This is a nice little Greek restaurant in a busy plaza in Markham. I've been here a couple of times now for lunch, and they have wonderful, friendly service. It's been quick and efficient, so it's a perfect spot for a quick bite during the work week. I've had the souvlaki small plate, and it's super filling! They give you some garlic bread while you wait which is a wonderful touch. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the mood for Greek food, I'm glad I found my new spot! read more

This Greek place is close to where I work so I often times will get takeout on my way home for dinner. 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 read more

I have been here twice in the past week I must say the food is very flavourful I had the gyros and the chicken souvlaki. They were both well seasoned and I thoroughly enjoyed both meals. The price was right as well for the quality of food I received. I definitely recommend this place for any greek cuisine lovers. ( that would include me ) I will be back for further testing of their menu. One thing I will say is maybe avoid their roast potatoes, I didn't find their kinda lemony sauce too pleasing. No worries I will have their rice instead. Otherwise great job on the greek staples, Souvlaki and Gyros. At least my Greek staples. and oh great Greek salad as well. read more

I placed an order by phone and had to order for my brother also. The lady made 2 separate orders for me so I could deliver my brother's food more easily. It was a Wednesday evening after my appt in the same plaza. I had to wait about 25-30 min. Understandable as they were busy. I saw many people in and out of the restaurant. It's great and I'm happy to see they're getting a lot of business during this time. The food was fresh. I had the village salad and it was delicious. Lots of black olives and feta in my salad. A great place for quick and quality Greek food in Markham. read more

Greek food has always been something my parents want every time they're in town! After spending a full day at an outlet, I decided to bring them here . we tend to order the same dishes, lamb souvlaki and pork souvlaki typically I get mine with rice and potatoes, but I wasn't in the mood for a whole plate full of carbs and opted for veggies & rice. Parents on the other hand typically want veggies, but they opted for rice and potatoes - which works in my favour cause I can mooch off their plates for potatoes read more

My boss at C21 was craving for Greek food one night, so we have decided to visit Loui's Kouzina to satisfy his cravings lol. I've never been, but boss seems to love this place a lot and he often orders take out. It was FREEZING cold this evening, we were welcomed by WARM smiles when we walked in :) The people working there were very friendly. I was especially impressed with our waiter who remembered our orders and special requests like a breeze! He also made sure our cups of hot water is always full. Since I 'should be' on a diet after being gluttons over the holidays, I tried to order something small and light for my dinner - a buttery Garlic Shrimps ($10) appetizer for my protein and a refreshing Village Salad ($7.50). But then... there was the complimentary warm garlic bread!! OMG it was so addictive, and I can't stay no to bread lol. I stole a piece of lamb from my hubby's Lamb Souvlaki dinner ($19.50), and the meat was very succulent and flavourful. And then I started eating off his fries lol. They were hot and crispy, and I can't stay no to fries either. Sigh, so much for dieting T_T Overall, a satisfying meal with very good portions, great value when you order Souvlaki plates and warm service! read more

A Greek restaurant in a corner strip mall that's got big taste. Visited this place on a Monday afternoon for lunch at 12:30pm. No reservations needed. Staff friendly and attentive. Food portions are indicative of the price. Family ordered the small pork souvlaki (x3) and a kalamari appetizer. Complimentary garlic bread was so good we asked for a second helping. The kalamari appetizer portion was good for 3 people (mom, dad and 13 yr old daughter) and wasn't overdone. And none of us finished our souvlaki meals because we were so full. Pork was tender and seasoned well. No alcohol or pop ordered and bill came to just over $100 (with tip). Will be coming back! read more

This place used to be our GoTo for local gyros. We loved their gyros and teramousalada dips. I think ownership changed a couple times. The last one wasn't very friendly but the latest one seems more personable. However the portions have shrunk substantially. The gyro meat this last visit was shredded so small they kept falling out of the sandwich, and there was barely enough to fill the pita Understandably prices have gone up, but considering how much they've inflated and how small the portions are now, sadly it might be time to find another place. read more

STOP ORDERING THE TRIO....unless you have 4+ people. This wonderful assortment of pita slices with hummus, tzatziki and that delightfully delicious pink taramasalata CANNOT be tackled by just 2 people. I KEEP MAKING THAT MISTAKE (with my fiancé). What can I say? I guess we're gluttons for gluten...and punishment. Aside from stuffing our faces with bread and delicious Middle Eastern spreads, Loui's Kouzina is a great place in Markham to stuff your face on a variety of Greek foods. Kebabs, gyros, pitas, salads, etc. All that meaty goodness that Greek food offers can be found here, with a generous side of potatoes and rice. My favourite lunch order is pretty weak, a small salad and an order of taramasalata shared with someone. Maybe a skewer or two. What you don't understand are the portions are HUMONGOUS. That small salad could be a salad entree at another restaurant. Despite my seemingly small order, I always leave with leftovers. My fiance always gets the small kebab plate at $12. He's a big boy and that's a full meal, with not just skewers, but salad and sides. And how can this be a great Greek place if the meat isn't good? The skewers are always tender and juicy. The pork is very succulent but the chicken is up there as well. I'm not a fan of lamb, but I did take a bite of the oven roasted lamb shank someone else ordered one time. It was soft to the point of falling off the bone and very lamb-y...perfect for someone who's into that! Service is friendly, and I've never had a problem even with a larger crew. Water is always filled, people are always friendly. When you've got value, variety, and flavours like this, you've got a repeat customer in me. Thanks Lou's Kouzina, for making me realize Greek food isn't just "dry meat on a stick". (50/100) - 2017 read more

Stopped here for a lunch date and the staff were friendly. We were greeted and seated as soon as possible and they gave us time to review the menu options. I ordered chicken on a small plate and my boyfriend had the gyro. The meat was all well cooked and seasoned but a bit salty. The Greek salad was very wet :/ I was not a fan of my extremely drenched salad... The sides are not very well seasoned or cooked. Rice is bland and mushy and the potatoes were the same. The fries seemed okay so I'd just stick to those. The prices are a bit higher but the food doesn't seem to follow up with that pricing. It wasn't a bad experience per se but the food makes me quite confident that I will not be returning.. read more

Always empty. Deff reflects the service and quality here. Used to be good here years ago. Now the chicken is super dry and hard to eat. Dnt order Caesar salad I dnt even know what they make it with. Going to keep walking by this place. Much better options in Markham read more

Loui's Kouzina is one of the best Greek restaurant up in Markham... Not that Markham has a lot of other choices for some decent Greek food. Try not to come on a Saturday night unless you don't mind waiting... At 7 pm, there is a line up for tables!! Chicken Souvlaki with 2 sides ($10.95) is satisfying... Chicken is surprisingly juicy and has that right off the grill flavour. Though my food took some time to arrive, I ate the whole loaf of garlic bread while I waited.... Service is good as my waitress checked on me the whole evening and reassure me that my food would be coming soon..... Now I know Loui's Kouzina would be my Greek restaurant if ever I feel like having some Greek food up in Markham! read more

It was overall alright, the interior was not much took look at and the food was alright - good flavour but my greek fries were dry and hard to swallow, tzatziki was a little too thick making it hard to use. My server although super sweet, brought out my friends salad way before any of my food so we had to awkwardly sit for maybe 10 min while waiting for my salad which ended up coming on my meal plate. The free "garlic bread" is a kind touch. Might return if I'm in the need for a quick Greek fix that's close by and not in a food court environment. read more

Loui's Kouzina - Small Chicken Souvlaki with Greek Fries - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Ordered take out dinner for a large party (about 15 people). They package everything separately and all dinners come with salad. I got the large chicken souvlaki and the portions were so generous I had enough for another meal. We called in the day before just to give them a heads up of a large order because some restaurants require that. The veggies were fresh and the chicken was juicy. Would definitely come back for some greek food if in the area. read more

Full disclosure; I am not the biggest fan of Greek food. With that said, here, we, GO! Loui's Kouzina is a relaxed environment Greek restaurant located in the plaza at Woodbine and 16th Avenue in Markham. In step with the Greek theme, much of the decor features bold Greek blue and white colours. The feel of the space is brightened, literally, by the welcome amount of natural light that flows in. These guys have been in the area since 2008, so they must be doing something right. To be honest, my favourite item to get here is their trio dip appetizer. You'll be served several slices of fresh nan with which you can scoop up tzatziki, hummus, or taramosalata. Taramosalata is a blend of red fish roe, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. There is nothing mind blowing about this dish, but for me, the flavours are relatively simple, while at the same time vibrant. It's a great way to get me on board! My personal favourite is the taramosalata :) I also tend to get the small pork souvlaki. All of their small plates are served with salad, tzatziki, and one of: fries, assorted vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes. In general, this restaurant aims to please with simple ingredients, which is highlighted by these two dishes. To their credit, I've always been satisfied eating here, and I'm sure you would be too. Don't expect life changing flavours, but do expect quality. read more

Take out only during lockdown, but easy to order and was ready on time. Chicken souvlaki with rice and roast potatoes, extra pita and chicken skewers. Everything was great. Tasty, flavourful, decent size portion too. The chicken was a little tough, but it was still good. The potatoes portion were quite big, like 2 full potatoes! Other than that, very good and will likely go back for Greek. Oh, the salad was also good. Crispy lettuce, fresh feta and light dressing. Awesome. read more

A solid 3 stars! Loui's is located in a strip mall where 80% of the shops are VERY Asian. The staff also appear mostly Asian. I was not expecting great Greek food. The friendly staff were charming and the lamb souflaki was very good. They also included garlic bread. The menu was respectable but not exhaustive. It was a solid meal. I left happy. Oh, they take Visa and MC but not Amex. read more

Food was....alright. We ordered lunch for the office on a Friday. We called in our order and food was prepared quickly. The portion sizes were massive and matched the higher than average price($15.77), but the quality of food wasn't....amazing. I got the small gyro plate with potatoes. The plate contained a lot of meat, but it was a bit dry. This was the complete opposite of the Greek salad which was extremely soggy. I heard a lot of hype over the potatoes, but they didn't measure up to it's name. Sorry to say that the best part of the meal was the hot dog bun garlic bread that came on the side. Overall, it wasn't my favourite place for Greek food. Might return one day to give it a second chance, but probably not anytime soon. read more

Pros: Well prepared dishes Good value Cons: Not too much seating Loui's has become my go to for Greek cuisine when I'm out. Great service and food at a good price. I couldn't ask for more from a place like this. My go to dish at Greek restaurants is always the lamb souvlaki. Most Greek restaurants now charge upwards of $20+ for the dish. I can get one at Loui's for $16.99. That's amazing if you ask me. Most dishes here seem to cost anywhere from $2-4 cheaper than you can find elsewhere. The best part here is you don't sacrifice any taste for the value. The lamb souvlaki was very tender and not dry at all. You get a very good portion for what you pay. I love the roasted potatoes here. They are served in a sauce that's just perfect for them. It makes the potatoes never dry that way. They also drizzle a bit of that sauce over the rice which makes that extra tasty as well! Even the salads here are pretty good for a complimentary salad. My little ones can't stop eating the salad here so as a father that makes me very happy to see that. My only gripe is that there aren't too many tables at this place. It's a very popular place among the locals so you can expects wait times during peak times. Turnover for Greek cuisine isn't the fastest either. Plan accordingly and you should be fine though. When I'm uptown and feeling Greek, I'm always going to be coming here for my fix. I've yet to find a place to offers prices like loui's that isn't a fast food chain. read more

The moment I posted my check-in to Loui's on facebook a litany of fb peeps erupted on my wall letting me know how this place used to be good before ownership changed hands. I'd never been before so I have no basis for comparison, that said, I let my own experience shape my opinion and here is what I found. Greek people are typically insanely proud of their culture and their cuisine so I was a touch surprised to see the entire restaurant was run (front and back of house) by folks of Indian heritage. This is neither a plus nor a minus, but it does call the authenticity into question a tad. Our server really wasn't all that helpful with recommendations, and my dining friend had to ask/clarify his order/questions several times (to the point of it being a tad awkward) before he became exasperated and simply made an order. I had a hankering for a Gyro platter as I was a little tired of chicken and pork, so I ordered the large plate. The meal came with 2 sides (the standard potato/rice) and also a salad. I opted for the Greek Salad. The salad arrived first and was served in a very tiny bowl which was hard to maneuver, and each time I put my fork in either lettuce, tomato or feta would fall on the table. That said, when I saw the platter of Gyro coming towards me I got very excited as there appeared to be an incredible amount of meat on the plate. That excitement lasted until the dish was placed in front of me and I looked on at the driest (albeit largest) portion of Gyro I've ever seen. Basically, what had happened was the gyro that was given to me was all of the over cooked stuff on the outer ridge, it was not cooked on the grill as is customary, just dry meat carved off the spit and placed in impressive fashion on my plate. The one side was cracked and dry and the under side of each piece was as it should be. Dealing with a Mount Olympus sized plate of dry gyro would require a godly portion of Tzatziki. Alas, this was not to be and I was handed a meager shot of sauce that was served in a plastic container (a la food court Greek food). I asked for extra before I even started to eat and the server informed me it would be $1 extra for another very small Tzatziki. I looked at him funny and his response was - "I don't make the rules I only work here." It was definitely only enjoyable because of how hungry I was, not because any time or effort was put into this meal. I'd recommend you look elsewhere unless they turn things around. Eatcrest Out! read more

Loui's Kouzina - large Gyro Plate - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I agree with other reviews that suggest this is one of the best options for Greek food in Markham, but that does not mean it's good Greek food. Loui's Kouzina is not comparable to some of the great restaurants on the Danforth. My husband still really enjoys the food at this restaurant but I have disliked it for the past 3 years. The food is average. I wanted to avoid the overcooked souvlaki so I recently ordered the grilled calamari, it was dissapointing. It was terribly overseasoned with what tasted like packaged, MSG filled, "all dressed" red pepper seasoning. My rice was swimming in olive oil and the salad was comparable to a Greek takeout in a mall food court. The service was terrible. Our main server was so rude, but the person who gave us our bill at the end was far more pleasant. Before leaving the restaurant, I spoke to the main server and expressed my disappointment with her unfriendly service. She seemed to be either surprised that someone thought she was unfriendly, or surprised that someone actually acknowledged what she already knew. read more

Still stuffed from our lunch at Loui's Kouzina as I write this quick review. Delectable Greek food in Markham, yum...yum...yum...oh absolutely! Wonderful food. The pita bread came hot from the oven - oh that was so right with the refreshing dips, The Trio. Redefined our taste and love for Gyro and Moussaka - truly mouthwatering and flavoursome. Roasted Potato siding for my Souvlaki was a treat as it melted in my mouth with a sweet ending. The rice my husband got for his Souvlaki was a signature. The meat were a little dry, though. The Baklava a good finish. On the downside, the kids meal was dry, i.e. just a skewer of meat on a bed of fries wasn't exactly appetizing. Had to scoop up some pita dips to make it more delectable. Its a small place but truly an outstanding casual dining perfect for my family. Seen a lot of corporate lunch groups who seem to have an equally good time. Servers were great - approachable and efficient, no need for pen & pencil taking our orders. Satisfied our tummy and expectations for a better Greek experience. We're coming back for more! read more

In the past week, 2 of my close girlfriends have mentioned a 'Greek' place at 16th and Woodbine. I had no idea there was on there but upon arriving, I already got good vibes. I've noticed the sign before but never bothered to try it. I should really venture out of my comfort eating zone more often... We were greeted immediately after walking in, with smiles and sincerity. Our server (wish I had gotten her name because she was really friendly and helpful), was prompt in taking our drink order. I inquired about the Greek coffee and she was very knowledgeable in her explanation. I absolutely loved the coffee :) My friend and I ordered a chicken souvlaki plate and gyros plate. I asked if they could put mine in a wrap instead of getting rice, and maybe get some veggies on the side. I told her i'd pay extra but she was super nice about it and said no problem at all. Then she recited our orders back to us! It rarely happens anymore, not even in larger corporate restaurants. (I am a server myself....). While waiting for our entrees, we saw our server flame up some cheese.. Two tables had ordered it and we were curious to try, so we ordered it too! It was Saganaki - pan fried kefalotiri cheese. It was delicious! Kind of reminded me of baked Brie. Our mains arrived shortly after and by this point we were already half stuffed from the Saganaki. We managed to do quite some damage still. My gyros pita was flavorful and not too saucy. The gyros meat was tender and not dry - really important. Portion sizes are generous for the price. I am definitely coming back! It is a gem and I'm lucky it's so close to my dwelling! read more

I was recommended this place by an actual Greek person, so I had to check it out. Went for dinner with my wife and we had the flaming saganaki for appetizer, it was good, nice crisp edges. My wife had the gyro dinner and it was great, very flavourful with some nice steamed veg on the side. I had the lamb shanks and I'm not sure why they serve it with a steak knife as it was fall of the bone tender. I picked it apart with mainly my fork. The flavour was great, as good as the lamb shank I had in Mykonos. read more

Loui's Kouzina - lamb shanks & large gyro - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Overall 3.5 stars. Surprise find, especially in this neighbourhood. Lou's is much bigger inside than its exterior suggests. We ordered a chicken souvlaki and a lamb souvlaki dinner. Both came with bread, salad and 2 sides of your choice. Both souvlaki were tender and flavourful. The funny thing was I right away compared the chicken souvlaki with Zet's chicken souvlaki. It was just a reflex thinking. Regret to say Zet's tastes better. I never have lamb souvlaki at Zet's, so I can't make a comparison. The salad had too much dressing. The dressing drown the salad to the point that the flavour was overpowering. The kitchen could do this fresh vegetable justice by using less dressing. Kindly note that we got Greek salad without paying an extra $1 for an upgrade. I wasn't sure if they automatically gave out Greek salad, in that case you should never pay the upgrade fee, or if we were lucky. Services was friendly, to the point, but nothing more. It might be because this was a lunch meal. I really like that Loui's is here to offer an alternative dining option. I'd love to visit for dinner. read more

I have been coming to this place for years for Greek food. I'm not too sure with the authenticity given the limited Greek options in Markham, but I've never been disappointed eating here. They've gotten a lot busier, so on Saturday nights, there were times I have to wait around 10-15mins for a table. Service is standard to below average, but nothing stands out as horrible. Just not as attentive as you might like. I love their souvlaki, especially the pork. The greek salad is nice, lots and lots of feta! The side potatoes taste odd to me, since they are just boiled with sauce over it so I prefer the pilaf/fries. I also love their calamari, both grilled and fried. read more

Lovely food and portion size! Their rice had a good amount of vinegar so it helped with the heaviness of the food. Lamb shank was stellar when I first went... But portions got smaller last time.

Came here on Father's Day thinking it would less busy and also had a hankering for Greek food. Got here around 1pm and only two large tables were seated for Father's Day lunch. The place is not too big but not small either. Got seated right away by the window which was nice. First impressions were clean and bright and we'll maintained. Liked the way the menu was set up with tabs for different stuff (apps, main, drinks, etc) For appetizers we ordered the grilled calamari and saganaki. Saganaki was very very good. It had very good flavor, soft and stringy. Grilled calamari was also very good. Tender and flavourful. Won't be ordered fried anymore! And I like to fry everything! For mains we ordered the chicken soulvaki and lamb shanks. The chicken was moist and tender not like most times where it is dry. The lamb shanks were very tender and had a nice flavour to it. You could still taste the lamb without overpowering spices. The food came quickly and the service was excellent. This will be my Greek joint in Markham/RH. read more

This is a small restaurant with a casual atmosphere. The restaurant is cool in temperature, so dress accordingly. The service was fast and efficient. Our server was abrupt and to the point. Very informal in the way he served. There is a good variety of food choices on the menu. I had the small chicken souvlaki dinner. The serving size is substantial and the prices are very reasonable. The chicken was moist and the flavor was OK. Overall good enough. The others on my table had the gyro dinner and the chicken souvlaki on bun. Both enjoyed their meals. A good place for a family meal or to get your Greek fix. read more

Very tasty Greek food, hard to find in Markham. The staff are attentive and quick, especially at lunch time since its sooo busy. Reservations are a good idea if you can.

I came here for dinner with my family and the food was alright. We ordered 3 dishes, the pork souvlaki on pita and 2 small chicken souvlaki plates. The plates came with one side so we decided to order one side of rice and one side of fries. The portion size is really big and the atmosphere was welcoming. However, the quality of the food was not the greatest. I found that the chicken souvlaki was not tender enough and the fries were just average. To add on, the rice was basically packaged Uncle Ben rice. The pork souvlaki on pita was decent. I was hungry so it got the job done. What made this restaurant 3 stars was that the service was really good. As soon as we walked in the door the servers greeted us and they were always on top of things such as taking our order, asking us if we needed anything, getting us water etc. read more

Loui's Kouzina has a nicely decorated interior. Although the interior is nice, I came in for a gyro sandwich with my husband. The problem was that we paid around $28 for two gyros and a small Greek salad. The gyro was really dry with a generous meat but it was hard to swallow because it was dry. Also the server forgot our hot sauce and the salad had barely any dressing. I'm so surprised that the price is so high when I didn't even get a side with my gyro. In general prices were too high, I don't think I'm gonna come back again. read more

Loui's Kouzina is right around the corner from me and I've been meaning to try it for years after hearing many good things. I went in today and was fairly impressed with the place. I was attended to almost immediately after stepping into the restaurant, and brought a glass of water within a minute of sitting down. The menu is an appropriate size which made it easy to pick through. I'm not usually ever a fan of lamb, but I figured that if I was going to eat at a Greek restaurant I would have to try a traditionally prepared meal rather than your everyday souvlaki. I ordered the oven roasted lamb shank and waited no longer than two minutes before a salad topped with feta cheese arrived. Two minutes later garlic bread and five minutes after that the main course. I was very impressed with how quickly the food had arrived. The main dish consisted of roasted potatoes, rice and two pieces of lamb shank. The potatoes were good although nothing special, and the rice was nice and full. The lamb was well roasted and seasoned just the right amount. The meat was tender and practically fell off the bone. What I enjoyed most was the authenticity of the food. I truly felt as if it was Easter and that the chef was my yiayia! It didn't change my mind as I really just do not enjoy eating lamb meat regardless of how or where it is prepared, but it was a good meal either way. The ambience of the restaurant is a bonus, nice Greek music playing in the background and enjoyable pictures of Greece posted on the walls. read more
