Great little place on Bank st in Centretown.
Easy to overlook while passing by (unless you are REALLY looking, that is).
Food is excellent (fresh and tasty with bold flavours), portions are generous and prices are super-reasonable!
They play Greek music on the speakers which ads to the ambiance.
Too bad it's closed on Sundays.
Recommended!!
A friend grabbed takeout for us from here, and had recommended it to me, and my opinion of Greek food in Ottawa has been fairly low typically, so I usually don't bother. I was actually quite impressed with the food though. Bang for buck, the portions are great, especially the combos, the side salad is large enough to have on it's own as lunch the following day. I usually find rice at most place quite disappointing and "meh" but the rice here was actually quite flavourful. I'd highly recommend this place!
Excellent Food Always !!! Eat here twice a week for 5 years +. Staff are excellent and Terry the owner works the grill will with awesome staff. All family and friends I have taken there love it !
Was very pleasantly surprised by this tiny place. Grilled calamari cooked to perfection. Very tasty Greek dressing. A hidden gem in Centretown.
Most amazing meal. Skewers are perfectly seasoned and served fresh. The moussaka (special of the day) was unlike any I've ever had in a restaurant: it comes with generous and delicious layers of eggplants, zucchini, beef, topped with a gooey egg - based (?bechamel) sauce. Their salads and rice dishes are soaked in a very light and fragrant olive oil that make simple dishes taste 10x better. Don't forget to pick up a bottle of olive oil at the restaurant!
I have been to the Greek Souvlaki Shack several times (eat in and take out )and I LOVE the grilled veggie pita wrap. The large chunks of delicious eggplant, peppers, onions, etc. are wrapped in a warm, fresh pita, with just the right amount of tsatziki sauce. The baklava is amazing. The service is very friendly and fast. People who discover this gem become repeat customers....like me!!
Ordered the chicken souvlaki platter to go. It was ready really quickly and the food was amazing. Generous portion sizes, was really happy to have the large side salad in the meal, and that it was packaged separate from the hot food. Everything stayed hot during my walk back to the hotel. Will return if I'm back in town!
We came here because of the rating and it did not disappoint. This is a very small restaurant with sophisticated decor. We were here for lunch on a Friday and it was packed.
We ordered the calamari to start, and a pork gyro and chicken souvlaki platter. The food came put rather quickly but the quality was not compromised by the speed. The calamari was fresh and hot, and it was a very good portion as an appetizer. The chicken souvlaki skewer was OK, but the side dishes were delicious! There was lots of feta on the salad and the lemon roasted potatoes were great.
The service was kinda lacking as it was pretty busy and there was only 2 servers but overall a very positive experience. I'd recommend this place.
Great lunch today ! Based on Zomato reviews picked this restaurant; and group of us were all happy. Salad had a light zesty dressing and sufficient feta sprinkled all over, we all ordered chicken dishes and it was noted that it was good quality, cooked well, and tasty.
Dropped in based on the rating here and it was well deserving of the reviews! It's a quiet little joint tucked away in one of the busier sections of Bank Street with incredible service, a quaint atmosphere and incredible food. I was offered the grilled calamari platter as the special, and I was blown away by the flavour. The calamari tasted fresh and the sides were also delicious. Both came in large portions as well (see photo). I highly recommend this place if you love Greek food - you won't regret it!
Wow this place is amazing! The daughter was so friendly and gave us a bunch of tips for our visit to Ottawa. Asked for medium rare beef for my pita. Very moist and flavorful. Get it with the fathers housemade hot sauce. And the tatziki is fresh and creamy. Greek salad could feed a hungry village and dressing was zesty. Would go back if we were not leaving soon. Highly recommend with reasonable pricing.
Excellent authentic Greek food in the Ottawa region. Always a go to eats while visiting Ottawa. Almost on par with Greek town (the Danforth) in Toronto. Highly recommended.
I lived in Ottawa over the summer and me and my roommates quickly became obsessed with this place! At least one of us would pickup from here every week. The food is sooo good and the staff are also really kind and the pricing can’t be beat!
Seems to be run by a family so I was even more happy to support during these weird times. Next time I come to Ottawa I’ll make sure to pick up some food!
This place has become an almost weekly staple in our home. The food is always fresh and delicious and quick to pickup. I get the 2 skewer chicken souvlaki platter which has so much rice, potatoes and chicken (plus salad) that I intend on saving half for lunch the next day. Unfortunately, it's too good and I end up eating it all. My wife gets the grilled vegetable pita with spicy sauce on gluten-free pita. Let's just say that sauce is to die for!
Gluten-free!! If you need Celiac safe food you are in the right place. Part of the family is Celiac and so most of the food is safe by design. If you ask for extra measures, you can be assured it's safe!
Great to see this family business thrive 🙂
Tasty food! Everything was fresh. The salad was my favorite.
The platter is the best deal.
The chicken could have been more well done. I like my chicken a bit more well done.
We came into the city for a mini vacation. Found this place on Google, went in and realized they were operating mostly on a take out basis. They graciously allowed us to sit and eat. They were so sweet to our toddler. Even served us where we sat. Incredible people here. And incredible food! This will definitely be my go to everytime we visit ottawa.10/10 would recommend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! Thank you for your hospitality!
My partner and I have been ordering from here for years - I figured I should finally give them their 5 stars! We’ve introduced their food to my in-laws who are also great fans. Their food is ALWAYS fresh, plentiful, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they don’t take any corners and go the extra mile in their quality. I will always order from here over Greek on wheels or jimmy the Greek. Super happy they survived covid ❤️
This is definitely the best Greek food I have ever had. Portion sizes are so generous and tastes so fresh. Bonus that they have so many gluten free options for those with celiacs disease! They were super helpful over the phone to identify what is safe and the few options that are not gluten free. Absolutely will be ordering from here again!
