Delicious, generous, well prepared, and attractively served food by a cheerful waitress named Bernadette. I loved her down to earth and personable manner. The chicken souvlaki was superb. It was my birthday and I received a sweet piece of baklava. Thank you Greek Garden..I'll be back!

Server was nice and service was quick!Ordered the Chicken Souvlaki and it was extremely average; comparable to Jimmy the Greek except they’ll give you more rice at Jimmy’s. When you first walk in, you appreciate the vintage look but the more you look around, you realize that it’s older and a little run-down. In the men’s bathroom stall, there was a big hole in the ceiling and a large spider in the corner. Had to keep my eyes on it at all times.

The portion size for the chicken souvlaki dinner was ridiculously small, it didn't fill us up at all. The Moussaka was okay but the zucchini layer wasn't tender enough. Most moussakas I've had in restaurants were super tender and easy to tear or scoop with a fork. Otherwise the bechamel and meat in the moussaka is very flavourful though just not a fan of the zucchini.

I've been going to the Greek Gardens for many many years but last night was VERY disappointing! When we arrived, we were greeted by the waitress, she picked up two menus and started to walk away, so we followed her thinking she was going to bring us to our table, but she darted off to another customers table, felt like a fool!!! So we stepped back while she talked to the customers at their table, she then returned to us and pointed from across the room and said, you can sit there!!! It was very unprofessional on her part, she should have escorted us to our table instead of pointing from across the room. Fast forward....I ordered the Chicken Slovaki like I always do and couldn't wait to eat because know it's always delicious, BUT not this time, I wasn't impressed AT ALL. II think because the restaurant was so busy that my plate sat out on the kitchen counter for quite some time because the rice and chicken was barely warm, the roasted potatoes looked like yesterdays leftovers, I didn't eat the potatoes which I always do. By the time I got a quarter way into my food, it was cold. I should have stated my disappointment, but I was on a first date and didn't want to make a scene or cause a fuss! I'm reluctant to go back and give them another shot, and if I do and it happens again I won't be quiet if the food isn't up to the Greek Garden standard as they have been in the past. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Meal for take out is 3/4 of what you use to get. Had the rib meal, ribs were small and sides were little portions. $33 and I felt ripped off. Everything taste wonderful but I still need dinner. It use to be fantastic.

It wasn't very well lit inside and the floors and bathrooms were disgusting, there was only one waitress so it took forever to get our food (50min). But the food was delicious. I'll be back...

Was in for lunch today Feb 12 th and was a little disappointed. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 kids. When we got home we realized that We were charged $57 instead of $45 for 3 of our chicken souvlaki meals. Was also surprised that we paid $2.95 each for 4 salad substitutions from Greek to

Took my daughter in law for a family birthday lunch. Ordered a specialty coffee which came with a shot of liquor. Wasn't made properly. The meals were good, but when offered a free birthday dessert, they didn't have 2 of the offered desserts from the menu. The waitress although pleasant got frustrated at having to keep saying they didn't have our choices. So although the meal itself was good, everything else wasn't satisfactory.
