Paros Real Greek — Restaurant in Calgary

I made it Paros on the opening day of its new city centre location in the new 8th Street Cooperative, which with Noodlebox and Little Lot Diner constitutes a sort of urban food court that has injected life into what had been a sad, sad Ric's with windows that were this horrible opaque green that didn't interact with the street at all. This new project has been a LONG time coming, since last summer, and it's great to see it come to fruition.

On that first visit, I got a pork gyro- pork is traditional (no, not lamb, pork) and it was a disappointment, very dry and with too little of what I could taste was very good tzatziki. But that was opening day, and yesterday, after several weeks, I decided to give them another shot, and wow, am I glad I did.

I got the chicken gyro platter- the chicken is thigh and leg and it's gloriously moist and fatty but still crispy somehow. It is fantastic. Pita comes with it (good Greek pita), cut into fourths, and then for my two sides I chose the lemony potatoes and the village salad. When it came to my table, it had a BIG ramekin of that amazing unctuous tzatziki right in the middle, and I used every drop on my chicken. Just those three things - the gorgeous chicken, perfectly grilled pita and that amazing, amazing tzatziki- would have been plenty and in fact I didn't even finish the potatoes or the salad, though...

Bad experience with one of the staff members. I asked for fried zucchini and the girl with long hair and glasses got impatient with me when i was pulling my money out, she didnt give me a receipt for my order and didnt repeat my order back. She snapped at me when I was pulling out money asking if I wanted it to go or stay. It took a while for me to get my order and when I left I smelled fish and looked in the bag and got calamari and not the fried zucchini that I ordered.

When I went back I talked to the other girl and told her that I got the wrong item and I'm allergic to seafood and she was apologetic and asked the cook to make me my fired zucchini. The girl with the glasses then told the other that I was lying about ordering the fired zucchini. Then she gave me my item just slamming it on the table and I left.

Why would I order something I cant even eat. This whole experience ruined my appetite. I gave this place 2 stars because of that nice and apologetic girl and I will not be rushing back to Paros...

Edited tonight had to reorder for dinner tonight to get my hubby to try them as I was so impressed the other day!

…half way thru his wrap he found a huge hair completely stopped us from eating anything else from our order. Called the restaurant they told me to contact Skip the Dishes for full refund…contacted Skip and Skip refused to follow

restaurants wish to resolve this….i will never order from Skip ever again as they should do what the restaurant wanted wishes to do to resolve the issue. I could not eat order after such a hygiene issue.

Wow!!! Great taste tried them on Skip and a WOW deal for a chicken wrap and it was delicious !! I loved the fries in the wrap and was sceptical about how good it would be but it was fantastic!!!...
