| - We had a really delicious dinner here!
We arrived at around 6pm and were seated immediately. The servers brought us bread and water right away while we looked at the menu.
We decided on chicken souvlaki and the fried calamari appetizer.
The calamari was fried nicely but was soft and fresh tasting. Priced at around $16, it's a bit expensive considering their main dishes are around $15-$25, but still worthwhile for a calamari fanatic like me.
The chicken souvlaki was outrageously juicy and delicious. I'm not sure how they cook it to be so juicy but it's some of the best souvlaki I've ever had, possibly the best chicken I've ever had, plus it was white meat, which is harder to cook to that sort of perfection. This meal is served with a Greek salad, which was dressed nicely and topped with a healthy portion of feta cheese, and on the side of the chicken comes some rice, potatoes and carrots. The carrots and rice were good, I wasn't crazy about the potatoes, I would probably ask for extra carrots next time, they were really delicious. The small souvlaki portion is quite large, even for a big eater, it's likely enough food, but there is a large option for $3 extra.
At the end of the meal we were brought a piece of cake which was a nice, unexpected treat! The cake almost had a cornbread-meets-vanilla cake texture, and was soaked in some type of syrup which made it sweeter, I loved the cake and thought it was a nice gesture.
The service is no-nonsense, efficient, our waiter in particular wasn't especially sweet or anything but he was quick and effective. Some of the other guys who brought us food would talk a bit more or make a quick joke but didn't hang out excessively. They run a tight ship and they're good at it!
The restaurant is very similar to other Greek spots on the Danforth, decorated Greek-style with murals depicting Greece and Greek sculptures on the walls. They can likely use a bit of a facelift but I like that it's sort of classic Danforth.
Overall a really good experience, I will definitely be back!
