This place has never disappointed. I was craving calamari and decided to go with a grilled dish. I have tried it fried and hands down its one of the best dishes in town. Grilled calamari on the other hand... not everyone can make it well, however Mezes was a winner once again! The meal portion was just enough to put you over the edge and then reel you back in for a few more nibbles! It came with 3 pieces of calamari, a side of rice and potatoes, plus a delicious salad. The calamari was fresh succulent, grilled to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning, ovo and lemon (none of that chewy, fishy business that you end up regretting at some restaurants)! I ate most of my meal with a great glass of house red wine. I packaged up a few bites for the next morning to share with my sister, so she could try. I must say, even after warming it up in the microwave, the calamari was just as good as it was the night before.... Looks like Mezes will be getting a new customer soon! #Mezes #Amazing #Bestcalamari #fried OR #grilled
I just had the most heart warming experience here. I called just after the kitchen was closed with a craving for their unbelievable dips platter. Despite the fact that all of the staff had gone home and the kitchen was closed, Tony put together the dips platter for me and fired up the grill so I could have some hot pita to go with it. There is something to say about businesses with a heart. If you haven't gone to this place, go. The service and food are top notch. Let Tony know that the girl with the late night dips craving sent you.
They treat you like family
There is a reason that this restaurant is the busiest on the Danforth. They make you feel like you have been invited to their home for dinner. The waiters have been there for years and the owner Tony is a fabulous, welcoming individual. No reason to go anywhere else in Toronto for fabulous, authentic Greek food.
We had a wonderful Greek meal with Pengi Bear ! The lamb was juicy and so good. The dips tasted homemade and I wanted to keep eating. The quail was also moist and great. And the service was tops. Lastly, I forget how to spell it, but the flaming cheese app is just hot, greasy, melty goodness!!
Most definitely my favourite Greek restaurant in Toronto!!! The food made me feel like I'm in Greece! Everything was absolutely on point. The grilled kalamari is just devine and perfectly charred! My mouth is watering just reliving it! Great wine list, got some good Greek options. Service was super friendly. LOVE! Can't wait to come back!
Greek done very well, in our opinion. Very delicious, tasty food, a nice patio on the Danforth, a wide selection of food and the option to order smaller portions of appetizers and meats as opposed to one big meal.
The chicken skewers were succulent, flavourful and cooked to perfection. The calamari was delicious! The pita that came with the hummus and potato/garlic spread, both of which were so good, was buttery and warm.
We had our fill of the variety of different foods we tried and ended up leaving overfed :)
Would definitely go back anytime!
Crowded, bustling restaurant with solid meat and seafood options. Respectable vegetarian entrées like vegetarian moussaka also make this Greek restaurant a viable option for vegetarians. Stand out is the attentive, lightning speed service. Serviceable wine list. Disappointments were Greek salad: comprised mainly of iceberg lettuce, with a few slices of cucumber, bell pepper, and some grape tomatoes tossed in a too-sour vinaigrette; interior darkness also made menu reading difficult. Our neighbouring tables used their cell phones or LED pen-lights to scrutinise the menu. My dining partner remarked that he felt the flashing LED lights made him feel as though he was being pursued by police helicopter. We had the saganaki, calamari, lamb roast and half roasted chicken entrées (both accompanied by Greek salad, roasted potatoes and rice). Seating hostess exceptional for her unflappable, friendly, efficient hospitality.
This place was really good!!!! I was very impressed by the presentation of the food and the atmosphere of the place. The service was excellent and the washrooms were clean. We ordered an appetizer which consisted of hummus and eggplant spread which tasted amazing with the garlic pita. It was the best pita I ever had in a restaurant in my life. The hummus was good too! Then I had the Greek salad which was perfect except had a little too much vinegar otherwise it was fantastic. Then I had the garlic toast which was also super yummy. My brothers soup contained chicken but I tried it anyway - avoiding the chicken piece of course - but I'm sure there was still chicken in the broth... But that was tasty as well ! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! Worth every penny!
Holy shit! 😃 this was so good. It's Greek food and so authentic. I had the chicken souvlaki, obviously, and tye chicken was so tender with the warmth of the pita... yum! We also ordered saganaki, which is a flamed cheese and they set it on fire right next to your table haha
On the third day morning, J dropped us at the Lisgar Go Train station on her way to work. We decided to stay in Toronto for shorter and ease of commute to the attractions we planned to visit. J&C, thank you so much for opening your home to us for the past two days. After settling down at the airbnb place which we got at the last minute, we walked to the St. Lawrence Market which is a short distance from our accommodation for lunch, not knowing that it is closed on Monday.
Best greek food in the area! Service was fantastic, great time sharing appetizers, the dips and calamari were Divine! Definitely coming back
Fine food, good service. Had a wonderful family dinner here. The four of us made a celebratory meal sharing a wide variety of mezes. Everyone was happy: vegan, seafood lovers, and meat-lovers alike. And no gluten was no problem. This is no small accomplishment! Service was excellent, and our server took the trouble to bring a side of hot peppers when asked, even though they aren't listed on the menu....It is worth noting that our family isn't the most traditional one, still we were treated warmly and with respect. We will definitely be returning.
What a lovely place for authentic Greek food. We went here for lunch and ordered the whole fish which was sea bream for the day. Also ordered the humus bread for starter. The bread was nice and soft although a tad bit oily. The humus was delicious.
The fish was perfectly done. We loved the barbecue flavour and it was so soft inside. However, we were hoping for a little larger fish as it felt too small for the two of us. I reckon it would be perfect for one person.
The interior is light and traditionally decorated and it really enhances the experience. Food is pricey but good.
Nice atmosphere, authentic service, food is always top of the line and relatively well priced.
Usually busy but never too long of a wait to be seated, don't feel rushed, and food comes fairly quick.
If you like Greek cuisine this is a must visit. spot on the Danforth, and with patio.
This place is SO BUSY, but the waiters and waitress never stop tending to your needs! It was amazing !
The Greek salad was great, the stuffed pastries were so good too. The chicken souvlaki dinner was yummy. Finally, I'd definitely recommend the baklava as a dessert. I'd definitely check this place out in the summertime !!!
It is a lovely Greek restaurant with very European/Greek vibe and decor! I heard their fried calamari is a must, so we ordered it as an appetizer. It is honestly my favorite calamari in Toronto thus far, and they serve it in a huge portion! We also got the dip plater as an appetizer and it is good to order if you are a group of people! As for the main, I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner. The potatoes are really good! Again, huge portions that I was not able to finish it but I did take it home and have it for lunch the next day, which is awesome! I’ll definitely come back again !!
Finding the location was very easy and parking is just around the corner. Walked in and was greeted and seated instantly. The place is alittle congested but with the pandemic it's understandable they wanna make their money back. We ordered the fried calamari which was delicious. We also ordered the musaka which was very delicious along with the lamb Slovakia which was cooked properly. Over all 4 starts I would recommend this place. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. And the desert which was baklava was delicious.
One of my favourite Greek restaurants on the Danforth, we’ve been back multiple times and loved it every time! We typically get some skewers, dips (their pita bread with the dips are THE BEST) & a salad. This time we opted out for the seafood platter, which was delicious full of shrimp, calamari and grilled octopus! It was good, but definitely a lot for 2 people!!
I had the Moussaka and it was excellent. The Zinnis Rice Special that my friend had was very tasty, nice flavours with chicken, pork, calamari, wine and fresh tomatoes. Great atmosphere and attentive staff.
I went here for a friend's birthday. It is nice little restaurant in Greek town. They have halal chicken options. Beef and lamb are not halal though. I tried the chicken soulaki. It was good. A little bland for my taste. My friend tried the Aegan fare and highly recommend it. Overall we had a good experience and food was nice as well.
