaki dinner for $12.75....chicken was dry and tasteless, fries were cold and soggy and the salad was drenched in dressing that was pretty gross....I will not be coming back to this place ever again....expensive for crappy food, I rather eat at jimmy the greek in the mall food court read more

Super slow service! Staff is rude. Food is ok but they ran out of onions at lunch! You can't have a Greek salad or pork pita without some onions. Portions are decent. read more

I've been coming here for years food is usually consistent for the most part but the last time I was there and I mean my last time, near the end of my chicken souvlaki dinner I noticed a hair on my chicken, I didn't pay much attention to it but then on the same piece of chicken there was another hair. I'm not one to complain but I went up to tell them and they immediately started shutting me down saying there was nothing they could do because I ate most of it, although I made no request for compensation all I said was I found this in my food and the people working there were up in arms getting mad at me and they took it away quickly and didn't even apologize. I live just down the street if your looking for food without hair in it I suggest going to paramount at the opposite corner. read more

Nice little Greek restaurant that has been around for years. I went with my friend who suggested it after a Roti restaurant we wanted to go to was closed for the evening. I ordered a greek souvlaki dinner. The portion was huge and the price was right ($12.00) However just when my order was ready, they told me they were out of potatoes and would substitute fries instead. I didn't want fries in the first place, so they should have offered another side dish or refunded me a portion of the bill. Giving a client something they didn't request or didn't want or order is totally disrespectful. Rather than just shove an order of fries on the plate, they should have offered something else. Other than this issue, the food was fresh, but I had one other small issue, there were a lot of empty dirty tables there as well. No matter how busy it gets keeping tables clean should always be a priorty, there is nothing worse than walking into a restaurant and seeing messy tables everywhere ...Would I go back here again? Probably not... read more

I love this place. Probably my favourite souvlaki place. Old styled diner. Huge portions. Lemon sauce and greek fries are amazing. I personally love the gyros on a pita that this place serves. Open till 3am. Tried ...tasted ...true!! read more

Decent for what it is - one of the few late night spots opened. Would not come here otherwise as there are much better in the city! FYI, if you get a wrap, they do not put fries in them like most other Greek places. read more

OK for a cheap late night eat in Scarborough, although their gyros could be seasoned better. Also cash only!

Great food, been there twice. First time, I ordered and waited 1.5 hours for my take out. Said they are very busy etc.... Second time, called in an order for pick up...I asked how long, guy says 15 to 20 mins....arrive to pick up food...took 50 mins from order time. I mentioned to them that I asked and was told 15 mins, well we are busy...no kidding! I get that, but just be honest with people and tell the real time. I will come at that time, instead a big line up with everyone waiting a very long time. read more

Best Greek Salad I have ever had. I love their Chicken Souvlaki Dinner. The portion is BIG and I really like their rice! Sometimes you have to wait; it's casual but not 'fast food'.... But so worth the wait. read more

If you live in Scarborough, you have to know Esquires. Family and friends have been coming here for years. Good for late nights out when you're hungry after partying or... just because you're hungry and want dinner. Best bets are chicken souvlaki on a pita or on a bun, or chicken souvlaki dinner, rice, potatoes and greek salad.... or the poutine on the side. Opt for the poutine. Skip the garlic bread. Cash only by the way. read more

The best Greek in the City! I love the Greek Salad! They only take cash but they are still always busy!

I am obsessed with esquire! It's well worth the wait! The portions are big and filled with flavor. Would recommend to everyone looking for a Greek meal! read more

Everything you expected from a quick N famous grab N go restro. The price was decent $12 bucks for a donkey (as in larger than a normal person can eat) sized plate of amazing Greek food. I know you can't compare Greek and Middle-Eastern, but for that price and portion, it puts Paramount to shame. I'd love to go back again this weekend. The meat here cooked very well. The Greek salad was delish. Fries, omg, the fries were crispy! Even after I opened up the takeout container when I got home. ammmmazing! And what's more amazing about it is that I had enough left overs for lunch next day! Winners all around! read more

Super huge fan of their GREEK FRIES. Oh my gosh man, so good yet so bad for us. BUT SO GOOD!! I've sampled their chicken sticks, delicious. I'm sure everything else is amazing too. Awesome service, however the wait time can get annoying. But worth it! read more

This place gets a lot of business by everything is fresh and cooked well. I grabbed a souvlaki dinner , good portions well worth it

This place is great. Super yummy Greek food, large quantities. My brother and I got take out and ordered the gyro and pork soulvaki dinner and it came to $26 taxes all in. We were both beached whales when we are done. Super juicy and tender meat, heaping piles of rice and large potatoes, and a pretty large Styrofoam container filled with Greek salad. read more

This is the only greek restaurant in the area. It's close to my office. It's not a place I visit often because greek food is heavy and after eating I feel sleepy and can't work. But once in a while I splurge and come here. I usually get the chicken souvlaki. It tastes like...chicken souvlaki. The food is decent and I have no complaints about them. Pretty standard fare. The only minor difference is they give you this piece of bread, which a lot of Greek restaurants don't. Not really a plus or a minus to me. If you care about portion, there's the Hakka restaurant next door which is better bang for your buck. But this is greek food. The prices are pretty much on point. I would come more often if everything was just $1 less. read more

My staple go to place for a meal when I'm not cooking at home or just fancy getting out with the family for an hour. They're super busy almost all the time, which can make wait times a little lengthy at the popular times, but the volume speaks for itself. High quality every time. We've used them to cater our business party's too and again, their standards and service are excellent. Highly recommend. read more

This has been a regular spot for me for years. Why? I live close by, It's open late, reasonably priced and the food is consistent and good. The staff may be slightly biased towards me as I am a regular however the service is always amazing for me. I typically get the chicken souvlaki and/or gyros with a Greek salad. The feta is always fresh as is the salad. I don't really care for the rice or the garlic bread just because I find it to be extremely bland and tasteless. The potatoes are ok sometimes but again I find that it can be a little tasteless too. I also highly recommend the homemade burger (one of my favorites! I usually ask for feta on it which is an extra cost but worth it) or souvlaki or gyros on a bun. Just a suggestion: if you are planning on coming here it's probably best to call ahead of time and place your order just so you can be in and out and not wait long. read more

The food is delicious! The prices are reasonable! The Greek Salad is delicious EXCEPT....... You gotta have Onions please! read more

I believe this is the best Greek Restaurant in Toronto. The food is always fresh and the Greek Salad is excellent. They only accept cash and they can do what they want because the place is always busy. read more

I have been coming here for years. It's a small restaurant with big portions for a reasonable price. Sometimes it can be a bit slow BUT that is not a criticism because the food is made fresh in front of you (yes you can see them cooking). They have the best gyros I have ever had and their tatziki is so delicious. No matter where I go in the world, I always compare gyros that I eat abroad to the gyros at Esquire and I swear, nothing compares. read more
