I grew up coming to this restaurant. Takis, the owner, is one of the kindest and most hospitable people I've ever met. Our family would come in for dinner and he would always greet us by name, hug us and come sit with us and catch up. The restaurant was always full, and he would still always make a point of doing this. Amazing man.
The ambiance - truly Greek. I love it. I have vivid memories of coming here and seeing belly dancers while we ate, watching people sip their flaming ouzo, and parties with people dancing and singing. So. much. fun.
As for the food..this restaurant single handedly set my standard for lamb shoulder. This is the first place I ever tried lamb shoulder and I fell in love. The meat falls off the bone, is full of flavour and moist. Served with a hot mustard and greek potatoes...SO. GOOD.
Every time I come back to Alberta and visit my dad this is where I request that we go.
