Absolutely incredible. I am blown away by the quality and prices of this restaurant. The owners are so friendly and it was obvious they care about their food. The deserts are handmade and amazing. I can not recommend this place enough.

Everything about this place is awesome. Loved every dish I’ve had there. Moreover, if you’re a dessert lover you need to stop what you’re doing and drive here and treat yourself to some HOME MADE sweets. Absolutely unreal. Legit, I take desserts pretty seriously and this lovely lady can rustle up a fine one, there’s no doubt about that. Red velvet cake pictured for reference.

My wife and I hit this place up whenever we can, which can be once a week. The food is so delicious and fresh, it leaves you satisfied and feeling great. Aside from that, the ambiance is welcoming and the owners make a genuine effort to connect with everyone. It’s the experience we keep coming back for.

Good quality food and portions reflect the price, which was great. Customer service is 💯, funny guy at front. It's definitely my new spot for propa Greek food. The gyros were on point, but the Souvlaki was a little dry. I'm sure once I let them know, they'll address that issue, but overall, I am happy that this spot serves quality fresh food.

I absolutely LOVE this place!! THESE PEOPLE KNOW FOOD! Their food is so authentic and delicious 🤤🤤 I cannot recommend her desserts enough!! I can eat here twice a week or more! This will be the best Greek you ever have!!

This is a newly opened place where you can get some delicious Greek food. I enjoy the interior decor, the easy menu and eager customer service. The potatoes have a lemon flavor to it which really cuts into some of the grease and compliments the overall taste. The portions are large enough to have you filled. The only thing that might detour newcomers may be the price as it's twice as much as your average fast food neighbors however it is worth its price in quality. I suggest everyone give this place a try.

Always a pleasure. Food is excellent and staff is courteous and friendly. They always ensure I leave on a happy note. They also cater to my lactose intolerant needs so I can have my caffeine treat. Highly recommend!! Dietary restrictions: They ensure I dont have lettuce in my meal and are cautious with those with allergies.

A beautiful little restaurant. Great interior. The chicken gyro was fantastic. Next time, id probably get tzatziki instead of house sauce, but the house sauce is also good. Its like a thousand island. I also had Spanakopita, crispy with savory feta and spinach filling. But the real takeaway, the thing that absolutely will make this place a fortmcmurray staple from now on is the baked goods. I had the german carrot cake. Its so good, 100% something special and worth making a trip for. Also, the prices are very reasonable for the portion size

I didnt even know this place existed because of the location, Gregoire, normally, unless you work there, none goes there for a drive or looking for a place to eat, just heard about it and went to try it, the place is small with a fewer tables but inviting, now the food, probably, or most likely, the best Greek food I ever tried (havent been in Greece yet),the portions are generous and the prices reasonable to cheap considering that even crappy fast food is overpriced nowadays, I ordered the lamb shank and it was superb. they have a nice size menu and variety with great options, all tastes fresh. I tried the coffee and the tiramisu, both excellent. It is one of the best places to eat in town.

I had suggested our travel group to have lunch at this place as it was nearby and had great ratings. But I was a bit nervous as we had a really diverse multicultural group and was not sure of everyone preferences. But this place lived up to the expectations! The food was really top notch, reasonably priced and everyone was quite happy with their meal.

What better than a local authentic Greek resteraunt. Amazing food cooked fresh right in front of you usually takes less than 5 minutes to be prepared. Highly recommend, every person I take here is hooked and comes back the next day. Vegetarian options: My girlfriend is Vegetarian and she gets the veggie platter. She loves the potatoes and the Greek salad with the rice. Along with other options I m sure we just haven t explored yet. Kid-friendliness: Welcoming atmosphere and the owners do very well with kids and friendliness.

This place has 5 stars for a reason! I pretty much get the chicken soulvaki pita every time, but man its so good!!!! There arent many options for places to get lunch in Gregoire, so its awesome to have a place that has great food and doesnt leave you feeling like garbage after. Its a family run business, and they are super friendly people. They deserve all the support. And the turn food out quickly. Lastly, the prices are great and the portion size is awesome. You guys rock.

Food is absolutely delicious, and staff are very friendly, highly recommended and I will be a frequent customer for lunch and supper. Update as I was finishing this, there was a skip the dish order issue with the driver delivering to somewhere else, not at all Athens fault nor within their control, but after I had stopped in on the way home and reordered take out they still called me and offered to make it right due to the earlier hiccup next time I stop in. Absolutely amazing customer service, best in class and I look forward to the next time I stop in!

Stopped at Athens - Greek Street Food on the way home a few weeks ago for the first time. Food was amazing and portions almost too big! I dont know how they do it for the price. Had the Lamb and Pork. The lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Got in there just under the wire, didnt realize they closed early or I would have tried more (not that we could have eaten it). Gave 3 stars for atmosphere only because I did take out quickly as they were about to close. Great reason to go back to dine in and update that portion of the review.
