Magic Spot Grill

Best chicken souvlaki in the GTA, if you are on this side of the city you don’t have to go to the Danforth to get genuine, authentic, Greek food, the original owners have been there since the late 70’s and are still cooking!
Great food! Not the best décor but the food is unbeatable!

This place is great. Not fancy, just good food and good service. Family run, Mom & Pop kind of a place, and you won’t leave hungry!

This little restaurant, located a couple blocks east of Royal York station on a north facing corner, epitomizes the no frills greasy spoon diner vibe. But don’t hold that against them, as the prices match that vibe and you can get what seems like some decent food at a decent price. The place is narrow, with the flat top grill and deep fryers right behind the ordering counter.
Burgers run in the $ 4-​$ 6 range a la carte (pre-​tax), but they have combos with fries and drinks for a few bucks more. I had the banquet burger (burger w/​cheese and bacon) and I was definitely happy with it. The bacon had a decent thickness to it, and they certainly didn’t skimp on the toppings. It was a bit greasy, but you’d be hard pressed to find a flat top cooked burger that doesn’t end up like that. Fries were nothing special but adequate.
Other notables include all day breakfast on offer, in addition to a variety of chicken and pork based sandwich and dinner plate options. They are also liquor licensed with rather reasonable prices for bottled beer ($ 4-​$ 6), although I didn’t get a chance to indulge since I stopped in during a quick lunch break. This isn’t exactly the place I’d want to go for drinks but its at least advantageous to know you can have a beer with your dinner if you came here.
Service was friendly, and the bathrooms, while obviously dated, were at least clean.

Best people, best food. Probably come here 3 – 5 atleast per month. Will not be dissapointed.

Best souvlaki around this area.
People here are really nice, although it can get loud with the family that owns the place sometimes. (gReeks :D) Prices are decent. Good place overall.

Unfortunately a one out of five stars is the minimum I could rate them. Placed the order for myself and my wife within 15 minutes mine was ready and my wife’s was forgotten. They mistakenly made the wrong thing for my wife’s order and the lady at the register starts yelling at me telling me that I ordered the wrong thing. Although the young man and the older gentleman apologized and moved on I still feel like there was no need to be yelled at because of a mistake made on their end. First and last time there.

Just started coming here two weeks ago and have already been twice. Cheap and cheerful, big portions and the owners are very sweet. Good quality fast food.

Love this place! Excellent food, very reasonable prices. Family run – great service. The Greek salad here is amazing! Also great souvlaki, potatoes and tzatziki.

We have been going to Magic Spot for over ten years as it is at the end of our street. MS is awesome for a quick meal whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. We have eaten there for all. They have a great menu and even cook a good steak. It’s not fine dining but it is great food, reasonable prices, and the family operating it are great.

I walked in to order take out and there were 3 people working behind the counter who ignored me and didn’t even say hello for 5 minutes. Finally one of them acknowledged me and took my order. I started to ask a question when another customer came up and interrupted me and then they started talking. When they were finished talking he turned his back on me and finally turned around several minutes later. I ordered chicken souvlaki. When I brought it home the chicken was not good quality and there was no tzatziki sauce. What restaurant does not give tzatziki sauce with chicken souvlaki.

There seems to be a problem when paying with a debit card at this restaurant. Even though it read «approved» we were told the payment did not go through on their end, when we then went to a bank across the street to withdraw cash it became obvious that the money did come out. We returned and showed the gentleman behind the counter (who I think was the owner, but I may be mistaken) our account payment history on our bank’s mobile app. It clearly showed the time the payment was made, the amount and the name of the business. This seemed satisfactory at first. Eventually however, and this is by far the worst part about the whole thing, the employee come back and actually interrupted our meal to show some print out of their internal records — claiming again that our payment did not go through. Needless to say, we lost our appetite. Instead of enjoying the food, my husband went back to the bank, lined up to see a teller and got a hard copy of his statement. I did not appreciate feeling pressured to pay twice nor did I think the situation was handled professionally. We won’t be coming back.

Came here for breakfast with the family. Waited for tables to be cleaned. Waited for the menu. Waited for 45 minutes for food. There were four orders and 3 of them were wrong. Breakfast came in pieces, my uncle had finished his breakfast by the time the last order came out. Constantly had to check on food because the server was frantically running around the restaurant and forgot almost everything. Toast was burnt and weomg. Guy rarely came by to check on us. Asked for refills for coffee and only had enough for one. And never cam back to fill the other ones. Food was cold and had hair in it. Most disgusting place I have ever been. Will not come back ever. There weren’t many people in the restaurant yet everybody was waiting for service. Soooo terrible!!!

Great little spot. Excellent Greek food. Quick and affordable. Had the Slouvaki dinner and a Greek salad. Can’t really beat the portion size for $ 12. Will visit often.

Best mom-​and-​pop greasy spoon in the area. A combo of Greek and North American food, made with love, at a reasonable price. Great service. Patio.

Best damn souvlaki in Toronto! Love the burgers, chicken greeks, and especially the feta fries. I have to stop here every time I am in Toronto!

This is a great spot. Always great food. Always friendly energetic staff. Real, fresh, honest good food and service. These guys should proud of the place they’ve built.

Friendly staff and service. All day breakfast menu selections that would sure to satisfy your cravings.

Ordered the gyro on a pita. The meat was very greasy. The tomatoes looked like they were cut with a plastic knife and they put shredded lettuce on it which was the first time I’ve ever seen lettuce in a gyro (it got soggy quickly and became gross) The fries were your run of the mill frozen generic fries. Wasn’t thrilled and maybe will come back one day if I am craving a hamburger.

I went here because I was in the area, figure hit a burger joint. This one was the closest to royal York, I had magic burger, egg could been more runny, wasn’t messy enough for a fried egg, patty was good but doubt it was 6 ouzes, probably will be back

I grew up in the area and have been going here for years for the greek salad which is killer! Huge and tasty. I like to order tzatziki sauce to add to it– makes it even better in my opinion! Although I’ve been told I’m wrong by the people I’m ordering from: P. One tip would be to avoid it later at night unless you’re drunk or have a high annoyance tolerance as it get’s overridden with loud, obnoxious, drunk teenagers.
