| - This place has been on my radar for a while since it's supposed to be one of the better and interesting Greek restaurants on the Danforth. I brought my much younger sister here for Winterlicious on a Thursday January evening for their $25 prix-fixe menu. I am not too big a fan of souvlaki myself becuase I find it a bit dry, so I chose this restaurant because it consisted of more choices (5+) on their 'licious menus and interesting dishes I've never tried before.
Arriving at about 7pm, this cozy place was packed! We were lucky to find a 2-top snuggled in the corner right by the window against the strings of x-mas-like lit stars from celiing to floor. The place is definitely casual and full of people chattering away happily! It took a little long (5min) for us to be greeted, but when we finally were, the service was not bad. The wine I asked him to surprise me with was great, but... I forgot.
APPS: (3/5 stars)
-Mydia Santorini: Mussels in a tomato and ouzo broth- good, but I think I could make better.
-Kolokithokeftedes: Zucchini croquettes with feta, kefalograviera cheese and Fresh herbs, served with tzatziki- Lightly breaded and deep-fried till delicious!! I only wish it came with more!!!
MAINS: (4/5 stars)
-Exohiko: Chicken breast with onions, sweet peppers, mushrooms, and cream cheese, wrapped in phyllo pastry, served with green salad.- Not usually a fan of chicken breast, but in the delcious sauce it was very good. Though I personally thought it needed just a touch more salt and pepper. However, my sister thought it was perfect.
-Arni Kotsi Yiouvetsi: Braised Lamb Shank with Mediterranean herbs and savory vegetables, an Aegean specialty served over veggie orzo in a tomato broth- Soooo tender and flavourful! This was the hi-light of the night! This was just as good as any delicious lamb shank I've had. The portion was huge!
DESSERTS: (2/5 stars)
-Galaktoboureko: Custard wrapped with a thin layer of phyllo pastry- Not too heavy and very good. Next time I would ask for the honey on the side instead of having it drizzled on top though.
-Ravani (vegetarian): A traditional Greek cake with honey syrup and sprinkle almonds- A bit too sweet for me, but I'm not usually a dessert fan.
Service: (4/5 stars)
I understand they were extremely busy, but they all made a team effort to deliver great service. The server did however make a mistake in delivering the pita for the hummus dish for us. But when we both noticed, my sister and I were already eating it thinking it was bread service haha. The server left us to indulge.
Overall, I will come back for their interesting menu, friendly service, good portions sizes, and probably Summerlicious!
