I came in with my daughter for lunch and it took 15 min for anyone to take our order. Food taste is pretty average food that you can get at the mall. Portions are good including the lunch portions. The atmosphere is nice, but fir me not worth coming back.

We had dinner here this past Friday and everything was delicious! The food was fresh, the cheese was plentiful, and we left stuffed with left overs. We ordered this food for 3 and our bill came to around $120. I feel like for the amount of food/portions and how fresh everything was that's a great deal. We will be back for sure! Can't recommend enough! Definitely suggest making a reservation on the weekend as the place was busy! We had no wait since we made a reso.

Really popular restaurant. I was there around 5 pm yesterday, the restaurant was already full of people, and I had to wait for around 30 minutes. But, it is totally worth it. The food is amazing, and the service is great. The waitress is super nice and friendly. This restaurant definitely will be my favorite place to go.

We had a group dinner of 6 here on a Friday night. Food was great- we shared spanakopita, calamari (served with tzatziki which was awesome) and fried cheese. As a group we enjoyed the gyro plate, chicken soulvaki dinner and gyro sandwich. Potatoes and salad were excellent. Three Greek beer options and a pretty good baklava.

The Spanakopita Plate was delicious. Flaky, flavourful, and loved the Greek salad, rice, and potato sides. The potatoes were well cooked and not dry at all, which is something I often find at other restaurants. We shared a Calamari, and everyone loooved the lemon flavour and crispy and not too oily breading.

My favourite one was the Santorini chicken ( picture 1). It is an explosion of flavours. Only the pork (picture 3) was a little dry cause my husband ordered it and it was kind of chewy but good flavour. Really enjoy it a lot. I will come back soon. Try the cheesecake amazing dessert. 👏

I m fairly new to KW and I ve been on the hunt for a good Greek restaurant. I m very happy I found Mediterraneo. I am originally from Toronto GTA and always went to Greek Town on the Danforth when I was craving Greek food. This restaurant is top of my list of favourites now. It reminded me so much of the great family oriented Greek restaurants that used to exist on the Danforth. It brought back some great memories for me. The moment you walk into the restaurant you are transported to Greece. I love the decor and feel of the restaurant. Staff is nice and friendly. They provide great efficient service. Now, the food is absolutely delicious. I especially really enjoyed the Moussaka and the rice that came with the souvlaki dinner was so flavourful. Overall, loved it all!!!! This will definitely be my Greek spot on the regular. It will be yours too!!!

The atmosphere is delightful. My only gripe is the tzatziki is a little too dilly for me (EDIT: Ive been informed theres no dill, it is probably the mint then, which Im also personally particular with haha), but thats 100% just about my personal taste, and its still good enough that it doesnt dissuade me from getting a gyro every time. It is a favourite of both my partner and myself.

Have tried to order their lamb stew probably 10-15 times over the past year. 1/3rd of the time they don t answer their phone. The other 2/3rds they have either been out or didn t make it that day. Not sure why they have it on their menu. It was good when I was able to order it in 2022.

Update: STILL a favorite and have recommended to many who raved about the experience once they went. We love the food (especially the calamari) and our youngest gets the spaghetti and loves it every time. Portions are great and the service has been fantastic. Really loving the vibe and atmosphere as well. Thank you and we will keep coming! Would recommend calling to give a heads up for larger parties. FIRST TIME REVIEW: Food is great! The calamari is delicious, the potatoes and gyro as well. The greeter was a bit annoyed when we came in as a family of five and when asked, said she d have to figure out where to put us. The place was empty, there were two other tables with patrons only. Other than that, the place is great and becoming a common place to come with the family.

Food was good but was disappointed when they didnt have menu items. They only have 4 cocktails and they didnt have ingredients for 2 of them. At the end of the meal we ordered Baklava and again they were out. Again food was great, we had the lamb souvlaki and it was great as were the lemon roasted potatoes and salad etc.

We had a late dinner on a Friday night. Service was quick and food was terrific. I had the lamb stew over rice which was very flavourful, lots of lamb and huge portion size. Ambiance was OK but lighting was too bright for dinner service. This place seems to be quite busy which is a testament to the good food. We made reservations for our group of 6.

The first time we went, the food was good. Portion good, food was hot. Service was good and polite. However, on our second visit today with our family of 4, it was the total opposite experience. We were seated fairly quickly-15 mins after we arrived. We knew what we wanted to order, so we gave our order within the first 5 minutes. Our drinks were served first, which were totally flat and tasted watered down. Then the wait began..... after 40 minutes, we inquired how long the food would be as we noticed people being seated after us who were already being served their food. The server was extremely rude. She had an angry, annoyed look. After another 20 minutes, we were served, but all food on all the plates was barely warm to the touch. I asked mine to be warmed, and my husband and kids could not be bothered as they were too hungry to wait any longer. We ate what we could and left soon as possible. I was extremely unhappy with this experience and could not understand why the servers mood was switched off with us. But fine for the other white guests. Will not be coming again.

I ve been a customer since day one. I visited April 10th and I ordered the gyro. I found the meat too salty and the beef was overcooked, hard like beef jerky. 3/4 was left untouched. I mentioned this to server plus to tell the chef when she asked how was the meal. Seemed like it didn t even phase her. Another server asked and I told the same thing. She seemed more concerned and said she would mention to the chef. I received the bill and my gyro was listed with full price. I said to the server that I was disappointed and I was told the bill was completed by the original server. Hence, my tip was zero. My 2nd tip should have been listen to the customer Since this review was posted, I have had discussions with Mario Kyprianou. He has reached out to apologize which I think is a very large step forward to maintain the high standards that his establishment has achieved. Nobody, no place, is perfect, but Mario has certainly strived to make things better both in the kitchen and with the customer. Kodoos Mario. I look forward to returning Aug 28th, 6:15 pm. After a long drive home from Quebec, we ordered take out, my wife chicken souvlaki and I ordered and the gyro. I must say, the souvlaki was excellent. My gyro was moist and certainly plentiful. This was the gyro that I have always enjoyed. Great job Mario.

Best Greek food in town and there s nothing even remotely close. Dishes are spiced and cooked perfectly, huge portions, and prices are totally reasonable for the quality of what you get. Lamb souvlaki, shrimp souvlaki, saganaki, and calamari are all highlights for me. They also have the best tzatziki I ve had anywhere. It can be a bit of a wait to get a table or get takeout but it s absolutely worth the wait. This place is busy as hell for good reason.

September 23, 2024

The best Greek in KW! I ve had the shrimp souvlaki, tzatziki with pita, and calamari and the portions are huge. I think 4 skewers of 3 big shrimp in one meal - other places often give half the amount in a shrimp dish. Everything is seasoned perfectly.

I have loved this restaurant for years for their consistently delicious greek food. This weekend we had the pleasure of placed a takeout/small group catering order with owner, Mario, and had a fabulous experience. Not only was the food of the same, delicious quality you get when eating at their restaurant, but Marios customer service and gratitude made the experience wonderful. Thank you for making our family birthday party so tasty! Vegetarian options: Im obsessed with the veggie moussaka from Medditeranneo which is really hard to find at other greek spots. Same great, hearty flavour as the meat option. The greek salad with their dressing is also amazing.

We have had the pleasure of dining at Mediterraneo our on many occasions, and it never fails to impress. This family-owned gem has become one of the only restaurants we return to regularly, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the service is consistently outstanding. Every dish is prepared with care and flavours are always spot on. Our favourites are the bruschetta, village salad, lemon potatoes and of course the chicken souvlaki. In addition to the fantastic food and service, the overall ambiance of the restaurant adds to its charm. It s a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Would not hesitate to recommend!!!

Went for a casual Friday lunch with my husband after seeing the weekly appetizer feature posted on Mediterraneos social media. We chose a seat on their patio which had a nice amount of shade which was great for how warm the weather was. Our server was quick to come take our drink orders and answer any questions about the menu. Our food came quickly, despite the amount of patrons dining inside the restaurant. We opted for the weekly appetizer feature to start since that is what we traveled to the restaurant for. The plate was hot honey halloumi cheese flatbread (Fresh halloumi pan seared with hot honey on warm flat bread and tzatziki, topped with pomegranate). When I say this dish was magical, that would be an understatement. The halloumi was seared beautifully with a nice kick of sweet and spicy from the hot honey. Everything balanced perfectly for the most savoury flatbread that I hope will become a regular part of their menu. For our main, we shared the spanakopita plate, which was the right amount of food to share for lunch. This plate came with a large serving of Greek salad, rice, roasted potatoes, and a very flaky and fresh spanakopita. It was very tasty and I would definitely order this again. Our server was lovely and attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed, that the food was up to par and that my husbands coffee cup was never empty. For our first experience at this restaurant, we were thoroughly impressed with the service and the food. We look forward to visiting again in the near future! Vegetarian options: Spanakopita plate, fettuccine Alfredo, and veggie moussaka are amongst the vegetarian options. There are also salads and many appetizers that are vegetarian friendly.

I do like their food, but their catering menu is soo limited, boring and awful. We constantly order food from this restaurant for our office and its wonderful when we individually order meals or order off their regular menu, but when we order off the catering menu, its nothing special. They could could also improve their tzatziki sauce. Tzatziki sauce can make or break a meal, and this one is very meh. *Relax on the mint and add more garlic*

Take-out is not a strength. We placed our platters orders 5 hours before pickup for a dinner party. Unfortunately, I waited in a line with others waiting to pick up their orders too as the food was not available. The waitstaff were amazing but of course that is not their responsibility. While waiting I did see several orders coming out of the kitchen so this comes down to a disorganized process. I did check in with staff and confirmed my order while waiting. So it was disappointing to arrive home to discover the moussaka missing. I called and then they had a driver deliver it.

The food was amazing! However, make sure if you get delivery you double check what their delivery person puts in the bill. I asked what delivery would cost and they said the delivery person would tell me when he arrived. He didnt and I only realized after that he charged $20 and then handed me the machine with tip options. I thought delivery was based on the tip option. So I ended up paying $50 for just the delivery alone. I know I should have paid more attention, but it also felt a bit sneaky.

The service is wonderful, with a super attentive and friendly waitstaff and the restaurant decor is charming without being kitschy. We had the chicken souvlaki and the gyro dinners - fantastic! Absolutely love the Greek potatoes, perfectly done! This dinner reminded me of being in Corfu.

Had an excellent meal here with new friends. We split a spanakopita and calamari. Both were excellent. The calamari were perfectly crunchy battered but soft on the inside. The spanakopita was flakey and savory. For my main I had the Lamb Souvlaki. The lamb was good but it was the sides that really wowed me. The lemon potatoes were so amazing, I am still thinking about them, and the rice was really good too even though I normally rarely bother finishing it I ate every bit. The Tzatziki sauce was incredible but I wish there was a bit more of it! All in all it was an excellent meal and I was very pleased. Recommended!

I cant come up with enough positive things to say about this restaurant. We went there with a large group of 35. From my first phone call in to start the booking process to when we walked out the door was nothing but smooth and pleasant sailing. Both the kitchen and the staff were on their A game through our entire dinner. Plates came out picture perfect and tasted as good as they looked! I have never tried Mousaka before and was quite taken aback by how good it was! Great value for your money, great service, great owner!

Excellent food and service. Souvlaki Dinner chicken portion is small for the price and the amount of tzatziki they give you is so small, tiny actually. Increase the amount of chicken and increase tzatziki by at least 3 times and it s 5 out of 5.

Last weekend I placed an order for pickup and by the time I arrived they were packing my order, so it was on perfect time for when they told me it would be ready.

This is a great Greek/Mediterranean restaurant. It almost seems like a hidden gem. The food is amazing abd served in large portions and the service is helpful and friendly. Although, their closing times of 8pm during the week and 9pm on the weekends do not accomodate later evening dinners. This was our experience so we ended up ordering online. Beforehand we called 8 times and no one answered the phone and when we came to pick up the food the woman at the front was rude. This would have been out second time at Mediterraneo in which we were taking some friends whom we suggested this place to and were disappointed with our experience. Although the food, of course, was amazing.

I ordered a large order for take-out and the food was fresh and delicious. I was impressed how everything was packaged. The portions were just right as sometimes with take-out orders that can lack. Im just so happy that the food and all the side salads were fresh and tasty. A huge hit for my moms birthday!
