The food quality is terrible. The worst gyro ever. The meat smelled bad and the portion was tiny.
Jimmy the Greek at Scarborough Town Centre delivers a solid experience if you’re in the mood for Greek food on the go. The setup is clean and bright, with a familiar blue-and-white color scheme that feels welcoming. Service is straightforward and quick, which works well for the fast-casual vibe. I tried the Gyros Meal, and it came together nicely. The rice was hearty, the potato had a tangy, salty kick, and the Greek salad added a fresh contrast to the plate. While the salad was a bit understated in flavor, it did the job of balancing the meal. The star was the gyro meat—tender, well-seasoned, and even better with a generous scoop of tzatziki. One thing to note: they charge $0.10 for bags, so be prepared. Prices are fair for the portion size, making it a good choice for a satisfying and relatively quick meal. It’s not the most extravagant Greek food you’ll ever have, but it hits the spot when you’re craving the classics.
The lady that prepares the food is very rude. I repeated my order twice, she got it wrong & put cheese when I asked for no cheese as I’m allergic. I threw away my order and bought food elsewhere. Don’t waste your time here. The lady always seems to be in a bad mood.
This was my first time visiting. I got a gyro pita wrap. I feel that the toppings could have been distributed more evenly across the pita. All the flavors were delicious.
My family and I stopped at the mall after a long trip for dinner. I love Jimmys and I prefer to go there rather than anywhere else. But after what happened this weekend I will 1000 times think if I want to ever. Any location always friendly and do what I ask. It much appreciated. And this time I also asked to put a bit more olives - just 2-3 pieces and I was told that I have to pay for that. Excuse me??? Are you kidding me? And this is at the same time where I was about to spent almost $100. Of course I said no. It’s been so disappointing. Then I paid and sat at the table. But didn’t finish all the food and the plate was ripped. So I asked for an empty plate to put leftovers in but I was told that I have to pay for the plate by the person on the photo. And she used the tone like I really pissing her off. It’s unappropriated service from Jimmys. Of course I said no again and I really hope that this “lady” will be fired asap. Hope this feedback will be read by corporate. Not sure if I want to eat and use their service at any location any more.
I will always support this location and never had bad food nor bad customer service. We always order the chicken souvlaki dinner and devour it with satisfaction. The owner is a super duper nice Guy who values his employees and most of all his customers
Not so bad food here. I ordered the roast chicken meal. The flavour of the chicken, salad, the dressing and tzaziki tasted good. The chicken was kind of dry and comes small in size. The ingredients of the salad looked fresh. Portions were just right, the meal is enough to fill you up. The asian lady that served us was nice and worked fast. The prices could be cheaper. Quality seemed to have gone down over the years, but its still one of the better options to eat at in stc.
JTG never disappoints with their regular meals. Been a regular customer over the years for flavourful items and affordable prices. Now we tasted the veggie and meat poutine options. They are under <$10. Lots of properly cooked potatoes with cheese and gravy. Tastes better than traditional heavy poutines. Will recommend.
Fire Tanya, She is so rude and absolute trash worker She have no respect for customers She was so rude while taking orders and then prepared food without wearing gloves!! Fire Tanya
I purchased the chicken Calamri and my God its uncooked and few for meal
went tonight around 8:30 pm. The food was extremely cold and the chicken was not cooked at all.
Good portion. Good service
Very happy with the service, the food, and the cleanliness.
The worst place in Scarborough town centre I order today chicken souvlaki but the chicken not cooked good and the rice too not cooked never go again there I wasted my money I spent 20 dollars very bad food i thought the food
I loved their spinach rollz.. its the best.. 100% recommeded..
Worst customer experience over the phone, if you re going to place an order for a party call when they open, had to yell over the phone so they could hear me, the background noise was louder than their voice, then they hung up mid sentence. Said they could fill an order in 2 hours called back and their decision changed to no with a very rude tone, I understand they work in a busy environment but don t have someone quote one thing and then change your minds.
I used to love this place when I was younger. Just arrived back in Canada after more than a decade and noticed every single workers was Indian. The entire food court was filled with Indians as well. This was jarring since I just came back from New Delhi. Order three pork souvlakis and took it home. The meat was small portions and very dry compared to before, and then all three members of my family got stomach cramps and diarrhea... I looked online and see there is a crisis of non-integrating Indian immigrants now. Just thinking about the food handling practices I saw daily in India and that becoming the norm here is making my blood run cold. To add insult to injury, it cost almost $50 for three poisoned meals and Delhi belly. I would avoid unless your already used to sub-standard hygienic practices.
Always fresh salads and foods.
A cashier lady at this location absolutely rude and this is not a first comment about her .
I had to come on here and say thank you for the absolutely wonderful dinner that you catered to my party, food was on point , chicken was nicely seasoned and cooked, all very big generous pieces of chicken. Well done ! I ordered the chicken souvlaki,rice, potatoes,salad, all were party sized full trays and nicely packed. Thank you kindly, been a Jimmy customer since the 90s.
Very good food and service
This is my second time writing a review this cashier shouldn t be there she is soo rude she is either Somalian or something but so rude she never say thank u or anything and Shayne fired she doesn t like her job and always acts like a store owner
Jimmy the Greek has very fresh food, vegetables and efficientcy with a smile. Today I enjoyed a Greek salad with a chicken Souvlaki and a spanakopita. This is a fantastic operator thats bringing high quality products and good portions! Thank you very much for a fantastic lunch Opa! Parking: Covered parking and a clear walkway during snowfall to the mall entrance is very helpful.
horrible greasy food with no taste, gave me a stomache ache i wish i read reviews before putting myself through eating this. Stay away.
Great food and amazing customer service!
Love their Chicken Meal served with rice, potatoes, and salad. You can ask to pour gravy on the chicken. Dont forget to get celery and carrots, which is part of the ingredients you can ask for. Try their pork souvlaki in pita bread with tomatoes and onions. Its good. Quick service. Parking by the mall.
I was given the wrong kind of meat and didnt realize until I was at my car. Quick service but these mistakes shouldnt happen.
Shameeee you dont have yogurtttttttt aloneeee you only have tzatziki
This is my first order at this place. Food tastes light and delicious What I personally like about the food is the light seasoning and spices. The salad dressing also tastes great. Recommended Food : 4/5 |
We ordered chicken souvlaki combo. We took the food out and had it at home. Salad is good, chicken is not properly cooked. Potato was horrible.
If I could I d give 0 stars. The food has gone from bad to worst as well as the service. Raw shrimp and absolutely tasteless food. Hard potatoes and rice. I ordered the shrimp combo they said it would take 5 mins to cook they came out in less then 1 min. The customer service is horrible and in my experience I called and spoke to someone whom said to only bring in my receipt the day after then when I went in they actually wanted me to keep the food overnight and bring it in. I came in with the receipt the following day and they lied and said they told me to bring the food which they didn t. And on top of that they said come in the day after with the food (3 days later) like I have time to waste. Please avoid this restaurant.
The food and space is clean. The food flavour is good and portions are good also .
Good food!
Ive been going to this location for many years, because its close to my home. They are VERY stingy with the salad portions! I dont understand why! It is now $15 for a salad and chicken fillet....today, they gave me 2 olives, 5 pieces of cucumber, and 5 pieces of tomato, and thats because I asked for more, if I didnt it would be less....its ridiculous...better service at Fairview Mall or Pickering locations. Avoid them if you can! Its the worse ever! And the staff are unfriendly and dont care. Wish I had taken a photo before eating....
Man... 15 bucks for half a cup of rice, a chicken kebab and some salad? Wow! Forget this! Ill stick with zobra the Greek. They are way more generous with the portion and cheaper too! Food is much better as well. Forget this over expensive franchise! Never again.
Bought from this location all the time, even with their poor service and small portions. But, I can not keep buying from here after they served me spoiled food. If you want to eat fresh and delicious food, dont go here!
The staff here threw an absolute fit when I asked them to replace the lettuce portion of the me with literally any other vegetable. I understand times are tough, but Ive never encountered another business willing to verbally abuse a customer over asking for more tomatoes or onions.
Excellent food!
chicken slovaki messed up my stomach.
There Shawarma was amazing..
Huge and delicious burgers.
It was a nice surprise to see that even with current food prices, they have maintained decent size meals with competitive prices. The only constructive criticism and the reason food is 4 stars is the change on the feta chesse. The new feta cheese has barely flavor, and it is funny looking, I guess it is cheaper and probably the solution to keep meals size and price. In that case I think it is a reasonable solution and I can leave with it. I would definitely eat again here.
The food was fresh and taste good compared to other locations. They serve a good portion and work efficiently and effectively as a group even with a long lineup.
Traditional Greek fare at fair prices!
Spent $25 on the Slovakian meal with extra chicken. Sat down to start eating and cockroach came out of my food. Tried to desi with employees,non compliant and rude and nasty attitude. Supper unprofessionally handled. They ignored me and the lady at caught the bug with hand
Disappointed by the SCT outlet .The roast lamb had no flavors & will avoid this outlet in the future
Two completely dry pieces of lamb leg for $21 and when you ask for some meat juice in order to not choke on the extremely overcooked dry meat......they refused!!!!! This place if way far from anything Greek.
Orders canceled, and no one picks up the phone. Whoever is on staff today needs to be spoken to. Listed as open, open on all delivery apps and just ignoring orders until the system itself cancels. Not impressed at all.
Great place to eat at
Worst roast chicken keep the roast chicken long and dry Not fresh roast chicken I wouldn t recommend to eat here
Disappointed. I ordered fish but got burned salmon instead. I paid 19+$ for this dish. What a waste of money. Never order from this place.
Pork has no taste
Front count very low on food no lamb no chicken legs plus staff talk back to customer please fix this problem
Food today was dry the chicken souvlaki, rice dry paid $29 wow
Today I went to Jimmy the Greek Restaurant. I ordered my usual leg of lamb combo. The first server was pleasant enough BUT a second server took over, she proceeded to take the salad off my take out tray (as this particular server usually does, as if the extra leaf of lettuce will increase their profit). I cannot hide my dismayed look she wrapped it in a bag hastily. When I got home the leg of lamb was not on the take out tray (this is the second time she did this to me)! I drove back to Scarborough Town Center, Jimmy the Greek Restaurant to speak with the manager BUT HE QUICKLY BRUSH ME OFF, and stated, I cannot talk to you! he quickly walked away and hid in the corner! My point: the work culture and customer service at this particular franchise has the worst customer service in the 45 years I am dealing with different stores through the years. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO DISRESPECT YOU! I will avoid Jimmy the Greek Restaurant at Scarborough Town Center GIVEN THEIR TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE MANAGER TO THE SERVERS! By the way these people don t know how to apologize for their mistake these people are beyond rude and disrespectful!
Ive always enjoyed the food at this location. Always good . Mu favorite spot for Greek food. Amazing staff
Been a regular customer here. Used to love this place but their quality and quantity has gone down. Sometimes you get a good serving of potatoes, sometimes you don t. The last 3 times the rice has been over cooked(too much water). These are basics. You guys can do better.
Food is good. Filling.
Very nice place to eat. Food always on point. Well cooked and flavoured. Worth the money.
I can not believe that I ask them to put the salad separate from the food and charge me for a dollar just for the container marked it as olives extra just a plane rip off I think they should be reported to The food administration
Staff is friendly and food is good
Amazing food! Always coming back
Hospitality was good
Pricey but good.
Not much of food choices, but the food is okay, not much people buying food there, so its fast no lane up
Very delicious food, chicken souvlaki one of my favorites
Yes it is fine, i like it its my go to place
Excellent delicious food with great customer services. Lot of good options to select. Economical Price. Staffs are very friendly at this location.
Horrible customer service. Asked to customise my order with couple of more olives and no tomatoes they said it was an extra 1.25, disappointed in the way they threw the food in to the container. It feels like the quality is slipping. Vegetarian options: Spinach pie
I really liked the restaurants options, especially the salmon. I highly recommend it!
Dont eat the Gyro there. It had no taste,salty and hard like cardboard. This was my first gyro sandwich there and it will be my last.
Customer service is bad i said i dont want Lettuce just put some extra onions she said its enough and she left the plate half empty Im always eating here but no more
Yesterday around 6 pm,I was at scarborough town centre, which is about 15 kilometers away from my place of residence. My husband and I was very tired and went to jimmy the greek to eat. First of all, the quality of the food with all Jimmy the greek branches is so high,such as Vaughan mills , Centerpoint ,Hillcrest,...but in scarborough town centre was completely different and very poor quality. After I ordered my food, I asked them to give me empty plate as usual!!And they told me firmly and seriously with a frown, if you pay, we will give you an extra plate, and if you want to get the money back, you have to come back tomorrow!and talk to the manager !!!!it was interesting and seemed really funny was that I really thought they were playing a joke on me, that is, only this one branch treats its customers like this, unlike all the other branches, and do I have to go back and forth for about 30 kilometers in order to not have an empty plate and get my money back I will solve this funny problem an extra plate, and all three ladies who were there treated me with a behavior that was beyond the behavior of customer-oriented personnel for not giving me an extra plate. And finally after a long discussion and asking for an extra plate!!!! They did me a favor!!and said that this will be the first and last time!!!! that we will give to an empty plate!!!!!!! They wouldnt give me my money back, otherwise I wouldnt be so upset for an empty plate! I am happy that all the other branches that I mentioned have high quality food and very good behavior.
Today I ordered food from jimmy the Greek , And I was surprised with the portion how small it was . Like u pay for a plate more than 30$ to get 2 skewers of thigh chicken very small and dry pieces. With 2 potatoes. Trust me guys the pieces of the chicken is like veryyyy tiny . And you feel like the food is old . I will never order from jimmy anymore .
Nice place to have Greek salads
Con: Brown wilted salad with small piece of dry chicken, and salty soggy potatoes. Dried salty spanakopita. Pro: Didnt order more. Vegetarian options: Salad-reddish iceberg lettuce, red onions, olives, cucumbers, sparing pieces of carrots. Salty soggy potatoes. Dietary restrictions: Most places will accommodate special dietary requests. Parking: LOTS of parking surrounding Scarborough Town Centre. Just dont expect to park near Cineplex and upper level of the food court because its closed for construction. Wheelchair accessibility: The mall is wheelchair accessible with elevators, push-button automatic doors, and handicap assessible washrooms. Suggestion: Motion sensing automatic entry doors at mall entrances and washrooms would be more convenient and safer, especially with COVID and flu and cold seasons.
Delish food. Great friendly staff.
Just under $18 a meal and they have the audacity to want to charge more for extra cucumbers or sauce. These workers are out of there mind beyond stingy acting like it will come out of their pay check, I recommend you don t go to the Scarborough town centre location bunch of stingy peasant workers.
today I ordered a chicken fillet pita. On a pita, there were several letuce, onion, tomato and sour sauce, then several pieces of chicken. The chicken was a little bit dry, and the vegetable was very limited. Would be better off order a subway grilled chicken.
I have been a regular costumer here for years but the quality has drastically gone down. The chicken is tasteless and dry, the rice is mushy, the salad isnt fresh and the potatoes are not seasoned.
Jimmy the greek in this particular place is almost always inferior to other places like the one in eaton centre.
Im a huge fan of Jimmy the Greek but this location missed the mark. The chicken was dry, the salad was skimpy, and the service wasnt that great.
Food is good but they do rush you....
Shrimp and chicken were gangsta. Rice, salad, potatoes, everything was on point. Highly recommend. Taste is out of this world yo.
Good
Good portions and good price. Chicken Souvlaki no potatoes, extra rice and no salad dressing on the salad. It is the best option in the food court
Been going for 15 years, this is my favorite location. The quality of food never fails!
I work nearby and come to this location often for my morning break - spanokopita (spinach pie) and a beautifully heaping side of tzatziki (smeared on top like jam)!!!
Really disappointed with the portion i understand its covid time but why punish the customers willing to spend money at your restaurant i even had to pay extra for feta cheese on a greek salad that should already be on the order just to get the amount that would already be there if it wasnt covid time. This is not cool i will never eat here again. I recomend anyone willing to spend money on food in the food court to go to another food stall as Im sure they will give you what your paying for . Cutting amounts or portions will always push customers away and not bring them back.
Not quite authentic but still taste better than most other fast food out there
So incredibly rude. After standing in line for 10 minutes and finally being the next one to order, the Indian lady tells me they re closed. Mind you there was plenty of food left. A full tray of potatoes, souvlaki etc. There was also a huge line behind me. It was 7:02pm on a Friday. Instead of having people wait there in line, she could have let everyone know that they would be closing soon. All that food will either be thrown out or served the next. My guess is that they ll be serving the old food tomorrow. There was lots.
Love the food , and plenty of it !
perfect
Good food here. I use to buy alot and enjoy my meal always. Must try again soon.
Returned my order coz they have no spoon available. They did not even make an effort to find one when I complained.
Ordered 2 chicken skewers. The server gave me bits & pieces instead
Avoid this place .very bad food i had chicken sovlaki combo the chicken is NOT FRISH AND DRY ..i will give under zero star save your money and dont eat here .
Good food
I love the spinach and cheese rice bowl... It fills you right up!
Been a regular customer over the years, decent food, you get plenty of flavourful items! prices are affordable. Although friendly customer service can be improvised during this difficult moment we are all facing (Covid 19 pandemic) a smile wouldnt cost anyone anything !
I just brought chicken dinner and customer service is terrible. I ask one piece of salmon it cost $10 for very small piece , I said that s expensive the lady told me I go to another Jimmy the Greek and buy my food. I do go to another Jimmy the Creek and the service is excellent. I will never never recommend Jimmy the Greek in Scarborough Town Centre to none of my friend or families. The rice and chicken leg was cold. Customer at it worst
Waste of money .
Amazing food. The meals here are really good
Excellent customer service and food
I love their gyros its tasty.
Usual greek fare at decent prices. Good food. Nice servers
They need real cook! chicken served uncooked.portion to small. Food could paid$20.00 left place without eating.
Best place to eat healthy and fresh food
Ggg
Very good
On the run today so a salad from Jimmy the Greek is all I want for now. This place is one of over a dozen Scarborough Town Centre Food Court vendors found on the lower floor of this mall. I ordered a Greek Salad. Service was quick.
Delicious salads
These people have become so cheap with their serving size!!! Their customer service skills are 0!!!!!
Love their falafel and chicken gyro!
Mediocre Greek food
All good,
Always like this food Not greasy at all
Poor experience. I had to throw my Salmon Filet out cause it wasnt cooked properly. The sauces arent really that flavorful too. Not the same consistency I get at Eaton Centres.
Good food!
Nice food. Great prices. Several locations across Canada.
Love that spinach thing
God I love those potatoes.
Dry meat
My least favorite place to eat a Greek wrap. Was wayyyy too wet and the chicken wasnt completely cooked. Ate 1/4 of it before realizing no matter how many chances I give it, its still going to be food I prefer not to eat.
Fast service
If you are looking for some fresh hot rice, chicken and a salad, this is the place to go. Authentic, simple home made, super delicious food!
When Im at Scarborough town centre and wanna indulge without the guilty, Jimmy IT IS!!!
Food is good and fresh, price is candid!
This location is always chinsey. If youre going to pay $13 for a salad load it up.
Food is good and fresh
Absolutely love their food
Never ate there
Owner and the cook was very friendly will d8ff go back..I ordered my salad healthy as can be n thats how I got it...most places dont care about ur special request...but here they do
Great Food Reasonable Price
