The food was amazing, me and my friend ordered chicken katsu and it was so crispy. The curry tasted amazing and savoury and it had little delicate carrots and it was delicious. The service was nice and the server was so friendly and the atmosphere was so comfortable. Overall I loved everything!!

I always end up coming here because not a lot of places offer salmon maki rolls (nori outside) like Casa Sushi does. (Thank you!) Regardless, something I notice every time is that the rolls are continuously falling apart. Perhaps the chef does not roll the sushi firmly enough, or does not apply some wet rice on the perimeter to help it adhere. The gyoza looked very good but after biting into it I was a bit disappointed because the flavour was just okay. Maybe needed a bit more seasoning.

Ordered the skewer chicken with potatoes and salad. Food was very bland and the presentation is uninspired. The chicken specifically was cooked fine but didn't have any seasoning or flavour. The salad was okay, but I would have liked more olives on a Greek Salad. More than two. They also sat us beside the garbage/cleaning supplies area. We were swarmed with wasps the entire time and since they are understaffed (waiters cleaning and serving) there was no one to help out.

Some issues with the food & prices. Dined here on August 18, 2025 for lunch. I ordered 1 chicken kebab and Greek salad. Astronomical price of $25. Plus the taziqui sauce was hot and spicy and our waitress said that's all it had. I can not imagine giving this condiment to any child. It ruined my meal. A pork souvaki in a pita was filled with fat. My spouse said it was terrible plus he received all the end pieces of French fries. $16. What is one to do when you have a lovely motherly waitress who stops by your table at your first bite and you tell her your food is good. Usually its at the second and third bite when you realize your food is crap. Ps. When we walked in a tall, male was inside picking his nose, he saw us and stopped. We hoped he was a customer, sadly he was not. When we departed he was an employee working on the grill.

We were greeted and seated pretty quickly this afternoon. The food came out fresh, delicious, and cooked well. Service was friendly and no frills. My family and I enjoyed our lunch experience very much and will always be a customer to Astoria, no matter the location! We all got different meat (pork, beef, and chicken) souvlaki and they were all cooked to perfection!

Came with a group of friends as they take reservations! This place was okay. The food took a while to come and the portions did not match the price. It was yummy, but I have gotten better for a more reasonable price at other greek spots :( The atmosphere was very lively and cozy though! We still had a good time catching up. There are definitely better greek spots within greektown, but the other ones we wanted to go to do not take reservations* Truthfully, I would not come again :(

Very disappointed. We drove all the way to enjoy the juicy, thick pieces of chicken souvlaki that Astoria was once famous for—but instead, we got small, dry pieces. Prices have gone up, which we understand, but at least keep the quality for God’s sake! I don’t think we’ll visit again, because we can get that kind of quality anywhere.

Service is outstanding. Food selection is amazing. My first time after over 10 years. Nothing but the best. Great saganski. My octopus dish was a thrill. Other dishes were fabulous. The servers never stopped checking on us. Happy to be back

Amazingly fresh and delicious food at Pantheon, a staple of Greek town. Calamari is grilled to perfection here. I will call out however that I had a strange situation with their server Peter B. I was presented the bill and asked if I needed the machine. When he showed me the machine, it was on the tap to pay screen with the total amount. I thought this was strange at first, and just assumed there was a mandatory tip that was added to the bill already. I then proceeded to tap to pay. But after he looked at the machine, he called me out for not tipping him. But the issue was I was never prompted by the POS to add a tip, leading me believe that a step was missed before he handed me the machine. Either way, it’s pretty unprofessional to confront a customer about this especially when the mistake was on your end. I even offered to redo the transaction in order to add a tip, to which Peter declined. What’s the point of calling me out if you don’t even give me the option to fix what was clearly a mistake? I understand Peter is old and unlikely to change, but this is no way to treat a customer.

We enjoyed our meal here. The platter of dips and the saganaki were both excellent! Unfortunately the tomatoes in the salads were a little mealy and some of the food was under seasoned. Service was fine, it was clear that the restaurant was very busy.

Absolutely fantastic experience at The Pantheon Restaurant! The food was delicious—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. We can’t wait to come back and try more from their amazing menu. Highly recommend!

Had Sunday late lunch there with my friends. We had to wait to get a table for 20 min. Because this place is quite popular, also service is a lit bit slow. Food is delicious and prices are affordable, big portions. Greek salad was amazing, pork gyro - highly recommended !
Arsenii Protskov - 2 months ago

One of the most delicious lamb and beef combinations plates ever had. Honestly you should be fan of fatty lamb otherwise try other mixtures but trust me you’ll be satisfied. Never skip their greek salad, you’ll need that freshness as a side of your food whatever it is. The greek fries plate is a to the point portion of home fries and greek feta. If you’re in Greek town don’t miss this place.
Azadeh R - 5 months ago

Such a pleasure dining solo in the patio. The servers were all friendly, helpful and kind. The chicken souvlaki dinner was tender, moist and flavourful. The portions were huge and the potatoes melted in my mouth. Don’t miss the Greek salad! Fantastic.

Gyros hands down the best you’ll find anywhere! Messini Authentic Gyros serves up juicy, perfectly seasoned meat wrapped in fresh pita with all the classic toppings. Every bite bursts with authentic Greek flavor that keeps me coming back again and again. If you love real, delicious gyros made with care, this is the place to go—truly unbeatable!

Visited here on a thurday spring night. Plenty room for dine in. Nice staff too. The inside atmosphere was a bit warm and it was a bit old. Especially the washrooms smelled like an old place but things were sufficiently clean. We ordered mixed beef/lamb plate. Came with a salad, and greek fries. Loved the fries and salad but we didn't like the meet at all. It was full of fat and seemed a bit low quality.

Great vibe, busy spot. No reservations, but the host was super helpful and got us a table when we needed it. Food took a while, but it was worth the wait. Lamb chops were the standout. The small dip platter with garlic pita was a nice start, and the calamari was fresh. Cocktails were refreshing, and prices were fair. Only downside was the noise—it gets really loud inside—and the waiter didn’t check on us much. Still, overall a solid experience.
Nate Miro - a month ago

Food was fine, we ordered many small dishes. The famous flamed cheese was very salty, the lamb chops were smaller than expected but it was okay. The problem was, it was very very loud. It was Wednesday evening and I almost lost my voice talking to my friend for just over an hour. We were seated around 5:30pm as a walk-in and in 30 minutes it got pretty full and very busy, by the time we left there was a line up.

Whether it's sharing plates between family members, friends gabbing over drinks, or a casual date night, Mezes is a great spot to check out. Their stylish patio can accommodate large groups, the food is good and so is the service. I would definitely recommend to friends.
Michael Featherstone - a week ago

I’ll start by saying the Mezes olive oil that they have at each table is incredible. It’s so aromatic, and embodies the full flavour of olives. The food is decent. Calamari and pita with dips were probably my favourite dishes. The grilled vegetables were a bit too burnt (quite blackened), but the meat and seafood dishes were good. No reservations but we came 15 min after opening for lunch on the weekend and got a spot.
Julie Huang - 3 months ago

My wife and I finally got to eat at the new location for Mezes. Every other time we’ve gone there we’ve had our young children and it continued as they aged up through to adult children. It was just the two of us for a romantic birthday dinner for my wife. The new location was very nice and the balcony was an improvement over their last location down the street. The interior has the raised dining area very similar to the old location. The food, the service and the atmosphere has never disappointed and continues to provide consistent, good food, and great service. Our waiter has worked at the restaurant for a couple of years and was very friendly. We recommend you check it out. They do not take reservations.

Fun service. We had Vito. The food was delicious. They free pour the wine at your table which is nice. A shot of vodka was $12 a bit pricey. The martini was ok. There’s a nice patio as well. I’ll go back for sure.

Follow @bredgyeats on IG for more food posts! A relaxed atmosphere that almost feels like you've stepped into Italy, reinforced by the seemingly authentic flavours in each dish. To begin our journey were two plump, tender meatballs stuffed with some cheesy mozzarella and topped with grated parmesan. It has an overall smoother mouthfeel, like a comforting home-cooked meatloaf and is served with a tangy tomato sauce that balances each bite. The seafood medley is brought together in a sea of tangy tomato-based sauce and linguine, creating a heterogenous bite of bay scallops, mussels and shrimp.

Delicious appetizers (calamari and arancini), lasagna and pasta were very good, and a nice wine pairing. Wasn’t too busy on a Wednesday night. Sat indoors but plenty of outdoor seating.
Bryan Mo - a month ago

Nice location, small but cozy atmosphere. The service was excellent, staff was friendly and checked in during the meal. The food was nice, but I didn’t find it worth the price, and paying extra for each side, that’s the only reason for my 4⭐️ rating. Worth giving it a go if you like the Danforth atmosphere :)
Nicole eliza - 4 months ago

We’ve been coming here for over 8 years if not longer and I’m not sure what’s going on but things have been going downhill recently. The portions got smaller and smaller (fine, the cost of food went up), the pastas have become more dry and flavourless and oily, and the service is just bad. If you get there on a busy night you can wait well over an hour for your food which is ridiculous. The servers can’t remember your order, they go Unfortunately I can’t say that we’ll be back anymore.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! Every time I'm craving an indulgent dessert that's as pretty as it is delicious, you'll find me here. The eggy crepe is perfectly thin, with a subtly fluffy, chewy texture that has a springy quality shining with each of the toppings. It serves as a brilliant base for the creamy strawberry ice cream and fresh strawberries, providing a creamy and tart contrast to cut through the richness. As a thoughtful finish, the milky white chocolate sauce adds hints of buttery vanilla while the golden waferettes add a crunchy texture with a mild caramel taste.

Hello, I came here with my friends today and I want to share my experiences with you. First of all, the place is very nicely decorated, the employees were very friendly, but before we even finished our desserts and there were customers inside, the waiter said that the kitchen would close, it was around 9 pm, I don't understand why he came and told us this, we ate waffle cake, but to be honest, the taste was not what I expected, it was too thick, it started to be too much after a few bites, none of us could finish what was on our plates. I don’t think I will go again.

The Best 👌 value for your money 💰 on the Danforth in terms of Greek 🇬🇷 Cuisine. Try the Chicken 🐔 or Pork Souvlaki Dinners 🍽 😋 with Rice 🍚 & Roast Potato 🥔 a Greek Salad 🥗 is included. I like 👍 the large dinner 🍽. Gyros Dinners 🍽 are also extremely popular 👌 you can also get them served on a Pita. The wait Staff are friendly & very accommodating. Order a take out order to go 🚶‍♂️ 🙌 & it's ready in about 15 to 20 minutes for pickup. I been coming here for over 25 years. Highly recommended 👌 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 🇬🇷

Our family has been coming here for years! My favourite Greek restaurant on the Danforth. We drive from the Georgian Bay Area to eat here. Incredible salad and souvlaki!!
Steven Baker - a week ago

Kalyvia continues to be our favorite Greek spot on the Danforth, and if you’re looking for delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, and top-notch service, this is definitely the place to go. Our server, Rumi, was friendly and attentive, she made the whole experience enjoyable.Highly recommended
Nino and Lo - 5 months ago

Kalyvia is my favourite Greek restaurant! Food: Fried Calamari appetizer is amazing and my favorite dish to order! Kalyvia has the best calamari I’ve ever had in my opinion! It’s a bit pricey at $25 though. Large Greek Salad is also tasty and amazing. Large size is great for sharing between two people. I love their Greek Salad dressing and would also buy a bottle of it to take home. Double Pork Souvlaki Sticks and Double Lamb Souvlaki Sticks are amazing as well! Comes with at least 5 or 6 pieces per stick. Complimentary Garlic Bread was also very tasty and the best garlic bread I’ve ever had! I would also recommend their Saganako which is kinda like their Flaming Cheese. Service: We arrived at around 5pm and we were the only ones there, but it slowly picked up during our visit. Our server was very friendly and offered their Specials of the Day. Not a huge deal but I was expecting to start off with our salad first but we got our calamari first instead.
Arnel Barrientos - 3 months ago

A nice restaurant on Danforth with a very rustic feel. The food here was very tasty and well portioned and prices were reasonable. Our server was friendly quick and efficient. Unlike most Greek restaurants that serve warm pita, we were served a lightly buttered toasted sesame seed bread and it was delicious.

January 31st 2025 at 11:30am - It was a surprise visit to this tea shop for our daughter since she’s never tried halo halo. This was a favourite dessert of mine from the Philippines and I wanted her to try for the first time. We’ve never been to this shop/resto so was pleasantly surprised that there was seating available for a Friday afternoon around lunchtime. The wait for the halo halo was long but expected (if you know you know). Since I knew it was going to take time, daughter had also never tried funnel cake so I ordered that too. Both orders did not disappoint! Very nostalgic to say the least…sigh….to be young again without a care in the world enjoying halo halo in the heat of back home. Let’s just say we didn’t have any leftovers! Lovely elderly couple behind the counter. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu. A highly recommended spot on the Danforth!

This is a great Filipino tea shop that serves a variety of Filipino drinks and desserts, as well as your standard selection of bubble teas. Halo halo is one of my favourites, and they do it pretty well here. Generous serving of ingredients. They have a good selection of hot foods as well which are worth coming back for and trying it. The decor inside is also very cozy feeling, making it a great place to hangout in the evening size they open until 2am.

Been here a few times now and have always been impressed with what I've ordered and with the service received. There really is something for everyone here. I wanted something warm, parents wanted something cold and fiance wanted something in between. The portions were more than decent! My bowl of soup was filled to the brim and my parents' halo halo was served in a big bowl for easy sharing. I couldn't believe how much ice cream came with the affogato. We were already full but demolished it cause it was so good. I plan to try their meals one day; the table next to us ordered food and the bowls looked huge. I will always support Filipino businesses but I try to be objective too. This place deserves all the business. If given the choice for tea, dessert, etc I will hands down opt to go here, just on value for money alone.

Fantastic place, absolutely great service by Yunice. She was very knowledgeable about different teas, great collection by the way. All the bubble tea flavors were unique and refreshing : )
Janhavi Jadhav - 5 months ago

After reading the awesome reviews, I needed to experience it myself. Matcha Tea Latte was definitely delicious, creamy and made with almond milk. My friend had the chocolate cake which was delicious and enjoyed coffee with almond milk. They had plenty of selection of sweets unfortunately they were not dairy free.

Delicious soft serve vanilla ice cream dipped in melted chocolate! A great variety of chocolate flavours and toppings to choose from as well. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Will visit again to try more of the flavours!
Marianna Fox - 6 months ago

Nice place, open late (until 1am) if you feel like snacking at night. Tried waffles, presented as Belgian, but they tasted like old bun dough. The ice cream is okay, but looks and tastes a bit like it’s artificially flavored. Chocolate lava cake didn’t have chocolate filling and didn’t “ooze out”, but tasted good though
Sezim - 2 years ago

Very delicious and lots of variety of deserts. Interior is a bit dated, but otherwise great experience. Food is amazing and drinks were good as well! No complaints about the food and the staff were helpful!

Great spot for ice cream lovers! La Diperie offers excellent choices in vanilla softy dips with added toppings as well as some really good hard ice cream and sorbet options. They also serve shakes and some good desserts to choose from at a very pocket friendly price. We tried their Dark chocolate vanilla softy dipped in almonds and oreo crumbs and tried a chocolate cone topped with nuts and both were delicious! Surely coming back for more. Update: I've always loved la diperie but now there's a better reason to visit them more often! They've introduced delicious Belgian waffles to their menu that tastes SO delicious. I tried their chocolate chip cookie dough waffle and the molten lava cake one and both were yummy licious!
