Lunch menu side salad was supposed to be a Greek salad but wasn't really as it had a lettuce base. It was good: fresh & simple with flavourful dressing. Pita was fluffy & flavourful: warm, with some crispness. It was good enough to eat on its own. Potatoes were pretty good with an above average flavour which penetrated into the centre. Rice was decent. Gyro was tasty, pretty moist & a very generous portion. Tzatziki was extremely thick & creamy & tasted decent. read more

I stopped by for lunch after some recommendations from random strangers in a store. They cited this as the spot I needed to have lunch at since I needed help as an out of town visitor. The 'village' Greek salad was fabulous and my chicken souvlaki came with awesome potatoes and broccoli. They were flexible in allowing me to sub in for rice and the taste was great. It was visually appealing and the atmosphere was also very nice. I'll be back for sure and would recommend this to others. read more

As a couple passing through on our way to Niagara Falls, we wanted a light bite, Food was delicious, restaurant was empty 2:30pm. Ordered the gyro dinner and a 3 dip platter to share. Serving was generous and sufficient for the price, brought the leftovers for later. A lil feedback, fix the fly issue. Having to swat three flies away continually during your meal while sitting inside is not how I wanted to grab a snack, this afternoon. Most importantly, sprinkle a wee bit more hospitality in to your service. To walk in to an empty restaurant one would expect the staff to be happy and engaged to build a relationship, and develop a connection not just a transaction. read more

Wow, it's my first time here but i must say the chicken souvlaki, gyros, Greek salad, spanokopita pita and potatoes were the best i ever had. They also have a great 0% alcohol Greek beer. The food was plentiful and was very fillling. I would've liked more of their greek salad and wish it came with our meals instead of served before the entrees. Think this is the best greek food at a restaurant i had in town and Toronto. Service was very good and our server was friendly however made an error on my meal. However, she quickly fixed the error without taking too much time. We lucked out and didn't need to have a reservation and dine in. The ambiance was very nice and peaceful for a fancier greek restaurant. So nice for a Valentine's Day meal. It was a very nicely designed and beautiful European style restaurant. HOWEVER, that was short-lived because in came a family of 5 (2 parents with 3 little girls probably triplets aged 3 were seated literally right beside us.) We were seated in the very back and had a nice private corner to ourselves. The father turned to us to say "Sorry it isn't going to be quiet anymore." He wasn't kidding because the kids were rambunctious, loud and out of control. The parents didn't do a thing. Neither did the restaurant staff and thus this really upset my dh and i. Imho, we were there first and isn't fair to us that we had to dine with this family beside us. It was so not nice anymore. *Side note* The restrooms were clean but temperature wise it felt so cold almost like a meat freezer. read more

I came here for a holiday lunch with a client, at their recommendation. I do love Greek food, so I was excited to check this place out. Walking in to the restaurant, it was MASSIVE and beautiful, almost felt like a banquet hall. There was ample seating inside and can accommodate huge groups. The menu has all the usual Greek fare that you would expect. We started with the Saganaki which was GREAT - but it doesn't come standard with a pita/bread. I thought that was strange? How are you supposed to eat it without a bread vessel? You'd have to order it on the side I suppose...my meal came with side pitas thankfully, so they were brought out early. I got the "small" pork souvlaki plate..if that was a small, I'm very curious about the large. I went there 2 days ago, and I'm still full! Haha, but really...I got 3 huge skewers of pork souvlaki, a healthy serving of rice, a couple potatoes, and a small Greek salad. I couldn't finish the meal, but I tried my best because it was very tasty and I didn't want anything to go to waste! Tip: Definitely order a 2nd (or 3rd) Tzatziki! You really get good bang for your buck. Service was super friendly, no complaints there. Great place to pick for lunch when you're tired of the chains! read more

You would guess it but this place has been around forever with their ease-of-menu and service and overall fair pricing for the amazing Greek cuisine they're cooking up. Full send. read more

Downgrading my review. The last time I ate here, food was overcooked and chewy; service was slow. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and the restaurant was busy; environment was noisy. Quality was not the same as my last visit. I'll try the restaurant one more time in the future and see what my next review will be. read more

December 18 dinner for 10 at 7pm. Overall the food tasted great with the exception of the rice which was not your typical Greek flavour so I only ate one spoonful. Others ate a little bit. We had 2 complaints; service was extremely slow and we had to ask other servers where Sonia our server was. We saw and heard her talking to other customers about some vacation abroad. When it came to desert we only wanted one cake for birthday lady but she wanted some extra forks so we could take a bite. Sonia brought 8 forks that were dirty with food from other customers. We brought this up to one of the other servers who promptly returned with clean forks asking who brought the dirty one when we told him. That was about sums it up. Very good food and poor service. No apology for the disgusting forks or the slow service. We will not return read more

June 2024 Standard Greek fare done very well. A good location just south of the QEW. Reasonable pricing, very good service and very good food. Unique platters available including steak and seafood. We will be back for sure. read more

We came here for an early dinner and actually walked in with some of the staff that were really nice! I noticed that on the door there was a sign that indicated they were closed on Monday nights during the summer. Sotiris is it's own restaurant and it's huge on the inside. It has a lot of pretty murals and features Greek architecture with lovely arches. It's a nice setting for a classy dinner. There weren't many other guests there at the time so they were very fast at taking our orders and the food came out super quick as well. The menu has all the Greek classics that you'd want like souvlaki and gyros. I was feeling vegetarian that day so I went with the spanakopita dinner. The dinner portions are pretty big. We ambitiously got the dip trio to start so that might have also explained why we didn't come close to finishing our mains which consist of an appetizer sized Greek salad, rice, and potatoes! My spanakopita seemed a bit on the toastier side but was still good with the tzatziki sauce. I had a bite of my friend's chicken souvlaki and was really pleased with how juicy it was. read more

Went here with friends on a Saturday and had a great time. Ordered the pork souvlaki and salad and it was outstanding. Service was really good and prices were reasonable. This is one big restaurant, with many tables inside and quite a few outside in their patio. A large bar inside as well. Highly recommended, especially for large groups. read more

After all these years the food is still awesome. I met my niece for lunch, they were fast and efficient and the pork on a pita was so incredible . When I get a Greek attack this is where I go read more

Very good Greek food!! You really get your money's worth when you eat here. I ordered the Bouzouki platter for 1 and it was amazing. For you meat lovers out there, I highly recommend this dish - it comes with gyros, sausage, lamb chop, and pork souvlaki - a good variety and amount of everything. You also get potatoes and rice as sides (you can substitute the rice for something else). I found I was full by the time I finished about half of the dish - leftovers for the next day! Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area - it's a little far from the GTA but definitely worth it. The restaurant is also really nice and fancy looking inside. read more

We had such a great time last night at Sotiris celebrating the birthday of a friend. All the food was fantastic and wonderfully authentic, our server Jordin was one of the best I've ever had (she handled our party of 10 with ease, and was helpful, sweet and professional from beginning to end), and the night was a complete success. Thanks! We will be back! read more

Sotiris Authentic Greek Cuisine - Chicken souvlaki dinner. So good! - Greek Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

We had a craving for Greek food on the way home, after doing a day of shopping. We just wanted some take out and have it at home, we stopped by this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised, the restaurant was very clean and looked authentically Greek decorated inside and out. The employees were very friendly and professional. Even though we didn't call our order in, it was fast between order and the order being ready. When we got home, we were pleased on the amount of food in each order as well as the taste, it was one of the best Gyro Dinner we have ever had. This is the first time we visited here, and it won't be our last. We definitely will return, next time we will dine in. read more

Sotiris Authentic Greek Cuisine - Greek Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

We were excited to go as we love greek food and are new-ish to the area! Really bad experience from the over-crowded doorway with confused hostesses where we waited ~5 minutes to even tell them we had a reservation. To the first very wobbly table and then moved to a grossly sticky table that even the menus where difficult to lift off. Then to the lack of service after waiting 10 minutes and seeing other tables getting welcome and served. The whole place felt dirty and overcrowded with little understanding of what social distancing meant. We ended up leaving after never being served so I have no comment on the food and wouldn't go back to try it, nor would I recommend it.. read more

This place delivers time in time out. Have been there many times and even had a rehearsal party there. My favorite waitress is Toni. She always takes time to come by and say hello. The food is excellent. Woukd recommend it to anyone who low Greek food. read more

Excellent food and service will be making this restaurant at least twice a month for our dinners

Food has been a bit underwhelming lately considering the price point as of late. Greek salads came without any olives and far too many onions and sandwiches were just ok. The fattoush salad from La Luna Express is way better for the cost and is loaded with veggies and even Montfort takes them easy in the salad dept. read more

Portion size was huge I hate about half and took the other half to go. The food was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed our meal. The decor was nice made us feel the Greece theme. Only complaint I had was it was a bit salty. Would definitely come back again great family restaurant. read more

Sotiris Authentic Greek Cuisine - Chicken Souvlaki Dinner - Greek Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

OOPPPPAAAA!!! Sotiris is the best Greek joint I have been to. its pricey and classy but I am so sold on the food!!! since I usually start with the atmosphere, I thought I would change it up. The food here is cooked to perfection, family owned you can taste the love and soul in this dishes. The portions are big so if you get full fast think about size and maybe sharing a platter. I usually settle for the chicken souvlaki platter however the last time I was here I had the steak and shrimp, and that was a game changer. my steak I took Medium rare and it was juicy and melted in my mouth, the shrimp was a great surf to the turf cooked with just the right amount of seasoning. next up the overall place, the restaurant is huge, like venue size big, with beautiful decor making you feel like you are actually in Greece, almost kind of like a museum type building, i absolutely loved the architecture of the place. I strongly recommend any to drive down and eat at Sotiris, believe me it is worth it. read more

Our lunch gang has been going to this place for lunch for years. Because we have been going so long and for the most part we usually get the same thing I can say that I've seen a difference in what we used to get and what we get now. The difference is basically just quantity but the quality has pretty much stayed consistent. Whether it's been 3 to 6 of us going at once they always have space to accommodate. This place has a very large dining area and a banquet hall type room on the left when you first come in. Once we had a company lunch here with about 25 people. Space is never really an issue here. At times that we've experienced over time, sometimes there is confusion as to who is taking care of our table as we've had to flag down somebody after being seated but overall for the most part I can say that the service is just fine. No complaints really about the service being slow or otherwise. Going to this place for lunch they have to serve quick and we have to be out of there after eating and paying and back to work within the hour. I can't say we've ever really been late coming out of Sotiris except maybe once over a span of a decade. The lunch menu offers smaller portions for less than the regular menu although you can still order off the regular menu at lunch if you really wanted to. My usual has always been the "small" gyro dinner which is the lunch sized portion. Originally this serving was anything but small... only once have I ever ordered the regular sized version of this and it was really a lot of food. I'm the kind of person that can eat a lot... definitely more than the average Canadian I'm guessing and yes this meal portion wise is very satisfying. They start you off with a basket of garlic bread which is the kind they probably butter and grill because it's nice and buttery and nicely toasted. Regardless of how they make it, it's good. With the lunch order you also get a side of greek salad that comes before the main dish. This is a decent starter... some prefer it to come with the meal but I like getting it first. The gyro plate comes with a small side of tzatziki, rice, potatoes and the gyro which is really good. I've had souvlaki and other things here in my time but really I like the gyro at this restaurant enough to make it my regular. The price for this lunch is 13 bucks plus tax and tip. Overall it's a nice sit down place that we go to every once in a while. The portions are still a decent size although I feel they have gotten smaller than what we used to get years ago and the service is good. Honestly I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews of this place considering myself and my gang never repeat places that have bad service, make us late or have bad food. This place is OK by our books as a group and OK by me as an individual... read more

My friends Marcel and Patrick had their daughter Arya's Baptism Reception at this restaurant. Nice, fancy, elegant atmosphere and I was ready to dig in on some Greek food. Our server was awesome. She gave the whole reception a breakdown of the full course menu. When she came around our table, she was engaging, had a sense of humour, really listened to your order and made us comfortable by ensuring she understood our food allergies. For appetizers, there was a pan grilled garlic bread, pita with hummus and greek salad. The garlic bread and hummus were SO good. It was tremendously garlicy and I could not get enough. The salad was okay, a bit on the sour side but I trucked through it even though I did not finish it. When my main entrée came, it was Chicken Souvlaki with roasted potatos and rice. The Chicken Souvlaki was really good. Excellent flavour, tender, juicy and tasty. It came in little cubes from a skewer and it was not dry which I was impressed with. Dipping it into the tzatziki was delicious. I loved every bite. The potatoes and rice were normal and they complemented the chicken. I was honoured and happy I attended the celebration. I do not know if I ever come back here because I live across the city but it was an excellent experience and proud to give it 4 outta 5! read more

I've ordered here for take out twice and went here for a sit-in dining experience with my workplace for a holiday party/get together. The food is pretty decent, however the service is lacking unfortunately. My consensus is pretty much the same as other yelp reviews - food is good, not great. Service is okay, venue is clean, warm and great for group gatherings. On service: The servers were friendly however we were seated for 30 minutes before we were able able to order, which really puzzled me because at dinner time on a weeknight the restaurant was not crowded at all. We had to ask different waiters to find our waiter for us. When we asked for refills on water, we had to remind the waiter. I'm not sure if this is because the place is understaffed or if the waiters are not circulating frequently enough and checking in on us. Once the order was put in however, the food came in a good, timely manner. When coming here you may have to expect a wait. On food: Appetizers - The appetizers were actually MORE delicious than the entrees. You MUST order the Saganaki OPA or Flaming kefalotyri cheese -its definitely a neat experience. The cheese if flavorful but share this with a large group as its also very salty. The garlic bread - delicious and given in good quantities, and calamari was yummy too. Entrees - were VERY generous and large in size, unless you eat a lot you will be taking some home. I ordered the small pork souvlaki dinner and I couldn't finish it in one sitting (came with three skewers). In terms of flavour and taste this is pretty good and better than your usual take out places (e.g. Jimmy the greek) but isn't the best, most flavourful I had. Seasonings on their souvlaki's were good, and its a very heavy meal but not greasy tasting at all. Overall a good experience, I would go again. read more

I had lunch there yesterday with some co-workers and clients. There were seven of us. I ordered the basic chicken fillet ($12.00), rice and potatoes. Most of the others ordered souvlaki. When their meals came, they were HUGE. HUGE! Great value for the $$. When mine came about ten minutes later (long after the others), the chicken breast, though hot and tasty, was very small. Kinda of a letdown considering the size of the others. The potatoes were good but the rice (pilaf) had a weird taste (I left most of it). The restaurant is HUGE ... there were maybe ten tables of people when we were there. Service was so-so. I had to ask for a second Diet Coke a couple of times. I'd go back if I was in the area but would avoid the rice and would order souvlaki instead. read more

My family and I went to Sotiris last friday night for an early dinner. We ordered 2 of their platters for 2, which happen to be a great deal! I really enjoyed their gyro meat and sausage while my family liked the rice and lamb. Plus it comes with garlic bread and salad. We stuffed ourselves and still had leftovers for the next day. The service though really leaves something to be desired. Very perfunctory and borderline rude. Not worth the drive for such service. read more

This was the first time I've ever been to this restaurant and also heard about it. Me being the only one from Cambridge, it was quite a drive up there, but let's see if it was worth it!! We came to this restaurant for a work party full of hungry contractors and let me tell you, we were not disappointed. I ordered the gyro which came with 3 sides. Rice, potatoes, and salad of your choice which you receive before your main dish (I got the large btw which is only $3 more than the small). Seems like a reasonable bargain to me. But hey, it was a work dinner which was paid for by the boss anyways. There was about 12 people attending this work dinner including myself and the place was absolutely packed. Cons: The waiter was very friendly but kind of slow with refilling beverages. I mean yes I do understand it was a busy night and there were a lot of orders to fulfil but I feel like I could have been a bit faster. And believe it or not another con that shouldn't be a con but is the portions were to big in my opinion. I went in starving and I could not even finish my meal. I would take it to go but food is never better the next day, unless it's pizza. Pro: If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine or even Greek cuisine with a twist you will most defiantly enjoy this place. It's a fantastic and welcoming atmosphere. And no matter how big your appetite is, you will leave with a full stomach! Even tho the drive was long, I feel like I will be dining there in the near future but maybe share a dish this time! read more

Best Greek restaurant in town! Everything about this place is amazing! Great food. Great service. Super cute atmosphere.

Awesome food quality and quantity. We have ordered a number of times during COVID and it has been well packed and all precautions taken. It is interesting you learn what food is best for takeout and are experience is that this is a great choice for our family. Everyone orders something different and everything is awesome. We highly recommend Sotiris for your family meals. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant. It's conveniently located close to my work, so I thought I would give it a try. The woman who took my order over the phone sounded like it was a chore. I put it off to her just being busy. The lack of service continued when I went to pick up my lunch. The sever who took my payment was down right miserable - horrible first impression. I felt like I was talking to myself. Zero response, zero eye contact, zero interest in being friendly at all. The food wasn't much better. I ordered a Greek salad topped with chicken. The salad dressing didn't have a lot of flavour and my chicken was dry. Everything is extra at this restaurant! Tzatziki sauce is an extra $0.75. I asked for pita bread, that was extra too. My order came to $18.00. Honestly, I have had a better Greek salads with chicken at Soulvaki Hut, it comes with pita and it costs significantly less. I'll drive to Jimmy the Greek in Mapleview or Soulvaki Hut on Brant St. before I order from here again. read more

Catered my Christmas Eve celebration at home from this restaurant. Ordered well in advance, paid in advance, picked up my order on time, get home where guests had already arrived only to find out they didn't give me part of my meat order. I didn't have time to go back so needless to say my guests didn't get enough meat. However, the restaurant gave me enough pita and dip to serve 10 times the amount of people I actually purchased for. Thank god I made grilled veggies and salad to supplement my dinner. The next day I sent an email to the restaurant letting them know they charged me for meat that they did not provide, I gave them a month and a half to respond and to this day I have not heard a thing. As far as I am concerned they stole my money. I paid over $400 for catering and they couldn't even offer a credit or a gift card to make up for taking money for product they didn't supply. I had my wedding reception at their restaurant so I expected to be treated the way I had been then. Nope! I refuse to ever give them another penny and I don't recommend anyone else give them business either. read more

Just ordered take out. It was Food Court quality. The Greek Fries were terrible, tasted and looked like they used McCain Fries. Will not re order again. The bread or what ever it was, was terrible. The chicken shish ka bob was very dry Spent $56 plus tax - was definitely not worth it! read more

Driven by Sotiris hundreds of times, never thought of eating there. Till last night, ordered take out. Ordered two large Gyro meals and one grilled chicken breast with rice (substituted for the listed fries) from the Kids menu. The menu described the gyro as: "Delicious spiced beef and lamb, thinly sliced and piled high". And it was. A great big pile of delicious food. Tzatziki was really good. The salad was a little underwhelming, but fresh. Sotiris were headed for FOUR STARS until.....When we unpacked the dinner, one serving of garlic bread was missing. But here's where they lost 2 stars - The children's chicken breast was pink inside. For safety, we microwaved it to avoid any possible contamination from raw chicken. Improperly cooked chicken is a no-no and a cause for concern. I called the manager twice, and twice I was told he would call back........... read more

Ordered from Sotiris for a work lunch and the food was outstanding. It was also an incredible value, as we ordered chicken souvlaki, potatoes, rice, spanakopita appetizers and salad from their catering menu for 15 (it was easily enough to feed 20!) and the bill was under $400 after tax. Will definitely be going back and bringing the family! read more

Never again! I came to Sotiris with a group of friends on a weekday afternoon. I was pretty impressed when I walked in as the restaurant resembled a gigantic elegant Greek outdoor banquet courtyard with whitewashed walls brought indoors. They had beautiful tall glass windows allowing the sun to pour in and the walls were decorated with breathtaking Greek murals. The bouzouki music playing in the background also added to the delight. Our groups was seated quickly by a frantic waitress with a serious attitude who brought us large glasses of ice water, plopped it on the table with the menu's and pranced away. The menu was pretty large with a great variety- Greek appetizers, chicken, seafood, soups & salad, platters, combo dinners, souvlaki, steaks, chops, ribs, vegetarian dishes and a ton more. When our orders were taken, the waitress looked angry for no apparent reason which made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable. When it was my turn to order, I asked for the scallop dinner. The waitress looked at me and said "Oh, you won't be able to fit that in your body, the dish is way too big". My jaw almost dropped. "Try the atlantic salmon filet" she continued. I tried to tell her I wanted the scallop dinner, but she almost argued with me. I went with the salmon filet (stupid me). I was tired and starving and at the point would've eaten a horse if she offered it to me. Our trio dip appetizer of tzatziki, taramousalata & melitzanosalata ($9.99) was okay. The bread that came with it was too toasted and had a ton of salt on it that it was hard to eat. I tasted their Greek platter for one as well ($21.99) the platter was huge and consisted of moussaka, 1 souvlaki stick, 2 lamb chops and gyros. It also came with Greek salad, roast potatoes, garlic bread and more tzatziki. The meat was cooked well but the quality was bad, greasy, and once again, it was way too salty. My atlantic salmon ($20.99) was a skinny little filet dusted with paprika and tons of salt! The pilaf it came with was cooked well but salty too. By the end of meal the entire group was having dehydration attack from the insane amount of salt. We constantly asked our water glasses to be refilled. The waitress was being irritated by this and showed it. Some of us even had dead fruit flies at the bottom of our water glasses- gross! The mean attitude of the waitress was worsening during the dining experience so no one brought the fruit fly matter up in case the waitress killed us. Overall, Sotiris is a beautiful looking restaurant with scary service, large portioned low quality food and I'm never coming back here again. read more

food here is pretty decent and portions are great but they get such a low score from me because service is absolutely horrible I mean for such a large restaurant and for an establishment whose been in the business for so long you'd think this would be a walk in the park for them. but EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've been here the wait for the food is atrocious and the servers are just drowning in all the tables they have. I keep returning because I think it'll get better but after my last visit - enough is enough. management doesn't put nearly enought servers on the floor and assigns way too many tables to one server. we were a table of 20+ and we only had one server assigned to us and one who "help" to drop plates. the kitchen was so backed up we waited over an hr for our food and we didn't get one of the items we ordered by the end if our meal we were all rationing out water cause we knew we would never get another refill again! I won't be going back! read more
