24 Best Greek Restaurants in Ottawa

“I've been eatting Greeks to go since 2006. I've moved acrossed the country and I crave them so much. They have remembered me and when I come back to Ottawa, they are very accommodating. Every single time I go back, I HAVE to have their delicious food. If you want to try, mouth water food, eat here. Want great serve, eat here. Want a meal you won't forget, EAT HERE..... Mmmmmmm, now I wish I was there, trust me, its that good.“

“We ordered a pork plate. It came with rice, potatoes,txatziki and salad. Nina, our server, was kind enough to add a side of veggies and one skewer of lamb (both things not on the menu) to our order.
It was the perfect amount of food for my husband and me. The food has a homemade feel to it. We wiped our dishes clean. I did prefer the lamb to the pork - glad that Neena recommended it.
Excellent service!“

“Should be called 'Oh My DELICIOUS!'
Found this little hidden gem in the.Byward market today, tucked away at the end of York st and King Edward.
The food is made fresh and the Tzaziki sauce is amazing. Since it was a lunch visit I ordered the souvlaki filet mignon pita sandwich. They had me at the first bite.😜
Cant wait to go back and try another food item very soon.
Thanks guys...Kkeep grilling your way to yummy-ness!“

“I've been coming here for a few months now, and the food is always consistently amazing and delicious!
I highly recommend it to anyone who's in Bells Corners. They have the best Greek food and the best shawarma. The place itself is very cozy, and the staff are always friendly and very helpful.“

“This is the third time we have had lunch at Kallisto's- and we will definitely be back again. Our meals this afternoon were delicious (lamb brochette & shrimp brochette platters), the servings were generous and the service, as always, was warm and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that on Wednesdays, wine is half-price. What a deal! My 92 year old mother took advantage of this offer but as for me... I can't keep up to her even before a glass of wine. Do yourselves a favour and check-out this wonderful restaurant.“

“You don’t have to be Greek to love this place ! The Nutty Greek Bake Shop is so much more than just a bake shop . I always find it so hard to choose among the amazing selection of desserts ,pastries and cookies and other Greek delicacies. Who can pass up a piece of chocolate brownie Baklava ,Baklava Cheesecake or a Lemon and Ricotta filled Bougatsa ?! Just to name a few …The salads ,Pita Wraps ,Pita Combos ( lunch or dinner) are also all amazing .They even cater to groups.I recently brought a platter of mini Cheesecake Baklavas and Feta Cheesecake with a Sour Cherry topping to an event and they were a huge hit ! Everything is made from scratch and baked/ prepared daily with a whole lotta “Greek “love . I discovered this amazing place a few years ago having moved from Trto and having lived in Montreal .We here in Ottawa have the best of the best with The Nutty Greek Bakery .🇬🇷🇨🇦🥰 Kudos to Anna and the entire Papadopoulos family !“

“Excellent customer service and delicious food!“

“We had a lovely dinner tonight - excellent Naxos (fish dinner) and wonderful lamb chops!“

“Absolutely delicious. My first order, it certainly won't be the last.“

“Greek on Wheels deserves 5 stars for the food, and Adam deserves 10 stars for dealing with DoorDash lol I ordered the lamb chops medium rare and somehow they still arrived perfectly cooked despite the driver taking their sweet time. Everything was delicious, communication was excellent, and the service was above and beyond. If Adam isn't running the place already, he should be!“

“Genuinely one of the best pizza places in ottawa. The service was quick and polite and the pizza is delicious. Prices arent too steep and its worth every dollar. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially students looking for something good and quick on a budget“

“Had great meals at Evoo. The lamb is probably the best pick on the menu, followed by the squid. Best to go as a small group to share a few mezzes and a main dish. Service is great and waiters are very knowledgeable on what’s on the menu (there’s a lot to choose from). The place is nice with different table arrangements (tall tables, bar seats, regular sitting) so best to book to get seats you want. Place can get loud.“

“Not from Ottawa, but flew in this afternoon. Close to airport, man these guys do a fantastic job, friendly, quick, reasonable pricing. If I lived here this would be a go to for sure!!!!! Great food!!!!!!“

“Lovely Greek Style cuisine.“

“I come here as often as I can to eat, and every single time, I see someone in line being disrespectful to the staff. Without fail. Loud, rude, entitled customers who clearly don’t understand how restaurants — or basic human decency — work.
I’m writing this because I personally stood up for the staff as a customer, and the response I got says everything. Instead of reflecting on their behavior, the customer tried to escalate the situation and told me to “mind my own business,” then attempted to engage in a fight outside the mall. All of this — over staff simply doing their job. That tells you exactly who the real problem is.
I’ve worked in restaurants myself, so I know exactly what I’m talking about. The staff here are not the issue. The issue is cheap, entitled customers who demand more while paying less, then throw tantrums when reality doesn’t bend to them.
This is one of the busiest stores in the entire food court. Nonstop lines, constant pressure, long exhausting shifts — and still, some of you think it’s acceptable to yell at workers, call them names, and publicly embarrass them in front of a packed mall. That behavior is pathetic.
Let’s make this painfully clear: the staff do NOT control prices. The mall and the Jimmy the Greek franchise do. Yet the workers take the abuse. Calling them cheap, being loud and rude, humiliating them, threatening them, and causing scenes because you’re unhappy with prices you didn’t set is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Pushing religion onto staff while demanding they smile through disrespect is harassment, not kindness. These workers are human beings, not punching bags for your frustration.
For a change, try asking them how they’re doing. Everyone is struggling. These people are working long shifts just to survive while being treated like garbage by customers who think money gives them power.
And here’s a reality check: if you can’t afford the food, don’t buy it. If you don’t like the prices, don’t go there. It’s that simple. What you don’t get to do is abuse staff because you’re unhappy with your own situation.
To the mall management and the Jimmy the Greek franchise: take note. Your pricing and policy decisions land directly on your staff’s backs, and they’re the ones absorbing the anger, threats, and hostility. Protect your employees instead of leaving them exposed to daily abuse.
The staff here deserve respect. If this review offends you, good — it probably means you’re exactly the type of customer being called out.“

“Hey there! We ordered for the first time last nite and everything was great! We both got the Club wrap which was very fresh and tasty:). We also ordered a small roasted potatoes with garlic sauce...so yummy!“

“I was sad when this place replaced the Oka’s that used to be here as it was my favourite shawarma spot, but I’ve got to say I’ve been here a number of times now and it’s carrying the torch quite well. Solid wraps and poutines for sure.“

“The food was of excellent quality, tasty, and fresh. Fast service and Delivery. Efficient and delivered precisely as requested. We were delighted with our Christmas Eve dinner. Our previous order from HAPPY GREEK was taken and charged to my credit card, yet when we went to pick up there was a CLOSED sign on the door. THEY still have not returned my money. There is no excuse for such criminal behaviour on Christmas EVE. YOU SAVED OUR CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER. THANK YOU.“

“We drive from Carleton Place to Bayshore just to eat at Jimmy The Greek at Bayshore shopping mall in Ottawa. We always enjoy the freshness of the food and love how it tastes the same every time we visit our favorite place to eat. The stafe at Jimmy the Greek at Bayshore shopping mall in Ottawa are very polite and friendly every time we come. We always look forward to having lunch or dinner at Jimmy the Greek at Bayshore shopping mall. Thank you to all staff who work here.“

“Ate here for the first time. Fast service, fresh tasty food, generous portions. Not cheap but worth it. Has greek salad, chicken souvlaki and a spinach pastry all was delicious. They should put the yogurt sauce in a container instead of on the salad and meat but otherwise great food.“
