Best calimari I have had in calgary — hands down. Not chewy or overcooked; very tender, lightly battered, great flavour. My husband said his lamb was “the best I’ve EVER had.” His was fall off the bone and he loved the flavour. The appy platter for 2 fed 4 of us EASILY. If it were for 2 ppl you would not need dinner. No joke — it’s that huge.
Our only comment would be to season the steak more. It was didn’t have much flavour. Everything else was amazing! Overall we were incredibly satisfied.
The Greek food here is very good! I absolutely loved the grape leaf wraps and of course the saganaki which is done properly and lit on fire at the table. Very friendly service and nice, Greek atmosphere.
Definitely a return visit in my future 😊
I just had a great lunch here today finding parking to try it out was a bit of a problem cause parking lot is not very big and was fairly busy. I got the lemon and rice soup and the soutzoukakia which is meatballs on rice cover in a tomato sauce. The soup tasted fine just seemed like in needed something just not sure what. The meatballs were very good were fairly large served withota of rice and tomato sauce was delicious brought the dish together.
All about trying new places this trip. Aunt was feeling Greek so we decided to try Calypso’s Taverna. We came on a Saturday evening around 7:00pm and there was maybe a handful of tables. So dead (thanks again Stampede). They have a TV and were playing Wheel of Fortune. Haven’t seen that show in years.
Went here Saturday night. There were 5 of us. My daughter wanted Greek food and not the standard Opa fare. I had Moussaka. It was good as it had just a hint of cinnamon. Nice large piece and as always I finished it all. Too bad there was no place to break the plate.
We've gone here many times as it is close to where we live. Service is always friendly. We only order appetizers to I cannot speak to the quality of their main plates. We've tried their meatballs, Greeks ribs (appetizer), stuffed calamari, mussels, saganaki, Greeks salad, grilled calamari (they did this for us upon request instead of fried calamari), and sausage. All is very good. There is also a lovely dessert that is filled with a type of custard that is in a flaky fillo dough and served warm.
Haven't been here for a couple years. The food quality has been improved a lot. I ordered beef souvlaki and it tasted juicy. I love it. Will come back again.
We headed out for Greek dinner with some neighbourhood friends. We’d been to Santorini’s across the street and had heard good things about Calypso’s so we thought we’d try something new. The atmosphere is warm and cozy with booths and tables and a TV for those who can’t leave home without knowing what the score is. It was nice to see a list of decently priced wines – from $33 to $60, most were between $33 and $44 I think. We ordered a Malbec to share.
Loved this place. Friendly and accommodating staff, lovely food and reasonable prices. I live right by this place but never noticed it. It's a gem though, and I'll certainly be going back!
Consistently excellent food and service. Unsurpassed quality and value. Food is always nicely prepared and delicious. Family run. Restaurant has a very casual atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Cozy restaurant, relaxed atmosphere, great service and superb food. You can feel everything is made from scratch. The portions are generous and well presented. Highly recommended.
I can't believe it has taken me this long to review this gem! The staff Is always incredible and I regularly crave their Aegean lasagna. This is the perfect place for date nights or celebrations 💕
My families favourite Greek food hands down. The portions are very generous, flavours are rich and we keep going back. Our go to choice is the Combination Platter for 2 and the Athenian Pasta. The lamb with the platter is amazing!
The price may seem high at first glance but the portions make it well worth it. Our combo platter and pasta order lasts our family 2 meals (2 adults, 1 tween and a toddler)
On top of all this the staff is so pleasant
Ordered the kleftiko (lamb) and the Mousaka. The lamb was very tender and juicy. Large portions for both dishes.
Best Greek restaurant in town. I've introduced friends and family to this place over the years and they've all become regulars like us. Always great food and service!
My favorite dish is the Moussaka and Crystal can't get enough of the tzatziki that comes with the pita bread. Make sure you save room for the Ekmek and Bougatsa - they are amazing desserts!
Beautiful dinner we had! We had roasted lamb and lamb souvlaki. The food is overall delicious. From the salad, to the rice, potatoes and the meat. Everything was perfectly prepared and cooked with much TLC. You can tell they are proud of what they do. The service was super fast, efficient and very friendly. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and clean. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
Mind blowing experience! Amazing flavours, huge portions! As our amazing waitress said "if you leave a Greek restaurant hungry you never come back" it's next morning and I'm still full! Happy we tried out Calypso's. Demeter would be proud!
Very warm and cozy. The owners are very hospitable. Steak is a beautiful baseball cut. The appetizer platter was very filling. The chicken Artemis is absolutely precious. The Moussaka was very nicely prepared. My kid liked the lamb.. As long as we live in Calgary we will be coming back here. Love this place.
