On October 18 2024 at 1.13pm after I pay for my meal I noticed the cashier looks like given free food to her friends or family members

Unprofessional service, does not even deserve 1 star. Ordered 1 chicken souvlaki meal for dine in yesterday. They made me wait 5 minutes at the counter trying to fix the machine, then said I need to walk all the way to the end of the mall to get cash from the bank. Mind you, I’m pregnant with a grocery bag on me. After another 15 minutes they call me over from the foodcourt (as I’m sitting down eating) pointing at the box of food that has been sitting there going cold for over 20 minutes to come pay for it. No thank you, you keep it, that’s yours now. Cheap service, cheap management. Overall disgusted by their staffs behaviour.

I have been eating here for almost a decade and the food somehow gets better every time. The staff are super friendly and the owner is an absolute delight. Hands down the best fast food out there!

I ordered 400$ worth of food for a funeral service. I came to pick up everything was steaming hot. The food was Uber delicious. So impressed. Thank you for your support during the hard time. Definitely will be back again soon

I ordered chicken souvlaki, it was horrible. The rice was dry, and the salad dressing was super salty. Customer service is zero of ten.

June 30, 2023

The lettuce was ROTTEN. Not just little brown spots, it was brown! Rice was crunchy too. How they could pack this up and hand it out is beyond me. Very disappointed and will never return. $20 down the drain

I know exactly what I'm getting when I go to Jimmy the Greek. I've had their pork and slovaki dinner since I was a kid and now my kid loves it. It's good value for the fast food meal, delicious and is exactly the way I remember it every time.

GARBAGE FOOD LEFT OVER FOOD. I ordered Calamari dinner here, and the calamari was all small left over pieces, barely any meat in it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, AVOID AT ALL COST.

We ordered lunch for our office from here on Doordash on 2023-03-13 and I ordered 2 pork souvlaki pita and I only received 1 and the company got charged for 2, the taste was good but what a ripoff!!. Just go in person and get your food dont order online.

Normally the servers at this location are okay but today this older lady was serving me and I asked for everything on the pita except cucumbers and she was like only two vegetarian items. I was annoyed and really should have walked away. They have a sign stating tomatos and onion with Pita but as its $8.99 for a pita I cant see why a little bit of lettuce with the onions and tomatoes is going to bankrupt them. I guess its time to go elsewhere.

December 22, 2023

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 has needed proper transparency and honesty about ingredients long enough.

Food is just not fresh. Wouldn t come back again

December 22, 2023

On May 2nd, 2023, I bought 2 pork souvlaki meals at this restaurant at Centerpoint Mall. All members of my family (kids and my wife) who ate the meals got poisoned. They all had cramping stomach pain. They did not eat anything but this Mr. Greek meal. I called to the restaurant and the manager, who called herself Anna, was unbelievably rude to me. We sent an email to the main office of Jimmy The Greek but did not get any feedback since then. So, that means they just dont care. Its a very frustrating attitude. We feel this place is not reliable anymore despite the fact we have been customers for 18 years.

I called to find out information about a catering order. They cant recommend sizes based on the number of people I was ordering for (laughing saying I am not sure) and then I got disconnected. I tried to call back and no answer. Dont waste time giving this location any business. They dont care for it or else they would give better customer service.

December 22, 2023

The food was like leftovers. I hope I dont get sick. The old lady refused to give me tap water. I dont recommend this place to anybody. Just mind your health!

I just picked up lunch at the Centrepoint Mall location. I got the veggie souvlaki meal. I was really looking forward to it because I ve had it a couple of times before and it was pretty tasty. The employee working there told me I d have to wait 10 minutes for them to grill the kabob, which I totally don t mind, especially if it means my food will be fresh. It was not fresh . The kabob looked old and shrivelled. There were vegetables I couldn t identify. I think a couple of them were zucchini? I could only tell by the seeds on the inside, after accidentally biting into one (see photo). I can only describe them as goopy. The mushrooms smelled like a movie theatre restroom. Really, really, gross stuff. I actually had to move the souvlaki veggies to the other side of the room while I ate the rice and salad because it smelled so bad. I gave the establishment two stars because the rest of the meal was fine, but I don t think I can ever eat there again.

Ive had the chicken dinner many times. In the past, their chicken had a very crispy skin with tender meat underneath which was perfection! But a few times recently it was just soft, so Im not sure what happened. Also the potatoes are sometimes partially cooked on one side and not so much on the remaining of it. Overall during the many times Ive been there I felt like they perfected this dish, will visit again and see if the old quality is back. Credit to 1 or 2 kind servers there also!

December 22, 2022

The cashier there is the most rude and amongst the worst and cheapest people on earth , Her height is about 175 cm and her skin is light and I think she is Iranian ( Persian ) customer service is horrible , she was very rude and unpleasant and need to be retrained on what proper customer service is. Never again. ,Worst jimmy the Greek location!!!

The asian cashier lady is very friendly. Food is also really tasty and the portion hasnt changed since Ive been going there for over 20 years.

December 22, 2022

Clearly different portion of salad depending on person who serve you food. Never lie to customers please..I had over 15yrs experience in restaurant and still working as a chef. I often go this location to get chicken souvlaki meal or pita..and I got the terrible portion of salad which made me even feel bad about it today. Do you think am I writing this review without reason? Please be kind and honest your customers.

BEWARE CROSS CONTAMINATION RISK. I ordered a chicken souvlaki pita and watched an employee handle my pita with the same tongs they used to handle raw chicken. I cancelled my order immediately and told them what I had seen them do, but they didnt seem to care. I decided to stick around and watch how they handled the rest of the food they were preparing and they continued to cross contaminate everything.

Excellent food: their souvlaki dinners are delicious, and are beautifully catered as well: we used the place a few times already for when we have friends over and we want to impress. We can focus on the visit and conversation rather than food preparation. Thank you guys!

Generous portions for the price - we got the gryos meal and there was fresh salad, rice, potatos and lots of meat. Sure more food than what you can get from McDs for the same price. Lol. The server was nice and stirred the gyros around so that it had more sauce before serving it. My friend wanted Greek food and I wanted Chinese, so it was convenient to have both at CenterPoint mall.

Its fast food but better than most of this type. Especially if you get freshly made souvlaki of the grill.

These Filipinos working here are amongst the worst and cheapest people on earth. Always try to purposely charge you extra thinking they can get away with it while giving you food under the normal portion. This place is pathetic, customer service is horrible, Im very surprised they are not closed by now.

Food is just okay. Sometimes the staff are stingy on the portions. The quality of the food is usually good. The staff is hard to rate because it all depends on who is working there and who is serving the food. The prices went up about a couple of months ago. One example: $12.85 for a chicken souvlaki dinner. Yikes.

Food is DISGUSTING!!! The owner wearing outside jacket while getting food for herself, with her hair down too, contaminating the food. Worst jimmy the Greek location!!!

Purchased Roast Chicken Dinner, Chicken was half raw. Employee was very cheap with the serving. Asked for extra cheese on the salad she gave me a weird look and put extra nothing. $8.99 Roast Chicken Dinner tax one .45 tax two .72 total $10:16 Not even worth $5.00 couldn t eat the chicken it was raw. Not returning. Hope I don t get sick from eating half cooked chicken.

I dont understand what is so good about this place. What I really want to know is if the kitchen is clean.

December 22, 2018

Very overpriced. Very overrated. Food is average at best. $13 for a chicken souvlaki dinner is excessive. Should not be more than $10 tops for this quality of food at these small portions. Owner is very very snotty as well. Owner would be out of business if it wasnt for the filipinos that run it.
