Yummy Souvlaki's name had me excited, but unfortunately, the experience left me wanting more. The gyros, a cornerstone of Greek cuisine, was a major letdown. Instead of the expected slices of seasoned meat, it was just ground meat. This completely changed the texture and taste, leaving it bland and unappetizing.
The salad seemed like an afterthought, drowning in dressing and featuring overly sour pickles that overpowered any other flavours. The chicken shawarma dinner, while not offensive, suffered from dryness.
The restaurant's decor added to the confusion. It felt like a jumble of styles, possibly leftover from a previous tenant (maybe African?). It certainly didn't create a welcoming Greek atmosphere.
The biggest turnoff might have been the dessert display case. The baklava, a classic Greek pastry, looked parched and unappetizing.
Overall, they missed the mark on both food and ambiance. With just a bit more attention to authenticity and presentation, they could potentially live up...
Read moreI was tasked with picking up an extremely large order for 75 cast and crew while we were working in Keswick. The owner bravely took on the order, even though it was within a window of time where it would have been reasonable to refuse something that large. Everything was prepared with care, and the food was outstanding. We all shared chicken wraps, pork wraps, falafel wraps, and salads. The chicken pita wrap was one of the most delicious wraps I’ve ever had. The pita was easily one of the best wraps I’ve ever tasted. The consistency and flavour really stood out. And the ingredients used were high quality. You can taste the difference between a regular Osmow’s shawarma, and a place like this. All in all, I’d drive to Keswick from North York to experience that again. Thank you to the owner, who I enjoyed a casual conversation with as he prepared the remaining meals for our crew. We all thought the food was amazing. I would...
Read moreI was super excited to grab food at this place again. When they first opened, I went there and the food was amazing, juicy and flavourful. 2 weeks ago, I went by to grab some dinners and find the food and service was mediocre. I did not have the same experience as last time, last time the gentlemen in the front was super friendly chatty and took his time to explain his dishes. This time, the lady in the front couldn't care less. It was awkward standing there ordering food as she was staring at you while you look at the menu. I wanted to order the roasted chicken leg dinner she said they don't have it today, and then when I wanted to order the lamb chop it was going to take 20mins or so for it. I did not want to wait, so I ordered chicken souvlaki and leg of lamb, both were dry and disappointing. I will not...
