| - On New Years Day, I ordered a souvlaki dinner for myself and my girlfriend. Thankfully, without having to wait too long, the delivery dude showed up with my order of large souvlaki chicken dinner and my girlfriend's small pork souvlaki dinner.
My first reaction upon opening my food was "Ooh, I think they messed up the sizes." Even though I had ordered the large one, my girlfriend's plate had more food (meat, rice and veg) in it. All the contents in the bowl were identical. However, we are really comparing apples and oranges, so I am not sure if the folks at Mykonos messed up or not. My review of the food in general is that it's pretty good for a delivery food. I think the plus was that they used the breast meat for the chicken, yet manage to not make it completely dry. It was pretty juicy and I think they had just enough amount of char on the outside for my liking (i.e. not a lot). The veggies and potatoes were pretty much standard affair. Veggies were nothing to write home about, and I was just glad that potatoes were not entirely bland. I liked the salad that they packed for its dressing. The salad itself looked kinda sad. Reminded me of those garden salad mixes you buy at Loblaws. I tend to like dressings with strong vinegar smell, and this one had that. I was really hungry, so I was able to finish the whole thing, but if I was not as hungry, I think I would not have been able to finish. I think the portion was generous (save for chicken), and I think over all, the food earns a solid 3.5/5
My girlfriend (a big fan of Greek food) enjoyed the food, but I think she also finds the food little shy of being comparable to other Greek food that she has had. She did not like the sourness of the potatoes, but she thought the other parts of the food were done pretty well. She did not end up finishing her meal (because of the portions), but she was satisfied. She agrees with me that in terms of the food quality, this place would be like 3.5/5.
Overall, this place gets a solid 3.5 from me. In fact, if the delivery was a bit quicker, I would have rated this place 4/5.
