El Greeko — Restaurant in Toronto

COUNT YOUR CHANGE! I've enjoyed the food here for over 10 years, and the prices are very reasonable! ($6.99 for a quarter chicken dinner with rice, salad and potatoes). But be sure to COUNT YOUR CHANGE.

I hadn't been here in a year, so I stopped by for lunch. I had a cashier I'd never met before but it seemed like she'd been working here for a while (I think she's part of the family business.) I paid cash and I was supposed to get $12.10 change back. So first, the lady game me my change but it was 5 cents short. She didn't ask if I wanted my receipt and she didn't give a receipt, so i asked for it. The charge showed as $7.90, so I pointed out that she was 5 cents short with my change. She pointed out with a smile that she had given me a $10 bill, which I had put at already, and a toonie and a nickel, so she must have thought that I had forgotten that she gave me the bill. I stepped away but then looked at my change again. I went back to her and said that it wasn't about the bill, but that she was 5 cents short. Her smile was no longer there and she ended up speaking quickly and defensively. I wanted to show her the change in my hand and that she had given me a nickel instead of a dime, but then she said something about 5 cents plastic bag charge. But I was having my lunch for here and she hasn't given me a plastic bag in the first place. I pointed that out to her, and she was in a bit of a huff when she said that if i didn't want a bag, then i could have my 5 cents. How about I didn't get a bag, I didn't ask for a bag and I should get my correct change in the first place?!

So count your change because chances are, then are short changing people. It may have only been 5 cents for me, but 5 cents from everyone adds up, and...

I use to be a regular customer and eat from this place almost everyday because I work in the area.. I started noticing the owners attitude and the fact that I was constantly getting under cooked chicken..

The old man is VERY Rude, miserable and has an attitude MAJORITY of the time. Very poor customer service, he doesn’t know how to talk to customers at all.

I stopped going there because I started to get disgusted with his attitude and the fact that I was constantly getting served under cooked chicken and RAW chicken MORE then once from him. I have pictures to prove that. He then had the nerve and the audacity to roll his eyes shake his head then tell me that I complain too much.

I will take my money...

Today was the first time I have tried this place. I was hesitant at first, because I have had bad experiences with Greek food in the downtown PATH. El Greeko at Jane and Finch is easily the best place for a taste of Mediterranean cuisine. Some might prefer stronger presence of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh lemon with Oregano and Thyme and fresh garlic. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal exactly the way it was served. Professional yet friendly service. Competitive pricing. And most importantly delicious food!! This place just unknowingly gained a new 268 pound weekly customer who enjoys 2 meals per seating for himself and 1 for his wife who also enjoys El Greeko's wonderful fare. Great job El Greeko!!
