Karbouzi Greek Taverna has been a great Greek food spot for me for a few years now.
I fell in love with the food, the service and the warm and adorable foreign interiors when I went to a private birthday dinner party for a friend.
Being a Greek food fan, I could not believe that I hadn't stumbled upon Karbouzi before!
The reasonable prices, the huge selection of food and the great location for us uptown and midtown Toronto folks makes this restaurant a wonderful member of the Greek food places in the city.
The prices at Karbouzi are basically all under $20 for all entrees - minus the Steak, which is only $24!
And trust me, you get a ton for this price! Every entree comes with tons of delicious greek salad, rice and your choice of fries or potatoes.
When I go here for lunch, I love getting a HUGE greek salad and split some greek garlic bread or pita with tzatiki with a friend.
The salad is so fresh and crunchy, with delicious veggies, feta and light greek vinagrette to top it off.
For dinner, I love love love their chicken or lamb souvlaki.
BUT IF YOU ARE VEGETARIAN, do not worry!
They have a delicious dinner plate called a Spanikotiropita! This veggie dish is a phyllo pastry filled with Spinach and Feta! It is to die for!
Aside from my suggestions, there are so many options!
I once counted and Karbouzi has at least 20 options for appetizers alone, both hot or cold!
They also offer a more simple children's menu if you are bringing the younger kiddies along!
As well, this place is such a treat to have a private party or bridal shower dinner at. They are always willing to close up the restaurant to create a much more private venue for you and your guests and they are helpful and flexible with the planning of your private party.
And on top of that, they also cater!
