Esquire Restaurant has been a family owned business since it was first established in 1981. Since then many things have changed but our recipes have remained the same; being passed down from one generation to another. We believe food should be two things, fresh and tasty; that’s why we have gone to great lengths to ensure that our food is prepared from scratch and made fresh to order.
Food is made after you order so it is served fresh. Just have to wait a bit. Ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner and it comes with rice, potatoes, salad and bread with garlic sauce. Serving is big. Taste is great. Value is awesome. And now serving beer for less than $5!
Used to be the best place in town. Still pretty tasty but not quite as good. Portions are also way smaller and they seem to be heaping out on even the inexpensive stuff like the amount of rice you get and how much feta they put in your salad. A dinner from esquire used to be hard to finish! Now I’m still hungry after I’m done.
Busy Saturday night. We visit here often for Chicken Souvlaki Dinner with Rice/Potato and Salad. Tasty and juicy chicken. We always come here for Greek dinner.
Good spot for Greek food, decided to go with take out because they have a small dining area, ordered the chicken souvlaki w/salad, chicken was tender also make sure you have cash on you
Just had dinner with my mother here. We really enjoyed the experience and environment and the service the staff give (thank you for the extra sauce!) their food was delicious and filling. Thank you for your service and hospitality. - Patrick
The best place to get Greek food. I have been coming here since 1988 as a kid from high school. So many happy memories of the great food. Quality is still the same, friendly attentive staff and they are quick with your order. The souvlaki or gyros dinners are great as well as the pitas or bun options. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Cash only and cooked in front of you. Still tastes amazing as ever. My go to for Greek food in the GTA.
Always a great experience here. Had this a long time ago, but our friends ordered their food as when they’re feeling for Greek, this is where they go to. Got to try some elements of their meal and the pork was juicy. The gyro was nicely done and everything is so flavourful They can have huge lines and they do take phone orders, which is what I recommend, but even then with the amount of orders coming in, you might still have to wait a tad more Good thing is that they have a lot of people working hard and working through the orders. Great job overall!
It's my favourite greek place ever. I moved to Montréal and when I'm in Toronto, I'll always come for my chicken souvalaki dinner!! I will literally go out or travel far out of my way for this place. 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Excellent Greek food! A must try
Always fresh always good service
Been coming here for years!! Best place with excellent service!
10/10 definitely recommend! The service was amazing and food was delicious.
If you are hosting a party and looking to order foods, Esquire restaurant is a great restaurant to order from. Their foods are so tasty and very generous. Thank you Esquire restaurant team.
Excellent chicken souvlaki. Tender chicken skewers, rice, potato, home made tzatziki, salad with feta. Awesome. Not for nothin their home burgers are great as well
Great food, amazing!
Ive been eating here for over 20 years and I keep coming back. One of my fav souvlaki spots in the city. Ive had more drunken after club meals here than I can count. Although they have plenty of tables, this isnt your typical sit down restaurant (catering more to take out or quick dine in), if you want a good souvlaki meal this is the spot. I always go with the chicken souvlaki dinner with fries (if I feel frisky, I upgrade to greek fries - I love feta cheese though). Is nostalgia playing a part? Maybe. But Im never disappointed. Ive eaten souvlaki on the Danforth, Ive eaten souvlaki in Greece, and Esquires chicken souvlaki is still better, its just good. If you dont like it, then maybe greek food isnt for you, in which case go next door to Johnnys hamburger.
Food was very good
Great service eat here 2 times a week
Food is on point. Large portions and cooked to your liking. Customer service is awesome and atmosphere is always clean. Kid-friendliness: Kids are treated with patience and respect
Esquire is a classic restaurant thats been there every since the dinosaur era. If you havent try it you got to go and check it out.
Went there today for first time , tried to order a gyros dinner and the cashier told me they didn t have gyros so I said ok give me a chicken dinner , waiting for almost one hour for my food and the people coming to order i heard they ordered gyros pita and gyros dinner and she never said there was no more left so idk why she didn t wanna sell me gyros ? So
Great chicken souvlaki and Greek salads.
AMAZING spot for great quality food. Friendly staff and very clean place!
good food for the price
Im not sure when the new ownership took over, but this was my final visit. Gone downhill in all areas. Incredibly slow service. Cash only in 2024. Ridiculous. They had a good run.
We have been ordering for years! Chicken Slouvaki dinner and the falafel is our favourite. Esquire never disappoint!
Good food, good quality. Chicken souvlaki is great! Highly recommend!
Portions are great. The cook touches all the food with no gloves, the person who adds the toppings has no gloves on, and their fries tasted old and VERY greasy. The 8oz burger is juicy and the 8oz chicken is delicious.
Fantastic food and service! Always my go to when I m craving chicken souvlaki!
Great food!!
Great service with great food!
Perfect restaurant for having a good dinner
This place was packed with people when I came in store to order a takeaway. I ordered 2 chicken plate, the staff were not so friendly, they seemed to take orders very slow, they also handled food and cash without washing their hands, which I find it gross. The production line is also very slow too, I was told that I needed to wait 30 minutes, which I think its slow considering it is a fast food store, not a restaurant. The meat for some reason is very hard, Ive never had such a hard and difficult meat the chew, pita bread is over toasted, which I taste like very dry. Considering waiting for 30 minutes for a poor quality of food, I will not come back.
Always get full with a tasty meal
Great food
Very nice and clean restaurant
Chicken soulvaki is amazing
Good food. Will return
Favourite food in the area! Affordable prices. Clean environment. Fast service.

Some of the best Greek food in town! Definitely get the pork souvlaki platter
Food is amazing . This is the spot worth coming out for if you like Greek food !
Great food
Esquire souvlaki restaurant stands out with its amazing food, top-notch service, and welcoming atmosphere. The diverse menu offers something for everyone, but the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner and Fish Dinner are must-try favorites. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance make every visit memorable. Perfect for any occasion. Highly recommended!
The Food was SUPER SALTY.... the rice, the chicken, the potatoe
Cash only place. Their souvlaki is amazing and the portions are huge. Their homemade burger seems to be the fan favorite but to be honest I only go there for the chicken souvlaki. Would recommend.
My hubby and I went there for an early dinner and really enjoyed the souvlaki and gyros. It s always been our place ever since we moved in the area for the last decade. The tastes is always top -notched and never changed. We really enjoyed our meal and completely satisfied and left the place. About an hour passed I noticed I can t find my phone so my husband rang it thru his phone and lo and behold, the gentleman from Esquire answered telling I left my phone at the restaurant and he s safekeeping it for me. I would like to special mention and thank to Mr. Ibraim Humanath for being such an honest and kind gentleman. Esquire is so lucky and very fortunate to have a member of staff like him. Thank you Esquire and Ibraim! Hope to see you again soon!
Simply great greek food.
We ve been coming here for over 20 years. Food is always been consistent and delicious. We bring our friends from Mississauga and now they make the drive just to enjoy their food.

Been coming here for almost 30 years notnsure ifnownership changed but their potatoes are awful not cooked right and gyros they over cook them tasting charcoal burnt not happy
My absolute favorite place for YEARS. They dont have enough staff, phones are rarely answered for take out orders. Orders take so Long to prepare and there is no organization. Most of these problems started since the new management
The food and customer service and cleaoness of the restaraunt are up to par highly recommended spot to grab food if your in in the area

Outstanding Greek cuisine! Generous portions of the chicken souvlaki dinner. The salad, rice, potatoes, garlic bread, and the chicken are all fresh and very delicious, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!
We had Friday Special, (pork on a pita, salad & drink) for $15 including taxes. It was a perfect size meal ( small but satisfying), just what we wanted. Salad ingredients were fresh. Seasoning was excellent. Clean tables and washroom as well.
Food is phenomenal, aesthetics are nice & staff are very friendly - highly recommend!
Good food!

Great friendly service. Delicious greek style food.
generous portions, but they make it to order so expect a bit of a wait.
Amazing food experience, definitely recommend 10/10
Very good food and portions
Got takeout before and the food was great. Usually there is a long line, generally a sign of good food, but sucks to wait. Highly recommend ordering by phone to reduce your wait time.
Been coming for years and the food has always been delicious. Whenever I come back to Scarborough to visit family I stop in!
Always been coming here. Best Greek food in town, Yeeros Dinner with rice and potatoes is the OG classic. Can t recommend them enough.
