  First the food is great, but everything else is horrible. When we got to our table the plates that were there were dirty. They looked like they were washed without soap. Our water had bits of food floating around in it. We ordered a gyro to-go and specifically asked for it to have it brought at the end of our meal that we ate in store. It was the first thing they brought. I was also told by a previous employee that the owner keeps the tips, and i was advised not to tip! I cannot verify if that is true, as i have never seen it myself, but it's disgraceful if it is. This place used to be great, but it seems as though, whoever rans it, has lost interest and care for it, and it shows in the details.

  The first time I ate here last year was pretty good. I ordered a lamb gyro and Greek fries. The gyro was good but had way too many onions, and the fries were so perfect! Such a basic yet yummy recipe.
  
  The second time I visited a few months ago, the chicken gyro wrap (no onions) was fantastic, but the feta cheese on the Greek fries was burnt. I'm talking like literally black and charred. I threw them in the garbage.
  
  Just a few nights ago I went for the final time. My boyfriend and I shared Greek fries and roasted potatoes. When we took the containers out of the bag, grease spilled everywhere. Our pants and his car seats are stained with grease. The Greek fries weren't very good and the roasted potatoes were so bland, the only thing I could taste was oil.

  If you're looking for good service and will become irritated easily if you don't, you may not enjoy your experience. Otherwise, if you're satisfied with the fact that as long as the food gets delivered and they come over when you flag someone down, then you should be ok.
  
  Take the TTC, get off at Chester, and it's a minute-walk over.
  
  Food is good and affordable. Get a gyros for under $6 and it comes with a lot of fresh meat off the spit and soft fries! I typically come here just for it.
  
  Another item that I like is the gyros pizza, which is a personal sized pizza with cheese, vegetables, and meat. It's not greasy at all, which provides a pleasant tasting experience since I'm not a fan of greasy pizza.
  
  Sometimes they'll try to bring all the food at the same time, so if you order the pizza for example you will end up waiting a bit longer than others that get gyros or rice dishes.
  
  One of those places that's safe to organize a lunch or dinner at, though it can get busy.

  Maybe the best place in Toronto to enjoy Greek gyro. You might have to wait for 5' to get a table, depending on the time/day. Prices are reasonable. The only negative, is a manager/host that usually welcomes us. At times he can be very serious and unpleasant. He even blamed us one time because we didn't want to relocate to another table (in which he himself had placed us), by saying to the other company "they don't want to cooperate", while referring to us. Super rude on his behalf. I understand that he holds a stressing job, but I've never seen him smile. I don't know if he likes his job, but surely he is not very convincing. Nevertheless, the place is worth visiting. Depending on the time of the day, you can pay for street parking.

  Quick and easy Greek food. Greek sized portions which means they are huge. All the items are good here the salad, meats, cheese and fish are all good. Staple on Danforth. During dinner hours it can get busy but usually a quick turn over.
