    We ordered from this restaurant for a work lunch and all of our lunch was completely burnt, dry and terribly cooked. Upon calling in to let the restaurant know our food was unacceptable we were told that we don't know what we are talking about and the food was cooked perfectly. We have never experienced such poor customer service and such poor quality food. Our department who orders lunch out every week, will never be purchasing from this establishment again thanks to the terrible customer service we received upon calling in to voice our concerns. Take a look at the "Authentic Garlic Bread" we were given as the cheese was raw and fell off of the bread

    The Greek Garden Restaurant was exactly what our taste buds were craving! I wanted coffee and saw Greek Coffee. Never had it before, so I asked the server if it was strong. He said yes. I wanted something mild, and he said he would make it that way. The Greek Coffee came in a very small cup. My first inclination told me it was going to be something I've never tasted before with possible coffee jitters afterwards. It was so delicious and so full of incredible flavors that I knew this was not a gulping drink. I sipped it through my meal. The food soon came and was delicious. Not only did it satisfy my cravings, but I never got the coffee jitters either. I recommend The Greek Garden Restaurant for great service, good food, and excellent Greek Coffee.

    I would probably order here again for takeout only. The dining room is really dated, stuffy, and smells of stale cigarettes. Regulars seated at the bar seemed....well, kind of sketchy tbh. I would compare the food to the 'Greek' food you can get at a food court. It was fine. But yeah, definitely wouldn't go inside the restaurant again.

    Sorry, but this is a rating that needs some help! You have lost enthusiasm in your business! I love greek" gyros" and besides the one at the factory outlet in N.O.T.L yours is the worst! You were lazy and sliced the meat from a chub or something??? The taziki sauce was dry and hardly any, the cucumbers weren't fresh and no smiles from staff...😪

    I built The staircase at the restaurant, for this family that own this restaurant, there was a series of unfortunate circumstances due to payment of checks, they assumed right away, that I was trying to steal from them, I feel sorry for these people that their experiences in life automatically assume that everybody’s out to steal from them. I can prove that I didn’t try to steal anything from them, but they didn’t want to hear it, and proceeded to try to harass me, and then intimidate me and then lie in court in order to get their money back. The only regret I have is, I wish I would’ve came to the realization that it was about them and not about me sooner, and just gave the money back instead of making them come after it,. even though they trash my work, and my name to everybody, that would listen By the looks of the reviews, it doesn’t look like they have a very nice history and how they treat people.I did have the food, I wouldn’t recommend it the facility is old and very poorly maintained

    Unbelievably small portion. Usually greek places pile the food in. Completely skimped out on the food. I'll never go back. Food was horrible too.. trust me DONT GO

    The worst experience ever, the if you want to call it food was horrendously terrible. Flavour less ,old and cold. The service was extremely slow and unpleasant. The cleanliness of the washrooms was atrocious and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year. Extremely overpriced for the less than mediocre experience that we had this evening. If I could give this establishment no stars that would be too many stars.

    We ordered calamari and the flaming cheese for appetizers, the cheese was especially good with the fire for a little drama! For entrees, we ordered chicken, pork and lamb souvlakis. Every choice of meat was tender and juicy and the sides of salad, potato and rice were fresh tasting and well seasoned. Really appreciated them being open today on Boxing Day, the service was great even though there was only one man working the front and the kitchen, he did it all with speed and efficiency. Will be coming back!!

    Absolutely disgusted I called beforehand to see if they were open so clearly I had money to go over there which I always do and I do tip generously a man chase me down from the street who was clearly intoxicated after I called to make sure they were open blaming me that I stole his money from the ATM machine I had my receipt which I still do and I was asked to leave the restaurant very poor service you should be disgusted in yourself I actually gave that young man $20To show me where the restaurant was wasting my time and money going down there and could not even get service they were more worried about the police instead of my protection or my service well absolutely not be backI am so disappointed when the cops went to approach the man after speaking to me and seeing my receipt he ran Doesn’t say much for customer service the waitress was actually very nice and trying to stand up for me the owner I am very disappointed in especially after working in restaurant services for many years and it hurts because I actually love their food just trying to get out and have a night to myself I will never be back again

    Honestly the worst Greek food I have ever had. Cold, small portions, and tasted like frozen food. Don’t go here.

    The restaurant is a gem in a hidden corner. I've been to many amazing Greek restaurant and believe me when I say this is one of the top notch Greek food I've had in my life. It is 5 star food in a corner but hey who cares about the ambience if the food touches your heart! Must try Greek Food!

    Best Greek food I've ever had. I've been to Greece and this is comparable. I've had the Village Greek salad, Fijita Pita, and more. Friendly Greek staff, very very clean, price is right. Free parking. Thanks George can't wait til next time!!!
