I absolutely love this place. I come from Greece, and nothing we have here even comes close to the great tasting food we have back home. Once you walk through the door, you will be greeted by the friendly staff. The owner, Danny, and his sister are such warm, welcoming people. They make you feel like you’re at home. If you want a quick snack, I recommend the pork Gyro with fries. They also have amazing pork and chicken souvlaki, not to mention the calamari. Their prices are also very reasonable. Try this place you will absolutely love it

I’ve been ordering from Skara for years. The quality and consistency is top tier. They are always going to go beyond to satisfy their customers. I will be putting up photos of my gorgeous spread delivered (Hot and Ready )soon to show you how lovely they are and how DAMN GOOD this food is. I will continue to support this great family business. They truly love what they do and take pride in their heritage. Absolutely Fabulous 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Edit.: I just ordered again. Got some photos. They always A1🫶🏾

Easily the best gyro place in the entire east end, and one of the best counter serve restaurants in east york. Tasty food, reasonable prices, friendly and sane staff (unlike a place on paper), speedy service, clean establishment. Skara is a credit to my neighbourhood and I hope they remain in business for decades.

Had a great time dining at Skara. We ordered the chicken gyro dinners and were greeted with generous servings of salad, pita, chicken, rice, and lemon potatoes. Everything was delicious, albeit the chicken was a bit dried-out. The staff was great, served everything with a smile, and even stayed back a few extra minutes while our dinner stretched past the closing time. Enjoyed the service and most of the food. Will be back for more.

Awesome gyros! The meat was tender and lightly seasoned so the natural flavour shines through, while the toppings were fresh. The size was perfect for the price. The staff were friendly and fast. Definitely a place I'll be going back to.

This is my first visit to Skara Greek Cuisine, which is as authentic as a Greek souvlaki fast food restaurant gets! During my stays in Athens, I would typically go to a BBQ place for meals. Skara takes me back there. Greek music greets you as you enter and make your way to the spotless, clean, open kitchen. Everything is prepared on the spot right in front of you. I had the special BBQ chicken kontosouvli dinner. It's only available Wednesday to Sunday. A generous portion of tender marinated boneless chicken is flanked by rice and roasted potatoes. It also comes with a big lettuce salad topped with a lot of feta cheese. Everything is so very fresh and delicious. Perfect balance of herbs and spices, on the chicken and crispy lettuce salad and enough lemony tang from the baked potatoes. The staff is warm and welcoming and genuinely want you to enjoy your visit. I am waiting to return and try the other menu items.

Hot and fresh grilled meats, tasty sides and friendly service. We had the lamb chop dinner, and the mixed gyro dinner. Huge portions and really delicious. The meats are grilled to order, and perfectly done. Salad and rice were fresh and tasty. Comes with creamy delicious tzatziki and warm fresh pita on the side. Would definitely return. Seems like really high quality food for a takeout style restaurant. We dined in and had great service.

Great staff, service is 15/10, its not a restaurant but feels like one as they bring the plate to you if you’re waiting for your food. They do mention to you how long the food needs to be cooked so if you’re in rush to order something else. I have visited this place over 3 times now and I can confidently say its the best in the area, they have never missed anything from the time I walked in, until the time I left. The food is a lot, delicious and well presented, the chicken gyros is their uniqueness in my opinion, it just tastes so so good and I was never able to finish any of the dinners I got here. Overall, this is my goto place whenever I’m around the area. 100% recommended. Note: I specifically asked to put more salad and less rise and potato on my souvlaki sinner.

OUTSTANDING!! We had my daughters suprise Sweet 16 party this past weekend and catered from family owned Skara Greek Cuisine which is located in the heart of East York. The communication throughout the planning was excellent which makes a huge difference. We had ordered succulent souvlakia to rotisserie kountosouvli and what they are known for the best gyros, rice , roasted lemon potatoes and their refeshing village salad. Not only was the food beyond our expectations it was perfection in presentation!! We heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests throughout the night. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. I would highly recommend them for any catering needs. Thanks again for making my daughters sweet 16 party even more special!!

The food is delicious and staff are nice, which is why we keep coming back! I gave them 4 stars because they tend to mess up my online orders (the past 5 at least), even though I make sure to include clear notes. If you order online, I would suggest checking your food to make sure everything looks right. Otherwise, great place!

4/12/2024 Its been a while since my last review. After all these years I would still recommend Skara for a quick meal and experiencing the most authentic Gyro on a Pita in town. I would also recommend your give the Club Gyro (Skepasti) a try...you wont be disappointed. Still the same friendly people, doing good got the community. Thank you for keeping and improving the overall product!!! __________ 12/28/2020 Still the same great experience...but did you change your pita? There was something different this time. Dont change things that work. Happy New Year!!! __________ 12/19/2020 Second visit a week later...and still the same great experience. Meal was well prepared, tasty and the usual familiar Greek authentic flavors. Pork Gyro dinner and two Pork Gyro on a pita topped with an order of fries was the choice this time. Definitely will be trying some of the other items as well. __________ 12/12/2020 First time at Skara and what a wonderful experience!!! Everything from the Pork and Chicken gyro, the Souvlaki sticks, the tzatziki was delicious and even the fries were so tasty. When your 7 year old kids (who can be picky at times) enjoyed the meal...that was a success.

Love this place but the wait is absolutely ridiculous. Every time you place an order in advance you end up waiting an extra 30 minutes after the wait time they gave you. To not receive any form of compensation after standing in front of the staff for 30 minutes is horrible customer service.

Been here twice , both times the food was fresh and good , service was friendly, placed look clean. My only negative comment is both times I was told order would be ready in 15 , for takeout, I would wait 20 to make sure ,as I always have kids with me ,so I like it to be ready so we can walk in grab and go , but each time they waited for me to enter before putting my gyros together and toke there time doing it. There was no one in the place nor were they busy with orders , just socializing and stock things. If Im ordering ahead and giving extra time for them , they should have my order ready to go or at least do it as quickly as possible.

December 22, 2023

another place extorting customers with inflated prices . Why is a souvlaki dinner twice the price of neighborhood staple squareboys???? do yourself and your wallet a favour and had a few blocks west on danforth and you can get a dinner for 13.00

The cashier was very passive aggressive for some reason. We ordered first before a nice family behind us and for whatever reason, they received their order first, theirs was a bigger meal than ours, and we had only ordered 2 pita wraps.On top of it, I had ordered the wrap and did not ask for any ketchup and she smothered it in ketchup completely. Very rude condescending. Quite frankly a very bad experience for us. It s unfortunate that in our city today we still have such people working. I would like to say that it is probably racism but of course she would deny it.

Its not good. I come here because the children have a lot of food and dont eat much, so I order three servings to eat together. The number of times the meal is out... I want to eat and see how the four-star evaluation is. But the attitude of ordering makes the taste of the meal greatly reduced. I suspect that we only want to eat delicious food. My friends dare not sit at the table for fear that they will think that we are only displeased by ordering less food The meal is delicious...but the crust is burnt. The rice is delicious, like white rice with egg yolks. The meat is delicious, with a lemony sour taste. I feel a little better. In fact, the portion is enough for five children. The children cant finish it. There is no kindness, here because the children have a lot of food and don t eat much, so I ordered three portions to eat together. The number of meals is taken slowly... I want to eat and see how the four-star rating is~ But when ordering Our attitude made the meal tasteless. We suspected that we only wanted to eat delicious food. This made our friends afraid to sit at the table for fear that they would think we were unhappy because we only ordered a small meal. The waiting time for asking for an extra tableware is about 10 minutes~I was so busy that I forgot~The children sadly asked if they don t like children~ Let s wait for the meal and let s see how it goes~ The food is delicious...but the crust has a burnt smell. The rice is delicious, like white rice with egg yolk. The meat is delicious and has a special sour taste from lemon. I feel a little better. In fact, the portion size is enough for five children, and they cant finish it. The potatoes and salad were quite sour. After the meal, the service was a little bit better

Theres no way that this place will remain a hidden gem for long. As I said to the hubby as we were eating, finally have a place where the price matches the taste and quality.. And quantity and value, etc. Bonus points for being away from the Danforth - there is ample parking and not nearly as much traffic. Got the souvlaki chicken dinner and mixed dinner of the kontosouvli and chicken gyro. Meat was so tender and juicy and the rice and potatoes were so good too. No dried out pieces that have been left out all day. I love when the potatoes have a bit of tang of lemon and these guys do it perfectly. Cant to go back!.. As soon as we finish the leftovers :)

I was looking for something out of my norm when I saw this restaurant. Theres a lot of street parking which allowed me to stop in otherwise I wouldve kept driving. When I got in, I heard a lady customer, talking to who I deduced was the owner (I could be wrong), raving about the unique drinks (colas and beers) they had. Apparently hardly anyone else sells it. But I was there to eat, so again, looking for something different I saw a sandwich that was a bit pricey, the Skara Club. I asked the owner how was it. He said Are you hungry? I said I could eat. Very friendly, he described what was in it and using two pitas saying a couple of times its a solid sandwich to which I couldnt have described it better. It was good eat, it was satisfying, and it was filling. I was not disappointed in paying the higher price. If Im in the area I would definitely check them again. Also, they had a bowl of snack size chocolate bars with a sign saying take one. I took two hoping they didnt notice. I didnt get kicked out so I think Im good.

Nov 17 23: 1:30pm 5min to start cooking our burgers. Burger finished cooking then they left sitting on grill for 10 minutes more. I had to go to counter and point to my burger burning on the grill that they are done! Im hungry. Please serve my food. Then took another 5-10min to serve 2 cooked cheese burgers and 1 plate of cold fries. Burgers are served BURNT and DRY. Fries served COLD and the second order of fries came LATE. Other people got their fries and food first. Dozen of other people in general served first. If... dont bother. They dont serve ppl from outside the neighborhood very kindly or in an equal manner of service. What a Horrible experience. What a waste of $30!!! My son did not want to finish his BURNT burger. Dry POS, I dont blame him. Horrible place.

Owners are not adhering to Covid protocols. Customer was standing in front of prep table (no separation shield), no mask on, talking away to owners. Also, when I offered to show my vaccination to sit inside, they said dont worry about it. Lastly, I was served a chicken giro where up to half the meet was charred black. Awful. Cant believe the preparer didnt think to cut away the charred pieces before serving. Never again. I really wanted to support his place, however, they have let me down multiple times in multiple fronts.

I have never written a review for restaurants but this place really deserves it! The staff is really friendly and the food is great. I am a customer of theirs for about 5 months and i am very satisfied. In the beginning i was hesitant because there were a few bad reviews but from what i have experienced time and time again they are fake! My advice is to try it for yourself, dont rely only on reviews.

Phenomenal food. Came in randomly for dinner and got the mixed dinner plate. Huge portions, the chicken was juicy yet crispy, the pork was delectable. Absolutely coming back.

High quality food, good presentation. Staff felt very passive aggressive, serving multiple customers their order before mine despite mine being placed 3 orders earlier for just a gyro. Credit where credit is due the food was good and I m giving them the benefit of the doubt that the lady was grumpy that day or something. Cook was nice to me though.

When they opened this shop it was really ok. I just ordered souvlaki ang gyro from them, and in both the meat was barely cooked. Not to mention that there was mostly onions and potatoes and just small portion of meat inside. Not ordering here anymore.

Disappointed with long wait for take out. We called in and ordered 3 chicken gyros and 1 chicken souvlaki and they quoted us 20 mins. Very simple order but it was 50 minutes to get the food and it was almost wrong to boot!!! On the phone they always warn you about the 20 minute cook time to cook to the souvlaki so why did we wait 50 mins ?! And it tasted very dry!! I m sorry no more

Delicious, authentic Greek flavours are something I dont take for granted. Skaras food is amazing! This was our second time eating from Skara, and both times have been a huge success. Previously we got takeout chicken and pork gyro plates, and tonight we got bifteki and chicken souvlaki dinners. They came with a generous Greek salad each, and a delicious salad dressing. I appreciate the care and quality this restaurant delivers.

First time here. We came for the after lunch rush as a group. The place was empty when we walked in. ATMOSPHERE: [3/5] Good looking place, but tables were left uncleaned with visible dirt on a few tables. FOOD: [TASTE 3?/5] Very Yummy, Good portions. We could not finish and packed stuff home. However we all felt very lethargic afterwards. We all come out from the restaurant feeling extra cold, difficulty staying awake for the rest of the afternoon. STAFFS/SERVICE: [1/5] (much improvement needed) The cashier was chit-chatting in a different language with the chef even though we were clearly in the middle of ordering. I was trying to speak to her, she continue to chat with her co-worker. No recommendations were given. We were not asked if we want rice or fries for some of the dishes we were allowed to pick between a few thing. We all ordered gyros because otherwise, well have to wait 20 min for souvlaki. We sat down to wait for our order. Then 3-4 clients came walked in after us. 1 out of 3 of our order came quickly, my friend got their salads, then we waited for a long time for the rest of my friends rice gyro and potatoes. In the meantime, the others 3-4 persons that came after us got their takeout, paid and left already. Probably 20 minutes the the rest of the gyro, rice and potato finally got scooped their food counter There was not apology for the wait. It was also very clear that one of us had already finish the food that was served 20 minutes ago Overall, the food was good, unsure why we were all lethargic even though none of us overate. Service was terrible when we went. Unsure if poor service is a norm, or rather that the staffs had a terrible lunch run and were just tired. We give this a try again if we have to.

My new favorite place for all greek food. I work down the street and can walk to grab lunch. I really enjoyed their chicken gyro on a pita, souvlaki dinner with rice and potatoes and their greek salad is one of the best with fresh ingredients. Last week I booked a private event for my engagement dinner. Everyone had an amazing time. I would highly recommend trying this place out!!

I came to Skara last Saturday for a small and intimate engagement party for my sister. We had the best time. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. We started with warm Pita bread and Greek dips, followed by a fresh Greek salad. The main course was chicken souvlaki with rice and potatoes. I ll start by saying I am not a fan of chicken souvlaki, but this was by far the best chicken I ve ever had. It was soft, juicy and the perfect portion size. We had so much food we barely made it to dessert. This is officially my go-to Greek restaurant from now on.

I live in the O Connor and Coxwell neighborhood and this is my favourite go to restaurant for dinner. The owner and all the staff are amazing. They always go above and beyond with the service. My daughter loves their Greek salad with their homemade dressing. My favourite is the chicken souvlaki in a pita. The tzaziki is absolutely amazing.

Too over crowded during lunchtime and no one is there to control how many students enter at a time. Took takeout and asked for my gyro to be wrapped to be fresh when I eat it, I got a napkin wrapped around the gyro. Do not go during the week at lunch its a nightmare.

Not to be dramatic or anything but I havent been this happy with a vegetarian sandwich/ wrap in a few years. I can already tell I m going to have an addiction to this wrap, since I work nearby and it s so delicious and reasonably priced. Everything on the wrap was so fresh, healthy tasting and so satisfying with the perfect proportions from pita/ veggies/ fries and tzatziki. I m going fo come back again and again and bring my boyfriend and family too, they eat meat so they can try the whole menu which I bet is equally as amazing. I d give this place 10 stars if I could.

A major disappointment I m sorry to say the Gyro had no taste and it was very very dry had decided to give this place a try cause coming from a restaurant family who have always had small business I like to support and this place was recommended I don t know if ownership has changed but if it has then you need to continue the way the business first started off. I don t intend to return.
