“Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures!

A giant slab of pork shank is the protein hit I need after walking to this restaurant. A deep, colourful sear brings a delicious Maillard flavour that coats moist and tender meat fibres. The roasted potatoes also get the same treatment and will make you appreciate the invention of grilling.“

“We had a large party to celebrate our daughter’s engagement to her fiancé last weekend with well over 80 people to feed. The food from Skara was on time, hot and delicious! Our guests kept asking us where the delicious gyros was from. Skara! I would highly recommend Skara for your catering needs. I will definitely continue to use them. #bestgyros #skaracatering #catering #partyfood“

Everyone was very attentive and Tommy even took the time to give us some advice regarding visiting Greece! The entertainment was the topper and a lovely finish to a wonderful time! Thank you all and especially Tommy for taking care of us! See you soon!“

“Calamari the best one in Toronto.“

“This was our first time trying Mr. Greek and the food was fantastic. We are visiting from Halifax for the weekend to catch the last two games of the Jays regular season and being right across the street from the Rogers Center made it an easy choice to try something new. Our server was friendly and very polite which is sometimes hard to find these days. Thank you for a great experience!

“I visited Kathy's Grill for the first time a few days ago after having lived in the neighbourhood for the past year. Had I ventured in earlier instead of over patronizing my local Timmy's, KFC, Harvey's etc then I would have discovered the best chicken souvlaki dinner that I've ever had.“

“Perfect food, professional staff, cozy and clean place and unbelievable owners ��“

“Great food! Very Friendly staff. Love coming here.“

“Absolutely delicious at a great price. Food, service, atmosphere all amazing. All of my friends who I have brought here rate if 5/5, HAD to write a review! I’ve been here several times, and it’s warranted!“

“Good food and great service“

“Great friendly service, was served food pretty fast. The best fried calamari I have had yet. The chicken Slovakia dinner was so yummy. I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes they have. I Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys some real tasty Greek food.“

“Great spot to enjoy authentic Greek standards like moussaka, lamb shanks or chops, and appies. With drinks it's going to be about $50/person.
Sept 3 update. Went for lunch and tried the very reasonably priced menu. Had the pasta with meatsauce. Very tasty.“

“We came here to catch up with a friend, and brought my wife and our toddler along for dinner. Overall, it was a lovely experience, though our toddler’s energy meant we had to take turns stepping outside with him!

The food was fantastic and came out quickly. For appetizers, we ordered Greek fries, kalamarakia, and the saganaki Opa!—which was a fun show with the little flame. All of the appetizers were flavorful and satisfying.

For my main, I went with the roast lamb, which came with roasted potatoes, vegetables, and a Greek salad. The lamb was tender and packed with flavor, though I would have liked the potatoes to have been a bit crispier on the outside. The veggie portion felt a little light, especially for a $35 plate, but the Greek salad on the side helped balance it out.

Overall, it was a great meal, and we definitely enjoyed the flavors and atmosphere. Highly recommend for a laid-back, flavorful Greek dinner on the Danforth!“

“Amazing food and price 10/10“

“Great fresh delicious Greek food. Yummy gyros! Just awesome!!“

“Huge respect for this restaurant. The two brothers that run this shop make every effort to make a friendly and welcoming environment here. They remember customer orders, ingredients always look fresh, and their food is amazing.

I personally recommend their falafel wrap.“

“I went down to the St. Lawrence Market and stumbled upon Yianni's Kitchen on the lower level. I am glad I did! The chicken souvlaki pita was flavorful and since they didn't have French fries available, they offered me a side salad or potatoes. The potatoes were such a great substitute. 100/10, would definitely recommend.“

“We ordered from Mama Greek over the July 1st long weekend and they were kind enough to cater for our little party. We ordered the chicken and pork skewers, rice and potatoes, and spanakopita. It was a huge hit and everyone loved it! The homemade tzatziki was the best! The owners are so kind and even followed up to make sure it was ok.
We love mama Greek and will continue to order from there!“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and genuinely authentic. The chicken souvlaki was tender and perfectly seasoned, the lamb gyro was juicy with just the right amount of spice, and the tzatziki sauce was so creamy and refreshing. The Greek salad was crisp with the perfect balance of feta and olives — you can tell they use quality ingredients.

The flavors reminded me of real home-style Greek cooking — simple, fresh, and full of love. The portions are generous, and everything comes out hot and beautifully plated. Don’t miss the spanakopita and baklava for dessert — both are absolutely delicious!

If you’re looking for real Mediterranean taste, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend to any food lover who wants fresh, flavorful, and authentic Greek food! 🇬🇷🥙🍋“

“My husband picked thus place when I suggested Greek for lunch. I ordered the chicken souvlaki in a pita and he ordered the pork gyros in a bowl with rice. The souvlaki was amazing. Moisr, tender chicken, your choice of topping and delicious tzatziki. my husband's bowl was delicious and such a big serving that he couldn't finish it. The staff were friendly and it was a pretty good deal for the food. We will be back again to try some more of your delicious food.“

“This little pastry shop really feels like one of those hidden gems you’re so excited to find. Everything is so fresh and delicious and the staff are very kind.
