I grew up near Greektown and I've tried almost every greek restaurant on the Danforth. Although I enjoy many of them, Avli is definitely one of my favourites. The owner is often there, and he takes pride in presenting very delicious food from his country.
I've sat on the patio and inside, and both times got prompt service. They have some affordable wine too, which is nice.
My favourite dishes I've had are:
1. The home made Bougatsa (greek custard dessert) is out of this world!!!
2. Spanakopita - I really like it here - it's home made and not too sweet. Some people might not like how much dill is in it, but I quite enjoyed it.
3. Dips! They have all sorts of dips. The olive tapenade is my favourite thing to start with.
4. The CALAMARI!!! It isn't deep fried, and it's stuffed with tomatoes and garlic. SO. Good.
