Service was professional, all waiters were dressed neatly and well groomed. We ordered the pita bread with hummus, which had a wonderful mix and tasted so good that we ordered extra pitas.

Very nice and wonderful time!

Almost every table gets a dip and while the typical babaganoush and hummus are available, the…read moreeggplant and pepper dip ($9) intrigued me. Starting with a base of roasted eggplant, slivers of quickly smoked pepper and raw celery & onion are mixed in, so the dip is creamy and crunchy. As a babaganoush lover, I thoroughly enjoyed this version! Without tahini the dip is lighter and brighter. Still their bababanoush ($9) is good with large chunks of eggplant and tons of tahini turning it creamy. It's just a touch sweet for me. For the carb conscious, the dips arrive without a pita ($1.50), so you won't be tempted. I wanted one with the eggplant and pepper... it's your regular run-of-the-mill thick pocketed pita. It's remarkable how much they can stuff in a pita. You'll need to unhinge your jaw to bite into lamb kefta in a pita ($18), the ground meat kebab juicy and each bite bringing different flavours. The bites with their zesty and slightly spicy amba sauce are my favourite and despite the abundance of onion, they're well soaked so the acidity is removed and a crunchy sweetness remains. Their sandwiches arrive solo but is enough to satisfy. The price for a side of French fries ($11) is a bit steep but it's a huge portion, enough to share amongst three. The beef shish kabob ($30) was a tad chewy but at least cooked well and perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. I recommend upgrading to their Greek salad ($4 supplement), a village style version containing large chunks of juicy ripe tomato, crunchy cucumber, briny creamy feta, and onions. Limon augments the salad with roasted red paper and capers adding a savoury smoky element that's delicious. If you're in the mood for beef, order the strip steak ($34) instead. It's less grizzly and you get a sizeable portion of meat cooked to your liking. With three pieces of fish arriving in the roasted rainbow trout ($30), this is a shareable main. It's well cooked with crispy skin and tender meat and simply topped with onions and pomegranate seeds. Having visited on three occasions, the sole visit the restaurant wasn't full was during a weekday lunch. And when it gets busy the ordering and paying process slows down as Limon creates a bottleneck by flowing both operations into one person, who I assume is the manager. Despite a number of workers, they seem to focus on serving, refilling water, and cleaning up. If you ask one to take an order or pay, the request gets redirected to the manager. What an odd way to slow down table turnover at a restaurant. Warning: the tightly packed tables create a loud ambient noise at the restaurant. It's a bit much at first, but as the meal progresses, I tuned it out. When the weather's nice and they open the front windows, it almost feels like you're sitting al fresco somewhere a bit more exotic than Midtown Toronto. A beautiful meal indeed.

What really made me mad was when I wanted just water but the sneakily didn't ask if I want tab or bottle. They just did bottle. Didn't bring out the bottle the first round and charged me.

Within 10 min a homeless just walks up asking me for money and when kids asking to take the bread from my basket. No waiters outside to help the situation. Never going back.

Alexa Play "You Stole the Show", by Sienna Spiro…read more Okay Canada! This foodie took her talents across the border to visit a very special friend (we are dating them ALL) and when a friend insists a place is a must, you listen. That's how I ended up at Mamakas Taverna in Toronto, and let me tell you... this was absolutely worth the passport stamp. Mamakas feels like stepping into a chic Aegean escape right in the middle of the city. The space is small, yet bright, stylish, and warm, with that effortless Greek charm that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The energy is lively but intimate, the kind of place where the food, the vibe, and the company all hit at the same time. From the moment the plates hit the table the spreads, the fresh seafood, you understand why locals treat this spot like a staple. It's elevated without being pretentious, comforting without being basic, and every bite tastes like someone's yiayia whispered secrets into the recipe. If Toronto is going to show out like this, I'll happily keep bringing my foodie passport back. This year is INTENTIONAL! I will be in a new country more often to try new places but honestly Toronto may have to be a quarterly trip. The food places were that good here! Plus he's not that bad either! Shout out to our cute waitress! Let's get into it! Okay so you see all my pictures! I was told I was trying it all! I love a man who understands your love for food! Starters- You must get the dips! Tzatziki - loved this. You could taste the lemon. Taramosalata - this was my favorite! More please! Ask for more Pita bread! We did! Melizanosalata - They changed the recipe so this was just okay according to my date. Mains- Kotopoulo - Tea Brined Chicken and Mushrooms. Sooooooo yummy! Drools writing this. Lavraki- 1.5lb Whole Grilled Aegean Sea Bass - I LOVED this! Sides- Lahanika - Veggies soooooo yummy and fresh! Tiganites Patates - potatoes so delicious! I need more!! Yes! Yes! And MORE YES!

It took SO LONG just to get our drinks & a long time after that for our food. My beef souvlaki was burnt & all fatty. The salad was too small and had no dressing on it. They only put a little oil on it. The Greek Potatoes were good & so was the tzatziki. But that's it. The only one who's food was decent was my sons girlfriends. She got the "Chicken on a Spit" or whatever it's called & her chicken was cooked perfectly. The food was awful !!!! The employee or owner didn't come to check on us even once or to see if we needed anything. We did need stuff , but didn't want to get up from our table to go ask her. Finally, my son's gf waved the lady over for "to go" containers & some napkins, which we needed earlier. She came back after a few minutes with them. Then I actually had to go up to the counter for the check She knew we were done & we sat there waiting & waiting , but, I went up to take care of it. It was $139.00 for a horrible eating experience. I tipped although she did not deserve it. She didn't do anything to get a tip. We left and were just soooo disappointed !!! I wanted to take them all out for a nice dinner & it was horrible. The restrooms needed to be cleaned up. They looked disgusting. I will never go back again !!!!!

The sandwiches were tasty; all toppings were freshly prepared and the variety of traditional Lebanese ingredients and sauces in the two vegetarian sandwiches were so perfect together. We especially loved the fried cauliflower, eggplant and arugula combination in the Veg Cut. Beirut Garden was also scrumptious with mouthwatering halloumi with mint chutney on a soft Schiachiatta bread. The smoked salmon was also prepared on the same bread, as their bagel delivery hadn't arrived yet but this was also very good with lots of capers and red onions.
