    Chicken Breast Dinner
    Joseph S.

    Fresh. That's the word I'm going to use to summarize the food here. It tastes amazingly fresh. Come early or order ahead if you're going for lunch, as the line-ups can get pretty wild. Got to try the chicken breast dinner and it was fantastic. It was grilled perfectly, and is served with salad, rice, potatoes, tzatziki, and a small slice of pita bread. Come hungry, as the portion is more than enough to fill you up and leave you very satisfied. It's a place that's certainly off the beaten path (most people only know about it because they work close by), but once you try it, you'll be making the detour here every time. Check out @foodpharaoh on Instagram for more food!

    Greek salad with grilled chicken
    Una W.

    Yummy grilled chicken, pita and greek salad! I visited Plaka with a colleague on a snowstorm day for a quick lunch. The small dinner was full and the line was long, but the scent of grilled chicken and dough convinced me that the food worth the wait. It turned out better than I expected! Although we waited for about 15 minutes, I absolutely adore my greek salad with grilled chicken. A large, thick piece of chicken breast was grilled to perfection and served after being diced. Each piece was mouth-watering. The pita was warm and soft, and the veggies in the salad are very fresh and crunchy. The dressing was also very tasty and paired well. This place is more of a self-serve style dinner and the seats were not comfortable. Nonetheless, I found the price very reasonable for a salad that is decent enough for an adult's lunch. I will surely return very soon.

    I come here for lunch as it's close to my office. It's always busy, so expect a line up. They are usually pretty fast considering how busy it is. Food is really tasty as well. Meals are usually around $10 before tax.

I have ordered food from George's Greek Grill quite a few times just never had a chance to write a review. I love Greek food and order from Greek restaurants very often. George's Greek Grill is one of my favorite places. The portions are great. The meat of seasoned perfectly. In my opinion George's has the best Greek potatoes around. I can eat just a bowl of potatoes by them selves with nothing else. If you are looking for great tasting Greek food. Great service. Local take out vibe and all around great dining experience check out George's Greek Grill.

The restaurant seating area itself is tiny and would be better to take out food if you're planning to buy food for more than 2 people. We got 2 orders of the Greek Grill Chicken, 1 order of the Chicken Delight, and 1 order of the Gyro. I thought I wouldn't be full after eating just a pita, but all three of these pita's were huge and stuffed with the meat and toppings. They are very generous on portion sizes! We also got a side of fries and onion rings (highly recommend - they are crispy and salty!). The flavours were great and I am definitely going to come back.

    Went with a friend and we both ordered the same dish, unfortunately, it was not freshly made. The…read morechicken and rice were bland and completely unseasoned, though the potatoes were decent. It was obvious the chicken had been precooked and reheated. We mentioned this to the waiter, who seemed irritated by our feedback but eventually took the dishes back and had them redone. The salad was okay but could've used a better dressing. We were both disappointed, especially since we used to be longtime customers. Sadly, this experience sealed the deal, we won't be returning! Honestly, it doesn't come as a surprise. Even during the pandemic, their takeout was overpriced and subpar. They've changed the place and unfortunately, not for the better. Service isn't great either.

    Mediocre all around. Started with the PIKILIA (assorted appetizer platter): the dips were tasty,…read moregiant beans were creamy but bland, spanakotiropita was crisp but also bland, feta was delicious. MIDIA (mussels) were old and funky tasting and 5 or 6 of them were closed, so clearly dead before cooking. Only ate about half. But the sauce was lovely - low acid tomato sauce, slightly sweet and bright with a squeeze of fresh lemon amd sprinkle of feta. If the mussels had only been fresh it would have been a great dish. SAGANAKI (pan seared sheep's cheese) was the star of the night. Brought to the table hot and sizzling in the pan, with a fresh squeeze of lemon it was salty, crispy, chewy, and delicious! If I ever come back, I'll just order this with a glass of wine and be done. PATZARIA ME SKORTHO (sautéed beets with tzatziki) was nice but I think the beets were boiled or steamed, not sautéed. If they had been sautéed or roasted, it would have been a lot better. Also, the presentation was sloppy. As noted in other reviews, the service was extremely slow. We had to ask several times for more drinks (wine and water). The staff seemed overwhelmed and inexperienced, except the head waiter who was trying to be everywhere while also directing the rest of the serving team who all seemed confused and out of their depth. Decor was nice - clean white walls. Overall a mediocre experience. Food was ok, service was slow. Might stop in for the saganaki & wine again but not for dinner.

    I decided to try something new through the Ritual app. The wait was a bit long for an early lunch…read more And once I picked up the food, it appeared I was their only customers. The inside didn't look that nice and the place looked old. The souvlaki dinner plate came with chicken, salad, rice, potatoes, three cold pita bread slices and tzatziki sauce. Minus one point as the chicken was dry even though they were large pieces. It wasn't even hot - I thought it was cooked-to-order. The portion of the salad was half the container and it had shredded feta cheese that I've never had before. Usually it's crumbled feta cheese. They followed instructions were all sauces were put to the side. Oh, the tzatziki sauce was really good. If it's homemade, kudos to them. I could use a lot more on the dry chicken and the tender rice. The three potato pieces were another hit. One bite wasn't enough. I wish they gave me more. Overall, I believe there aren't many Greek places around this neighbourhood, so if you are craving Greek, like I was then it's ok. It's a bit pricey. Would I go back? Not sure. Maybe try their gyro wrap as it looks good on other Yelpers' photos. Tried a new takeout place through this crazy pandemic. Sorry ate before taking photos.

I came around 12:30 on a Monday afternoon and the place had about 10 people inside. One large group and just a couple of patrons waiting in line so not busy at all considering its the lunch hour. I ordered a chicken souvlaki on a pita and it was ready to go in less than 3 minutes. The food was delicious! Quite a big portion and stuffed with juicy chicken, fresh fries, onion, lettuce, tzaziki and tomatoes. It was so fresh and flavourful I couldn't even believe this place ever got bad reviews. I love the addition of the fries too, they really make a difference to your pita! I paid $13 for a chicken souvlaki on a pita and a diet coke. Considering this is about 2 small meals for me I don't mind the price at all. I'd like to try the baklava in addition to my next order :)

While in line, someone suggested the souvlaki and I was already aiming to get a gyro so I knew we were gonna be good. Parking was busy but not impossible to find here. It's fast casual. You can get food, some extra desserts and drinks/coffee and extra pita/flatbread or tzatziki sauce. I got a gyro and a "small" poutine. Let me just say that I've had a LOT of gyros and this one was by far the best. Tons of meat, toppings, just enough tzatziki that I didn't want to order an extra side (still should've). The poutine was enough to feed a family of four. Holy smokes this was spectacular. I'd have gotten extra gravy bc it's so much tastier here in Canada than anyplace in the USA. Family owned, this is a great place to come alone or with friends. You can eat something different every single time and it's just so delicious. I will be back. My goal is to try more stuff every time I'm here but the gyro was perfection so who knows? Support small owned businesses!

This was one of the only places a guy that I was seeing when I was in my early twenties and I would go, late at night, when we knew we wouldn't catch anyone else we knew out. The food was predictable, always - and not in a bad way - it just hit the spot after a night of drinking, or when you are hungover. The salad will forever have too much dressing and will be the unhealthiest thing but the souvlaki here was honestly the most shocking thing. Mind you I have not been in six and a half or seven years so don't take my word for it, but for a place to be around this long and still have loyal customers - they're really doing something right, it's not just sheer luck so give it a go! There is zero ambiance or date night feel here, okay. Don't take your girl unless you've been married over ten years. It's boys or girls night out material only. haha

For my appetizer, I got a green salad which had a nice dressing to it, tiny tomatoes, and tiny cut up figs. I would have liked bigger pieces of figs (if you are going to include it in the menu). For the main dish, I got rainbow trout which came out smaller than I imagined. It should be cooked well since it was a thin piece too. The spinach rice was a nice side and the salad had a nice colour to the overall dish. My partner's short ribs were not tender and it was hard to chew on. He said the meat didn't fall off the bone. For dessert, the walnut cake was moist, however the pistachio ice cream looked and tasted fake. Service was pretty good. The washroom at the back, near the kitchen was clean.

It's not the biggest space but there's ample seating inside. The menu has a lot of the Greek classics/staples and having tried the Port Credit location previously, I fairly knew what to expected. We started out with Saganaki, fried calamari, and dolmades. Everything was cooked well and made to order and good flavour overall. For the main, ended up splitting the stix platter for 2 among 4 people. Thankfully we did the split since it was such a big portion that was more than enough for all of us. It also gave us an opportunity to try all the different skewers on offer and the lamb was the highlight for me with the sausage being the biggest surprise. Overall about what you'd expect, good Greek food, good portions, good service.
