A weekend lunch was in order, so my mom and I decided on Greek. Chef Tommy's has been there for a few years, but I hadn't got the chance to go. It's not a big place, but it's cozy and tastefully decorated. . I was dying for chicken, so Chicken Souvlaki on a Pita was my choice. My mom went with the Mediterranean Grilled Sole. They both came with soup, so I had the Lentil Soup and my mom chose the Spicy Cabbage Soup. These soups are made in house and taste homemade; full of veggies and delightfully seasoned. After polishing off our soups, the entrees arrived.

When I suggested this place I was thinking souvlaki, gyros, and some decent Greek salad. I had no idea what was in store for me.
A lively decor and friendly staff, excellent wine menu, and upscale Greek inspired creations. I immediately fixated on the stuffed calamari special. It came with salad - with a spicy option that I turned down but my friend assured me I could have handled (sold to us as "not too spicy.. We are Greek, not Portuguese"), the smoothest lemon potatoes I ever had, and steamed vegetables. The calamari itself was superb. A bit chewy in a perfect way with a medley of rice, spice, and seafood inside, all of that covered by a gentle tomato sauce. It was like no other Greek food I have ever been exposed to.
Of course, I finished with baklava and coffee, both so delicious that I forgot to share. Entire meal for one person was in the forty dollar range with no alcohol, but it was worth every penny.
I will be back to try some menu items.
Have been to Tommy's twice now and hope to get there again today for my anniversary dinner! Simply put without a long story behind it ! Tommy's is really, really good food ! Of course it is Greek food and of course Greek food is great ! They have a selection of wines that compliment their food and all in all it is a great place to eat and feel the great Greek hospitality!Cheers to Tommy's Noel n Pauline Oshawa, Ontario
Decided to try this place out tonight. Almost every table was reserved being a Saturday night, but we were accommodated with a 2 hour window. Absolutely great. Service, food. 10/10. Will have to be our new place in oshawa. Suggest making a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights though.
AMAZING!. Wanted to try something new so my boyfriend and I walked into Chef Tommy's just this past Friday night. We were acknowledged immediately and given a table. The candlelight was a little touch I always appreciate. We had a server named Mike who was super professional and so much fun to talk to, but ALL the staff there were amazing. Our appetizers and entre came very quickly - we were STARVING so we really appreciated that too. The food? INCREDIBLE. FINALLY REAL FOOD. NOTHING we tried was a disappointment. I can't say enough about the quantity, the flavor. You can tell it was all fresh food and ingredients. The tzaziki was arguably the best I've had at any restaurant. It didn't taste or look like store bought sauce. We had to order extra!
Now for price: For both of us with an appetizer, extra pita, extra tzaziki, two entrees, dessert and two drinks = $60. I don't think this is unreasonable considering the quality is way better than any chain restaurant. If you went to Boston Pizza, the Keg, or East Side Mario's you would come across the same prices. Basically, you get what you pay for! We ate our faces off and still went home with leftovers. Totally worth it if you ask me.
I can't say enough about this place. I've been searching for a real good quality meal for so long which is why we were wanting to try someplace new. It exceeded expectation and needless to say I am going back!
An authentic home style Greek Restaurant great for a group or just you or a few friends. Lamb was amazing. We've been a total of 3 times each trying something different. Vegan friendly.
The place was pretty good, its was not busy. The server & the chef were very friendly. They just took over this restaurant & serving now Vietnamese cuisine, they do still keep some of the olg Greek food aswell. The was amazing& the price are reasonable. Most of the things, they are very polite & serve the food with passion. I will definitely return again to try more of their menu selections.
Ordered the Pork Soulvaki dinner ($18) which included a side ceasar salad, which I didn't get a picture of, but it was the perfect size, and delicious! This dinner included 2 skewers of meat. Definitely a large portion, I would recommend sharing if you are not so hungry. I loved how the potatoes were seasoned and cooked. Everything was very flavourful, fresh and juicy, nothing was dry or overcooked which tends to happen at some Greek restaurants.
I went with 4 other adults and one child, we all ordered a Soulvaki dinner and 2 Grilled Calamari Appetizers. Again not pictured, but definitely recommend. It was cooked to perfection, great portion, came with capers, diced onions, tomatoes and a balsamic vinaigrette at the side with cut, crisp and seasoned pita bread. All of this with 1 coke, came up to $129. We were all happy with the food as well as the service. Would definitely come back again.
Great atmosphere, great food. The lamb was perfectly cooked, tasty and soft. The greek beer was delicious. Be back for sure. Just qn advise, if you want to go during the weekend better make a reservation as it gets busy.
This place is no ordinary Greek place. You can eat many varieties of tasty home style Greek food.
Very calming ambience ! Amazing service and the chef is so humble.
It was a slow night and we were quite happy not to be rushed or in here in a busy night. The owner serves us , she was pleasant and explained the specials. I am particular about fish dishes, I took a chance on a Tommy special, it was perfect. All the meals served that night hit the spot. Good food and reasonable prices Definitely a place to get good food
