I was craving grilled octopus so I checked out Main St Greek. I wasn't sure if it was sit down or takeout but was pleasantly surprised when I saw that they did both. The food was really great! If you sit down you get a basket of garlic bread which is nice and warm. The grilled octopus was $17 for just one tentacle and I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't ordered a side salad. The chicken souvlaki was very good and the potatoes were amazing, but apparently the rice tasted just like Uncle Ben's boxed mix which is disappointing for a nice restaurant. The service was also quite amazing, as the server was very attentive and kind. Although I didn't have any, the baklava looked phenomenal. My only recommendation would be adding descriptions of the dips/traditional dishes because I'm not sure what they were and had to google them. read more

Good food and excellent service. Staff were friendly and food arrived quickly. Restaurant is also bright and well kept.

Holy Hera!!! What a meal! I wasn't sure what to expect when I ventured into Main St Greek last week but the end result was absolutely worthy of the gods! Truth be told there are a lot of would-be greek restaurants in the 905 (cough cough... Mr. Greek) who are Greek only in branding but the food and experience fall flat. Having visited the islands of Greece as well as Athens, I can safely say I'm confident I can spot the real deal from afar. Main St Greek is as real as they get. From the simple design of the business, which reminds me of many restaurants I visited around Athens, to the hearty delicious portions to the staff who, after speaking with them I came to realise are ACTUALLY from Greece, and not just anywhere in Greece... Rhodes!!! We were just stopping in for lunch and while it's not as fancy as some downtown spots they're focused on executing the classic on a high level. We went for the Gyros (Yee-ros) me the pork, she the chicken and shared a Greek Salad. Meals came quick and man was they ever massive and authentic. Unlike many greek restaurants, the Gyros was actually shaved/chopped meat was taken right off the spit (instead of little thin slices) the pork had excellent crackling on it and was so juicy. The meat was loaded into the pita heavy and topped with my choices of toppings. The real authentic piece that sold me on the Gyros pita was seeing french fries mixed into the gyro and topping. Sounds weird but that's how they do it in Greece folks - and it's excellent. Salad and Tzatziki were also very well done. I really enjoyed my experience here at Main St Greek and I cannot wait to come back again soon to try out more of their menu Efcharistó (thank you) Eatcrest OUT! read more

Lamb chops are fabulous as are their souvlakis. All platters come with a generous portion of rice and potatoes. Great little hidden gem in Markham! read more

A favourite on Main St, this family-run Greek joint keeps the feta fresh and pork souvlaki tender. I always get the greek fries when I'm here - it has a unique zest to it that is just ouuf. Nothing here feels greasy or too heavy, there's definitely a balance of flavour and quality present in every item. Staff here are friendly and keep the glasses full and free bread coming. read more

Main St Greek - Greek Near Me - Markham, Ontario

The best Greek take out food in Markham. Main Street Greek has been my Covid go to take out place. Authentic and good quality food!

I was here with my family and brother over the long Thanksgiving weekend (Sunday night around 7pm). This restaurant opened it's doors in April 2016. We like Greek food and decided to give it a try. It's a restaurant with take out counter. It's clean and the staff is pretty friendly. They offered complimentary garlic bread to start....for our meal we ordered Chicken and Pork Souvlaki dinners, Greek Fries and Calamari. The food was very fresh and the portions are decent, except the calamari dish which i found to be abit small for the price. The dinners come with potato, rice and salad. The only thing I didn't like was the smell because it's an open concept kitchen so the food smell travels into the dining room. It was a bit smoky i found as more people came into the restaurant and the kitchen was busy cooking other meals. They close at 8pm on Sundays so get here early if you don't want to feel rushed. The server gave us our bill even though we didn't ask for it. We took our time and didn't pay for it right away because I was waiting for my son to finish his meal. There is street parking available (at no cost). It's a nice location and you can stroll along old main street Markham after filling your bellies. We would come back again the next time we want Greek. read more

Probably one of the best Greek restaurants that I've been too. Ordered the grilled octopus, chicken gyro wrap, chicken souvlaski dinner, and baklava. They also served bread with our meal. Not just regular bread with butter but toasted garlic bread! Thevoctopus wasn't chewy, as it usually is, and didn't have a fishy taste which I personally like. The wrap was huge and the chicken in both dishes were cooked perfectly. All the dishes were reasonably priced as our bill came up $40. Would've definitely come back again read more

Main St Greek - Delicious baklava! - Greek Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I've not had true Greek food before, and Main St. Greek has set the bar super high. As we were driving down Main Street Markham, we spotted this little store front for "authentic" Greek food. Not sure what I was expecting, we walked in, and we were greeted by cute blue and white decor. It spoke Greek loudly, but in the classiest and simplest way. We ordered a Greek salad and I had the chicken gyros and my buddy had the pork version. It came in a timely manner and we had some of the loveliest service I've had in a while. I believe it was a family run business and the woman was actually Greek and the whole experience was genuine. Unbeknownst to me, the fries actually came INSIDE the gyro, which Kris told me was the authentic way. Interesting. He let me have a bite of his pork, which I have to say topped my chicken. It was incredibly juicy and was roasted on the spit which you can see from your seat. If I came again: pork over chicken. I found my chicken a taaad dry, which is why I'm knocking it down 0.5. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and I would come back again if I was ever in the area. It definitely felt authentic and the service was amazing. 4.5/5. read more

I have gotten takeout over 7 times now and the food quality gets worse every time with last week's order being the last time. I have always ordered the same meal; two gyro dinners (one chicken and one pork, though they seem to run out of pork quite frequently so I double up on the chicken or get souvlaki.) The rice has gone from light and fluffy to heavy and mushy. The gyro (more a shawarma to the rest of Toronto) has become dry and needs a lot more seasoning. One plus are the potatoes which are tasty and, for some reason, have always been firm. Service is consistently friendly and courteous. I hope that the quality of food improves as I used to love coming here. read more

Went here looking for a new spot and read great reviews here. Went of pick up and ordered chicken souvlaki dinner and chicken gyro. Found the food was very bland. Not enough salt, lemon, garlic in either of the dishes. We were disappointed b/c the food looked really good but the flavour just wasn't there. Also the quality of the chicken in the gyro was subpar. Dried out chicken thigh pieces. We won't be going back :( read more

For the sake of full disclosure, I typically don't care from Greek food. Maybe it's just because I've been hustled by friends with questionable tastes into sub par experiences. Whatever the case may be, my hopes were not super high when walking into Main St. Greek. I was in a rush to get some quick lunch, so I stuck with a standard and ordered a chicken gyro. ("Euro"? "Giro"? Whatever floats your boat.) After a short wait, I was pleasantly surprised with how deeply satisfying this gyro was. It's served on thick pita bread, spread with a healthy amount of tzatziki, sprinkled with diced tomatoes and onions, and heaping with chicken and fries. Though the ingredients seem pretty simple, it started to nudge my emotions a bit with the flavourful, yet still mild tzatziki. (I've been bored by simply mild tzatziki way too many times before.) I have to thank the guys at Main St. for the borderline unreasonable amount of chicken that they pack in this guy. They're fighting the good fight against skimpy meat portions. Bless them. Aside from the food, the decor of the restaurant is really nice to look at. There are large windows bordering much of the space, and the decor in general has a simple, clean feel. I'd be happy to come back and see how much I enjoy the rest of their menu. read more

Main St Greek - Chicken Gyro: Pita, tzatziki, onion, tomatoes, fries, chicken - Greek Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This place is amazing!!! If I'm looking for good Greek food I usually would drive down on the danforth and take my pick... about 3 weeks ago I decided to give this place a try and have been back 4 times since! Chicken beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection. Calamari lightly breaded and deep fried to get that amazing crunch. Fairly priced and located right in the heart of Main Street Markham, the setting just adds to the richness of flavours ! Chicken gyro in a pita will not disappoint you! read more

Situated on Main Street markham in a newly built building amongst other shops, this place is in a prime location. Fairly new, I have pasted by here on several occasions without popping in to try it. So tonight, for dinner, I decided to give it a go. For an appetizer, I wanted to order a spinach dip, but was told that it was served cold. So I passed on that and ordered a chicken souvlaki dinner. My SO ordered the chicken gyro. My meal started with a salad and some bread. Salad was okay, toppings just placed on top of the salad in a plate. With some stale bread on the side. On to the meal, which came with potatoes and rice.. the serving size was tiny. Couple potatoes and a scoop and a half of rice. Literally. 5-6 pieces of chicken. For the price, you get ALOT more at Loui's Kouzina. So I wasn't impressed at all. In regards to the foods overall taste, it was decent. Potatoes weren't bathed in tomatoe sauce but rather in lemon. The rice was thick and heavy. The chicken also good and cooked perfectly, but again for the price. Better can be had. Overall.. I'd come back, simply for the food. But since the price is equal to that of other Greek places I frequent, i probably won't be back as more "bang for buck" can be had elsewhere. read more

A much needed addition to an area littered with Italian restaurants. The place has a nice decor and is spotless. Most importantly the food here is spectacular. It has authentic Greek dishes like moussaka and grilled octopus, both of which are incredible. Gyros and souvlaki on a pita both have fries stuffed in them which is how it should be. You rarely find this in supposed Greek restaurants, so it's nice to see someone finally doing it. What I'm most impressed by is that they actually use pork tenderloin for their souvlaki, most places use some disgusting throw away pork product from their food source and have the nerve to sell a fatty inedible piece of meat. Service is very friendly, price and portion are perfect. Keep it up. read more

Some context before you read on: I've had my fair share of Greek fare from around the world and a lot homemade from my Mom. Came here ravenous and expected something to be on par with Loui's Kouzina, but left with major disappointment. Ordered the pork gyro main ($14) and the chicken souvlaki main ($15). Take out portions were pretty small (lots of empty space in the aluminum containers) and the salad literally consisted of 75% ice burg lettuce, 1/4 of a small tomato, couple of slices of green bell peppers, a small sprinkling of feta, and a meager addition of olives. The potatoes were good, but not special in any sort. The pork gyro is something you'd expect from Jimmy the Greek, but wasn't seasoned very well. The chicken souvlaki, on the other hand, was delicious, but I do think serving sizes could be improved for this price point. Rice was really good as well (much better than Loui's) and the salad was alright (mall food is about the same quality). All in all, I think the flavour's there somewhat, but the prices could be reduced to make up for "smaller" serving size. Their salad is a bit pitiful. Don't think I'll be returning... read more

Best chicken gyros I have had in Toronto let alone markham. Greek fries would have been better if the fries were not under cooked but thats an easy fix. The spanakopita was so good read more

This place is a solid 4. We ordered pork gyro in a pita ($6) and my dad, chicken in a pita ($7). We also added a side of fries for $3. The food portions were generous and proportion of meat in the gyro was awesome. The fries were really good - simple but crispy. My only feedback about the pork gyro is that it was more greasy than I'd like. I wasn't impressed with the price of a can of pop which was $2 so stuck with the water. The place itself wasn't busy and got a seat right away. It was clean and service attentive. I love the location just along Main St Markham. I'll definitely be back. I hope this place keeps up with the good service and generous portions - if so, I'm sure I'll become a regular! read more

After what seemed like ages, this place finally opened. Located on Main St in Markham, parking is typically not too difficult to come by. The place was filled when we came in to order takeout. I opted for the roasted lamb dinner and my partner, the chicken souvlaki dinner. Not wanting the starch heavy meal combos of potatoes AND rice, we inquired if we could substitute the potatoes and the rice for side salad instead. We are told that we can do this for a charge of four dollars each. Hmmmm. We don't want the potatoes or rice and are charged for that in the cost of the dinner 'combo' but have to pay an extra four dollars apiece for salad. Worth mentioning is that this 'salad' consists merely of chopped iceberg lettuce, slightly browning, red onion, equivalent of quarter tomato and one olive with a very seemingly hesitant sprinkling of feta atop. The food was ok. Nothing remarkable. We won't return as $54 dollars was ridiculous for the amount/quality of food we received. read more

Excellent experience here when I went the other day with my friend. The server was super nice and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing. We started with he Greek salad and it was absolutely fresh with good quality ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, and big pieces of feta cheese that was to die for. We had the Greek fries which were done to perfection again the Feta cheese is what makes all the difference in the world. We ordered the pork gyro and it was flavourful and absolutely worth trying. It was an absolutely amazing experience and would have no hesitation in going back. read more

Greek souvlaki dinner is a huge portion and even comes with break. Their order of calamari is a bit small. Food is tasty.

The meat here is pretty good (I.e. the chicken souvlaki, the gyro) but the rice and potatoes are pretty bland. Overall, I would say it's just okay. read more

Glad to see a great quality Greek restaurant open up near my house. I had the chicken souvlaki wrap and it was delicious. The portion size was generous and the price reasonable. A great addition to Main St. Markham. read more

Great Greek restaurant located in downtown Markham. We went to Main St Greek for dinner with family on a Sunday evening. We ordered a few appetizers for the table to share to start. We had ordered the Grilled Octopus, Dip Trio (hummus, melitzanasalata, taramisalata) served with warm pita chips and the Saganaki. All three were real good. The Octopus was a little to small to share amongst the entire table but was really good. The dips were very hearty and fresh and the Saganaki which was flambed at table side was excellent. For my main I decided to go with the Lamb Chops. The main included a Greek Salad and was served with rice and potatoes. The Lamb Chops were marinated and charbroiled very nicely. They were excellent. The salad was nice and fresh and both the rice and potatoes seasoned well and were nice compliment. There was absolutely no room left for Baklava dessert. Maybe next time. Overall the experience was quite nice. The service was very friendly and extremely fast. Nice simple cozy atmosphere. If your ever in the mood for Greek give Main St Greek a try. read more

Decided to drop by to pick up a chicken gyro. It is a nice clean restaurant. The staff was friendly and it did not take long for the gyro to be ready. The price was also reasonable. I had take out and the food smelled great all the way home. Every bite tasted delicious and the chicken was well cooked. Would like to go back and eat in next time. read more

I've walked by this place a few times and have thought to myself that I need to come back to try the place out but didn't have a chance to until this week. It did not disappoint! I love the feel - fairly casual, great lighting, just love the atmosphere. Great for a chill dinner (we were on a double date with a close friend). Food was great. I had the pork souvlaki dinner and substituted the rice for grilled veggies - great idea because the rice would have been way too heavy. My boyfriend had the chicken gyros wrap and was still talking about it the next day, which never happens. They have a beer called 'Fix' which was really good. The waitress was great - attentive and my friend wanted to know what something looked like so the waitress pulled up a Google Image on her phone. Never had someone do that before. Highly recommend this new hot spot! read more

Main St Greek - Pork Souvlaki dinner. Substituted the rice for grilled veggies...delicious! Best pork souvlaki I've had in a long time - perfectly cooked. - Greek Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I give 3 and 1/2 stars fir this restaurant. The service is great and waitress were friendly. The saganaki was very good. The souvlaki pork was very tender. The oven roasted lamb was dry and not tasty. The atmosphere was too bright for my taste. Other wise it's a good restaurant. read more

Ok if you read my reviews I don't hand out a lot of 5 stars. So this is a must read. So this date night and we're out for Greek. Found this little gem on Main Street. Not much to look at. Looks like a Greek diner. Self seating. Super friendly staff hands you a menu. (1st star) Ordering takes place again very helpful staff. Food comes out uber fast (2nd star). We ordered a large Greek salad ($10), extra kalamata olives($5), a pork gyro($6) and a grilled octopus($15). Ok prices seemed fair. Until I actually saw the grilled octopus. It was 1 tentacle. I was like WTF I'm paying $15 for 1 tentacle of an octopus? Most places give you a whole small octopus for that price! Then I took a bite. OMG I was back in Mykonos and all of the Greek isles! (3 stars for the food, while I'll admit 2 of 3 was for that tentacle) I decided I'm totally willing to pay the price for that mouth watering, tender, fresh piece of octopus. I'm definitely going back if nothing for that tentacle alone! read more

Food is fresh and made from scratch. You can tell from tasting it. We've gone here now 4 times and every time service is quick. Food is tasty. This Greek place is s welcome break from what it seems like only Italian places on Markham main street. The dips are all delicious. Chicken souvlaki is good. And not just chicken on a stick. Clearly marinated and nice and juicy. Salads are fresh and simple. Good dressing. Nothing fancy here. Just good simple Greek food. read more

Wow!! Some of the best Greek food I've had in a long time. Much better than the Danforth. Food was very fresh, hot and seasoned well. We will be back many times as it's great value for the price and the overall quality is awesome. Congratulations to the owners and staff on a job well done. read more

Big dinner portions...Can never finish it. I normally get the chicken souvlaki and hubby gets the gyro. Their potatoes are seasoned so nicely! And for appetizers, I love getting the calamari. So fresh and so good with lemon and their tzatziki. Friendly service as well! read more

This place is small and cozy, there decoration is beautiful. There chicken souvlaki is moist, and there salad is DELICIOUS. Though, the potatoes were decent and the rice was good. Usually the rice in several Greek restaurants I've been to compared to fast food Greek is that there's no vegetables like carrots and peas. But overall, really good. Wished they still had the loukoumades. Really good service too! read more

We purchased several pork gyros December 26th, 2020 after work The several pork gyros purchased was burnt and dry. I got sick with runs after eating it and the after taste lasted a long time. I guess they do not care about making their customers sick. This will be the last time I go to eat at that restaurant. Their quality food has since declined. read more

I have come here for dinner / lunch take out 4 weeks in a row! Today, it's my first try for their lunch take out. I ordered a chicken gyros on a pita and a chicken souvlaki on a pita! They were soooo filling with loads of chicken gyros / one stick of chicken souvlaki, plus a healthy serving of tzatziki sauce, moderate sized tomato and onion chunks, a few fries wrapped in the pitas! It's very reasonably priced for its quantity and quality! As for dinners, I had tried the pork and chicken gyros and pork and chicken souvlaki before, so far, I find that pork usually tasted drier and more chewy. The rice and potatoes that came with the dinner plates are always so delicious and flavourful, it's like a bit of heavenly sourness and savoury! I usually skipped the greek salad that came with the dinner plates, and substituted that with grilled vegetables, it's well worth the extra dollar or so! May be because it was take out, the calamari sat in a puddle of oil at the bottom of the container both times I ordered though! read more

We ordered from here for our Christmas dinner (first time trying this place!) . They were super nice and patiently answered all my questions, greeted us cheerfully when we picked up, and carefully made sure our large order was complete. Service was great. On top of that the meal was delicious! I had the chicken souvlaki and found that the meat was nicely grilled and not dried out. Tender and tasty. Rice and potatoes were flavourful. Everyone at our dinner was pleased with their meals and we all finished happy and full (with leftovers too!). Would totally go back. Thank you, Main Street Greek for a wonderful meal and experience! read more

The pork souvlaki in the pita sandwich was moist. I can see myself craving the sandwich later on... the fries inside the sandwich made it even more appealing. My husband had the lemon chicken soup. Refreshing yet comforting. Very friendly service and cute interior. I can imagine this place would be a nice casual date spot especially with the gelato place across the street. read more

Easily my favorite Greek place in and out of Danforth. Had the calamari. It was so perfectly tender... the little squid didn't resist at all as my teeth went through it... They damn near said "eaaaattt meeee"... but like... less creepy... The chicken Souvlaki was so juicy. Seriously, I hate over cooked chicken which is found way too often with Souvlaki. But these little babies are so damn juicy inside. Seriously Juicy pieces hugged in a nice brown exterior with only touches char. Yeah, I said hugged... cuz something this good gotta be made with love. amirite? The potatoes were so creamy. The rice was nice and flavourful. The salad were well balanced... not too sour... and no shortage of cheese. The place was bright and clean. The staff were stars. The plates on the wall were lovely and, not to mention, a nice conversation starter with my 3 yr old daughter. "Daddy? Why are there plates on the walls?" "ummmm..." read more
