Absolutely worth all the hype this restaurant gets! I just came here for a little pre-birthday dinner and everything was PHENOMENAL! It’s obviously on the pricier side so this is for sure a special occasion spot. But the vibes, the service, the food, all a 10/10! My faves were the Taramosalata dip, the Spanikopita, and the Lamb Chops! Everything was so flavourful and fresh. Definitely will be back for more!

Placed us right by the kitchen near the entrance. Interesting seating and really hot and uncomfortable. Great food though.

We weant there with high hopes and got disappointed. Nothing was bad but was far from the hype and also authentic greek food. The ambiance was super cool (Ossignton vibe) but price tag was not justified. $44 for Moussaka and $48 for the neck (March 2024) was unbelievable, look at the pictures how bland thr design was. Taste wise not much better. We dined in more than half of restaurants around Ossignton and we definitely feel ripped off with the medicore pricey food at Mamaks.

We ate very wellA little expensive but considering the quality of the cuisine it's completely understandableSmall absence and/or lack of attention from the service staff, the room was left without a server for a while but we had a good time and had a good meal.

Amazing food. Can be slightly loud.Counter dining.Get seafood whenever you can!The keftedes - beef meatballs with pine nuts. Nicely cooked, definitely smell the aroma.Horiatiki salad - nice olive oil. More veggies please.Bakaliaros - Black Cod - loved it. The sauce was something else.Yogurt dessert - thick Greek yogurt. Honey was tasty.

Mamakas is a well known Greek restaurant in Toronto. It is always jam packed all the time and make sure reservation is made ahead of time. We ordered Spanakopita for appetizer, then Rack of lamb and whole fish for main courses and finish up with baklava cheesecake. Be careful of how much you ordered because most courses come with yogurt. The lamb chop is a bit overcooked as I like medium. The fish is 1.5lbs and mentioned that it is wild caught. Baklava cheesecake is very good, but some people might feel a bit too heavy. Overall it is a great restaurant and highly recommended to anyone who likes to try out Greek food.

Greek food is like Mediterranean food. You can feel just a little like Greek style. I recommend the Sea food menu.Parking: You can find public paid parking lots within 5 min walking distance.

Our server Maggie was outstanding! She went over all the dishes in super detail and the ones she recommended was out of this world! Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we will be coming back for sure.Parking: Green P lot is just two blocks south of the restaurant. But it's a tiny lot.

Amazing, authentic Greek food. The only Greek restaurant in Toronto that deserves the epithet "Greek." Matches the quality and flavours of classic Greek cuisine at home, while also introducing a gastronomic touch: true Greek culinary art.Happy to support the Greek economy and would recommend to anyone hands down.

This is rapidly becoming our favourite place for a weekend lunch. The service is so relaxed and professional, the room is gorgeous and bright, and the food and drink are top-notch.

Group of 4 just visit it again for lunch and the food we all great! Their Service was superb because they accommodate a friend with a newborn and made space for us.Just found out everything is kosher/Halal except the chicken! It perfect for my partner's family and friends.Food were delicious as always, the lamb chops is a must. Only the black cod was a bit disappointing, but portion was great.We were so ?
