| - Was there for lunch by myself this past Monday. I had the small chicken souvlaki platter with a bottle of Stella Artois.. Food was excellent and fresh, portions not huge and service very friendly. I could say it is a very needed addition to the neighbourhood, however..... what Greek restaurant has no Greek coffee? No baklava? No PORK?????? And they were not doing gyro but that will change apparently. But really.... they apparently had Greek coffee when they opened a little more than a month ago but took it off the menu? I was told that they have no pork to accomodate the Jewish population as well as the muslims? Come on, so if I go to Egypt or Morocco, will they have pork on the menu to accomodate me? No? I thought so. A restaurant cannot be everything to everybody. A succesful restaurant accomodates clients, but not by altering the very essence of its cuisine. This is a recipe for failure. This establishment has pleasant and efficient staff and the food is excellent. But they should not alter what they are, thinking it will bring in more business. People who do not eat pork for religious reasons would never go to Krystos, or any Greek restaurant, for that matter. This place is needed in the Lawrence-Dufferin area, especially now that the population and density are increasing. However, if it cannot be a real Greek restaurant, it will close soon enough. I plan to go back and see if they improve.
