I am lost of words. Today i went to the Restaurant Tilos and it was so good, not only that, the grilled fish, lamb chops, and the spaghetti was amazing . The pricing was amazing. I will recommend this to all my family members and friends.

Food was okay but very expensive. Sometimes the fish smelled so it wasnt as fresh as expected for the price. Home made bread was ok with small portions served at the table. For the area and the portions food was expensive.

Ideal neighborhood restaurant. Excellent value, family run, honest, friendly and hospitable. Food is great, fresh, well-priced and served with a smile! Lamb, steak, fish, appetizers, salad - all great! Bring your own wine is the icing on the cake. Recommend!

We had the sea bass for two and the pasta alfredo and everything was delicious. The chef-owner is very welcoming and friendly! Dine here if you’re interested in perfectly-cooked seafood!

Must try this little hidden gem in NDG. Caring owner. Made your culinary experience an unforgettable one. As a starter please enjoy their homemade and hot bread. Follow by their amazing and refreshing mediterranean salad. Just watering in your mouth. If you like grilled calamaris or octopus you won't regretted these entrées. For your main course enjoy the rib steak with the signature potatoes or their generous portion of veal chop grilled to perfection. For the fish lovers, opted for the Athena sea bass, it will melt in your mouth. Did I mentioned it's a BYOW! Thank you Mohamed for your hospitality. Will definitely come see you again!

I ordered mediterranean sea bass. It came with soup of the day and chocolate cake. All of them were great and tasted as an home made dish. The chief brought me a special icecream which was so tasty. The servant was so polite and spend a lot of time explaining the menu. I do recommend this place

What an amazing place! The food is exquisite. From the homemade fresh bread to the salad to the halibut and rib steak. Great seasoning and cooked to perfection. Chef Mohammed was also delightful. His passion can be seen on his words and well as his food. I'll definitely be coming back!

Chef owned and operated. Experienced at the fancy Greek seafood restaurant on Parc (with the similar name). Lentil vegetable soup is yummy. Mediterranean salad perfectly seasoned. Tzatziki and grilled rolls are a delight. Seafood, Chicken, Fish and Pasta. Some vegetarian options. My mother is not fond of garlic, so he made her shrimp with lemon and butter with potatoes and vegetables. Bring your own wine. Bright, beautifully appointed dining room with linen napkins. No loud music. Warm hospitable service. Easy to park on Somerled.

Paid for overcooked pasta and non-edible steak 100$ . Do not go here if you want eat good , it s not worth it , guys don t know how to cook medium rare steaks

October 22, 2024

The food is mediocre at best, and the prices, well to say it s overpriced would be a massive understatement. The service was good and the decor was nice, despite this, I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

We go there to break the routine: the grilled fish, Greek salad, fried squid and grilled vegetables are extraordinary. We appreciate: the warm service and bring your own wine We like less: service in English only. Lemon chicken. Cross contamination causing an allergic reaction despite having confirmed to us that we are taking the necessary precautions.

For our main courses, we had the grilled jumbo shrimp and the rib steak, medium rare. Both choices were on point; excellent, in fact! Our entree green salads were the freshest ever dressed with a light, perfectly balanced vinaigrette. The resto was not crowded during our time there last evening (we booked early for 6 pm). Total experience and ambience were delightful. Our BYOB wines were served expertly and we were made to feel very welcome. This eatery is an NDG treasure! Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning food. From the service to the finest ingredients, I would not have changed anything. Everyone has to try this place at least once. Best food I had in a very long time. Price is also very solid for the amount of food you get very good balance. The Chef & owner has all my compliments. Very clean as well. Cannot find something to criticize.

We finally tried this gem. We were warmly greeted by the owner/chef who kept checking on us to make sure we were satisfied with the food. Our meals were delicious. Best salad Ive ever had in a restaurant. We had the grilled sea bass for two which was served with roasted potatoes and grilled veggies. Wonderful fluffy chocolate cake drizzled with warm chocolate sauce for dessert. We look forward to our next visit.

Very hospitable but the food was disappointing, especially for the over $220 for 3 incl 2 glasses of wine. The tzatziki and chicken were both very good but the octopus was below par, the Mediterranean salad was chopped and drowning in sickly sweet house dressing, the 17oz rib steak had no bone and half was inedible fat, and the jumbo shrimp were small and chewy. We will definitely not be back.

This was my first time and I loved it. The food was delicious and the portions generous. This is a small restaurant and not overwhelming. The waiter was attentive and the owner/chef (Tilo ?) came to see us to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Very friendly and kind! The only thing I would have liked is a bit of background music. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

We went because we couldnt make our original reservation at another restaurant and reviews seemed good but what a big expensive disappointment. No octopus available, meat was undercooked had to sent back for more cooking, sea bass was good but my wifes was overcooked and shrimp side dish was still raw. I dont want to complain just to complain but considering the price we paid and the several errors , I feel I need to write something about our experience.

A very respectable BYOB Mediterranean resto with pleasant ambiance and décor. It is owner run, and it shows in all aspects of the hospitality shown toward their customers. Mohammed, the proprietor has a good deal of restaurateur experience, notably at Milos for 10 years before striking off on his own. This 50 seat restaurant has a large menu for its size including a good deal of seafood. This prompted me to ask how he manages his inventory - to which I was told that his supplier comes twice a week, and that he orders only enough for his reservations and anticipated bookings - thus, he says on occasion some items may sell out - but that is a reasonable consequence for having fresh fish and seafood. My wife had swordfish and I had a rib steak. Both were delicious and served hot straight from the kitchen after we had finished our starter house salads and a savoury grilled octopus plate A slice of very light cheesecake and a cup of freshly brewed coffee were a delightful way to finish off the meal. We can very happily recommend a night out at Tilos, located on Somerled - which typically has parking, unlike Monkland...

My wife and I instead of going fishing decided to do it the easy way and headed on over to Restaurant Tilos on Somerled Avenue. Chef Mohammed who formerly cooked at Oreganos Grill on Somerled Ave, Vali Restaurant on Queen Mary Road and Le Petit Pecheur on Décarie Blvd. prepared our scrumptious food. I started out with a delicious lentil soup and my wife ordered a generous garden salad. We both had the Mediterranean Sea Bass, seafood heaven on a plate which was served with fresh steamed veggies and a potato. A piece of chocolate cake and coffee rounded out a great meal. So to conclude, fishing no, Restaurant Tilos yes.

Ordered take out- probably not the best way to experience the place. I quite liked the seabass, while my wife wasnt crazy about her chicken brochette. After tasting it, I agreed - it was too dry and over-marinated (if that is possible). However, the charbroiled vegetables were great and the potatoes were also quite unique - seemed like they were boiled in a marinating broth of sorts- I liked them too (an opinion not shared by everyone). The accompanying salad was fresh with a nice vinaigrette. Overall, quite good. Also BYOB, which helps in cutting into the prices- which seem a little high, but the quality is there.
