We had come here as we were staying in the area from out-of-town, and wanted to try the food, as we…read morehad read excellent reviews. We were happy that we did decide to give this place a try, as it was everything that we had expected, and more! When we walked-in, we were greeted by a young man, that asked if we wanted take-out or dine-in. We chose dine-in however, the restaurant was quite busy at the time so, we had to be seated at a table near the front entrance. Upon sitting, we noticed the iPad that was on the table for ordering. We were also given paper menus to look at, which was easier. Once we had placed our orders, we waited only about ten minutes for our salads to arrive, along with the hummus and pita bread. The salads were absolutely amazing; the bowls were filled to the brim with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and feta cheese. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, and that dressing, WOW; it was delicious! It tied the salad in so well, it was the best salad we had ever tried at a Greek restaurant. The hummus was also delicious, with heated-up pita bread creating the finishing touches. This hummus was definitely homemade, and marvellous! We even asked for an additional pita, as the one we had wasn't enough for the four of us. This appetizer was definitely a great start! Once our main meals arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how large the portions were. And the homemade sauce on top of the rice was wonderful; I don't know how they made the sauce, but it was perfect with the rice. The chicken was tender, with the tzatziki sauce not being needed often due to the tenderness. The potatoes were huge, and deliciously spiced. The meal was massive, and we couldn't finish it all; definitely worth what we had paid for! Throughout the entire meal, the server checked on us, bringing us water when we had asked, and making sure we were well taken care of. As we were leaving, the owner/chef asked where we were visiting from, and if we enjoyed the food. This place was hands-down the best Greek restaurant that we've ever been to; down to earth family-owned, amazing food, and great hospitality. Will definitely be back, and would recommend that you all try it as well; you won't be disappointed!

It's located in a small strip and sometimes it takes time to find parking but not bad at all. The food is really good and fresh... You can feel the flavor of the marination and cook in the grill.

A work colleague first introduced me to Cozmos saying that they have amazing Greek food. I'm glad…read morethat he did because their food quality, portions, and pricing can't be beat when it comes to Greek food in Ottawa. I always order the Lamb Souvlaki Platter with 2 sticks of lamb. I like that you can specify meat doneness, since I like my lamb medium rare. The platter comes with rice, potatoes, Greek salad, tzatziki sauce and pita bread. I always order an additional tzatziki sauce and another pita bread because they're very good and make perfect leftovers for lunch the next day. Everything about the Lamb Souvlaki Platter is perfect in my opinion and I especially love their potatoes. They are always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! They pack the included pita right on top of the souvlaki and potatoes in the same container and I love the flavour the pita absorbs from them. You need to try this platter if you haven't before. I keep taking out-of-town family here for Greek food because it's worth experiencing. Something also worth mentioning is that Cozmos has a good online ordering system that makes it super easy to order ahead and pick up at a specific time. I recommend ordering online to save the time you would otherwise spend waiting after ordering in person, as they are often pretty busy.

It gets full quickly as there's limited seating but the hostess was helpful and got us a table as someone else was leaving. There are specials on the chalkboard at the front. We got the lamb souvlaki plate. The lamb was done medium as requested and was flavorful yet tender and juicy. The salad was large with a giant feta cheese chunk. The rice and potatoes were cooked well. 5/5. I also got an extra beef skewer which was also really delicious and moist. 5/5. The chicken pita was also delicious. Good flavor, great toppings and French fries inside the soft pita. 5/5. Price: Probably comparable pricing to other Greek restaurants downtown but worth the money we paid.

I've been wanting to go to this place for so long! High end greek food…read more A friend and I went with the plan to order a bunch of apps to share. I personally wanted a drink as well but there was nothing that really spoke to me. We started with the greek fries that came with a nice portion of feta cheese on top. It was so good! We also got the pita and 3 dips to share, and if you want additional pita bread its free "refills", for the price of $28 I really hoped for the size of the dips to be alot larger than they were. It was fairly small portions for that cost. We got the tatziki, spicy dip and the eggplant dip, they all tasted really good and also came with a side of olives which was a nice touch however I'm not sure how but the olives were HORRIBLY salty. I usually love olives but I couldn't eat these. Crypiot halloumi was alsoo great and gave me a caprese vibe to the dish. Service was a little slow, we didn't see our waitress many times, and considering that it was a hot day I wish they had the a/c on. I think my friend and I finish 6 jugs of water that night .

Each wrap can have 2 spreads, 1-2 proteins, 6 toppings, and 2 sauces. I opted for 1 protein (lamb meatballs) and not adding 6 toppings. They were pretty generous, and I don't know how I would have held it! For the spreads and proteins, I was proactively given a spiciness level out of 10. That was super helpful for choosing what I might like (4 out of 10 on the lamb meatballs was good for me). Checkout was quick and easy. I came back up after consuming my wrap and asked for the baklava cheesecake. It was in the fridge and accessible like the beverages. The cheesecake honestly wasn't as special as I had hoped, but it was still good. I decided to set up shop and work on my laptop for a while. There are two seating options: countertop and booths. It's a little cozy, but I could still choose where I wanted to sit. The booths and tables/counters are made of real wood, and the grain gives it a texture. The seat wasn't super comfortable, but it sufficed for the couple hours that I stayed.

They have improved the seasoning over the years. Salad is heavy on the lettuce unfortunately, but the dressing is delicious.
