Waited 45 min as they did not honour reservation for 8, asked if we wanted anything as we waited but did not offer us anything for the wait.. dinner took 2.5 hours! Lamb souvlaki comes ground which was disappointing, and food is very greasy…this place is also expensive compared to the other options around

Overpriced food but village lamb and sagnaki were great. We were given wine that was 20$ a glass without notice...

Greeks Know This Place. TRUST ME! George serves up Traditional, Great tasting Greek food. 💯👍
Couldn’t be more impressed. We are part Greek (been to Greece several times) and went to other places on Danforth only to be very disappointed. After checking out the pictures of this place on Google, we felt it looked very authentic so wanted to give it a try. Boy did it deliver. One of the best Greek places I’ve had in a long time. Reminds me of the last time I went to Greece. Don’t look further if you’re looking for authentic Greek food (or just good food in general) and good service.

Had dinner here tonight with my family. My goodness…. If you are looking for authentic Greek food made with love and care, and a high level of service, you found the right place. It’s been a long time since I have found somewhere that serves delicious authentic Greek food and service, and I am so happy to have found this hidden gem. Will be back over and over again. Every single thing we ate blew expectations out of the wateri, and the service was so exceptional. Thank you so much!!

At peak times it can be a bit of wait to get a table if you don't reserve. Small space that is packed but don't worry you feel claustrophobic. Great food, with a wide variety of authentic choices. Service is friendly, fast and efficient. Prices are reasonable.
Outrageous prices for their home-made meals. Thank you very much for the burnt potatoes. You will see in my pictures. No sides with the moussaka only for slices of tomatoes. And the veal stifado is a dish made with baby onions and I got absolutely not even one again. Look at the pictures. It tells the entire experience. Terrible. You should be ashamed of yourself. George. Look at Floga restaurants pictures and see the difference. It's worth the drive to go to Kennedy road instead of Athens restaurant. Ρεζίλι έχετε γίνει.

The roast potatoes are very tender but not seasoned, with no browning on the skin. Rice is great though, perfect al dente texture with a touch of acidity from lemon and fragrance of garlic, onion, carrots and bell pepper niblets, and a subtle umami aroma. Bread has an excellent springback, but is a little chewy from takeout. Four lamb chops grilled to a medium well temperature, prob. carry over cooking from takeout. Tender texture, fat melts in your mouth but lamby flavour is a bit muted for my tastes. The char provides a wonderful depth of flavour without any acridness whatsoever. Overpriced for the portion I feel.
Absolutely awful experience at Athens Greek Restaurant. The service was some of the worst I’ve ever encountered—our server acted like we were a nuisance from the moment we walked in, barely spoke to us, and took forever to bring out our food. When it finally arrived, it was cold, bland, and honestly looked questionable.
Speaking of questionable, the hygiene in this place is shocking. Dirty utensils, sticky tables, and I even saw staff handling food with their bare hands after touching who-knows-what. It’s honestly disgusting, and I’m surprised this place is still running. There are so many great Greek restaurants on the Danforth—this is NOT one of them. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else.
I am highy surprised this place has not had their restaraunt license revoked and shut down, and even more surprised the general review is a 4.6 that is indeed concerning and should be checked for human authenticity.
last mention of the worst customer service, older male there (alongside with all the staff) has no manners, etiquette and respect towards a concerned customer. Treats you like a less than human being if it is not to his business' benefit.

Rudest staff in the world and I found hair in my food... this was the worst experience I've ever had. disgusting. I hate that there is no 0-star option this place was unsanitary and the person cooking the food was smoking a cig... horrible people never coming back into my life. FOOD SAFETY SERVICES CHECK THEM.
