    Great spot for food. Serivce was excellent. The drinks and food variety is large, giving you lots of options. There's a choice for indoor or closed outdoor sitting that views the canal. All the food tasted delicious. There's a lot of space in the restaurant so there's a nice bit of room between you and the tables beside you. I would definitely recommend this place if you haven't gone yet.

    Overall, a very good dinner. Our waiter was great, very attentive and informative. We got there towards the end of the evening, so we felt a little rushed, but still a very nice evening. Try the grilled octopus!

    Mouth watering and delicious food. We sat out, and it was such a pleasant lunch for us. From appetizer to entrée, everything was so good. We skipped on dessert just because we had so much to eat already.

    I was really hoping to have a good experience here. Unfortunately, not so much. We started off good with bruschetta as our entrée which was ok. Here's when my experience goes south. We placed our order and continued to wait. Let's just say We waited an hour before the waitress came to us and asked us if we would like dessert or the bill. I then said that it would be great if we had received our dinner first. By the time she came with the food, it was clearly reheated in the microwave, and my lamb chops were rubbery. It's pretty sad when they forget about you but remember to bring you the bill before getting your meal. Instead of reducing the price on our order, they gave us dessert that was not very appetizing. Total time there, arrived at 5pm and left at 7:25pm.

    So good!!! The amount of food for the price is amazing!! It was so busy on a Saturday there so I recommend reserve! We were on a wait list but we didn't mind the wait. The view we got at the patio was top notch! 👌Food was delicious we got the chicken and pork kebab, comes with a big bowl of salad to share and 4 bread sticks 😋

    Great Greek food. A little different than other places. Chicken was good and similar to other places. Tzaziki had greens in it - maybe cucumber shavings- tasted good, but I prefer plain. Potatoes were not as lemony as regular Greek potatoes. Large Greek salad was very big vs other places. Prices were good vs similar restaurants. Service was good. They give you a garlic stick bread to start. Place is clean and Greek music playing over head. The have porch area where they have sliding doors to get outside atmosphere overseeing the canal. You can see the bridge over the canal. Lots of drink to choose from. I will definitely come back.

    We stopped at George’s Greek Village on our way back from Niagara Falls. Overall the food was very good and the staff was very friendly and diligent. The portions were satisfying, although we found the grilled octopus to be a little less “shareable” than other Greek restaurants, and the lamb chops were quite fatty but, that may not be an issue for some people.

    This is our second time try here and now time to have our opinion. We always giving 2 or 3 times chance to try before put the review. We really recommend it. Very authentic and quality food. We tried sole fish and chicken kebabs. And some chicken and shrimps skiwers, and it really was good. Salad was also very tasty and the seating in the back with the canal view is amazing and comfy. This restaurant deserve more tries for sure

    Nice patio with a cool view of two bridges. Our meal included lots of good food and was very reasonably priced. The servers seemed pretty busy, but otherwise service was quick and helpful.

    It was a great and comfortable place to eat lunch with my friend! The server was so kind that she let us know how to pronounce the name of menu as we got there for the first time and not familiar with Greek food. lol Foods were also awesome. I highly recommend this place as well. :)

    Always a busy place. Excellent service and wonderfully flavourful foods. When busy, it can be very loud inside. Reservations are not taken for outdoor seating. Easy parking.

    What can I say? It’s been almost 6 months contemplating whether I should write this review or not cause I hate writing bad reviews. But, we’ve tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. We’ve eaten there 4x - once with my late fiancé over 2 years ago (who never cared to go back), and 3x now with a new friend, who LOVES Greek food. First time wasn’t so bad when he ordered one of the most expensive lamb dinners on the menu, for us. The order took an unusually long time to get to the table. The second time, we ordered the same thing but this time around, there was more bone than meat with the lamb dinner. The place was crowded so we figured we’d call the next day about it. When we did, they told us we should’ve informed them at the time. Maybe so but we didn’t want to cause a scene. Nevertheless, any other place would’ve, at the very least, offer a free dessert or something. We received nothing. Third time around, the order took forever as usual to get to the table but the meat was very salty with the gyro dinner at which time we were informed by our waitress that it was the only meat that was not cooked on the premises but ordered from a supplier. The lamb in my pita I could not chew. I tried over and over. I asked for it med-rare. Was this why? Honestly, I ended up choking on it. There could’ve been a major scene but I kept my cool and eventually was able to heave it back out. The scenery is great, the staff amazing but the food and business etiquette, unfortunately, we can’t rave about. :( We’ve been to a Greek restaurant in the states and portions were surprisingly bigger. Sorry for the not-so-great review.

    We had an awesome experience for a dinner date here. We sat on the heated, enclosed patio and loved it. Would definitely recommend the saganaki, pork, skewers and the baklava sundae. Taylor J. was our server, they were wonderful. Next time we'll definitely try the brizzola from the village (10 oz steak). A table near us ordered it and it looked amazing. We look forward to coming back some time soon. Thanks!

    The food was pretty good and the service friendly. It would have been fun to see a ship pass by in the Canal just below, but timing didn't work out. Lunch specials are very reasonably priced, by the way. I had the half portion of the moussaka with Greek salad and my husband had the grilled vegetable wrap.

    The scenery at the deck was certainly pleasant and that was the biggest selling point for me, food was above average and the waiting staff were very friendly. Only down side was that the the short skewer sticks were a little too dry. Over all great experience and probably one of the best restaurants of our weekend to the falls.

    Great location, friendly service and good food. Lamb kebob was delicious and juicy. Really good Saganaki. We were seated on the patio looking over the canal. Only critique I have is that side potatoes for lamb kebob dish very kinda old and not edible. Other than that everything was tasty. Food is reasonably priced. I recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Shelly G. 2 months ago on Google • 148 reviews New
    I've been here a couple of times and have loved it each time, so have my fellow diners. The food is genuine Greek cuisine and it is delicious. Sitting in the enclosed patio (December visit) was a good choice. The view of the canal was a wonderful addition to the atmosphere. The serving sizes are good and the prices are comparable to other Greek restaurants in Niagara region. FYI the baklava sundae is soooo good, but should to be shared. I learned that lesson the hard way.

    What a great place to go and enjoy the view of the Welland Canal while enjoying amazing food.. The waitress we had was super attentive and offer great service.. The appetizer, main dish and their Sangria special was delicious 😋. I'll definitely go there again

    Very pleasant place to come for lunch! The service staff and food were both great 👍 I just wish we would have left space for dessert! All prepared in-house, and it looked great.

  • 5/5 Taylor D. 2 years ago on Google
    WOW! Best Greek food I’ve ever had! We weren’t planning on stopping for dinner after our weekend in Niagara, but after hitting a driving range nearby, we were directed to go over a small older bridge instead of backtracking to go over the Skyway. At the end of this bridge was the cutest restaurant resting on the side of the river that just called out to us “Eat Here!”, so we pulled in. Wow what a cute place! We got seated on the all season patio right next to the river, and our server was excellent. We had the Saganaki table-side flambéd cheese as a starter and wowow it was so delicious! For entrees we had the gyro platter and the mousaka, both were amazing and huge portions! Thanks for a great time and great food! I hope to come back next time I’m in the area!

    Overall great food. One star off as the meat was a bit on the dry side. Service was fast and accommodating and the view on the balcony is phenomenal. Bonus points on the VIP motorcycle parking spot.

  • 5/5 Anthony k. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mihir P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing place to eat, beautiful view of the water if you get a spot by the bridge view. Just amazing can't say enough...

  • 5/5 Doug 2 years ago on Google
    We had lunch here recently on the patio and it was excellent. My wife had the chicken souvlaki wrap with Greek salad and I had the pork souvlaki wrap with Greek salad and both were very good and ample portions. I also had the grilled octopus for an appetizer which was very good as well and it was my first time trying octopus. The service was great and the view very good as well. We will go back.

  • 5/5 Anita O. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered lunch for my department at work. All of the food was amazing. Great quality of everything. The food was delivered hot and the salad was fresh, and crispy. Honestly, I will not eat Greek food from anywhere else. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and will eat from here again and again.

  • 4/5 Sammy G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had some of the best appetizers ever. The soup and taziki were great, the bread was amazing. But unfortunately our mains were a bit disappointing, the rice tasted bland, and the meat a bit underwhelming relative to the tasty appetizers. We loved the view from the patio, and our waitress was great! Would try again.

  • 5/5 Tutty L. 9 months ago on Google
    We visited as a group for a wedding reception. The appetizers and the meal were exceptional, with perfectly prepared food. Our waiter, George ( he said not the owner) made our event.....amazing. We will return, thats for sure...... .

  • 4/5 Vaibhav G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food 5/5. Just wish the bakalava was served warm. Garlic bread is bomb!! Not the best service seemed rude (3/5). They were rushing to serve. We wanted to move into the dining room from the patio half way through our meal because of the mosquitos and said no and instead pack our food and leave. Somehow they agreed to move us in the dining room “making it seem they went out of their way. And both the servers weren’t the best.

  • 4/5 The R. 1 year ago on Google
    Went with 14 others to George's for a reunion dinner. Billy Joe was superb! She was so quick and made my Aunt's 80th birthday very special! We brought candles and she was kind enough to make a special desert and bring it over so we could all sing Happy Birthday. She was just amazing!! The food pretty good - was not a fan of the Tzatziki. It has shredded veggie in it but I prefer smooth with a bit of cucumer. The rice was awesome - the chicken was a tad dry. The potatos were very moist with oil. Overall my favourite parts were the salad and rice. I would good back purely for the service, rice and view of the water front.

  • 5/5 dileep n. 2 years ago on Google
    Fell in love with the place. Very good food, delicious and awesome. I am basically an Indian, we use lots and loads of spices in our cooking - especially for meats. Whereas George's cuisine was very mild on spices(comparison to Indian food) but the result was awesome. We tried chicken and lamb kabobs. Main course we had lamb and a vegetarian dish. On top of it, the ambience of sitting at the Patio overlooking the lake was also good. Finally, the service and the waitress were all good. I rate this place 5/5. We will come back again.

  • 5/5 lily P. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious!!! The restaurant had lots of space & a very spacious parking lot. Servers were nice, although we did wait a while for our food, it was definitely worth it. It was nice to have some salad & bread to start off too! Delicious & authentic
