Jimmy The Greek in North York

best service and food

Avoid Jimmy The Greek Fairview Mall! It s been two months now, they have reduced the size of their Chicken Souvlaki by a lot. Never in my whole entire life have I had Chicken Souvlaki that is that small! One piece of their Chicken Souvlaki is the size of a Chicken McNugget from McDonald s!! They have also thinned-out their Chicken Fillet! The owner of Jimmy The Greek Fairview Mall is maximizing his profit margins by providing less meat per meal to each customer. However, what he doesn t understand is that he is going to put a significant dent into their annual profit margins! Their Chicken Souvlaki was so small that I ended up eating my rice, salad, and potatoes on its own. I ended up finishing the Chicken Souvlaki in a matter of 4 minutes! I even had half of the Tzatziki sauce on its own! Simply put, the owner of Jimmy The Greek Fairview Mall Location is dishonest and greedy! This is exactly why you barely have any customers during the weekdays! You only have customers during the weekends! Everybody is better off going to another Jimmy The Greek location.

Wasnt served because server too busy chit chatting with friends and just restocking and ignoring me. Left without ordering, VERY RUDE!

The service is ok but the hand hygiene is very poor. The girls are wearing fake nails and they dont even wear gloves. They supposed to know the rules if they have food handler certificate.

Great food, great service and great staff.

The $15 shrimp griller meal tastes about the same as I remember pre-covid, but a smaller portion in a smaller box. Decent food and service

The best Jimmy the Greek in the city. I have been coming here since I was a child and despite the renovations to the mall and changes to the location of the food court Jimmy the Greek is still there!

It always amazes me to try their food

Fav Greek in the mall by far!

Bad management and organization. 4 staffs working in the front at the same time, but took 30 mins to line and ordered food. 3 of staffs keep walk away from his position except the cashier girl. Especially the one who wear glasses with middle length hair was dancing and giggle in front the stove!! They dont care was huge line up waiting for order. I will not go there again.

Used to be my favorite location and go to place in Fairview Mall. But recently I noticed that their portions have decreased quite a lot, especially when served by a young lady...which is unfortunate since they increased the prices. Hopefully they go back to the portions they used to serve.

Food taste .good customer service.the employees name Hashmat it very nice & treat customer with respect & take good care of customer service.

Excellant leg of lamb with potatoes and rice. Excellent chicken kabobs and very good employees.

Very good value for money Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy

Busy place, usually a line, but I love it!! Grilled chicken dinner is bomb!!

Fresh food fair price good portion. Respect to the dude with curly long hair who made my food fast and clean , I recommend this place if your feeling like chicken and salad

I have been buying here for a long time at least once a month. Usually the portion is pretty good. But today I bought 2 meals. The quantity was so much less than previous times. Food

Great food, 100% recommended Food

They were all talking to each other and not paying attention to the customers, especially one boy who had glasses was treated very badly. There was also a girl who passed a napkin full of soapy water over my dish while my dish was being prepared, and I saw that she poured some water and soap into my rice. I always ordered food here, but I will never go with this service

Ordered from this location on Uber Eats and the food arrived cold to touch .

Usually I normally get a good portion of salad at this location. But today the portion has heavily decreased and when I asked for abit more the worker said thats the portion for the meal.

Excellent fresh, tasty and healthy Greek food. The staff is super quick and explained everything that we wanted to ask. If you are looking for Greek food, this is the place in the Kitchener area. Highly recommend!!

Not the best service. The reps were pretty unprofessional and really didnt care at all about the servicre. The food wasnt fresh. The chicken was very hard and dry, and the potatoes were quite black and burnt. I ended up throwing away my order in the garbage. It was a complete waste of money.

Excellent service by Anant and Food was also delicious.

Unprofessional and rude customer service

Fast service and friendly servers.

Hash makes the best chicken wrap in the mall. Customer service is so nice i appreciate the owner efforts to deliver food with such great taste. Highly recommended

This used to be a decent place to grab some Greek food, I think post pandemic/lockdown the new staff is just not as good as the before. I tried the Spinich pie & Salad today this is the 3rd consecutive time the pie was burnt and the salad was filled with chunky lettuce base that no one eats. It s a shame this place is gone so down now. Don t think I ll eat here again

Stale chicken

Great service as always. Thank you

Don t let the line scare you away! Jimmy The Greek was a great experience! I tried the chicken souvlaki meal. They put a perfect amount of potatoes! They give a great variety of toppings you can choose to put on your salad! The rice is great and they have a fridge of many different drinks! They also make the food in less than 3 minutes!!! And one of my favourite parts is that they make the food in front of you!

Located in Fairview mall, its a nice location, but very very busy and long lineups on the weekend. Finding seating in the food court is a pain. This time however, I was just ordering takeout. I ordered 4 chicken souvlaki plates. Portion sizes are quite impressive, including the chicken souvlaki skewers that actually have a decent amount of meat in them. 1 skewer is enough for me. At other places I generally have to order a second to feel full. Lots of rice and 3 fair sized potatoes along with a good portion of greek salad. All of the food was tasty and the chicken juicy. Could have eaten it without Tzatziki and it would not have been dry. But I love tzatziki and theirs is quite good. Service was FAST. Server lined up four containers and had them all filled in no time and moved things along. Very polite and friendly servers. Price was ~$14 + tax for the souvlaki plate, which is comparable to other Greek places that give you a lot less food of lower quality. If youre looking for Greek food, you cant go wrong with Jimmy!

Terrible experience today at this location. I was with my 10 year old son who has been a Jimmy the Greek fan since he was 4 yrs old. I was ordering from Villa Medina my stuff and told him to go to Jimmy the Greek to get his order. I spent about 10 mins getting my order then went to see how my son was doing with his. When I got there he was half way through the counter, and I saw that the guy wearing glasses and a hat skipped him. I told him it my sons turn and in a very rude manner he yelled go to the back of the line. My son said he did the line-up. So, I told him that my son did the line-up, and he kept yelling to go to the back of the line. My son felt bad and ignored because he was a kid. YOU GUYS NEED TRAINING ON DEALING WITH KIDS. All he wanted was his small serving of rice with chicken which takes less than 2 mins to be served, and he spent 10+ mins trying to get his order, so dont tell me that he didnt line-up. He has seen that process more than 5 yrs. To sum it up, we didnt line-up, we left and Im never taking my kids to this location. Look around you there are so many places to choose from and that are kid friendly.

Great place for a delicious meal with friends or family. I recommend visiting this Greek-style food place for a unbelievable experience.

Very bad customer service. They gave us the food that we didn t order and they have charged us extra and didn t do a refund , they told us that they will call the security while we were not doing anything wrong and it was their mistake!

We had a lamb meal, a shrimp meal and a salad with fresh vegetables. All foods were delicious, good portion and decent price. I love the steamed potatoes. Definitely Ill be back. Highly recommended.

Incredible staff! Fast service. Amazing food! I ve been a repeat customer over the last year now and haven t had an issue yet! Love the team here.

John runs an amazing restaurant! My family and are taken care of and treated with the upmost care and respect whenever we visit be it for takeout or dining in. Would absolutely recommend to a home in the area!

Excellent food and incredible service as always!

Bad attitudes

Jimmys is my go to place for food court meals at the mall. However, the Fairview Mall location is far and away the worst Jimmys Ive eaten at. Been there twice now and both times the food was sub-standard. Dry, overcooked chicken thighs, hard, undercooked rice, and they skimped on the salad. There were no adults running the place...just a bunch of young kids. You guys need to take a lesson from the excellent Jimmys at the Markville Mall location.

The food is good and the customer service representative was also kind. The food portion was a little less than the usual amount and the price of food always keep increasing.

Fellow vegetarians: since they did not respond to inquires about whether their claimed vegetarian items are truly vegetarian (broths or flavourings in rice or used on potatoes that is not vegetarian, whether cheese is rennet/lipase-free, if they use vegetable shortening in their dough, etc.), then obviously the vegetarian is not truthful. They SHOULD NOT label foods as vegetarian if it s not. The food industries in Canada have needed proper transparency and honesty about ingredients long enough.

Healthier selection of items in the food court with right proportion of meats/protein to vegetables/salad to carbohydrates/potatoes/rice that people should be eating. I had the Dolmades with salad and potatoes. It came with 6 pieces of Dolmades, half take out plate of salad and a quarter plate of potatoes. Their potatoes are cooked to perfection with a hint of lemon taste to it. Dolmades has a minty flavour kick. Servers are quick and efficient, kept the place sanitary. If you get the rice as a side, be sure to mix and eat it with their tzatziki sauce. Get the imported Greek spring water instead of the regular spring water, definitely worth the premium.

Very rude young lady took my order, very unpleasant experience

Gave me burnt pork soulvaki

Used them to cater a staff lunch for 60. Service and food was great. They were very accommodating.

Tasty Mediterranean. And not expensive. Both schnitzel and lamb are amazing dinners. Rice nice and salad is top notch.

I must love the food at Jimmy but the taste of the food is different. The rice is hard the potatoes look and taste awful. When I was served at the Fairview location there was water in the onions which transfer to my food. The salad itself looks and tastes disgusting. I will not go back to the Fairview location anymore because its not worth the price. I am so disappointed.

You can never go wrong with the grilled chicken from Jimmy The Greek. Dont forget the chicken juice sauce on the rice for extra flavor. Food : 5/5

Good food.. sometimes Long que to order

I had a wonderful experience at the Jimmy the Greek, where I ordered the chicken sovlaki and gyro platter. The chicken was tender and juicy, marinated in a flavorful blend of herbs and spices. The gyro meat was crispy and savory, sliced thinly and wrapped in a soft pita bread. The platter also came with a generous portion of rice, salad, tzatziki sauce, and lemon wedges. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the portions were very satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Greek cuisine. It was one of the best meals I have ever had!

Great salad overcooked salmon

amazing team and food.

Amazing food !!! Very happy with the service as well!

The food was so yummy and I loved the souvlaki!! Service 10/10

tastes below average

Food is fine but the staff is extensive RUDE. They don t listen carefully to the orders and throw containers around. One of the servers made a mistake on my order and had the audacity to argue with me. Will never go back

Staff are busy talking to each other, even the customers are in front of them. Actually we are in the cash register already and we wait till they finished talking.

Went here to pick up dinner and witnessed verbal assault from one of the employees. There was a very long line, and one employees was on their phone, and a customer told the cashier about it, and he completely began verbally assaulting her, fat shaming her and shouting. I lost my appetite completely and I have always been uncomfortable with the employees specifically the male ones at Jimmy the Greek, and always prefer to go to Villa Medina if I see them working there.

What I witnessed today here has left me shocked and Jimmy the Greek has lost a long time customer of YEARS. A lady in front of me was complaining about the long wait time and employees being on their phone. She was not rude in the slightest and simply said what all of us were thinking. One of the male employees began to ARGUE and yell such disgusting things. He told her to worry about what she s eating amongst other rude and weight shaming comments. It was disgusting behaviour and I m still in complete shock. Not only is it completely unprofessional to argue back with a customer expressing a very genuine and valid concern but to then bash her and attack her weight? In what world is it okay to treat a paying customer that way? Will never be coming back here again and unless you want to be attacked and publicly humiliated, I suggest not going here too.

Great taste, healthy and always friendly service. I always grab Jimmy the Greek when I spend the day at the mall!

Went for a quick souvlaki dinner, enjoyed the friendly service by the man in glasses. He made my experience enjoyable and gave me great recommendations. I will be frequenting and recommending Jimmy the Greek at Fairview to all my friends and family!

I ve been coming here for years with my family, the food and service is always amazing. I would especially recommend their catering services for events.

Jimmy The Greek has been a staple each time I go to Fairview Mall for over a decade, and it never disappoints. Particularly with this Fairview location, I find the staff give generous portion sizes, which really sets them apart!

My go to spot for food. I am always greeted by the friendly employees who go above and beyond with their service. The food here is consistently amazing, and I have never had any complaints. Well done Jimmy the Greek Fairview

This is the best chicken souvlaki in the neighbourhood! The staff always treat me with care and respect, it s the best Jimmy the Greek in the city!

I have been going to Jimmy the Greek, specifically the Fairview location, for years, and can say that my experience there continues to be amazing. The portions are big, the staff is extremely friendly and energetic, and the food is DELICIOUS. A staple every time I go to Fairview, and I will keep going!!

Food tastes very authentic to actual greek cuisine. As well as the service was awesome! Staff is very friendly and patient.

Amazing experience! Great slouvaki!

Great chicken souvlaki

Consistent greek food at a very reasonable price! Food is always fresh and the staff are friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Been coming here for years and always recommend to friends.

Food has always been delicious, busy but quick and friendly service.

great location, excellent food and service. always satisfied. guy with glasses is great!

Well..I am a regular at Jimmys.. but yesterday the Suvilaki was a surprise! Not a good one..did the chicken skewer srink? I am not a big eater but yesterday I ended up eating rice potatoes and salad...for almost $17 dlrs.! I felt cheated....no more....

Excellent, polite and lovely staffs Fairview mall Food

The absolute best Jimmy The Greek branch I ve ever visited. I come here constantly and what makes it different is the staff. They re all super nice and professional especially the manager. Definitely recommend

My to go protein stop. No surprises, always happy and welcoming staff. Very welcoming. Must try place

Spinach pie pastry was light and flaky, salad ingredients were fresh and flavourful. Portions are generous and staff friendly. Good value! Yum!

My husband ordered a roast lamb meal at less than $20! I was so impressed that a fresh and delicious lamb meal could be this cheap! Highly recommend!

Food is good I don t have a problem with that only they charged different price I ordered roasted chicken they charge me chicken Souvlaki meal I went there this Monday I paid $14.40 and I went there again Tuesday I paid $12.70 same food but they charged different I am really disappointed that Just beware of what you order

Had chicken soulakhi. Had a wonderful experience something different. Plenty for two.

Wow!!!!!!!! I had the chicken souvlaki today and I have to say it was one of the BEST takeout meals Ive had in YEARS!!! Service was great, friendly and the portion was very filling. First time I EVER ate an entire meal in one sitting!!!!!!!!!! Good job to the team at Fairviews Jimmy the Greek! Worth the drive to Fairview!!!!! Yummy yummy, for my tummy, yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy for my mommys tummy!

Very good food, had roasted chicken leg, chicken souvlaki, roasted lamb, spanakopita(spinach pie). The dinners come with rice, potatoes and Greek salad, if you so wanted it. Fast and friendly staff. My favourite so far, is the Chicken Schnitzel with rice, potatoes and Greek salad. Tried ordering through Skip the dishes, but was unable to. One of the favourites to eat while at Fairview Mall, or order through Uber eats. Never disappoints. Highly recommended.

Old dry chicken from the night before or older. Stale pita. Counter help had no interest in customer service even when not busy. Very unsatisfactory experience.

Generous portion & decent price. Many gyros are typically salty, but this place makes it perfectly every time I visit!

I bought same food same thing 2 different times, first time15$ second time 22$ Everyone in there charge different prices I m really disappointed

Juicy and delicious.

Very kind people and good service.

Food is always fresh and the staff is really nice. Their potatoes are delicious ! Always a great choice when Im hungry after a long day !

one male staff with glasses, when he pickup food for customers at the counter, it seems that he gave more rice, more sauce to customers who looks white, but less rice, less sauce to customers who looks non-white, very wierd and strange services, not treat customers equally.

The location is fantastic, and the food is delicious, but the staff could be more courteous. I was dissatisfied with the service today.

I wanted to eat there but the server was not wearing ba mask, it is a matter of hygiene. Went somewhere else.

I love this restaurant. The falafel and chicken bowl and wrap is very good.

Pretty lit! Healthy variety with amazing flavor!

I have a chicken wrap that Did have enough salad chicken was tasteless and dry not overpriced for garbage costumer service and food not returning to them so disappointed

Dilecious

Very disappointed. While i am ordering the crew are very busy chatting and the male that i am ordering is keep on putting rice on my order which is I don t like. And he is rude. Never order again

Food is really good but today s service was disappointing.

Dried out precooked food. Never again.

Friendly service and amazing food! The food was fresh and the baklava was very delicious. I highly recommend this location

Best food in Fairview Mall .

Bad service and they don t care about their customers.

The guy with glasses seems to be a racist when the customer is asian or anybody he doesn t bother to get there order and are rude! Take the calamari out of your menu!

Update: 1-star Can you please tell me if your described as vegetarian foods really are? I know they appear so, but not all foods from fast food/restaurants noted as vegetarian really are. Are all the ingredients used in your vegetarian items/plates vegetarian? i.e. any broths or flavouring used in rice/potatoes? Is your feta cheese from a brand that makes dairy cheeses that are vegetarian? i.e. rennet-free, sources from lipase/enzymes if any, and zero tolerance of animal abuse on dairy farms in the production? 3-stars might change.

The employees (specifically the owner s relatives who work here) have absolutely NO respect for ANY customer. They are outright rude and the owner even allows it and doesnt even bother intervening. Very disgusting! Never coming here again.

Poor experience across the board, food was bland and tasteless, tomatoes and salad did not taste fresh and sadly they forgot to give me any tzatziki sauce. Service is ok but sensed a bit of attitude from worker. Will not repeat at this location and would advise anyone visiting the mall to look at other food options. If you do need to try jimmy the Greek, go to the Markville location, nothing beats it because they have taste and service both.

Used to like this location specifically for a quick bite but the service has just plummeted. Servers dont listen to your order, make careless mistakes, and are constantly chit chatting like youre not even there. Theres specifically a young girl at cash who is blatantly rude and disrespectful. Have had a few encounters with her now and they were so unpleasant I had to write a review. She ignores you, continues her conversation, has a rude attitude, and doesnt even look at you when she tosses you your food like youre nothing. Disgusting behaviour in food service. For this reason I will no longer be eating at this location.

So I got really bad food poisoning from this location, I don t believe they follow safe food handling measures and I wouldn t come back. The tzatziki was definitely bad.

Opa!

Always fresh food!!

They are very generous with their portions when you order online! Chicken is never dry and always cooked to perfection.

I feel absolutely silly for not being brave enough to say something when the staff was preparing my pita. I saw the staff not wearing gloves... he was touching my pita bare handed during this sensitive covid period.. .............. Now Im home. Staring at my pita. To the trash it goes .

I ordered a gyro wrap They didnt warm it give me cold wrap Also I asked them some garlic sauce or any sauce on the top She told me we dont have any just hot sauce Very bad experience

I ordered chicken meal and there is no chicken. So stupid.

Dirty place

Good value, generous portions. Consistently fresh

You get a ton of food for a good price. Me and friends enjoy this resturant and close to the food court

The service and food is phenomenal!

Everything is SO Delicious! Best Tzatziki ever! Staff is very accommodating.

Fresh food

A great place to caught a quick bite. Everything is ready, good portions for your dollar. The food is what you would expect. Service with a smile. Fast, tasty, not too pricey. Definitely will be back.

I love this location of Jimmy the Greek! The staff is great especially the girl who works at the salad bar, Iliana. She s super friendly and nice and makes great salads!

The food here is great and the service is amazing! Theres a girl at the salad bar who is always extra friendly and helpful, I think her name was Iliana? or Liana? Overall, a great place to eat with friendly staff.

Love this location of Jimmy the Greek! The food and service are amazing, the staff are friendly. The girl at the cash register, Ilianna, is always super polite. Overall great location!

I love this location, the food is amazing and great customer service, especially Iliana, she made an excellent salad and was very friendly!

The best location of Jimmy the Greek Ive been to, the team is very helpful especially the girl who helped me pick my salad, Illiena I think. Love the food here.

The food is great. Service is great. The staff are super friendly and helpful. One of the workers, Iliana, was delightful and made my experience that much better. Would definitely come back again!

Delicious food...All the staff was very helpful especially the gril at the cash section (iliana)

This locations has excellent food and the service of the staff is great. Had the opportunity to served by Cristine in the salad section and she always greet customer with warm big smile.

love the salads

Delicious

So slowly!

The food was good and they have very well accommodated my diet restrictions

The girl who made my salad was very professional . I think her name was either Renjeina or Franchesca.

Thank you Renjeina for being so helpful! :)

I ve been coming here for well over a year on my lunch and have never been disappointed! Great food and amazing people, thanks for doing what you do best! - Liam

Best place to eat

terrible

First time enjoying this cuisine, will be back again and again! Almost an assembly line preparing my meal but dear god it was splendid!! Can t wait to dine again

I just love the veggie swalaki Everything is fresh and taste awesome. I love the white sauce.

Hope you like potatoes, always wind they put alot of potatoes. Chicken was a bit dry. Felt fine after witch isnt always the case after eating fast food. Staff were friendly how ever the staff WERENT WEARING GLOVES and the server touched the inside of my to go container with his thumb when he was grabbing it

Good food at a reasonable price and theres a good selection of food

So good always

So so.

At 2:40 pm today my friend and I was trying to order food but 2-3 employee was talking to a lady about some game and I tried to wave to get attention and they did not even look our way and there was an elderly woman there too looking at us and shaking her head . We really wanted to get food there but we had no choice but to go somewhere else. O think thats very unprofessional. 1 star is too much for that kind of behavior

Recently gonne back to Greek food, good and healthy meal not fry of MGs.

Just amazing food and very attentive staff!!! If I could give more stars I would! Their gyro salad is out of this world

Jimmy the Greek is my favorite restaurant in all shopping malls, but this one is a little bit disappointing. I always order Chicken Souvlaki meal but every time I order it at the Fairview mall location I regret. Unfortunately, it has never been fresh and chicken is always very tough and difficult to chew. Even salad dressing at this location tastes watery.

Good shawarma

Ordered roast lamb and it was trash. Only jimmy the Greek location I ve been to where to it was basically inedible. Hard and no flavour.

My wife loves to eat and goes to the mall every time. Everyone will eat here

One of the worst locations ever! And I have tried several across Toronto. The chicken is beyond bland. You could never guess it was even seasoned. The rice is bland. They font put feta on the salad or they may have forgotten. My salad came with none of the usual dressings. Really need to do better!

Too salty for my taste...

If I could give this store 0 stars, I would! This location has gone down hill. I used to come here so often and the food was amazing, but lately the chicken has either been dry, undercooked, or bad to the point where I felt sick after eating a chicken souvlaki meal. I don t know if it s the chicken itself or the lack of patience cooking it. I have previously worked in the food industry as well and I m aware of how fast the service needs to be, but the staff at this location is always in a rush to finish an order which leads me to my next point. I just had the worse experience at this place. I ordered my meals, but the guy with glasses at the salad section was occupied as he was talking with a friend. He completely messed up BOTH my meals by putting ingredients I specially said not to. When I tried to get them to change it, Ayana (not 100% sure if that s the name) was very disrespectful. She continuously tried to give me the meal I DID NOT ask for and when she had to change my meal, she a rude attitude. If i m paying $15 for one meal, the least it could be is what I asked for. The customer service at this location needs MAJOR improvement. I do not recommend going this location.

Its always good evertime

One word: Amazing The crew are absolutely fantastic and they re happy and enthusiastic. The food I got was hot, and very fresh. I couldn t ask for any better because this was an amazing visit. Now I have to try their new poutine!

whatever you do.. PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I ordered food here today to go... I was driving and decided to have a bite mid stop.. there was a cockroach in my food.. I repeat... a cockroach in my food!!!!! extremely unsanitary and unsafe!!!! whatever you do spare yourself.... im so disgusted

Would give 5 star, but found the gyros to be very soft, with no crispness to them at all. I did appreciate that it seems like they trimmed the chunks of fat off of the meat though. Otherwise, perfectly acceptable for fast food.

Quite yummy, especially for food court fair. I come here often for the spinach cheese pies.

Keep up the great service and great food I ate last week
