| - We went here for Mother's Day, not my choice, but the rest of the family picked it. We had been there before and I hated it, but everyone claimed it had a new owner and the food was great now and as good as any place on the Danforth. They lied.
The place looks just the same as last time I was there about 3 years ago and they had the same senior citizen waiters, although there were a couple of younger new ones. To give them the benefit of the doubt, they were completely full and probably swamped. We had a 7pm reservation and didn't get seated until probably 7:15 or so. We got a complimentary plate of olives and dill pickle spears. Still trying to figure out the pickles, as they used to put hummus on there.
We got no menus at all until I motioned to one of the waiters to bring them. Shockingly, the lamb souvlaki was missing from the menu, with only pork, chicken, or beef as options. So much for what I wanted to order! Also, the prices were a lot higher than they had been. It was $17.95 for pork souvlaki, $18.95 for chicken, and $19.95 for beef.
We got bread before the menus, and had eaten it all before anyone ever came to give us water. The bread was really good and we were really hungry. :-) Finally they took our order and we got appetizers in about 10 minutes or so and salads came shortly after that. The salads were probably the best part of the meal besides the bread, quite large and with lots of feta. The appetizers were OK but not great and for the first time I can remember, there was calamari left over. I don't eat it but I am guessing it wasn't very good since everyone else usually scarfs it down.
The entrees took forever, probably an hour after we had been seated, and were not worth the wait. The pork souvlaki was quite disappointing, very dry and not very hot. The rice, which was a complaint of mine in the past, was still plain, dry, and tasteless. The roasted potatoes you normally get were missing and instead they put steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot. I hate broccoli and cauliflower so didn't eat those. They tzatziki sauce was in a tiny cup and while good was not enough for all the meat since it was so dry you really had to dunk it. We ordered dessert and it was OK, same you would get from any restaurant that buys their deserts from somewhere else.
All in all, we were there for over 2 hours and nobody was very happy with their food. I think the consensus was to go elsewhere next time, Mr. Greek was mentioned, instead of this tired old place. I gave them 2 stars only because they were so busy, had it been a normal night and we got the same food and service, I would have only given 1 star.
