Koozina Mediterranean Cuisine

We've been buying food here for about six years and finally had them cater an event for us. Every single person ages 1-83 at our party loved the food! No complaints at all. Even my picky three year old asked for leftovers today. Reasonably priced, excellent food, and the owner is so kind and easy to deal with. He even went out of his way to check in with us after the party was over. We'll definitely be back!

FOOD:
We had come here on a Thursday evening at around 6:45 pm. I had settled on the Chicken Shawarma On A Pita ($5.25), along with Greek Fries ($2.60), while my husband had settled on the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner ($11.75). My husband's dish arrived first, with it being quite large, complete with a heaping pile of rice, large pieces of chicken, a large helping of greek salad, and one large potato in the middle of the rice. All of his items were quite good, well-prepared, and tasty however, he mentioned that it was a bit too oily, especially the salad. However, the chicken was moist (which was a bonus as chicken usually comes out dry), and the rice was flavourful. His meal also came with
two slices of pita bread, which were used to eat alongside the main dish. We were a bit confused as to why his meal only included one potato though instead of two or three.

The Chicken Shawarma On A Pita was delicious however, it was just a bit dry in some parts. I liked how it was mostly well-stuffed, coming out hot (temperature-wise), which made it taste even better. The Greek Fries were definitely something different, based on a recommendation I had read on this site. When I had received them, I was quite surprised to see that they were covered in small pieces of feta cheese, with the cheese melting on the fries throughout the meal. I LOVED the fries, one the best I have ever tasted; very crispy, and skinny, which is how I love them. I would love to try their fries without the feta cheese next time around, they definitely hit the spot!

ATMOSPHERE:
The restaurant is situated in the plaza outside of the Milton Mall. It was quite small, with a few booths and chairs. The theme of the restaurant was a bit confusing as there was a photo of a street in England, with pop music playing in the background. Also, there was no décor symbolising that it was a Mediterranean restaurant (although they specialize in Mediterranean cuisine). It was a bit cold (temperature-wise) in the restaurant as well, and there was only one other table with guests while we were there.

SERVICE:
When we had walked-in, we went up to the counter and placed our order with the girl behind the counter. She was quite friendly, asking us questions about our order before placing them. Once we had placed our order, we then sat down, then waited about twelve minutes for our items to arrive. The girl then came over to check on us as we were eating, which we thought was superb service. It seemed as though the girl, along with a young man, were cooking the items, which had a lot of love put into it.

COST:
1 Chicken Souvlaki Dinner ($11.75) + 1 Chicken Shawarma On A Pita ($5.25) + Greek Fries ($2.60) = $22.15 (Taxes Included)

WOULD YOU RETURN?
We did find most of their items very delicious (especially the fries), and would like to return again to try some of their other items. We did notice that take-out was an option therefore, we may decide on that instead as we didn’t find the atmosphere very inviting.

Great food, my kids love it! The best Mediterranean in town

Had the Gyro dinner which was a huge portion and delicious. Amazing service and food. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Really recommending it and coming back to try other options.

Visited first time and bought two falafel to give it a try. She made fresh after I ordered, tatse superb. Looks like a family owned business. Really liked it. Now I am their loyal customer.

Koozina has been our restaurant of choice since they opened. In addition we have done dozens of catering orders, each time the order is made perfectly with careful attention to details. Food quality is superb and most important service is above excellent.

The food here was absolutely delicious!! Large portions and freshly made! They were really busy with a large order when we walked in, so we had to wait a bit, but it was so worth it! Also I have to apologize to the young man working cash cuz I thought we ordered 2 water bottles but only actually paid for 1… so sorry ! but he was awesome, and gave it to me anyways cuz he didn’t want to argue… :( sorry bud! Highly recommend!
