Driving by and looked up "greek food" near by. The reviews were good so we tried our luck. Claudio the owner was a very very sweet guy but the food wasn't as wonderfull as all the reviews. The portions were not equal to the price we paid and the rice texture was a little too sticky for my taste. My son had gyro and rice and he also complained about the rice flavour. Burger and fries were good. Unfortunately when my son was eating I found a small hair in meal. Can't figure out how to post pic of the hair

Had the pleasure of coming across this little spot a couple months ago when I was sauntering around yonge street and boy am I happy I went in. The owner warmly greeted me and I ordered the gyro plate. I was on my way home to eat it so I didn’t eat it until about 10 mins after I ordered it but it was still amazing. The gyro was so delicious, the vegetables fresh and the sauce was the cherry on top. Will definitely be returning to sit in the restaurant and eat the food piping fresh!

Nice little place. Loved the pita and the rice balls. The sweet potato fries were good but it's usual order. Overall highly recommended.

We walked up and down the Lawrence strip looking for the best patio and settled at this place. It was cute, out of the way of Yonge st and lots of nice plants. The food was delicious and affordable and the service was very warm and friendly. I had the Gyro Platter and my girlfriend had the Chicken Souvlaki and we both loved it. Big portions but it was so good we finished everything. Highly recommend this place!

"I recently visited Souvlaki and Panini and had the chicken rap with fries. The service was fun and engaging, making the experience enjoyable. The venue was clean and cozy, creating a nice atmosphere. They offer a wide variety of food options, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend trying out their delicious dishes!" Lastly the colours of the restaurant stand out a lot as well.

Came across souvlaki and panini unexpectedly and I’m glad I did. The service was amazing, the gentleman that served me was genuinely very kind ; excellent customer service. I ordered a chicken souvlaki on a pita with some fries in the pita, came to $11.99 Everything was extremely fresh, the pita bread was also thicker, resembling a naan which I loved, held up the chicken and vege very well- the lemon sauce was lovely not runny, perfect consistency - could have been more lemony to me and I’m a huge lover of garlic, which I feel the overall dish slightly lacked. also not a huge fan of shoestring fries- but again that’s just me and didn’t take anything away from the souvlaki! Thank you for a great experience and meal. I’ll be back :) (because my tattoo shop is right around the corner!)

I was looking for a quick bite after work because I was exhausted and just wanted something tasty. Luckily, I stumbled upon this place and the food was amazing! They prepared it fast, the owner was very nice to talk to, and the food tasted really good. I only had the wraps, but Id definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

April 22, 2024

This place is so disappointing. It s literally freezing cold in the store. Waited a long time to get the food. They don t seem to know what they are doing. No real chef here. The food was just awful if I could give zero I would. Inedible. The worst food I have ever had. Had to throw everything out. I was truly afraid I would get food poisoning from the souvlaki. It was rancid.

Wife got takeout, so cant say much about atmosphere. But they deserve 5 across the board for the food alone. Choose here the next time your girl doesnt know what she wants for dinner but needs you to make the right choice for her. You will choose right. Tldr: give their veal sandwich a try. Owner says its his nonas recipe. Nona knew what she was doing. A story: we knew of this place before covid, before the rebranding. Food was good but things went sour during the pandemic. With new management and rebranding, we wanted to support local and visited once again. They added veal sandwich to the menu! We got chicken souvlaki dinner, veal sandwich, and some burgers for the family dinner. I grew up on the east end and I dare say their veal sandwich gives the late agincourt bakery a run for their money. Their flavourful rice, not overbuttered or salted, is back! The chicken, tender. The potatoes, popping. The pita, chewy. Wife didnt like the tzatziki as much but I fought her after. Next time I walk by I plan to pop in and encourage them to keep up this amazingly redone recipe and quality of food. I encourage you to do so too, after you try their food of course. You wont regret it.

Came here after I had a lot of co workers tell me about the food here for lunch. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon about a week ago and ordered the gyros plate. I think what won me over was the potatoes for sure. I m usually picky with my potatoes since some places tend to have their potatoes a little too stiff but the way how these potatoes were cooked were perfection! The gyros was also really amazing too. Super tender and juicy. It was a lot of food so I ended up eating half and took the other half home for dinner. The staff was lovely too! From the chef and two others I believe were the owners were warm and friendly. A great cozy vibe and will definitely be coming back!

December 22, 2022

Horrible food. The menu says comes with pita, salad. Theu charge $14 for Chicken and rice combo. Food came in cold. No flavour and the chicken was smelling. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

Horrible food. Dont waste your money. UBEREATS should ban them. Menu items dont match the food. This os what you get for $15.

Ordered from Uber eats with friends. The food was OK if it had been about 50% cheaper. The gyro meat was dry, as were the chicken, rice, and potatoes. Produce Ingredients were fresh enough but not worth the cost. 22$ for 90% head lettuce and dry gyro was disappointing. Its really the cost that puts the quantity and quality in such a bad light.

Sadly disappointed ... we ordered from Uber eats app and felt the meals were a bit overpriced, but gave it a shot because we used to go there when it was called souvlaki guys, and boy did we regret it ... food was dry and tasteless ... not even close to its previous incarnation ... the price was not worth the quality of food delivered ... $75 is very overpriced for three dinner plates of the quality they were that were not enjoyed at all ...
