The Favourite Greek in Peterborough

Great lunch specials. Honestly, the most food for the best price dowtown. Great service, booths are very private.

I like it. Its clear that the staff is trying very hard and they are doing well. I wish the best to everyone who works there.

Everything was excellent, the food, the service, such a cute quaint little restaurant, the lamb was cooked to perfection, and the Greek salad reminded me of my babas growing up. The Saganki is always a must get visiting any authentic Greek restaurant.

Mediocre food, got take out to eat in the park and they didn t include utensils or napkins so had to turn around and go back.

We really enjoyed the food.

Dietary restrictions: Much of the food is naturally gluten free, not sure if the kitchen is set up for celiac requirements. Food

Good food, great value and the staff are friendly and helpful!

What a wonderful experience..I forgot how good the food is. Definitely return soon. Get the Saganaki ! Opah Food : 5/5 |

Stopped in for lunch and we had the 3 dip appetizer which was delicious. We all ordered off the lunch menu and were pleased with our choices. We ll definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Veggie pita

The food is so good here.

Great food, good prices, friendly service. What more could you ask for?

Good food, good service, reasonable prices.

Amazing food!

I adore this restaurant! We go at least once to twice per month as a result. The servers (especially Sherry and Shelly) always go out of their way to help my family feel comfortable, welcome and have a great time! The food is really great - the greek salad is a huge hit and my kids love the pita wraps. We get teh hummus every time we go! One of my kids openly jokes that they dont like hummus unless it is from there! I greatly also appreciate how accommodating they are to ensure one person in our group is well looked after. My favorite Greek is truly the best of a local business: great food, great service and great atmosphere! There is a reason this place has been around for so long!

Since Akropolis Bakery closed in Toronto, I havent been able to get good spanikopita until we discovered this little gem in Peterborough. The best Ive ever had! Very reasonably priced at $13.95, which included lemon potatoes and a fabulous Greek salad. Our server was very personable and very polite. We will definitely be back. 10 out of 10.

Brandon is the best ever- Deek

Great price for a great dinner, will order again

Simple tasty menu, great accommodating service, typical costs, cozy private atmosphere.

The food here is, as the name might suggest, my favourite Greek anywhere east of Toronto! The servers are great but the food does take some time to get to you. If youre in a hurry, not your best bet but if you can order ahead or have time to relax and enjoy, I highly recommend.

Great food but not.good servers they never check.to see how all is.

Ive both dined in and had take out. The spanakopita and vegetarian platter are favourites. Dining in has been a family friendly experience with my child. The service is attentive, the food is delicious, and once when there was an error with one of my online orders they were communicative and focused on customer service. Great food and service!

I ordered a gyro platter to go. Other than the pita and salad, it was almost inedible. The salad was also over dressed but it was ok at least. The meat was a very weird texture and flavour, which should have warned me for what came next: I ve been sick since I ate it last night. I will not be returning

Saturday night dinner service, large party reserved 3 weeks in advance, they only had 2 servers, huge servings, took forever for drinks and appetizers and then food. It was OK. Poor waitress was run off her feet. Compensated her by way of tip, but boss should of had an extra wait staff. Vegetarian options: All kinds of salads, rice appetizers. Dietary restrictions: Lots, typical Greek menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Street level, room to move around.

As always the food was perfect the atmosphere was more than enjoyable highly recommend this place!

Great place good food ,friendly staff . I have been going there for yrs .

Just dropped in for a Greek salad. Nice lunch. So many panhandlers on the sidewalk makes me avoid the area now.

The best Greek food I have eaten. The potatoes melt in your mouth. And if you like garlic you will love the tzatziki. The hot pepper feta dip is also a must!

Went for dinner last night. The restaurant was busy and the serving staff seemed to be overwhelmed. This however did not impact our rating. The food was not great. The chicken souvlaki had no flavor, the potatoes were bland, the gyros was dry and had no flavor. We were excited to try this place based on reviews and were very disappointed.

Food is almost always excellent. Lamb souvlaki...

This place never disappoints us! We absolutely love eating here and just got take out for the first time there and it was absolutely delicious!! I had a chicken euro pita with Greek fries!!! Mm! Staff are amazing and food is even better! Thanks!

Excellent food and service.

I love love love this place. Any time I am in Peterborough, it has become tradition to stop in here at least once. Incredible food and the staff are absolutely wonderful.

Excellent and friendly staff. Gave you time and space for your meal. Calamari - bland. Chewy, soggy. Perhaps under cooked? Main dish - chicken was very good. Fries cold. Greek Salad was too salty for my liking. As we sampled a bit from everyone dish we came to the conclusion there is a lot of salt in the food. Too much for you to taste and enjoy the food. I am not sure if Greek food is supposed to be salty because of proximity to the ocean/sea? Happy to see the Greek potatoes were red and not standard white. Very lemon. Again - maybe too much as it tasted loke a lemon with a potato consistency. Maybe this is what it is supposed to be and I have it wrong. I was expecting a hint of lemon. We ended up taking most of the food home to eat later and off set with other foods to compensate for the salt. Lots of street parking. Free on the weekends.

The best pork dinner I have ever eaten ! 10 outta 10 would go back and recommend !!! Saganaki is a must Derek the young gentle man was amazing

Great place for a quick and cheap lunch, one of my regular stops. Pitas are always delicious. If you get a side of fries, Id ask for Greek Fries, the plain ones are totally unseasoned.. Call ahead if youre ordering takeout and avoid the wait.

Favourite Greek provided the meal for our wedding day as well as the late night snack platters, and everything was excellent! Our reception lunch was perfect with plenty of food and taste was great. For the late night snacks, George delivered the wrap and snack platters on his was home from work and was so nice to do that. Highly recommend - great food and great service.

I love Greek food. This is my favorite place in Peterborough. Never disappointed.

We have ordered take out or delivery from here a handful of times over the course of the pandemic. I don t think we will order here again. While the food is decent, the portions are small for the price you re paying. A chicken slouvaki dinner at places like Souvlaki Pit or even Jimmy the Greek are much larger and worth what they re charging.

Great lunch spot!

Delicious food! Highly recommend the Greek fries!

We had reservations and glad we did. Many patrons came in while we were there. So this place is popular. The lamb kebobs, Greek salad, potatoes and rice were delicious. The appetizers we shared were plentiful and tasty. Will gladly go again.

Great food, big portions. Will definitely come back!

Weve been here a couple of times and the food is pretty good but we had a bit of a strange visit last time. I made a reservation for four and we were there on time. I dropped my wife and kids off while I parked the car. My wife texted me while I was parking saying there was no reservation under my name. They didnt let her sit in a reserved table. I didnt make an issue out of it because we got a table but when I was paying I could clearly see my name and number on the list of reservations. When I pointed this out, they acknowledged it but offered no explanation or apology. Just very odd. I can only think it was because we had kids? As I said, the food was good but we wont ever be returning.

We had dinner at the favorite greek last week. The food was awesome and priced reasonably. Our server Sher was fast and funny as hell.. nice to see somebody who seems to enjoy her job. Kid-friendliness: There was a table beside us with some kids that were kind of bored and our server kept them emtertained as she would walk past them.

Food and service is always great!

Portions were quite small for the price. Food tasted good but only gave the choice of rice or potatoes not both when getting the souvlaki dinner. I ordered two large dinners and it came with 5 pieces of meat in each which looked like maybe 1 skewer.

For someone like me that eat pork on a regular basis, their pork souvlaki is one of the best Ive had! Great value too!

Absolute best gyro I ve had! They make it absolutely perfect every time! I would suggest giving it a try I can promise you won t be disappointed. The portions are amazing and you certainly won t be hungry afterwards!

Our group had a great meal, the service was spot on. Good gluten free options too.

Alexandra has been a server for nine years and it shows!! Kind, courteous, prompt and professional service from all the staff! The lamb souvlaki? Best I ve had in 20 years! We really enjoyed our meal and would recommend to our best friends!

Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere! Vegetarian options: I had the greek Salad which was great! Food : 5/5 |

Excellent food , good portions and very reasonably priced !

This was the best Souvlaki meal I have had in a long time. The pork Souvlaki was excellent and then salad very good but where this meal shined was the rice and potato that were done to perfection. Really lived this place!

Small food portions

Excellent food at great prices.

We had The Favourite Greek cater for our staff appreciation event last night and wow, was it ever good!! Plus, there was so much food that our staff are now enjoying the leftovers the next day. I would highly recommend The Favourite Greek not only for their service and for their pricing but especially for their incredible food! 10/10.

2 items on the menu and neither are good and not anything to customize. save your money and just go somewhere else.

The Favourite Greek catered lunch for my daughters graduation party and we were all very impressed by the quality, service and cost. I called the day of the party which didnt give much notice and was very impressed that the staff was able to promptly fill my order for pickup. The food was plentiful to feed 10 guests and there was even leftovers. I would definitely recommend this place and will order again for future gatherings.

Amazing food and price. Specially serving by Derek. Thank you all!! Nice Greek spot all should try Food

Tasteless food and blah ambience. Would not recommend it to anyone

Always delicious and well made. Love the chicken, potatoes, rice and salad especially. We frequently get takeout from here, eating in is very nice too. Parking: Downtown street parking available. Parking garages nearby as well.

Had the Thursday special Pork Souvlaki with Greek salad and potatoes for $10.99 awesome food at an awesome price !

Service and food were both awesome.

Ordered takeout. Worst Greek food I have ever eaten. Souvlaki was dry. Tzatziki had no flavour. Potatoes were undercooked. Salad had very little feta and tomatoes were soggy. Will never be going back here.

Excellent customer service. I love their lunch specials! Delicious and amazing prices! Got a pork souvlaki platter for take out lunch and a pork pita wrap for under $20! Amazing quality and quantity.

Cant say I was impressed. For the amount paid to the amount of food received, I would not recommend. Chicken was small and dry and rice was cold. First and last.

Always great food and always generous, the waiters are fantastic. Overall though its a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food that is made super quick! Youre my number one choice in town.

We tried this restaurant for the first time today and I can easily say this will become a regular location we choose to eat at. The chicken souvlaki was cooked incredibly and the flavour was fantastic , they also have one of the best if not the best Greek salad I ve had.

great lunch deal! movie and dinner deal still happening as of this posting!

Pita bread was useless it was cut into tiny triangles. The food was cold no flavour on the rice good thing it cost me $60 will not be ordering from here again. Not my favourite Greek

Excellent family greek restaurant. Was busy so we knew we had found a gem...food good, nothing fancy but good, prices good, shared appetizer was excellent...only small complaint was the wine glasses seemed small for the price they charge. Would highly recommend eating here.

Best food in Peterborough.

We ordered two chicken Souvlaki meals online. The website clearly states 3 sticks of grilled souvlaki sticks served with and the picture shows the same for $21.99. We picked up our meal and when we opened things up, there was only one stick of chicken in each meal. Super outrageous for the price. When I called to question they explained that they changed their menu over 6 months ago and online is old. Instead of 3 sticks of chicken you now receive one 6 oz stick of chicken . It definitely didn t seem like 6 oz of chicken. Regardless, it was super disappointing (we are also repeat customers up until this point) and a complete waste of money and we will NOT be ordering from here again.

Always love this place. Food is fantastic and service is wonderful. We go often. Their Greek fries are amazing. Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarian. Kid-friendliness: We bring our kids often. They have colouring, are fast, patient and have candies for after the kids love.

Has such a pleasant time. Waitress was awesome and so was the food!

Good experience. The feta salad is ok. The Spanakopita is ok. Not impressive but Im happy with the experience.

Good place

Had tender pork souvlaki and tzatsiki was excellent! Very flavorful and had a nice little garlic sting. Potatoes were good too! Recommend this place if you live or pass through Peterborough.

Good Greek option in Peterborough. Lamb chops are a standout - meaty, fresh, cooked perfectly. Good value considering the portion. If you re a lamb fan, they re a must. Good sized salad. Potatoes and other dishes (souvlaki, tigania, calamari) were ok but not exceptional. Overall though recommend the food Good service, friendly owner.

Got the lunch special.. a lot of food for the price you pay! It was really good.. and staff are nice.

Split a appetizer plate and calamari. Was very good. Will return.

The best Greek food in town!! Friendly staff and such a great atmosphere.

Im sorry because normally I enjoy the food here and so do my friends but I ordered from doordash and Im pretty disappointed this time around. The salad was mostly massive chunks of tomato that I had to cut up and was swimming in so much dressing that it was dripping out of the container onto my table, and my chicken gyro wrap had a huge piece of bone in the first bite that I could have choked on had I not noticed it. Kept it at 3 stars because it does taste good but a little more care could be put into prep.

Excellent delicious freshly prepared Greek food at a reasonable price. Fast friendly service. Couldn t get much better.

My husband and I have come here a few times only because its basically the only Greek restaurant in Peterborough. Food is pretty authentic and tasty. Staff very friendly and food service. Only downfall is the bathroom door that is always open from the basement and you can smell it from the moment you walk in. I used the bathroom once and had to hold my breath. It was disgusting.

With the majority of restaurants in Peterborough taking up permanent residence in gouge town ($$$), The Favourite Greek s lunch special is a welcome treat. It s a generous portion, with fresh ingredients. Oh, and I highly recommend the hot sauce. Do yourself a favour and just pour the whole container on your food, don t test it first. Then I can take comfort in knowing I haven t suffered alone. HOLY COW IT S SPICY!!!

Excellent food and service.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices.

Best Greek food we have had in a long while. Definitely returning. Staff working hard. Be patient and enjoy.

My daughter and I had lunch here yesterday. It was very busy but we were promptly seated and received our order really quickly. The waitress was lovely and attentive. We both ordered off the lunch menu. I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate (3 skewers, potato, Greek salad, tzatziki) and I got a pita on the side and my daughter had a Greek salad. We both LOVED our food. Everything was perfection and it was less than $30 including taxes and tip. Very impressed! Will go back again.

I find it beyond strange Tzatziki doesnt come with the family sized dinner. Never in all my years in Toronto have you not had it included with Souvlaki dinners. If you ask for extra ok charge but this should be included. Its disappointing after spending almost $100 delivery through skip the dishes.

Great souvlaki.

Perfect souvlaki dinner!

The food is ok but very expensive and they have terrible hours. I don t understand why they are closed for almost half the week. And being closed on a weekend is just something I can t seem to understand.

Excellent food and service!

Great food good service

Exceptional. A Peterborough institution. George could very well be a Greek god in kitchen crocs. The lamb souvlaki with potatoes and red wine is the way to go (very reasonably priced).

Best Greek food money can buy, and for a great price. The appetizer platter is a meal in itself, with homemade red pepper feta dip, tzatziki, and hummus. Greek salad is loaded with feta, and the potatoes steal the show. 10/10

Great lunch specials, good price. The lamb souvlaki pita was tasty.

We had just the Greek salad with chicken. It was by far one of the best salads Ive ever had. Recommend this meal. Place was clean and friendly staff.

Great staff, better food. Try the geek fries you will be addicted. Easy to order on any delivery app or pick up these days. Nice dining room when open.

My favourite restaurant in Peterborough! The staff are fantastic, the food is delicious, portions are generous and the prices are reasonable! I am obsessed with the feta hot pepper dip! I now live in Alberta but find myself thinking about and missing this restaurant (probably more frequently than I care to admit).

Being Greek I must say I use to order from here once a week for the family and work but every time I do, they always seem to miss items. It gets annoying and they value Skip delivery than those customers waiting. Told 5 mins all the time but Skip deliver drivers take priority, 20 mins after 5 minutes told to wait leaves a bad impression. This Greek is taking his business else where.

Excellent solvlaki. We had both pork and chicken. Greek potatoes are very tasty. Very friendly staff on phone and for pick up. Highly recommended!

Huge fan of their greek food. Service and Covid protocol is always tops. Had my first gyro today from Favroute Greek and let me tell you DELICIOUS. my mind is completely blown. Hands down absolutely the best pita situation Ive ever eaten. Souvlaki will always be near and dear to my heart- but she gonna take a little back seat. Gyro you are glorious!

My favorite restaurant. The food is always hot and delicious. Amazing customer service.

best greek food in the City.

All plates we ordered were quite tasty.

Chicken Greek wraps are soooo delicious!! And priced right

Food is always fantastic. Portions are great. Would recommend to anyone!

Excellent service, thanks Alex. Portions were great and yummy!

Price to food ratio and quality of food is very good. $9.49 for lunch special. Greek salad, potato, meat and tzatziki. Very good flavour as well. Great customer service too. Love this place. My go to when visiting Peterborough.

The food is always delicious, the staff are always friendly and the environment is always clean. An absolutely fantastic experience! I recommend trying the Red Velvet cheesecake, youre welcome in advance.

Good food and and an even greater price.

Great authentic fresh greek food

Do not order from them. I placed an order on door dash, and after 1h and 20 min door dash never picked up (not the restaurant fault). I called the restaurant and the food was ready at 4:40 (its now 5:28) and the girl said DoorDash never has drivers. so WHY are they giving business to door dash? I cancelled the door dash order and got the delivery fee refund of 2.99$. then we sent someone to pick up the order from this place. When they arrived the fav Greek said we needed to pay AGAIN because door dash wont pay them. Door dash doesnt give you a full refund, just the delivery fee.the store said we cant have the food! We explained we cant pay twice and they said they are going to just throw out the food. So we showed them that we were still charged and they refused to give us food. They would rather throw 69$ worth of food away then give it to us WHO PAID and not call door dash and deal with them. Disgusting customer service. Do not use this company if you are using door dash, they need to learn to use a different delivery service.

Food is always delicious, hot and enough to bring home for a snack the next day.

Very friendly staffs

Food here is very good .

The ABSOLUTELY best Greek restaurant in town. Not only is the food and ambiance out of this world but the owner George is spectacular!!! I would go as far as saying if he were a Greek GOD and thats still being decided that he would be Zeus. 1000% a must go to if you have never been! Ask for George and ladies hes taken...sorry. Kent Leckie

By far, the best Greek food Ive had in Ontario! We came for a day trip in Peterborough and looked up best restaurants in Peterborough. Found The Favourite Greek and were not disappointed. Wonderful and friendly service. The house red wine is amazing. The Greek salad was refreshing and tasty. The chicken souvlaki and lamb chops were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The best Greek rice Ive ever had in my life! We will come back to Peterborough just to eat here!

Placed an order for lamb and beef gyro with greek fries. I was looking online and was having a tough time deciding what I wanted. I decided to ask via facebook messenger if I could still place an order as it was close to advertised closing. They were happy to accept my order and when I arrived to pick up my order I found out it was in fact probably the owner I had spoken too and he and the staff were very friendly and my food exceeded my expectations for what I paid. Of course dealing with a food order through messenger is not common but the prompt reply and service was appreciated as these days it is hit or miss finding some places that are even open. Will be back more often for take out for sure.

Incredible Greek food for a very fair price! Highly recommend their Greek fries!

The food was served cold, i dont understand why they would do that, it was not even the rush hour.

Food is exceptional and the various dips are delicious all at a reasonable cost.

Great place, good food and friendly staff. Our go to in Peterborough.

Great restaurant, good food and service.

very good food for a reasonable price

Its a typical Greek eatery in a very interesting place with a lot of old pictures.

Are you looking for absolutely delicious Greek food in a casual-chic setting served with a smile? Then definitely stop by here (but make a reservation; it is packed on the weekend!). Even without a reservation, the lovely staff seated us at a bar and then quickly got us a table within 5 or 10 minutes on a packed Friday evening. Everything we ordered was the proper temperature, delicious, authentic, and came quickly (we were bar to cheque within an hour). This place has exceeded my expectations!

Good food, reasonable prices, central location.

Awesome family dining or if you just want to have a nice night out. Always a great choice.

amazing Greek restaurant in Peterborough

Excellent food and service. We have been here before and it always great food.

Great service. Try the saganaki. Food great. Nice clean washrooms and great decor.

Best greek food in Peterborough

Great food great speedy service

Love the food and the family makes you feel like youre home

Amazing food!

I called The Favorite Greek at 2:30 this afternoon to preorder my dinner. I asked for it to be delivered for 6:30. Well it was as prompt as it could be. The food was hot, VERY tasty and there was PLENTY to go around. Dawn took my order and was EXTREMELY friendly. She took the time to explain my options and gave me a price point.

Not fair to rate because Im used to buying Greek food from the Greek District on the Danforth in Toronto but not bad

The Greek Fries are delicious!

First time ordering from this restaurant, tasted absolutely amazing! Will be back

Ordered catering for six people and received barely enough food for three. 12 wedges of potato for 6 people... salad and chicken equally small proportioned. Had to order more food from another restaurant. Disappointed.

Such a great place and awsome pricing too! The service is quick and friendly. The food is excellent and consistent every time I visit! I love going there for lunch as their service is efficient.

Ordered the gyro platter and was severely disappointed. For 17$ I recieved meat and fries, with a small greek salad. It is my own fault for assuming it would be a gyro, and not just meat and fries thrown in styrofoam. My husband got the souvlaki dinner, which was equally as disappointing (the food was great.) Got extra fries, feta, and an extra tzatziki and pitas and it was 60$ total. Definitely not worth it. Will not be ordering again.

We ordered two gyro on a pita and the meat tasted so delicious, fresh and flavourful as well as the pita very satisfying. We will definitely be returning!

The staff here is always so incredibly friendly, the food is amazing, and the price is much better then most places! You really can t get much better than that! 100% recommend!

Great lunch special, always consistent, great value.

Best family restaurant ever!! Love the pepper dip!!

Love the food. Service is great.

Good food. The atmosphere was really family style. Also the $18 dollar appetizer platter has become a joke with us. Anytime my wife says something is expensive I say its half the price of a Greek platter. Was like a couple dips and a few pitas for almost $20. They gotta look at that pricing. Also looked like it was thrown together. The mains were good. Wife said pork was up there with best pork shes eaten.

Hands down the best greek food Ive ever had, You can tell its homemade and there is care put into your meal. I had the lamb dinner and my wife had the chicken, both of our meals were cooked perfect and the waitress was very attentive. Our bill was $58 for our dinner and two glasses of wine ..great value! My only suggestion is to call ahead for a table, we did have to wait a few minutes (but it was worth it!!) We will be back soon

Great food and reasonably priced too

Amazing food

Fresh tasty food, reasonably priced.

The food was good had flavor good price

Great food nice atmosphere

The food and service was excellent. I cant wait to go back

Great food

Quaint, cozy, friendly and the food is good

Excellent as always

Great food, great service, and relatively quick even with a lunch crowd!

Food was great! It was out first time there for lunch. My elderly parents liked the lunch prices.

Love it had the lamb fantastic

Great service and delicious food!

Service was great, food was ok. Very reasonably priced.

Fabulous Greek food and Greek along with many other greek dishes

A wonderful wonderful experience and a great great meal. The service was the young server brought us an appetizer it was. We will be back soon thank you for a great experience.

Very good lamb chops!!

Had dinner and loved it. Greek fries seem to be a local favourite, had the saganaki (brandy flambe cheese and pita), hot pepper feta dip (another local favourite) and the tigania for two. I over ate because it was so tasty.

Once again, super delicious foodstuffs. Pleasant atmosphere, pleasing staff, and for dinning out, reasonable cost for service and Quantity. If you like Greek, its pretty good. ;)

Excellent food and service great place to eat

Subpar

best greek food you will ever have.

Great food, great prices, staff was very friendly...I would go again

Great food

Greek Fries, need I say more?? Have enjoyed this spot since it was Alexandros back in the early to mid 2000s. So good!
