We all went in with expectations given the hype that surrounds it. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. Nothing stood out. We applaud them for the generous portions and the "home style" cooking but noticed a few flaws.
The Greek salad that comes with the youvetsi - the size of the vegetables were huge. Thick and large slices of tomato and cucumber - what? Ok. I can cut these up myself but please take care of what you serve your customers. I hate having to shovel food through my mouth. Nothing particularly special about it. Boring olive oil and spices used and feta cheese just dumped all over it.
The youvetsi - fuck. They sprinkled Kraft parmesan cheese? What the fuck is this? I get that this is a staple Greek dish but please don't take a dump on something you can be proud of. The lamb was nothing particularly special and tasted like something out of the freezer. I can't say I enjoyed this dish but if you are a meat eater, hey, this might be your dish. Not for me.
Food - I'm on the fence for this one. I can appreciate a home cooked meal but nothing stands out. Portions were very generous and the price reasonable. I was really hoping for a big "wow" factor and I love Mediterranean food. I'll give this a conservative 6/10. Don't listen to the 10/10 Best Greek Food Ever bullshit.
Service - Yeah. Unattentive but friendly. A meager 6/10. I recommend reservations on the weekends otherwise, be prepared to wait in line for what I consider run of the mill Greek cuisine. (Think Stephos.)
Value - As I said, generous portions of food for the price you pay. Stephos can suck a dick. 8/10.

Whenever I take my dad out for dinner we usually go Niagra Falls or Primerose, both just past the tunnel. I usually just eat calamari and greek salad, mostly because it's something I can not eat at home.
Also I've been eatting at tandoori kona lately. Take out as per recommended.
Went 3 times in the past week and a halfish.
First time got the lunch special(butter chicken + Rice + naan) with 2 samosas. Came out to 11 dollars.
Not a whole lot of chicken, but I was full after. 8/10
The next time got goat curry, 2 samosas. Came out to 11 dollars.
Decided the next time dinner takeout.
Got the lamb korma (hot) with rice and 2 naan. This was pretty pricey. Came out to 17 dollars. He was nice enough to throw the naan in for free, since I was short a dollar or 2.
my god lamb korma is my favourite thing ever, and this was just fucking awesome.
10/10 Even though it's half eatten the portion was unbelievably generous.
