| - Nice place, like the booths. Seemed clean, staff was friendly. Open extremely late. Cash only, by the way.
We each ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner
- Chicken was very good. Moist, juicy, well seasoned -- whatever marinade they use is great
- Side greek salad was quite yummy, albeit small
- Rice was decent although could have had more flavour... we ended up putting salt/pepper on it, then when it still didn't feel flavourful enough, we rubbed it around in the salad dressing
- The potato chunks were huge. 2 big blocks. But they were tasty
- The 3 slices of bread were really yummy, well seasoned too
- None of us really found their tzatziki sauce that good... it had too much lemon. They give you a good quantity, but the taste was only average. I'd prefer a more garlic-oriented tzatziki, personally
- We also tried their poutine which was average at best.
All in all, it was a good souvlaki dinner and filling, but also rather expensive at $12.25 (no drink)
I give it 3/5 because, one, I don't think the value is there. I think that chicken souvlaki plate is well worth it for maybe $9.... but $12.25? You're talking $14 with tax.
Plus one of my fave parts of a greek dinner plate is dipping everything into the tzatziki... potato pieces, chicken, the bread, everything... so if your tzatziki sauce is your weakest link, it scores a bit less.
Also, I found the service fairly slow considering it wasn't that busy.
Otherwise, we quite enjoyed it. I'd go back but because I'm frugal, it would be a rarity. It's a bit steep for me. Sure I felt full, but the components weren't enough to justify the price.
