  • Last night, it was FREEZING cold in the Danforth. Because we didn't have food in the fridge (whoops), we wanted a quick, cheap meal in the neighbourhood. Our go-to Greek restaurant has always been Mezes but because it was slippery, we wanted to go someplace closer. We first passed by the Combine Eatery but quickly left when we saw that they charged $15 for tacos. (WTF - seriously??? I've been all around California, Texas, and Mexico and paying $15 for tacos goes against my principles). We then passed by Asteria Souvlaki place. Now, we always walked by Asteria before but didn't bother going in because the exteriors looked, well, sketchy. We've lived in the neighbourhood for years but Asteria never really looked that appealing from the outside. When we did go yesterday, though, we realized just how much we were missing out on. First of all, while there is limited food selection, they cover all the staples that you would expect in a Greek diner. You want a dip selection? Check. You want fried cheese? Check. You want souvlakis? Check. Secondly, the prices were great. For around $11, you could have a full dinner plate, complete with main and generous sides of rice, buttery potatoes, Greek salad, and buttery bread. Thirdly, the food was impressive. My partner ordered the lamb chop dinner and it came not with one, not with two, but with FOUR pieces of succulent rare lamb that he practically gnawed off the bone to finish. Taste-wise and price-wise, how can you beat that? My calamari dinner was ok. I actually prefer my calamari with more breading but this was tasty. I appreciated the generous heaping of garlicky tzatzicki that came at the side. As for the service, it was fine. The woman who served us that evening was nice; she checked in periodically to make sure the food was good; she refilled our water glasses on the dot; she was competent! I personally hate it when servers talk to you with faux friendliness TGI-Fridays style. It was also abundantly clear that this was a neighbourhood joint because the servers casually chatted to their regular customers, giving the place a nice, homey vibe. Will I go back? Hell yes! And this teaches me never to judge a restaurant by its exteriors.
