The Greek Freak - Ajax — Restaurant in Ajax

I have been ordering from this restaurant for at least the last three years. Myself and my colleagues would order every Monday. It was THAT good. I could feed my entire neighbourhood with the number of containers I have from the Lite Meals we would order (one stick and a small Greek salad).

Never a complaint…until recently. I would say over the last couple of months, the quality of the food has changed and unfortunately, not for the better.

Salad - the salads have consistently had brown soggy lettuce and only about 3 olives. The tomatoes are not as crisp and fresh. This is a change from previous. They also now have less cheese and less salad overall.

The pita - it seemed previously that the pita may have been warmed as they were very fresh/soft. Now, it’s as though they are taken out of a fridge and (sloppily) cut and placed in the container. They are ice cold.

The meat - I usually get the pork, but have had the chicken as well. My feedback is the same for both. Although the flavour is (kind of) the same, it is overcooked and as a result of that…very tough.

We have noticed this change over the last several orders, but continued to order, thinking it was an off week or something…and that it would get better. We maintained hope because of our love for the food previously. At this point we are all disappointed and sadly will have to look for a Monday lunch spot.

To the owners: Whatever has changed, has not been well received. I have noticed that there are similar reviews to mine. I hope you can take heed to the feedback and really improve to win back your...

I love the food! Went here for lunch as I’ve been craving some really good Greek food lately. There aren’t really any places like this in the Durham Region so I’m glad these guys are here. The pita sandwiches are excellent. The meat is tender with just enough saltiness. Very hearty and very satisfying. The Greek Fries are excellent. Crispy and golden with a great amount of oil and a generous helping of feta on top.

I’ve seen a lot of other reviews on here about wait times. Granted there’s a little longer of a wait than what people I think expect in this day and age but when the food is this good, I don’t mind waiting at all. Good quality food beats fast service every time. These guys took the care to get everything right and I appreciate that more than anything. It’s also important to know that these guys have only been open for about a month, so I understand that there are probably a lot of challenges when running a new business, let alone in the food industry, that sometimes need to get ironed out “on the fly”.

All in all, I’ll be back and I hope this place is here to stay!

UPDATE (August 20, 2020)

Still the best Greek food in town and they have greatly improved on their wait times for orders. Like I said before, quality food beats fast service every time and now that they’ve become even more efficient, it just makes it that much better when you’re chowing down on their dishes. Thanks, Greek Freak, for still...

This was our first time ordering from the Ajax location. We ordered Chicken souvlaki dinners. The portions were large and online ordering was very easy We received everything we ordered with no errors. The chicken was tender and flavourful. A few issues we had were the very soggy fries, dry rice, and charred pitas. In addition to the rice being dry, it had corn and peas in it. Not much but a few, not visible in the online photo and not what I prefer. The lettuce and onions in our salads were not fresh and were looking translucent.A sign they are on their last days. The Greek dressing was really tangy and the tsaziki lacked garlic flavour. I really look forward to a nice garlicky Tsaziki so this was disappointing.

Lastly, some of the salad dressing spilled in the bag after pick up. I would recommend finding a way to firmly secure the lids prior to placing them in a takeout bag and perhaps placing them in a small paper bag inside the large bag. Definitely not a horrible meal but certainly not the best. We will not be ordering from here again. Not a good first impression.

I’m sure running a business in a pandemic is no easy feat but don’t you want repeat customers? The quality was certainly compromised in this order although I paid full price for a...
