| - Second time we had food from here...first time we ate in the restaurant in the Summer (2016). Having just moved to Pickering from Scarborough, we thought we would try the local Greek joint. Food was ok, rice was decent with the red sauce on it. Souvlaki was not better or worse than say Mr. Greek (Kennedy Common). It satisfies our craving.
After a weekend out of town, we decided to look through the menu (received in mail w/in the past 6mths, as we've only moved here late in the Summer) and order for delivery since the menu stated "FREE delivery with minimum $25 (before tax) purchase". So, we called in, ordered a Gyro meal, Gyro in pita and a large village salad w/ pork souvlaki, was told the total was $38.52. After hanging up, we thought the total was a touch pricey, even if there was a price change so we called back to request for a breakdown. As we thought, each of the three items have gone up in price by $1/each (no biggie), but was told about the $4.50 delivery charge. When I questioned about it stating we had a menu which mentioned the FREE delivery, was told they "had always charged a delivery charge"...no offer to adjust that charge or compensate with anything etc. We accepted the delivery charge...first disappointment...
Once we received our order (within the promised 30min), we discovered that they use the "machine-made" gyro strips...second disappointment...we think it's time to venture further out into Pickering to the "other" Greek restaurant on Kingston Rd (closer to the mall).
We were generous with our three star rating taking into consideration both of our encounters.
Don't think we will be ordering from there again...
