We were in the area and went to this restaurant based on the many positive reviews I saw on tripadvisor, They are correct, and we were delighted with our lunch.
Walking in you notice the delicious aroma of good cooking. The staff are friendly, courteous, and efficient. The decor is bright and clean, with big photos of sunny Greek islands which non the less allow you to dream a little that you are there. It was quite full the Tuesday we went by, but the service remained fast.
My wife loves grilled Calamari, and it is quite hard to find with most places opting out for deep fried. That is probably because it is not an easy dish to get right. Most often it is overcooked and rubbery. The grilled calamari here is exceptional. Tender and tasty with just the right (tiny) amount of "blackening". I ordered the Lamb Kebob and was very happy when it arrived rare as requested and again tender and tasty. You get a choice of sides. The rice is lemony and delicious. The roasted potatoes were yummy. I almost never order them, but went for the onion rings, and they were to die for. Leave your calorie counter at home. Nothing that tastes that good can be bad for you. It comes with big Greek Salads and the portions are large so I noticed many people asking for and cheerfully receiving "doggie" boxes.
Finally, we shared a piece of an over the top fudge cake with chocolate sauce, and more chocolate and more fudge. A big chunk of that came home with us.
First class. We'll go back again when we are up that way.
We had the home burger which was good and large. Fries where fresh. Seems like a good place. Would recommend if your in the area looking to eat

We have been to Loui's Kouzina for dinner once before and liked it, and it was time for another visit. We got there about 6 pm, and the restaurant was about half full. By the time we left, there were no empty tables. Today we happened to be seated beside the open kitchen, which was a continuous hub of noise and activity, with the head chef keeping control of the chaos between dining room and rajout orders.
We started out by sharing one order of Spanakopita. Seasoned, cooked spinach, wrapped in concentric rings of philo pastry. A little crunch, a bit of softness, a lot of flavour.
SWMBO ordered the small Greek Salad and added grilled filet of chicken breast. The chicken was sliced into thin strips, served on top of the salad; it was a bit dry.
I had one of my Greek favourites: Moussaka. This was one of the better ones. The eggplant was cooked all the way through, the ground beef had flavour, and the bechamel was soft and pillowy, with a pleasant flavour of its own.
Service was very good. Although we did have a primary server, they use the team approach, where everyone pitches in to make sure that the customers' needs are met.
My colleagues are crazy about the food here; we order from Loui's at least once a month. We love to order Saganaki and Grilled Kalamari to share, and then we usually get Souvlaki on Pita. All their meats are tender and juicy, with some fatty parts, which probably helps! Both the pita and the buns here are freshly baked and still warm when they arrive at our office. One of my colleagues swears that the buns taste BETTER after you re-bake them the next day! Greek food in Markham probably doesn't get more authentic than Loui's.
I discovered Loui Kouzina on Zomato since there were so many positive reviews. I felt like I had to try their food. The atmosphere is lacking, nothing special. I tried their chicken souvlaki plate as well as their Moussaka and salad. The beef Moussaka was quite delicious. It tasted like a sheppard pie. It was creamy, soft and flavourful. The chicken souvlaki was like any other chicken souvlaki (nothing special but tastes good). Overall, I would say this place is a bit more pricier than other commonly known greek restaurants. The portion sizes are not very large but is enough for an individual that's not extremely hungry.
I've been here a few times now to order take out for lunch. I have tried the small pork and chicken souvlaki plates, both with the roasted potatoes. The food is absolutely delicious and fairly good value for money. The plate comes with a Greek salad and a buttered toasted hot dog bun. Maybe it was garlic bread? It's hard to tell among the rest of the garlic in the meal. Either way, it was good. I plan on keeping coming here for the occasional lunch, as it's nearby to my work.
When i think of Greek food, I always think of Loui's Kouzina! Forget the Danforth, this is where it's at! Love their appetizer dishes and main courses. The value is there. Their service is not amazing but good. I haven't been up there in a while but I'm sure if I went for a visit now, it'll be exactly like my last visit. Try their flaming cheese dish!
Excellent!!. Very friendly staff, quick service, clean. Have had numerous lunches here and all have been extremely delicious and fresh. Souvlaki is very generous and they give you tons of buttery fresh garlic bread on the side. The seafood combo is also really good. Great for those who love Greek/Mediterranean food and grilled meats. Two thumbs up!
Very pleasurable experience!
Nice, clean place, no dusty-sticky..
Food was amazing, big portions. We got small gyro and small souvlaki. Very tasty! All home made!
Friendly and fast service!
Wanna good greek food?
Defineyely stop by!
OMG this place is AMAZING. I recently go there with my friends, we were around 10 and each of us order different kinds of food also with desert! everything was so good, and servers were so friendly. i really liked the pictures on the wall and also music. this restaurant is one of the best Greek Restaurant in Markham, and i recommended to everyone who like Greek food.
I really like this place!! I had my birthday party there with my friends, the servers were so friendly to me and the foods were so delicious, im gonna go again for sure! Loving this restuarant
Real nice atmosphere with gorgeous photos of Greece on the walls. Friendly staff...food is good with light subtle flavours. My wife had the small chicken souvlaki, with potatoes & salad. It tasted good but the salad was really soggy. I had the chicken fillet sandwich with fries. Again, real good though the fries were a tad over fried. I will definitely be back!!
This place is great and I wish I knew about it earlier. No need to drive all the way down to the danforth anymore. I had some simple appetizers and small chicken plate and everything was great. I'll definitely come back here alot more often. Staff are super friendly and prices are very reasonable.
What an amazing little restaurant souvlaki was perfect. Saganaki is a must. If you don't know what it is. It's basically cheese lit on fire. Sooo good. Rice is good potatoes are too. I'm Greek and I go to a lot of Greek restaurants I think it's the best in town. Try it out you will be full.
Fantastic Greek dishes!. Oh my... I live downtown but I would definitely make my trip ALL the way up there for their Trio dish!!! I remember watching one of the EuroCup games while eating the food and let me tell you... the game was NOT distracting my concentration on tasting the food! There were the 2 of us and we ordered a Trio dish which is basically pita and 3 kinds of dips. They were ALL very good. The salad was HUGE. The sandwich was HUGE. Not just the size guys, but the quality was fantastic! The waitress who helped us was SUPER friendly too... kudos to her! I highly highly highly recommend this place for some Greek food uptown!
I wasn't too big on the veggie platter (the potatoes/rice were good) but the restaurant has the best spinach pie I have ever had. I am definitely coming back to try a different dish. The entire restaurant was really busy so clearly a lot of people love it here.
Great food and service!. We really enjoy this little neighbourhood restaurant both for take out and dining. The lamb dishes are particularly good. Highly recommend it.
Best Greek food in Markham, possibly in the GTA!. I have been frequenting LK for about 2 years now. I can't say enough nice things about this Family owned and operated restaurant. The satff are super friendly and accomodating. Food is always cooked fresh and served hot. Prices are very reasonable, great value!
Make sure you try them for breakfast as well!
Please don't eat here if you are used to that garbage psuedo-Greek food they serve at those chain restaurants. The food here is authentic and tasty.
Shout out to Crystal my favourite server!
Early Saturday night dinner, spinach dip was gooey and awesome. Large gyro plate was huge and delicious, sides were abundant. Excellent service. Recommend.

Response to Mr.Drummond's Arrogance. First and foremost Mr.Drummond, if you had any class at all you would certainly be more courteous, rather than disrespect and put down the staff at Louis' Kouzina. What exactly does being 'on the heavy side' have to do with anything at all. The fact that you didn't even bother to learn the waitress' name is proof enough of how rude you may have been. With regards to your comment in general, they have never been arrogant nor have they been sarcastic, but if you ask me you probably deserved it! Secondly, and most importantly, if you compare Louis' Kouzina to Mr.Greek my friend…well, that says it all for you; you most definitely have zero class and no taste at all in Greek food!! "Mr.Greek KNOCKOFF"???? Are you kidding me???? Have you even eaten that garbage before? Louis Kouzina is by far more superior to the junk Mr.Greek serves. I do apologize if the "Tangy Sauce" was too much for you, but that is how Tzatziki is made my friend…oh ya, I do apologize again, because I am sure you are unaware of how it should taste if you have been eating Mr.Greek's runny and watery version of Tzatziki. Furthermore, if the lettuce is not the size you may need it to be, next time look down at the knife that is usually strategically placed near your plate, pick it up and use it to cut your lettuce. Overall, in order to judge and know what you are talking about, you must have some class, and certainly some experience. In addition to that, take a look at how busy Louis' is and just how many people love it there. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but you couldn't be more further from the truth, Louis' Kouzina is a phenomenal restaurant!!! Get it straight Mr. Drummond! I have been going to Louis' Kouzina since it has opened and it's a fantastic place, I hope that you try it again some day and see what over 95% of the public do. Keep up the great work Louis' Kouzina!!
A place you'll fall in love with. I frequent Loui's Kouzina and I've NEVER had a bad meal! The food, service and atmosphere is fantastic. Great place to visit...you'll never be disappointed.
Delicious jewel. In a Sea of Asian Restaurants, this place is a delicious jewel in Markham. The first time we visited, my Husband and I shared a Dinner Plate. We went again recently and I didn't want to share my Fried Calamari. It was just too good.
Great food, great atmosphere and great service.
So good!. Try one of the souvlaki plates, they are the best!
EASY FAMILY EATS. My little family of four have been frequenting Loui's since they opened. We go there consistenly because it's one of the few spots where each one of us can find something we like to eat! With 3 picky eaters in the dynamic, let me tell ya, that's an outstanding bonus.
This cozy little restaurant is the whole package.
It's ambiance is pleasant, simple and clean.
The service is "always" efficient, welcoming and prompt.
The pricing is reasonable.
The meals are hot, fresh and ample.
When Loui is in the house - he makes sure he comes over to say hello and tease the kids.
The food is fresh and savory and the portions will satisfy all healthy eaters. I have to note that their tomato sauce pasta is one of the best I have ever had, only because it tastes so homemade with a unique blend of simply concocted flavours. YUM!
This is definitely a sure thing when you want a peaceful and satisfying dining out experience.
PS> Awesome breakfasts.
It's a no-brainer.
Ordered a gyro (yero) pita & was dissapoimted that it was not shaved meat but the mystery meat paste thing that most restos serve...although mystery meat as I call it the taste was really good! $5.25 for the pita! I'll post pics of the menu since I could nor find one online for my life haha! Overall considering it was not the authentic gyros like Messini in greektown serves it filled my belly! Had a lot of meat and tasted awesome just the same! Way better than mr.Greeks for sure! Hope this helps!
Fantastic!. One of the better Greek restaurants I've been to! Don't let the suburban location fool you, this is a great eatery.
We've had the Gyros, the souvlaki, the calamari and more, and everything has been a delight.
Highly recommended!
Excellent food, beautiful decor and very reasonable prices.
Delicious food at an awesome price! if you like Greek food, you will for sure like this place. Great service from a family that makes you feel right at home!
Best Greek Food in town. Best food, best servings, best service. Warm friendly family to serve you the best greek food in the area. What a great find in Markham! 5 STARS
My personal favourites are the spinach dip, moussaka, and the pork souvlaki dinner. For appetizers, the spinach dip comes hot and gooey, and they offer the choice of grilled and/or fried pitas. The Greek fries are crisp and come with melty feta cheese. My favourite things to order for dinner are the moussaka, which is like a lasagna but with potato and eggplant instead of noodles. The pork souvlaki comes with a generous helping of tzatziki, and with the option of salad, potatoes, rice, or vegetables as your sides.
Even when I heated up the gyros and pitas at home to enjoy, it was still so delicious! I really loved the taste of the gyros. I highly recommend this dish if you visit Loui’s! In future visits, I’d love to try more of their food and especially the desserts!
The tzatziki is delicious and the portion is generous. It is refreshing, light, yet addicting - beware, consuming this appetizer without caution may lead it become your actual entree. What's amazing that it also tastes great with the souvlaki or the complimentary garlic bread (not pictured - but delicious!) if you have any left when those arrive.
Verdict: super delicious! They had options to have a small plate or a large plate, and these were all small plates!! They give a really generous portion for everything. The pork was a little dry, but other than that, everything was absolutely delicious. So if you're in the area looking for a good little sit down restaurant and craving some tzatziki sauce.. Try this place out!
Next time you're in the mood for Greek food, head over to Loui's cause you won't be disappointed but make sure you make a reservation if you come on a weekend for dinner cause every time I pass by, it's pretty packed.
Loui`s Kouzina is hidden, small Greek family owned restaurant in the plaza at Woodbine and 16th. I can`t believe I never notice this place before since I do come to this plaza for Lunch quite often. They have an open kitchen where you can see all the food being prepare although the counter remind me of take-out places which I bet it is especially during Lunch hour. I really can't take credit in choosing this place this time =P It was a dinner with two friends who bought their little baby with them, so this was a rather kid friendly restaurant that the pretty mummy choose. The service was very friendly and attentive, the lovely lady keep coming back to see if we were ok although she was by herself and super busy. Village Salad (small) Plenty of feta cheese and not overly dressed like most places. Quails ~ appetizers, 2 quails marinated and grilled to order. Pork Souvlaki Large Platter This probably the best pork souvlaki I have ever had, it was charred on the outside while the inside wa
The place is filled with pictures of Greece hanging on the walls and there's an open kitchen at the back of the restaurant where you can see the cook prepare the dishes
Small plates are delicious here ! I would recommend this if you are hungry !
Portions are well sized at the price. My go to place for souvlaki dinner around the area. Very home style. A++.
I chose pork souvlaki on a bun and it was generally good, but the pork pieces are somewhat on the small side and a little chewy; it's hard to find good pork souvlaki.
The tzatziki was actually quite good, which is something that I find can be a real hit or miss item. I'll visit again but next time it'll be the chicken souvlaki or gyro in a pita.
**Update: After another visit, I had the small plate chicken souvlaki with the roasted potatoes. The chicken was tender and flavourful, the potatoes could use more salt and pepper, but overall the food was good and the serving is quite large, excellent value for the money. I've upgraded my review to four stars.
Whenever I crave Greek I crave this place! Made to order meat, succulent, and delicious! Their pork is my favorite, has the right amount of fat!
Prices are reasonable too, I believe ownership changed a few years ago, but the cooks appear to be the same, so the food is still top notch. We've been going for years!
I give them 9/10!

These pictures are from a pre-covid dining experience but I have also purchased takeout from them a few times during the pandemic as well!
I really liked going here with my coworkers when I used to work nearby because the pottions served here are HUGE 🥳
-[TARAMOSALATA] $7.50
It looks like a pink paste/goo haha but don't be scared! The reason for its color is because it is made out of a blended combination of red fish roe, extra virgin oil, garlic, and lemon juice!
It is also served with grilled pita slices 🤤 This is definitely a saltier dish that they serve but I honestly love how much of the taramosalata that they give! I love spreading it on a freshly toasted piece of bread 🍞
-[CHICKEN SOUVLAKI-SMALL PLATE] $14.50
So THIS is the "small" plate but I am 99% sure I was unable to finish this in one sitting 😂 because of the aforementioned large portions! Comes with TWO skewers of chicken souvlaki, a greek salad and your choice of one of the following: fries, mixed vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes!
(I highly recommend their roasted potatoes 🥔🔥)
They are extremely flavorful and just warm me right up when I eat them 🤤
Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for delicious Greek food for a good price 🤩
If you’re in the area and craving Greek food, I recommend coming here.
This restaurant is easily walked by and missed, but it’s great. The food is always cooked fresh and is consistent while the staff is friendly.
I always get the chicken souvlaki plate and I’m never disappointed with either the portions or taste.
The restaurant is small and has a bit of a wait if you come during busy time. Luckily you can do take out as well.
This is a nice place for Greek food. Best value and delicious. The grilled octopus is outstanding. We love the pork souvlaki.
One of my favourite places for Greek food uptown. Small restaurant with excellent food and great service. Great flavourful gyro that's not too salty or dry and excellent tzatziki sauce that tastes very fresh. You will want to slather it on everything.
I absolutely love this place! Best Greek food on the planet. Great prices, great food and amazing service! Servers are super friendly! Two thumbs way up👍🏻👍🏻
