Excellent Greek food! Don't miss the lamb shank...it's fantastic! Delicious, from scratch food made with passion. You feel like you're a guest in their home. You won't be disappointed.

What an amazing place to eat. The food is the best i have had in Canada. The owners are so friendly and it feels like you are in a restaurant in Greece. Thank you

Fantastic food. Great staff. Ending the evening learning how to make Greek coffee was a highlight.

Showed up for a late dinner and was a little surprised by the $40/person minimum order, but it's a nice restaurant with great food so glad we decided to give them a shot.My wife and I placed our orders and the dolmades appetizer came out quickly - they were delicious! As we waited for our mains to arrive, other tables were leaving and we couldn't help but notice how happy everyone seemed as they said goodbye to the staff. We found out that it's impossible not to be happy when the food is that good and the staff is so friendly. We had lamb shank, pastitsio, and moussaka, with caramel flan for dessert. Everything is made in-house and was absolutely amazing. The portions were so large that the leftovers made a very big and tasty lunch for the two of us.Can't wait for my next trip to Edmonton to go back!

Don't waste your time and money. We went for dinner here early Sept. 2022. Out of the only 4 mains on the menu (HARDLY ANY CHOICES), there were only 2 available, Lamb, and Lamb,,, so we chose the lamb. It came with greek potatoes that were so dry, you could have wrote with them on a chalk board, the beans were spiced so much you couldn't taste them, the carrots were extremely bitter, and the lamb was so dry you had to wash every bite down with water or your drink. The service was less than mediocre, not once we were asked how our meal tasted, I guess they figured it out when we were finished eating, and our plates were still full of food, we only had a bite of everything so we could at least say we gave it a try. For a restaurant that charges a MINIMUM of $40 per person for food only, you would think they would step it up and serve food that was edible. Before we decided to dine at Mythos, we read the reviews, all which were great. My guess is all of their friends wrote the reviews, they can't be coming from customers that have actually eaten here. I would choose ANY fast food drive through before I would come here again. I wouldn't even give this restaurant a 1 star, but I can't put a review on here without choosing a star value.

The best, simply put. Atmosphere is comfortable, service is great, food is outstanding! Flavors are perfect and portion size is fantastic. I will be back everytime I'm in town.

This restaurant is exactly the look and feel my wife and I look for when we go out to dinner for authentic cuisine. Everything was perfectly done. Recommend the dalmodes and the calamari to start followed by the lamb shoulder. The owners were absolutely the best. I cannot recommend them enough. Absolute joy to have been invited I to there home.

100% recommend this family run business. Absolutely delicious and authentic. Cooked with fresh ingredients. Meat simply falls apart on the plate, and I could eat a pound of their hummus, if I didn’t already completely fill up on their salad already.A must go place for the best Greek food.

The Lamb Shank was perfect in every way. It was tender, tasty and large. It came with yellow rice, steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes.

The restaurant oozes Greek culture. As soon as you walk in; from the music, the decor, and the staff present. Staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and you have this feeling as if you're invited into someone's Greek home for dinner.The menu has a minimum charge disclaimer, which as a consumer was not appealing. My partner and I had thought about leaving, but I suggested we stay and we may be surprised. We initially wanted to split a platter, but the disclaimer was kind of a deteruent.We ordered the chicken souvlaki and the lamb souvlaki platter. It literally looked like a home cooked meal. The taste and the flavors were decent, but not great. For the price... I would have expected more (flavour, presentation, and detail)... The chicken was quite dry, the vegetable medley and rice weren't spectacular. It wanted more refinement and finesse, it was clear the lemon sauce served lacked depth and the roasted potatoes wanted a bit more love to crisp up those edges. Was it original? No. But it does hit the spot of a seemingly home cooked meal.There were several other menu items that looked appealing and perhaps some day I'll give it a try and the other dishes prove me otherwise.

Best family restaurant in Edmonton! Besides the food being amazing and home-cooked, the family running the restaurant steals the show. I’ve never felt such friendliness and loving service that truly makes you feel a home away from home. Come to Mythos to feel loved in a tiny little strip mall in Edmonton that takes you miles and miles away. ❤️

Booking of table was simple and easy. Welcome nice and inviting. Problem seems to arise when we ordered couple of appetizer dishes to share as the serving lady (owner's family) showed her disappointment that we apparently didn't order enough to "make their while" in a 35% "busy" establishment. We ate and left. Gave her 15% tip even though she wasn't present and didn't bother to thank us for patronage. Matter of fact dropped a bill with credit card machine and become scarced. The tip was my good luck charm for the future as I will not return there ever. Food wasn't special either.

I love this place! Traditional Greek with top quality ingredients. Rod and his wife care and it shows! The best lamb I have ever had! Rod has amazing skills in the kitchen and I can't wait to go back. Keep it up!

I'm going to tell you something! If you are Greek you'll feel right at home! Right from the time you walk into the Restaurant! If you are not Greek, well well get ready because you are in for the treat of your life as far as it goes in the food business. Food, service and Atmosphere.! You will be going back.

We were celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary and dropped in to see if they had room for us last Friday evening, April 29, 2022.It was a great choice. The food was spectacular. We kept hearing the waitress say “We make everything from scratch!” Well It shows.The atmosphere was quiet allowing my wife and I to carry on a conversation. Towards the end of the evening the waitress/owner sat down and told us about their 40+ years in business (both Vancouver and Edmonton). We learned a bit about her family and Rod her husband/chef.She is very proud of her husband’s skill in the kitchen. “He is here at 5:00 am to start prepping for the evening”, she told us.From the people that were in the restaurant it looked like families enjoy gathering here.You won’t be disappointed dining here.
