NISI Greek Taverna Burlington in Burlington

Was disappointed last night, attended for dinner with a friend, and was rushed at our table upon ordering was advised we only had 1.5 to 2 hours at our table, by this and that they would need that table we hadnt even had our appetizer yet, During the holiday seasons the reservationist answering the phone should be letting guests no of this limit so people can plan, or decide if that is what they want to do especially people not seeing each other for a while and wanting to enjoy the evening, we rushed through our app and entree was not a relaxing experience at Nisi

This used to be my favourite Greek restaurant in Burlington and we have been coming here ever since they took over this location. However, lately I ve found the service getting a bit slow and now to make things worse they ve raised their prices significantly. I now feel like I m being gouged. I guess success allowed them to raise prices so now we ll see if they remain so popular.

More than wonderful restaurant, delicious taste, more than wonderful service.

Phenomenal experience, apps were a bit smaller than I expected on portion size but the mains were large and generous. Food quality and taste were excellent, great dessert too. Highly reccomend

Kitchen can be slow. . .but food is worth the wait. Good value Greek food for sure.

If I could eat here every day I would! The food is incredible; you can tell so much care and thought is put into their food, and not to mention, the quality is fantastic. Their staff are friendly, professional, and welcoming. I recommend Nisi to anyone asking for amazing Greek food!

Typical Greek dishes revisited in Canadian style

EXITED as my BIRTHDAY finally fell on a Saturday!!! I walked in the NISI restaurant on Tuesday October 22nd 2024 and asked if they have a low table by the window for 4 people to reserve on Saturday October 26th @ 1pm for my Birthday. As I was very excited to celebrate my birthday with my husband, daughter and son. I also made arrangement after lunch to go to Toronto photography to take pictures. I had it all planned and organized my day. Now back to Tuesday October 22nd as I walked in NISI Greek Restaurant I was greeted by this lady with a nice smile and I asked if they have the low table by the window available to accommodate 4 people as I do not like high tables, for October 26th. She very politely said let me check for you, and Yes the low table by the window is available for you and I will put your name down and I will also write that it is you Birthday! I see her put my name down on their laminated table map sheet with her marker and I was very excited to sit at this table particularly with big widow as it will be lots of light for my pictures to come out very clear for my birthday. I ve thanked her many times as I was very excited! Now, on October 26 we were all ready, exited and hungry to eat, we walked in and they ask for our reservation name and I said I said my name, and I said, I have that table reserved by the window . This waitress who happen to work on October 26th is telling me that my reservation table has been moved to high table by the entry door. I didn t like it at all, and I asked to speak to the waitress who had helped me reserve the table. They told me that she isn t working today and they had to move me to accommodate a large group of people. Very frustrated, I asked to go and sit at the table where I had reserved as I saw no one sitting there at that moment, I also told them that I had booked this table since October 22nd and specifically told the waitress that It s my birthday and I like low tables. They kept saying I am sorry, that table is not available anymore for you, you can sit at this table if you would like . It was high table by the entry door where everyone constantly goes in an out. So frustrated, hungry and now angry, because I had reserved it 4 days ago and they could have called me and let me know so I can make different arrangement if I decided not to stay. And also that I was put by the entry door on a high table as I specifically mention few times that I do not like high tables. And there I was on my birthday with my family by the door and treated like I was nobody! My daughter kept telling me that s Okay mom just forget it and sit here, but I was so disappointed that my whole mode just changed because the way we got treated so bad and the way I ve imaged my afternoon to be has just switched like I was nobody and they thought they could put me where ever they like. They made me feel less than an animal on my birthday. My husband saw clearly on my face how bad I was feeling and said, hey hun it s your decision. So I made the decided to leave. Now, all hungry and frustrate, we were trying to look were to go and eat. All good restaurants would start @ 4pm or you need reservation. My daughter got frustrated with me as she is young and didn t understand how I was feeling, even though I tried to explain it to her. All frustrate and angry all four of us could not agree where to go and eat and we end it up at Harvey s restaurant as the children were starving at this point and my son kept saying please just let s go somewhere and eat. We also had to decide fast because our photography appointment in Toronto was @ 530pm and we didn t know how the traffic would be. And the children s mode changed the family pictures weren t as I expected because of irritable feeling we experience at NISI Greet Taverna restaurant. Thank you NISI Greek Taverna FOR RUINING MY BIRTHDAY!!!!0

The food today was excellent. As was the service. The lighting, however, made for an overall bad experience. The interior fixtures have clear glass shades with bright white bulbs. Ive been in the past and not found these lights as uncomfortable as today. Wherever glass shades are used, the bulbs should always be vintage. To make matters worse, the bright bare bulbs outside on the overhead sign were on, despite the daylight. While they have been mood killers on the patio since their installation, some are visible from inside the restaurant too. It was rather like eating in the path of a headlight. Anyone at all sensitive to bright light or picky about atmosphere, should avoid this restaurant.

Had a nice dinner at NISI. The bruschetta and garithes were fantastic starters. The chicken souvlaki on a skewer along with roasted vegetables were okay - nothing too mind-blowing. The moussaka was great too. We could tell the service was having some challenges keeping up with the demand. However, it took a while just to get our waters replenished. Overall, would go again!

They have amazing vegetarian options too. Each dish is curated to perfection and its great value for money. We have been here a couple of times and will keep going whenever we crave Greek food!

Piece of advice? teach your hostess how to talk to guests. She is your interface, the first point of contact and such a disgraceful interaction? Costs you customers.

Food and service were amazing, beautiful to see the water with a nice patio! Both the Salmon and Lamb sooo soo good!! 100% worth checking out, I will be back! Nov 2024- back today and they were busy but the staff were great and the food was amazing!!

Loved the experience of trying the food there . Very clean and the server is so polite and professional. The food was so delicious

Such a delicious Greek restaurant! The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I really suggest the Bruschetta, Creek Burger and Cheese Cake. Hands down, some of the most delicious food Ive eaten lately!

Great food, unfortunately the hostess was xenophobic and did not let us get a table at first. Only after we talked to the manager, we were able to sit. Note: we had a reservation and the restaurant was not busy at the time. Sunday, Sep 22nd, 2:48pm.

Food and drinks was so fantastic, I didnt expected. Parking: Its near to the restaurant Food : 5/5 |

Amazingly yummy food! Big food portions. Amazing view of the Burlington waterfront. Friendly hospitality and ambience. Would highly suggest!

Amazing Greek restaurant in downtown lakeshore Burlington. Great ambiance, great service, great food. Was recommended by a Greek friend and boy NISI did not disappoint. Apps are on point, light and fresh calamari, awesome dips, and we shared a chicken souvlaki which was absolutely delicious. Great service by Tim and team!! Thank you guys and keep up the great food and service

Best Greek Food In Town

What an excellent dinner! First time going to this restaurant. We ordered the hummus with pita which was delicious! We both had the chicken souvlaki with the Greek salad and Greek roasted potatoes. I have to say this is the best Greek meal we ve had in years! Food was hot, full of flavour, chicken is tender with two generous skewers. Our server was super efficient and did a great job. I can t say enough good things about this place. Food is superior to both Sortiris and Mythos. Only complaint is mostly high top tables so your legs dangle when you have short legs We will definitely return!

Service and food was amazing! Awesome location. The only thing is parking but its downtown Burlington. Food

Came in for a glass of wine, the staff are so accommodating. Wonderful place I love it here

Juicy souvlaki, mouthwatering tzatziki, crispy baklava

This restaurant is simply incredible. The location, beautiful view, our servir was the best. The food is sensational: we had the Tiganiti Feta and the Gyro Dinner.

First time trying this place for lunch and we were not impressed Very nice staff but messed up our order my spouse ordered a greek salad and calamari They brought the calamari and a SIDE greek salad my partner said I ordered a greek salad and calamari not calamari and a side salad Mixup was corrected quickly I asked for ice water and when our server came to ask how the food was I said I m still waiting for my ice water Now the food- calamari was very oily I even asked what type of oil it was cooked in because of the oily taste never did get an answer. I had one piece my spouse did eat the rest but said never would she order it again My pork souvlaki was great the greek salad dressing (for me) has too much thyme in it After we left I did tell my honey I wanted to go back to try the lamb shank for dinner some evening lol

I was very disappointed. I saw this restaurant on CHCH and thought wow. Now that s a Greek salad and calamari. When I got my salad it looked nothing like the one on CHCH. It was small and crammed into a small bowl. The calamari was greasy and small Food

No nonsense Greek restaurant at the corner of Lakeshore and Locust St. in downtown Burlington. Normal quiet music and ambience - classy - the food is always delicious, the staff smart and friendly, and it s a perfect place to take your dusty boyfriend

I had a fantastic time on Saturday night for date night! Our server Julie was amazing and went above and beyond to make the experience even better. Her attention to detail, menu knowledge and friendliness made us feel right at home We followed her recommendations and got the saganaki, calamari and a platter (which were all a 10/10) Great recommendations and even better service Thanks again Julie, we will be back soon!!

First time in the area, pleasantly surprised. This was more authentic than what I am used too and I really enjoyed it. Pricing was decent too for the quality of the food. Food

I would rate it the best Greek food in town.

Great food and nice atmosphere. Meghan provided kind and speedy service.

First time visit with two couples and I had mixed feelings. The food itself is very good quality. Generous portions in both the Gyro and Souvlaki dishes with fantastic roasted potatoes. My bone to pick was for a $2.50 & tax SURCHARGE for a measly condiment ( hot sauce). This floored me and soured my whole opinion of this restaurant. Whats next as a cash grab?? , a surcharge for salt & pepper ? How about Ketchup? Wont be back because of this pettiness

Service was very good, patio over looking Lake Ontario was fantastic, the beer was ice cold, Food was plentiful, however the beef and lamb gyro meat was the Chicago style Gyro meat which is processed style vs from fresh meat. More like spam type meat

Passing through Burlington for one night, pleasant surprise from this restaurant, Generous and fresh meals, the portions are very generous, It is nice to be able to eat vegetables, meat and fish after having scoured fast food, Our choice fell on the moussaka accompanied by Greek salad and the grilled salmon! Excellent ! You can go there with your eyes closed

amazing taste

Good was excellent. Best Ive ever had

Best greek food in Burlington. Hands down!!

The food was amazing and Julie looked after us really well, bringing extra jalapeños on request. It was lovely sitting on the patio watching the world go by at Burlington Lakeshore Vegetarian options: The Tiganiti Feta was wrapped in filo and grilled with honey and sesame seeds. Absolutely delicious.

Amazing Greek food. Hands down, worth the price. The patio was lively and vibrant but, it s Burlington. There s always a few douche bags driving super loud cars when you re trying to eat. No one cares about your car.

Food and service was amazing. We googled restaurants in downtown Burlington and I m glad we chose this. We were impressed by how good the food tasted and portions. Food didn t feel heavy afterwards and just felt right. We will definitely come back again.

No need to go to the Danforth for Greek food, Nisi s has amazing food. if you want Greek food this is the place to go. Staff and owners were friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was great, sat on the patio, great view of the lake. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and I most definitely will come back.

Very poor and unprofessional service. Waited for 20 minutes for the waitress to acknowledge us and take our order. They just walk past you and ignore you. After 45 minutes of waiting for our food we asked when it will be coming which resulted in the owner coming out and yelling at us and creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Rude and unprofessional owner. I will never come back.

Very disgusting service. Sat down at 7pm. By 7:45 we asked kindly if our food was coming shortly which in turn had the manager come and talk to us in a very condescending way and when asked why three tables who ordered after us got their dinner and finished eating before us she ignored that question. Owner came out yelling and raising his voice at us which made for a very uncomfortable environment for us and surrounding diners. Wont be back and i recommend others dont either unless they like abuse and entitlement.

Had a very wonderful dinner! The patio is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Food was delicious - recommend the saganaki

extremely condescending to customers and not worth it, could name far better greek restaurants in hamilton

First time visiting Toronto and the surrounding areas. Staying local and was recommended this restaurant. Great recommendation as the food was outstanding, service was friendly and excellent, and they know how to make a proper old fashioned.

This restaurant was amazing, not far from my home at all and has a great view of the bustling street beside lakeshore. I went and dined in the patio during the ribfest and this food paired with the live music was wonderful. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and the patio is no different. I ve lived in burlington for a while and a couple restaurants have passed through here but let me tell you this one is the best one. The food is wonderful and served warm with amazing flavour, I tried a few things but noteably the bruschetta was warm and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant to any one in burlington looking for some good and affordable food. Not to mention this is one of the few greek restaurants you will find here in burlington so come eat here while you can, you wont regret it!

Very slow service. Greek salad basically a garden salad. Only one olive. Very few fries, Ive made better souvlaki at home (Im not greek). Ive never left a review, until now. Also parking is a huge problem. Not likely to return ever.

TRY SOUVLAKI CHICKEN WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND RICE . KILLING . NICE PRICE AND FOOD

Staff really great, atmosphere on the outside tables in summer like being on the Med. somewhere, smooth with a capital smo! One small criticism, the taramasalata, really aint taramasalata! Hey ho, choose another dip.

As always, Nisi was amazing. Introduced my kids and my mom to Nisi this weekend, and they loved it too. Best calamari in Burlington!

Best food I will deffo go back. Generous amount of food and Baklava is amazing See you soon Food

Was promised birthday cake and candle, and it never happened

Missed birthday cake even it was promised when reserved

yummy yum yum

Nisi Greek taverna, is owned by a chef that is so passionate about his quality and his food. It brings him pride and joy to own this restaurant, EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING is made fresh. Nothing is pre made . Nisi is 10000% worth going to. Not just for the food but for the people that own it. There is no one more passionate about their jobs. They constantly put their heart and soul into it and working over time to do so. The food is spectacular. A MUUUST try!!!

So disrespectful

Proportions are huge and food is well seasoned. Perfect for the price, definitely recommend!

Delicious Greek restaurant overlooking the lake, with patio, pleasant atmosphere, good service and price according to the place.

SERVICE-I went there for dinner with my family last night ,starting from the table they sat us as soon as we sat bunch of employees decided to sit right beside our table while we were eating we felt very uncomfortable watched by several employees who were folding the cutlery and chit chatting with each other very loud I mean why couldn t they respect our space and privacy at last We had to get our table moved .Then for my toddlers they didn t provide us the kids cutlery I had to ask them for that. FOOD-Thirdly,We ordered the seafood platter Which now they start charging $79 which is not worth the price ,you loot at it and decide if this platter is worth $80 really !!!!! We were very disappointed with the service, and over priced food ! I will give 4 out of 10 and will never go back to the restaurant again who give you attention according to your race !

From appetizers to dinner options. It s all incredible. Definitely Burlingtons best Greek food.

My new greek gem worth every bite! Even when I walked in late, right before last call, this place didn t miss a beat. The atmosphere was spot on, the service was exactly what it should be friendly and on point. But the food? Amazing. You know a place is solid when the salad alone earns a 5-star in my book. Thank you real value and service are hard to find these days. Send love to the chef in the back

Great service and the food met or exceeded my expectations. I am of Greek descent, so the bar was really high.

Finally a very good restaurant, at an affordable price, which allows you to eat something other than pizza, burgers, poutine and co...here on the contrary we find Greek food and its varied vegetables, it feels really good after 1 week at Canada! for my part, excellent grilled octopus and a very good chicken souvlaki with rice and grilled vegetables! I particularly recommend it to passing French people like me....Thank you NISI!

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend for the very first time today, actually it was first for both of us! Our server Vanessa was amazing and just exuded positive energy! We just had a couple of appetizers and a glass of wine, but the food was delicious! I highly recommend this place and I cant wait to go back and try some different foods!!

Nice people, staff very friendly. Food was very good, quite impressed. Had a gyro on a pita and it was nice and subtle, not as strong-flavoured as so many others. Good amount, not too much, didnt need a nap after. Would certainly return.

We came to this taverna for mezze. We ordered the fried calamari. The pieces were good sized with a Panko style coating but was overdone (rubber band like chewy). We also ordered the kafteri and was well presented but didn t come with pita. We asked but they said pita didn t come with it. The gyro and it is the formed cone (North American) style gyro. The cost of the meal was overpriced for what was ordered. Great location!

Excellent food, service and view

The chicken soup was amazing! Special thanks to Taelen for her service and gelato recommendations. She went out of her way to help us!

Fantastic experience here tonight! Service was great and quick. Portions were a great size and everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend going to Nisi for a great dinner. Will be back!

Food & service 5*

We ordered Chicken souvlaki and Moussaka. Both meals were really good, however being a busy day (Canada Day) the wait was very long. Service was great and the patio seating was perfect for such a beautiful day!

I never make reviews but today just did it. I just came to this restaurant and the food was okay but the manager had such an attitude! We came to the restaurant and didn t even get water.. I had to ask for water 20 minutes in because we didn t like the drink one of the drinks we got.. the server told the manager what I said and the manager had an attitude saying if someone doesn t like their drink that is on them . No customer service what so ever, she looked over at me and rolled my eyes LOL what a trip. I will never be back because I don t have time for someone to be disrespectful when I m raising a concern. I never told the manager I wanted it deducted in the first place so her attitude was not needed. Also on top of this when we called to make a reservation we were not told that the menu would be changed to accommodate the long weekend. Definitely a disappointment.

Great food and service. Friendly waitress

Enjoyed sitting outside with a view of the water. Super friendly staff and delicious food. Good portions.

Excellent service and delicious food everytime we visit!

Great service and delicious food! I love food that is well seasoned and marinated for a long time and the food here tasted exactly that way. I ll be back!

Loved this place! Food is amazing and servers are great too

Travelled from Kingston Ontario to Hamilton and this was so worth it! Will definitely back! Vivian I believe her name was so sweet to us and helped us feel at home

This place is amazing. I am going to be dreaming about the grilled calamari for days. Highly recommend the souvlaki, and the baklava is 10/10. We had fantastic service as well. We will be back.

Best greek food in Burlington. Prime location in downtown across the street from the lake. Food comes fresh and pretty fast, service is great.

Loved the Gyro and Chicken Souvlaki! Great flavors, melted in your mouth! Recommend them for patio dining!

Wow! It s like upscale Greek food without being snooty. Portions are large. food is DELICIOUS. Atmosphere is great. Service is fantastic! I m so glad this restaurant is in downtown burlington. Check it out! You won t be disappointed. I cannot wait to return.

I came to Bailington from Hong Kong to travel to Beautiful Town and the food and service very good Food : 5/5

Nice quality of food in town but too bad the choices of side dishes are limited and no lamb souvlaki on skewer yet.

NISI Greek Taverna Burlington is a culinary adventure not to be missed! The flavors are bold and authentic, the appetizers are divine, and the land platter with chicken and gyros is simply mouthwatering. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. If youre looking for a taste of Greece in Burlington, this is the place to be!

Amazing food. Tried the chicken souvlaki and gyro. Hosts were awesome. Shout out to Ahmed! Waitress seemed uninterested but everyone else was great.

The food quality is very great and the portion is generous. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit downtown Burlington. I have 2 feedbacks: 1. This is a Greek restaurant and the most authentic salad is Greek salad obviously however, there is only ONE black olive in the salad! I checked with my friends and they all got only one olive. I mean the signature of a Greek salad is the olive and its missing! I checked with the watress and they mentioned they noticed it too but still no change! 2. There is no Greek or any types of music at the background. It gives the vibe that you are in a casual restaurant even though it can be a nice dine in date night place. It takes away from the vibe of the Greek restaurant! Otherwise, everything else is amazing! Service and food and value for the food are great as well.

Pleasant addition to a chìc Burlington waterfront. Prime real estate, so unluckily, a little cramped. Loved the lamb pita. Friendly staff.

The best beef souvlaki I ve ever had! So flavourful, so tasty and perfectly seasoned. We had dinner on the patio, the weather was lovely, the servers were very attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Three of us went for lunch. We had wonderful soup and spanakopita as well as a delicious steak sandwich. The portions were generous and the service excellent.

I ordered from Uber Eats. So impressive! Fresh, (everything made in-house I m certain), beyond delicious- honestly, I wanted to lick the containers clean, generous portions - lucky me, I got to savour it all again the next day. Super happy to have this place available here in Burlington. YUM!!!

We hosted our son s and daughter in law s wedding rehearsal here last night. Vivian was in constant contact with me to ensure everything was perfect for the special night. It was a great spot, food and drink superb, and the staff were so attentive. Would highly recommend Nisi for a dinner on their patio or for hosting a party! Thanks for a beautiful night Nisi

If you havent tried this restaurant you are missing a lot of flavour. Simply delicious! The place is beautiful, the sitting outside in front of the lake is phenomenal. portions are generous and service is outstanding. Reasonably priced Will definitely come back Food

Nisi probably offers the best, most authentic, and delicious Greek food in the entire GTA. Hands down, it s the best Greek restaurant in the area. Additionally, the owners and their staff are all awesome people to deal with. If you haven t tried their food, you re totally missing out and I highly recommend it.

Would go back

Amazing food and experience. The highlight of the evening was Katy who gave us phenomenal service. The flaming cheese was soo good. I will be back very soon!!

Wow! Is all I can say we came here all the way from Peterborough Ontario. And truly the most authentic Greek cuisine we have had since our trip to Santorini Island. Compliments to the chef. Our server Kady was amazing !

Holy cow, NISI takes Greek cuisine to the next level! The reviews are correct, best Greek restaurant in town and hard to get a reservation for. The chicken souvlaki was great, tender, and juicy, the apps were phenomenal as well and well sized, dont skip on the flaming cheese! My only tip is to order extra pitas, the amount that comes with the dip is not enough but dont worry, the extra pitas didnt cost a lot. Great place!

Beautiful restaurant, staff and location. However, we found their food quite salty overall, both times that we visited. For this reason, we will not be returning.

The food served to my family looked nothing like the pictures on their menu. Its a lovely looking place. However the food is subpar. For example they use the frozen chicken skewers from Costco or Walmart the michalego style brand...the meat has zero taste and the fries provided were not fresh cut like in their pictures. For the prices its a total rip off. Burlington has ton of other Greek options were they use fresh ingredients and not premade mechanical food out of a bag. Do not recommend.

No doubt the best chicken soulvaki I ve ever had. Sara was an amazing server. Highly recommend dining here

Katy was the best server Ive ever had!! And the food was spectacular we had the arni and the spanikopita it was the best Greek food in town !!!

One of my new fav spots downtown Burlington now. Unlike the place next door p*****woods the quality and flavour of the food is delish. The Greek fries were strange, it s weird to put tomato. Everything else was great. Not a huge wine selection but, the atmosphere and food makes up for it.

I went for an office get together, 6 people and we all were pleased with each meals. Delicious and good portion of food. I ordered a couple of main dishes, shrimp, chicken that comes with two sides, and a Cesar salad with a chicken filet. Lastly the baklava was delicious, a little sweet for my taste but still amanzing.

The service is incredible! The food is some of the best Greek cuisine I ve ever had! Food

First time visit - will be going back. Great food, drinks and exceptional service. Looking forward to warmer weather to sit on the patio with the view of Lake Ontario. Only complaint is the bar tables - not great for 4 people tad tight with the way the 4 legs are on the outside.

Wow, what a restaurant. From the location, view, atmosphere, staff, food, price Nisi is the best restaurant I ve ever been to. I consider myself a foodie therefore don t give that statement lightly. Our group decided to get the majority of the apps and share prior to our main and they were all outstanding. Specifically the Dolma and the Calamari were my favourites but they were all unreal. Our main was to die for. The service was outstanding. Such a great spot and their patio view looks incredible. You must dine here.

We got lucky and were seated promptly without a reservation at 7pm on a Friday. The waitresses and service was impeccable. Could not have asked for more. The food came super hot and very quickly. Everything was delicious! Pr9ces are very reasonable too. Highly recommend. The baklava and ice cream dessert was tastey. The saganaki flaming cheese was ro die for.

Definitely

First time dining at Nisi and it was worth the effort. Our mains were chicken souvlaki and the moussaka. Both absolutely delicious. We loved the decor and ambiance. Staff were helpful and efficient, adding to a really great Sat evening dinner. We had 1 starter, 2 mains,1 dessert, sparkling water and 1 red wine, and with service tip were just over $100. Well definitely be returning.

One of the best Greek meals I ve had. Chicken souvlaki is a must get!!!! Amazing location and beautiful restaurant with amazing view of the water. Food was outstanding definitely will be coming back. Service was impressive and very attentive. Great overall experience, would highly recommend!

Good food good drinks and our server Kalyan was great as well

Excellant Food and Service

Visited Nisi for the first time last night. Great location. Parked for free at the burlington parking garage across the street which was convenient. Before we even sat down, the host made sure to tell us that the allowed time for dinner was 2 hours ?? We felt rushed having to order immediately pretty much. We had gone out with friends we didnt see in a while. It was busy but I didnt appreciate being told we had a 2 hour window. Maybe something to adress with the staff. The waitress kept coming to see us (a bit too much) and made us feel rushed to finish. The Saganki is a must to order .. very yummy. We had the moussaka, chicken souvlaki with roasted potatoes and gyros with roasted potatoes. The food was delicious. The roasted potatoes however are better at Mythos (more zesty and tender). Overall nice ambience and a great location would love to go back. Just drop the 2 hour window notice as youre seating your guests down.

Enjoyed a satisfactory dining experience at Nisi Greek Restaurant. The food was tasty, and the menu offers a variety of Greek dishes. Service was acceptable, though not exceptional. Overall, a solid choice for a casual meal in downtown Burlington.

Highly recommend.

Came in at 7pm on Saturday night with no reservation. As we would expect, no tables were available so we sat at the bar. This did not detract from our experience whatsoever. If anything, we were getting our drinks immediately which was a massive bonus! The food was exceptional - we shared the from land platter between the two of us. It was extremely tasteful and also filling! The service was great, with a really friendly and positive environment. We would definitely come here again, and most likely will do.

Excellent Service and great tasting food.

Excellent Greek Food! I havent had Greek food this good in a long time. I cant wait to return Food : 5/5

Have heard numerous great things about NISI, went for the first time with my wife last night and I must say the food and overall vibes are tremendous. The portions are generous and the flavour is off the charts. My wife and I started off with the Greek fries and they were amazing, followed by chicken souvlaki dinner for each of us. The chicken was juicy and full of flavour, the portions were great for the price point. Tried the desert Ekmek for the first time and I was not disappointed, we will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

Stopped by for a Valentine s Day date, our host Ahmad was extremely accommodating and funny. He recommended the souvlaki and the saganaki which were both excellent. Excited to come back here!

i was Israeled from this beautiful table with view to the lake shore Burlington. I ordered and paid for my dinner and asked to keep my beer and a table with food with the view during my girlfriend pik up ride around. When i came back my table with a view was taken by other clients. waitress offered me to seat in front of this table without a view. didn t liked it at all. Expensive and consider-less place. Not recommended.

I went for dinner with my friend ans we had such a great experience. Food was so delicious and service was amazing! The place is so cute. Definitely coming back and will recommend it to others. Best Greek food in town

We visited Nisi on Saturday night and it was amazing. The best greek food in town. Appetizers were delicious, actually everything was unreal. The moussaka was over the top!!! Would highly recommend Nisi, welcome to Burlington.

Best Greek restaurant in Burlington! Food is delicious, big portions, fair prices, staff is very nice, beautiful atmosphere...I can go on and on about Nisi, Definitely my favorite restaurant and I would highly recommend Food

We dined at NISI for the first time (January, 2024). We had a fabulous meal. We shared a few appetizers (Saganaki is a must) and we had the souvlaki and gyro as our main dishes. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Very authentic Greek food! We will definitely dine at NISI again.

Lovely location, I liked the music. Food was above average but nothing amazing. Calamari- chewy / tzaziki- good/ Burger- good/ Chicken souvlaki - ok/ Service - terrible. Unfortunately, our waiter decided to disappear. We waited a long while before we had to flag down someone to get us the bill and a takeout container. It took forever for the waiter to appear and bring the payment machine, but no container. He said he was going to grab the container and then disappeared inside for several minutes. We went inside only to see he was making a drink. We had to ask another person, again, to get us the container to go, which took a couple more minutes. No apologies or acknowledgement of the poor service. Not impressed with this place.

The food was fantastic!! We had the saganaki, the vegetable skewer, and the pork souvlaki - all were very flavourful and delicious

Decided to take my date here and was greeted with a warm welcome and friendly service. After we were seated, our waiter, Luke, showed up. This gentleman greeted us with a smile only Michaelangelo himself could have carved. It was as if Thor himself, birthed a child in his image. It was at this point that I was worried Luke might actually steal my date. I needed to act fast. So I broke the tension with a joke. Luke laughed, then my date laughed, then I laughed, then Luke gave me a thumbs up, as if to say, shes all yours pal, and gave me the nod of approval. Needless to say, my date went well, thanks Luke, youre the best wingman ever! 10/10 would risk having my date stolen from Luke again. Fantastic service, wonderful staff, and great atmosphere.

Fantastic Greek food in beautiful downtown Burlington. Highly recommend! We were so excited to see this place open up earlier this year and have been many times, always recommending it to others. Date night, dinner with friends, business dinners, takeout etc. This place is the perfect spot to grab lunch or dinner. Food

I came for dinner on the weekend and had a fantastic experience! Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious and our service was excellent! Our waitress, Julie, was attentive, friendly and didn t make us wait for anything :) Sure to be back!

Food was great and service was even better. Such good portions and so tasty. definitely will be coming back!

We came here for the first time for my birthday dinner, and from when we walked in to when we walked out, had nothing but a wonderful experience. The vibe, drinks, and service are amazing, and we had the most delicious chicken souvlaki- not to mention the portions are huge. Shoutout to our server Sam who checked on us, made delicious drinks and served with a smile. Thank you!

Great place to have greek food. Food is great but its a little salty and oily (to my taste) everyones different. Otherwise its great! Our hostess was so sweet and knowledgeable. Will go back for sure.

Food is fantastic and at great prices. Very friendly staff and great location! Highly recommend

I agree with everyone that says run dont walk to Nisi. I am so happy to have a Greek restaurant downtown, especially the best Greek restaurant in Burlington! I could eat here everyday. The food is fresh, delicious and full of incredible flavour. The service is just as perfect as the food. This is the place to go when youre downtown!

Amazing food and amazing service. I recommend sitting outside on their patio.

Second visit here after a good experience left all 4 of us disappointed. Dolmades had been reheated one too many times and were unrecognizable. Chicken over cooked. Everything very salty. On the plus side, nice choice of draft beers and the bartender made a wonderful sangria. Very nice patio facing the lake.

Went with my family in a group of 12. New place with a big patio space accommodating decent number of seats. We ordered pita and 3 dips for starters and most of the mains for the table. Food was excellent, especially their sides and dips. The server forgot few of our drinks and had to remind her of our order. But that s alright with a big group of ppl.

Great place for a sit down dinner, hospitality was great, food was excellent and atmosphere was great UNTIL we were paying for our meal. The owner or manager (I assume) was literally lambasting an employee in front of the entire restaurant by the bar and it was so bad even our waitress apologized profusely to us for this rather awful outburst. If you have a problem with an employee, take it to the back and when youre making so much noise in the restaurant that paying customers stop eating because you cant control yourself isnt a good look regardless of your position.

This place is good for I ve had better Greek food also the prices is high for Greek food

Its our 4th time being here and we havent been disappointed. Were already making plans to bring family here for special occasions.

Excellent food and service! We visited Greece last summer and the food at Nisi is as authentic as it gets! We ll definitely be back!! Our family of 5 left with happy bellies ;) Kudos to the chef!

Came in for the first time to this restaurant I heard a lot of great things about it from previous family members and friends also over social media I have to say handsdown one of the most beautiful nice clean inside atmospheres I ve ever been to in a restaurant I had the pleasure of meeting the owner himself I have to say I m very proud to see someone from my own country to have such a great establishment from a successful restaurant wishing him all the best and would definitely recommend this restaurant a 10 out of 10 best Greek restaurant I ve been to in many many years amazing food amazing service keep up the great work

Thank you Nisi for an amazing evening with my family! We loved sitting outside and enjoying the view and the weather. Kylie was the sweetest, cant say enough about her! The food is so delicious and yummy. The Greek wines are so good and of course we got a chance to meet the owners and rest of staff as they all personally came to sing happy birthday with a dessert (no one even told them, they just figured it out :) loved this place and wish them the best of luck in this new beautiful Taverna.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Nisi. Our server, Kaylan provided us with a 5 star dining experience. Good food and great drinks made up for a fantastic night on the patio. I highly recommend everybody share this experience.

I had a fantastic time at nisi! Food is amazing and our server Larken was great! Definitely coming back

Been here multiple times and honestly the best Greek food I ve had in Canada. Reminds me of my travels to Greece. The tzatziki is so good highly recommend!

Delicious highly recommend

Fantastic food, drinks, and waitstaff.

Great seafood! Amazing dessert!

I will say that the food was really good. However, I came to celebrate my birthday with friends and family and there were a lot of issues. We were sat at a table that had a leak dripping onto it from the AC. Rather than moving us, we were just told that this happens once in a while and thats that. We had to move the tables on our own so that my husband didn t get dripped on all night. The server only took app orders for one half of the table, didn t even ask myself or the other half if we wanted apps- I really wanted to try the spanakopita- and then when she came back for main orders she kept passing me and my husband up and asked 3 times does anyone else need to order? We kept saying yes, us. We then ordered two of the same glasses of wine and were given very different amounts and then were told I was given the wrong wine which I think was just an excuse to cover the blunder. Anyway like I said the food was very good but I don t think they are used to having parties of 10+ people because the service was pretty bad.

Ideal location on lake but busy road..lovely decor and food was tasty

Great food and service. Waiter and hostess were friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and portions were generous. Really great experience. We had one of the platters between two people and had loads of food leftover. The pitas were the best I ve ever had (seasoned and crispy - so good). Greek salad was super fresh and delicious. Good to have the waterfront trail across the road because chances are you will want to take a long walk after the meal.

Nisi outdid their selves with amazing SERVICE AND FOOD Real authentic Greek food!!! Job well done!! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you for making my Fiancés bday one to remember

Came here a few weeks ago. Booked a reservation for outside patio and upon arrival was told the reservation was for inside. Host was rude maybe having a bad day. Food tasted old, dry chicken souvlaki and rice was definitely microwaved as it was clumpy. Young man servicer was quick and helpful which is unfortunately the only positive thing to say about this place. Location is great, but I dont expect this place to stay open.

Amazing staff makes your visit very special. The food is of the highest quality and expertly prepared. An excellent choice for any occasion. Parking: Parking on the weekend in lot is free

I m surprised this place is still in business with the management it is under. After having a pleasant meal with 3 others, we went to use the washroom and were scolded and told that the washroom was for paying customers only. We were accused of not being customers. This was done by the same person who had seated us at the table. Turns out this was the manager who treated us with the utmost disrespect, and we will never be coming back. I can t believe this is how patrons are treated at this establishment. This is no reflection of the servers who were waiting on us, they were extremely kind throughout the meal and apologetic about the dictator running the restaurant.

We just got back from a couple weeks in Greece and this location is serving up some great authentic dishes. Excellent meal and atmosphere.

10/10 I dined here yesterday and everything was perfect! I was amazed by how well prepared the food was! Chefs kiss. Our server was also amazing and recommended a nice Pinot Grigio that wasn t on the menu to go with my meal. I don t usually write reviews but was eating a piece of the potato I brought home and reminisced on how good everything was. Can t wait to return! Unfortunately I didn t take photos but I had the trio dip and pita and the chicken souvlaki with potatoes and Greek salad.

We were 8 guys/team mates who attended Nisi Greek Taverna on Friday Oct 13. We reunited as 1 of us hadnt seen the others in 10 years. First off, the Service (our server Kaylin) was Outstanding! While our table was festive and had many drinks, Kaylin was very personable and managed our food and beverage requests masterfully! We ate several different appies and main courses. The food was simply Outstanding!! The manager made sure we were happy with everything - it was an A1 experience! Thanks to you all at NISI GREEK TAVERNA for serving and putting up with us on Friday the 13th!! Mel Grande Prairie, Alberta Parking: Free street parking after 6pm. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant entry at ground level.

Nothing special

First time here. Decided to try on a whim with a friend. Extremely satisfied with our experience. Delicious food in a clean, modern, and well-appointed restaurant. Friendly service. Steak was tender and cooked to perfection. Pricing competitive with restaurants in area. Look forward to next visit.

It is still inconceivable to have been treated so shabbily as was our experience this past Wednesday at Nisi. We were seated at a table for two at a later afternoon hour, where we placed a substantial food order. Upon receiving the food, we were informed, with the most ungracious of attitudes, that we had fifteen minutes to dine and then leave! We asked to see the manager and in her condescending tone, reiterated the the instructions of our server. Needless to say, there was no tip! ... our server... unhappy with the situation, followed us to the parking lot where we endured a barrage of insults! The entire, horrific experience was not indicative of the welcoming atmosphere of the other Lakefront establishments in Burlington. We are still in disbelief!

First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

we came in for dinner and it really was Amazing food and amazing service! I dont have one bad thing to say about this restaurant. Saganaki flames were the best part, opaaaaa!

The best food in town ! We recently celebrated my husbands birthday and ordered a large amount of chicken souvlaki and hamburgers to serve at the party. The attendees were impressed and enjoyed the delicious taste. We thank you so much for the amazing food and service. Al Mansour

This is a really cute restaurant, the food is great and so is the service. The feta dip is amazing, a must try if you can handle a bit of spice.

Top dining in Burlington. The whole family enjoyed the food. Service was exceptional. Drinks and food fantastic. Couldn t have asked for a better spot to have a birthday. Thank you guys.

Beautiful Greek restaurant! Delicious food and always fresh! Amazing service - very friendly and attentive! New favorite spot Feels like home! Food : 5/5

Great spot overlooking the waterfront. Fantastic Greek food, friendly service. Definitely worth a detour.

Weve been here twice now, in the span of a week. We loved it so much the first time that we couldnt wait to go back. This is absolutely the best Greek food I have ever had in my life. My husband doesnt even like Greek food and he loves Nisi! Beautiful, warm, intimate dining room. Lovely bar area with high tops. Fully accessible restaurant. The other Greek food Ive had in Burlington pales in comparison. And weve been to them all. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible restaurant and restrooms.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would, amazing food and amazing customer service.

Went with a group of three. The group had chicken souvlaki, Lamb and Gyros. Food was very tasty and well prepared. We all really liked it. The best was however the desert. The banana dish was unreal. I was pleasantly surprised. Price is reasonable. Sorry no pics. Would I go back? Yes for sure.

Amazing experience at NISI Greek Taverna! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Luke who ensured my family had a good time. It was my father-in-laws birthday, and he along with another staff member sang happy birthday while bringing dessert. Overall, a very wholesome experience, lots of laughs, great food (and even greater portions). We will definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely delicious, friendly staff and the atmosphere of the restaurant was lively and elegant. Highly recommended!

My friend and I had a reservation to dine on a Saturday night. We were greeted by the hostess and when my friend told her the name, she said there was no reservation. She questioned my friend if she made the reservation, and was very cold - looked young and had this stuck up air about her, clearly doesnt know how to talk to people. The manager then approached to help resolve the issue, and in front of us said, Check Fridays date, sometimes they screw up the reservations. It has clearly been done before. She said we could dine at the bar, which we didnt want to do so we decided to leave. On our way back to our car to find another restaurant, they called us and said they found the reservation that was put under next Saturday, and asked us if we would still like to keep this reservation. We ended up at Sotiris, which is always a great meal.We should have gone there in the first place. I will never attempt to go back to this place. What a joke.

The staff is fantastic , my waitress was so great ! The food is amazing ! Had the souvlaki it was so flavourful and big portions . I can t wait to come back.

Great food , great service. Highly recommended! 10/10 will be returning in the near future

Great service and great food. I will definitely come back. I highly recommend Nisi to everyone.

Just had our work Christmas lunch at Nisi. Food and service was fabulous. Will definitely go again!!

Great food, reasonable prices and exceptional service. Found the place a little cold which is why it doesnt get 5 stars for atmosphere.

Been here a few times a hidden Gem will be back again...

Excellent food and service. Will definitely return and recommend
