| - This place has to be one of the worst places I've been to in all of Toronto.
My boyfriend and I were starving and on Queen Street and were looking for a healthy, decently nice place to eat when we came upon The Healthy Greek. We looked at the menu and it looked fairly reasonable. However, once we sat down, things just got worse and worse. My boyfriend wanted to order the BBQ Chicken and we were told they were out of it (even though this was well before closing time). This wouldn't normally be a big deal and he simply ordered the chicken shawarma and a pop instead. I decided to try something new and went with the beef gyro.
When the food came, we realized that they had served my boyfriend chicken souvlaki. He was kind of frustrated. We waited awhile for his drink to come, which never did. My meal was horrible, to say the least and I wound up giving over half of it to my boyfriend. I asked him if beef gyro normally tastes like that and he said no. Both of our meals were horribly dry and must have been the remnants from the day. Also, our water glasses were never refilled and we were never served again from the time the food was placed in front of us until we paid.
Then, when the bill came, we found that what I had actually wasn't beef gyro, it was lamb gyro. Kind of a big difference. My boyfriend was pretty angry at this point. At least the prices were the same for everything and they never charged us for the pop he ordered and never got. My boyfriend wanted to leave a really small tip but he was forced to leave a certain amount. For ~$30, it was way too much for very sub-par food.
I think the only way I would return to The Healthy Greek would be if I needed a salad for lunch (lunch meals are much cheaper and the salad ingredients looked much fresher than what we were served). The only good thing I can say about this place is that the meal came with a huge serving of rice, a small salad and some potatoes, so it was definitely filling.
Overall, if you find yourself on Queen Street, you can do much better.
