Very disappointing. Asked for a small salad with chicken breast ontop and received an incredibly small amount of chicken for the price point. If the order was for chicken breast you expect a chicken breast. This was a small salad and chicken for 15.00.
Hi, we ordered the souvlaki plate and and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly grilled, juicy, and seasoned just right, while the sides were fresh and flavorful—especially the tzatziki, which was creamy and full of flavor. The portion size was generous and satisfying. The service was fantastic; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was to my liking. They even took the time to recommend their favorite dishes, which I appreciated. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a clean and comfortable dining area that made the meal even more enjoyable. It’s a great spot for a casual meal or a small gathering. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Greek food!
I had lunch here today with my husband. We ordered the classic green salad with salmon and the lamb souvlaki and rice pilaf. The food was very fresh and tasty. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted with dietary restrictions including no salt. The restaurant is very clean with a nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back if in the area again and highly recommend this restaurant for a healthy lunch.
I went to the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill for dinner. I ordered the steak plate. I was disappointed in the food. The beef came on two skewers and was tough, dry, and overcooked. It tasted like it was cooked several hours ago. The fries was soggy and very greasy and was warm, not hot. Not a great place to eat. Service was okay. It is like a fast food restaurant, but with some wait staff.
Rating it a 2. First time ordered from this place and probably won’t be coming back and stick to Jimmy The Greek for quick service they offer and good portions size. I called this place to place a order lady said they can’t do a order over the phone only Uber or DoorDash ( not smart for business that’s how you lose a customer and $) I read a review below a lady called and she placed her order over the phone? So assuming if the worker is in the mood they’ll take your order on the phone so you can pick it up instead of waiting when you arrive. I gave it a 2 because the chicken souvlaki wasn’t even Greek spices or seasoning it wasn’t Greek style at all. Had ordered the 2 salmons ( I wish I checked before leaving that place I would have asked for my $ back right away and just left). The salmon piece so thin and one small size ( as in photo) was more close to dry then moist, came with lemon potato that was 4 pieces that meal costs $20 you’d think you’d get more salmon + much more potatoes, the Pita itself wasn’t even put on the grill as it should be just straight from the package. The lady at cash didn’t even mention every dish comes with a small salad so we ordered 2 large salads on the side ( if we were told a salad comes with the meal we wouldn’t of ordered any extra salad) The place doesn’t offer any visual of how the food looks like at other places in the front you can see the warm food and see how everything looks like most food places. I’m glad others had a good experience here but not for me first time and last time!
Firstly, the staff go above and beyond in their customer service - which isn’t common practice these days. Tonight I called ahead and it was ready for pickup; they were actually calling me back to let me know it was ready, just as I was walking in. Last time I had my dog with me, and they brought it out to me. The takeout packaging is always perfect. It’s more of a takeout place, although you can sit in, and the place is spotless. Food is fresh and tasty. I’ve ordered the Greek plate with chicken twice - it’s a large portion with 2 skewers of chicken. My only suggestion is that they should have a small plate option with 1 skewer. Not sure about the people who complained the food tasted stale - the pita has always been soft and delicious, and the lettuce crisp and fresh. This is a welcome addition to Yonge and Eg.
I stumbled upon this gem at Yonge Eglinton Centre, and boy, was I impressed! The grilled meats—whether it's chicken, lamb, or beef—are out of this world. Tender, juicy, and bursting with Mediterranean spices. 🤤 I also tried their fresh veggies which hsd Crisp salads, ripe tomatoes, and colorful bell peppers. I was delighted by their sauces—tzatziki, tahini - Each bite feels like a mini vacation to Greece. 🇬🇷 The restaurant is friendly, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Prices won't break the bank either. 🙌
I went there around 8:45, they close at 9:30, perhaps that's why everything tasted a bit stale, especially the pita bread. First, the service, the staff there were all very polite, you can tell that they really are trying, but that's about it, they're polite, and you can tell they are trying, but the service could use a lot improvement, for example, they'd only give you 1 serviette which was wrapped around the cutlery, I understand we should try to use less paper, but the serviette was very thin, although it wasn't small, but very thin, you'd have to fold it in half to be able to use it without breaking it down, and the cutlery wasn't very clean as the pictures shown below, it's hard to tell form the pictures due to the lighting, but the cutlery wasn't very clean. Second, the food, as I mentioned, everything tasted stale, but I gather it's because it was close to their closing time, but that pita bread was actually quite horrible, the gyro meat wasn't so bad, if I were to be extremely picky, I'd say it's a bit too salty, but then again, that's gyro, aside form tasting stale, the meat wasn't bad overall, but that wrap cost $17, it's a wrap, not a plate, it wasn't worth $17 at all, I'd say maybe $13 worthy, but absolutely not $17. The salad was pretty basic, it's hard to mess up a side salad, but the side salad shown in the pictures cost $7, and it didn't taste $7 worthy, the portions for both the wrap and the salad wasn't big at all, the biggest thing on my table ended up being the fountain soda. Third, the atmosphere. I don't know how to comment on this one, this place looked like a fast food joint, but the same time, also kind of a sit down restaurant, they'd bring your order to you, but you order at the counter, I never know what to do after you're done eating, do you leave your plates on the table? Or do you bring them back to the counter? I brought them back to the counter and gave them to a staff, and she seemed very appreciative. This is a very bright space, which gives the illusion that this place is very clean, but all I can say is that this place isn't dirty, I can't say how clean it is, but I wouldn't call this place a very clean place, this is the kind of place where you go in to eat, and when you get out, your skin, your clothes, your hair, your soul will smell like grease, but I suppose that's part of the charm of establishments like this, I am not complaining about it at all, but this might bother some people. All in all, I won't go back due to the price, there are a few similar spots nearby with really great tasting food, and a WAY LOWER price point, and from another review, the restaurant is aware of their high price point, but the food, the service, the atmosphere they’re definitely not worth the price this place charges.
Delicious
This place has quality Greek food that is fresh and delicious and above all the service is friendly and generous and kind which stands out in the Toronto food world. I truly loved my experience and would highly recommend
Really good food and the staff will make you feel like in a 5 star restaurant.
Great food and received an even better service from Aaru!
Just amazing food and amazing people around staff is wonderful
sooo good!!!!!
Great service! Very clean! Great good. 10/10! The guy at the front with the glasses was pleasant and displayed great customer service.
I was starving when I arrived, and although the service was good and fast, the food disappointed me and the only thing I thought was that I made a mistake by entering a place where I had not eaten before. Rice: hard, dry and tasteless. Goat: although I understand that I ordered it well cooked, it was practically burnt on the outside and inside it was raw, dry and impossible to chew. Only the pita and the salad were edible.... Ordered Souvlaki lamb would I go back? no, I wont
Lovely service and a great bite in an area that needed a good wrap!
I was disappointed at the falafel wrap. The falafel tasted like it was warmed up on a microwave and the pita was hard to bite. I decided to eat inside the restaurant and it was full of smoke from the kitchen. I had to open the door to finish my plate but left right away. The staff is friendly and patient but the actual product I wouldn t recommend.
Wonderful experience! AJ and Sneha were exceptional friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh and flavorful. Every dish was perfectly prepared, from the grilled souvlaki to the creamy tzatziki. Highly recommend this spot for delicious food and outstanding hospitality!
Food took time to make but it was delicious. I didnt see any greek person in the store but credit to the cooks. I will be back again. Food : 4/5
Quiality food
Very good food and customer service
Great service!
excellent staff with good food. Portions are pretty filling and everythign feels fresh and well made. It totally makes up the waiting time which is only 10-15min!! I love eating steak here with the greek bowl
Good customer service! Staff were so nice food so good! Food
All the services is excellent, customer services is the best 10000% recommended....
Delicious food and amazing customer service.
Food is great and plentiful. Awesome service and staff is great. I come here on a regular basis. Highly recommend this place.
The best food in Yonge and Eglinton!!! Great food! Great service!
Great meal
They have a BOGO offer on UberEats, which seemed like a great deal. However you are REQUIRED to choose a protein which is a minimum of $7, which means the BOGO deal is $14 more than the advertised price. This is intentional deceit. I ordered from somewhere else.
Very clean and friendly staff! Its a new spot go show some love and support! Food is fresh and the kitchen smells delicious :) Food
Really good food and great service :) the gyro very yummy and soft I live nearby so I m excited to go for every night time dinner run and try everything haha
Amazing service. Food is very clean and staff are very attentive. Exceptional service, great portion of food served. The gyro and falafel are rich in flavor. I would recommend this to anyone Food : 5/5
Very underwhelming. Not great at all.
Placed an order for pick up this evening 1 chicken souvlaki dinner, 1 gyros plate dinner and 1 kids chicken strips dinner. The souvlaki was very dry with little to no flavour, the gyros was extremely dry and over cooked we got feta fries with the plate not a good idea. The worst was the kids chicken strips, I got home and started to chop it up for my kid and noticed that it was raw. I did return the chicken strips to the restaurant with out an issue, the owner was very apologetic about it and replaced the 2 chicken strips with chicken souvlaki at my request and he said he will refund the kids meal (waiting for the refund to appear on the card I used). The pita bread texture was weird and we did not enjoy it as well. The service was great from the start when I walked in was greeted in a friendly manner and was even offered a drink while I waited for my food. They should look into getting cooks with more experience or better training for them. Most likely will be going back to this establishment.
My first time trying this new location of the chain, and I am in LOVE. My husband and I had the Gyro Meat plate with rice and the Chicken Breast Souvlaki plate with fries. Service was excellent, everyone was so nice, and it had the perfect fast-casual dining experience. I ll ask for extra dressing on my salad next time, but otherwise I have no notes and I can t wait to come back!
I love the food- especially shrimps versions. Fish is a joke though- too little and too thin. Lamb is also great (according to my husband). Prices could be lower but still - it s a nice place with great grill
I was so excited when this place opened, but 3 out of 4 of my visits have been disappointing. Each time I visited, I ordered Moms Rice Pudding, which was my main reason for coming. The first time, I had the salmon dish the portion was small, and the salmon was cold and tough. On my second visit, I tried the beef. While the portion size was decent, the meat was dry and hard to chew. On my third visit, the rice in the pudding, which I had been looking forward to, was undercooked. On my fourth visit, the salmon portion was even smaller than before, and it looked like a piece had been broken off, but it wasn t in my box. To top it off, they shamelessly turn the payment pad around asking for a tip for pick-up orders! What am I tipping for? It s pick-up. (Dine-in, and take out)
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill & Catering is a fantastic local restaurant that serves up delicious and authentic Greek cuisine. I recently tried their dices and was incredibly impressed - they were all incredibly flavorful and well-prepared. The tzatziki sauce was creamy and tangy, the pita bread was freshly baked, and the grilled meats were tender and seasoned to perfection. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Whether youre in the mood for a tasty lunch, I highly recommend giving The Great Greek Mediterranean a try.
Steak souvlaki platter order Servers nice Order was lost in the system - got a free hummus and pita Food - solid portion, rice was a bit dry, steak was flavorful Gives vibes of fast food, not fast, but decent quality but not for over 20$ (cost 22$ before tip)
Everything was great when we went there, good vegetarian options, the falafel pita, dolmades, feta fries and spanakopita were great. It was a good serving amount we ate too much haha People there were pleasant and respectful. I dont understand why people are saying everything is good but then give 2 stars haha Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options they were all delicious.
Just moved to the neighbourhood and pleased to have fresh Greek nearby. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price is good and lots of food to share.
The gyro is the best I ve ever had. Staff are very polite and caring. Tad on the pricy side for a wrap but well worth it.
While i dont think there was anything particularly wrong with the food it really wasnt anything special which is unfortunate since i was really rooting for this place considering i live very close and would love a good Greek place nearby. I felt that the price was expensive considering the food didnt wow me but amount of food was okay compared to other places in the vicinity. Not sure if it is because they just opened up but the staff seemed very nervous and were dropping things often. Maybe Id come back and try again in a year or so when they are more established.
Ultimately eating is about the quality of food. The location is clean, and staff are friendly. But the food is the worst Greek food (or any food) I have ever had in my life. The salad was fresh and OK. I ordered Australian Lamb Souvlaki, with rice and pita. They had mask the taste with spices that appeared more Indian than Greek. Let me say that I love Indian food, but in the combination they had used it on the Lamb it had made the souvlaki not eatable. The lamb was also very dry, thoigh I asked for at most medium. The rice was a medley of poor cooking and bad spices. I took 1/2 bit and stopped eating. I did not even bother to ask for my money back. I think they need a serious look at how the make their food, after all it is a nice looking place.
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill offers a fantastic dining experience with its authentic Mediterranean flavors. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, with generous portions and a great variety of dishes. The ambiance is inviting, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean!
Exceptional food with superb flavors and impeccable service. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!
I tried the great greek gyro . There was nothing great about it. This tiny pita sandwich was almost 17 bucks after taxes. Truly disappointed and feel ripped off. You can go to Tzataziki down the street on Mt pleasant and have a authentic gyro where they even stuff it with fries all for 10 bucks. Quality is about the same or simlair of jimmy the greek but more expensive.
The gyro is the best Ive ever had. The staff are very polite and attentive. Its a bit pricey for a wrap, but definitely worth it.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Dont miss out - book your table now and taste the magic for yourself! 5/5 stars!
The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured our every need was met. But the real star of the show was the food - each bite was a masterclass in culinary expertise.
Never again lol
The food was very delicious and staff was very generous and polite and hospitality is great
The food is fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Signature items like the gyros, souvlaki, and hummus are particularly praised for their authenticity and taste. Staff members are knowledgeable about the menu and are happy to provide recommendations. They are efficient in taking orders and ensuring that diners have everything they need for an enjoyable meal. The decor reflects the Mediterranean theme, creating a pleasant and relaxed setting.
Food is delicious with great humble service. Fun loving place it is.
Gr8 experience and staff is really warming
Definitely coming here again. I ordered a traditional gyro which was cheaper than the regular gyro. The meat was tender and juicy along with tzatziki was top notch! Highly recommend!!!!
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill offers fantastic food, but the Baklava ice cream is a standout. The combination of rich, sweet baklava flavors with creamy ice cream is absolutely delightful definitely a must-try!
I ordered the small greek salad with chicken skewer and it was delivered to me within 3 minutes with hot pita. The atmosphere and service was on point. I am definitely coming here again.
I tried the great greek wrap and the perfect blend of the ingredients makes great greek wrap delicious meal and go to meal to make you full.
Food is very underwhelming, bland and overpriced. 7 bucks for a tiny unseasoned skewer is ridiculous
Service was quick, however the food was underwhelming, small portion of rice, would have preferred Greek potatoes instead of the pita. Just meh for 19$
$15.99 for a Chicken Souvlaki meal with two skewers, rice, salad and Pita is a steal in 2024. Thanks.
Hot Waiter
Food is ok (way more above average many Greek restaurants) What I liked is the simplicity of the menu, the food wasn t greasi, they had vegetarian options, but many items on the menu are absolutely overpriced! For example, they charge $16.95 before tax for a Gyro. You ll need to add an extra $6.95 to make it a combo, with french fries. I won t come back because of pricing.
I went to this restaurant with my mother last night and we had a great time! The rice has orzo in it, you get 2 meat skewers for a souvlaki plate and the food comes to you quickly after being ordered. The service was great and attentive. We were greeted by Bhavik and we felt so welcomed and special! I ordered a couple extra shrimp skewers and they were grilled to perfection, and the seasoning was delicious. Thank you, again! Will be seeing you guys in the future for sure! :)
Dont understand the low ratings for this place. The food is good greek food, they had healthy options, the servers were polite and the place looked very clean. I was happy with this place. Glad there is finally a healthy place in our neighbourhood!
Food was amazing. Service was perfect too. Special thanks to Edgar for his attentive service. Will come back!
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill & Catering in Toronto offers a welcoming atmosphere with polite and attentive staff. Despite my visit being close to closing time, the gyro meat was flavorful and the side salad was fresh. The bright, clean space and the staffs effort to provide good service added to the positive dining experience. While there is room for improvement in some areas, I appreciate their dedication and look forward to seeing them grow. Overall, a decent spot for Mediterranean fare, and I hope to see continued enhancements in the future.
Great service! Bright and good vibe. Perfect for a family. Food is quality and generous portions. Paying for food thats made fresh to order, not buffet style.
I had a pleasant experience at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill & Catering in Toronto. The staff were super friendly and genuinely tried their best to provide good service. The gyro meat was tasty, though a bit salty, and the side salad was fresh. The bright space gave off a clean vibe, even if it wasnt spotless. While the prices are a bit high, the overall atmosphere is welcoming, and the food, despite being near closing time, was still enjoyable. I appreciate their efforts and hope to see some improvements on my next visit.
The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating. Vegetarian options: Falafal pita Food : 5/5 |
$17 for a gyro wrap . Ridiculous.
I waited almost 40 minutes for a single gyro wrap and spanakopita. The food was cold and not anything special. It was $25.87 for a gyro wrap without a combo and the spanakopita.
Tried this with my gf recently for the 1st time. Order two entrees for take out. Got home and was disappointed with the portions considering the prices. They also forgot to give us a salad and tzatziki (only gave one of each). Moreover, you would have to pay $6 extra to get rice and potatoes. Original order you were only allowed to have one of these options. On the plus side the food tasted good, but overall a pass given the notable number of issues.
The food was well below subpar. The falafel was limp and spongy and the greek fries were not worth the 8 dollars as the portion was extremely small. The staff were nice but we had to repeat our order multiple times and not all of us got what we ordered.
I visited it few days back and the service was great. I ordered great greek gyro and it tasted top notch plus the quantity was great.
I always try to be fair in my reviews and tried to give this place a few chances so I can have a good judgment. The overall atmosphere is good and the store is clean and has a fair decoration. I would say that people there are nice but they don t fully understand the options in the menu and they don t tell you really what options you have and when you ask them to change it they mostly get very confused. Regarding food, we tried gyro and it was nowhere near gyros I had in the Greek town. The meat was not crispy and it had too much cheese and no option to add fries in it. Then we tried two souvlakis and chicken souvlaki was ok but nothing special and lamb souvlaki was somehow the worst I have seen in many years. Super dry and filled with rosemary and salt which was surprising given the price they are charging for it. I think the place is new and they really need work on their food. I will give it a try in a year and will change this if I see they have changed their approach.
Great service and atmosphere. The food is fresh and made by the order. Very helpful server and management. A must try place if you down but the yonge and eglinton.
Food was super slow, if you are hungry dont go there, prepare to spend your entire Sunday afternoon there waiting for the food to be done.
